This place is full of local goodness! Great southern comfort food (try the corn nuggets and chicken fried steak), live local music, a great patio area, and plenty of Austin history.
Best Burger in Austin! – Hill's Cafe is truly a one of a kind experience. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Must stop in the city of Austin. You HAVE to try the Fat Bob.
Great food and Free music!! – We came in the other night for the first time and loved it. They have free live music on the weekends. I ordered the meatloaf and the waiter told us it was a new recipe and I loved it. My boyfriend had the tex-mex burger and said it was one of the best he has had in a while. The staff was friendly and the manager even cam over to check on us. We will definitely be back!
My new favorite place! – you know I'm pretty hard to please but this place is so freekin awesome! I try to get out there once a week to see all the live music. I really like the menu there and the service is incredible, I'm not sure why other people are having a bad time. I'm sure the staff has changed quite a bit, give it another shot. I really like the songwriter night on tusedays, I'll bring my guitar and play a few songs sometimes. Check it out if you get the chance :)
Excellent food, fun atmosphere... – Interesting, relaxed atmosphere, tons of country music/ movie/political photos cover the walls - each booth/table has been named, giving the impression that some history comes with the place...excellent food: great club sandwich, excellent chicken fried etc., very good vegetables and sides...sadly, some items on the menu were no longer available (so why are they on there?), one member of our party was devastated that the tres leches cake was no longer offered...service was friendly, inform... read more
Awesome – The best time to visit Hill's is on Wednesday night when the Free Texas Music Series is going on. Free concert every Wednesday. The bartenders here are absolutely amazing. I really haven't eatin here much, the food has been good when I have eatin here.
Very Disappointed – I had heard a lot about the restaurant and I am a big fan of Bucky & Bob on the radio, so I was glad when a trip brought me to Austin. What a disappointment! I ordered the national dish of Texas, Chicken Fried Steak. What our surly waiter brought me was quite a small piece of meat with yellow gravy. Portion wise it was certainly not nearly up to Texas standards, but that turned out to be fortunate as it just didn?t plain didn?t taste very good. If I ever go back, very questionable, maybe I will try the ha... read more
My first stop in Austin. – I'm from the Seattle area but travel to Austin regularly. Within the first 12 hours of being in the city, I demand to go to Hill's Cafe for a glorious taste of the famed Hill's Burger. With a down home feeling, Texas pride, a fair representation of longhorns, and big servings, Hill's is the epitome of classic Texas. Live music is sometimes found inside, or outside, the walls of Hill's. The wait staff is composed of mostly UT students. The booths are given themes, with signed photos of Texas icons, ... read more
WORST SERVICE IN AUSTIN! The hostess will leave you standing at the front for extended periods before finally seating you. Once seated, the wait staff will intentionally ignore you. Expect to wait up to 20 minutes or longer before someone even bothers to take your drink order. If you're lucky enough to have that happen, it will take another 20 minutes before they take you order. I and friends have walked out of Hill's three times now without being served. When we complained during the last visit, the snarky blonde, female ma... read more
