The food was pretty good nothing to complain about at all. As for the atmosphere it's your old home town backwoods southern feel for sure; in my mind it's awesome. Service was by far superb. Get samples of their jams to try (highly suggest the pumpkin) on your toast yummy. Everyone was so nice and talkative. Thank you for a great experience.

This is the kind of place the locals go. The breakfast was delicious, and the homemade jams reminded of my childhood. Yum! The waitress running the place Saturday morning was a sweetheart.

Jamie is the best owner of a Restaurant my wife and I ever met. She’s always busy making sure the customers are happy and the coffee cup is refilled. She makes home-made jam and jelly. They’re on your table ready for you. They’re FABULOUS !! Entire menu has great variety. Priced right for a working-class family. Family friendly dining at its finest with a little humor along the way. A little banter between patrons and staff is welcoming to us. How about you all ? Hmm ? Stop in at Jamie’s Hilltop Cafe’ ! You’ll be glad you did !! see you there !!

We found Cafe Hilltop after talking to two different groups of locals. Both said this was the place for breakfast. I wholeheartedly agree. I ordered "The Mound" and it was great! As a bonus we got to sample homemade jams & jellys. I ended up buying 4 different jellies if that gives you any indication of how good they are. Two thumbs way up.

My husband and I ate here for breakfast twice this past weekend. Food is excellent! Our waitress was a gem - so sweet and attentive! The homemade jellies and jams were terrific! (Try the red pear!) If we find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely be back!

Love coming here, my friends and I meet here once a month for breakfast. We drive in from different directions, and I drive from Spring Green. The waitress is awesome! We take baked goods nearly every time we're there. Summer time is plant time. Her homegrown pants produced beautiful tomatoes. Like I said, this place is cool and the food is great .
