When it began it was a small counter style chicken house, created in a charming building that had been a shoe store and a doughnut shop. As business grew, new menu ideas were added to keep DeKalb in step with what was new and exciting. When Lasagna was first put on our menu, no one had ever heard of it, and it caused quite a stir.

If there was a restaurant in DeKalb that was deserving of a Michelin star it would be Hillside. Excellent food and Chef Gavin is top notch.

Have always wanted to try the Hillside restaurant, but our experience there was not the best. I had the chicken schnitzel with Hunter sauce. The sauce was terrible, I don’t know what the flavor was, but it was not appealing. The sauce also covered the noodles and that made them inedible. On top of that, we were informed that they only serve beer and wine and we could not get a cocktail. What kind of supper club nowadays does not serve alcohol? That was our first visit there and sorry to say it’s our last visit there.
