First time ordering at Hilltop Caribbean Grill. I ordered a side of collard greens and a jamaican beef patty. The collard greens were super flavorful & great portion size for a side item. I was almost done with my Jamaican beef patty (hence the photo) , grabbed my phone, took a picture, and came to leave this review because WHY was that the best beef patty I've ever had in my life. I will be ordering again! read more

Hilltop Caribbean Grill - Jamaican Beef Patty - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

See all

Unassuming spot with an unbelievable product. The owner/chef explained the choices and we went with the jerk chicken and curry goat. Adding the included greens, plantains and you have more than enough great tasting food. Exceptional is what I would say..what a gem. read more

Excellent food! I ordered the vegan jerk tofu and it was delicious! Great service and food was made to order. Good price for the amount of food also. read more

Hands down one of my go-to Jamaican spots! Usually go for the chili wings, but tried the jerk chicken this time - still fire ! Everything they do is on point, from the vibe to the service. Mac & cheese is a game-changer, btw. Fair prices, always a win. read more

Ordered on uber eats and they immediately canceled the order with no explanation, disappointed because the menu looks good

I was in the area hanging out with my bestie and ordered takeout for lunch. We had the Salmon Rasta Pasta. Awesome! And the Jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage. Very flavorful and fresh! I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

That Jerk BBQ Salmon is so fire . The Mac and Cheese is crack too . That patty... they need some work. I had a squirt of veggies on the inside. It reminded me of the cracker from communion . Definitely coming back. read more

I've never had Caribbean food and I pass this place often so today I thought, why not. I was not disappointed. First time having oxtails, jerk chicken rice & I will be back. This was some good eating S/O to the chef read more

A hidden gem in the Stonecrest area, I wanted pasta bad but most West Indian spots don't do fresh pasta or have it where you can't get it unless you order ahead it's always an issue, but they deliver with efficiency. I ordered the shrimp Rasta Pasta and they got a customer in me, don't let the looks fool you, the food matched every bit of the time I waited for them to make it Freshly read more

I am not sure what a jerk chicken meal cost but 1 chicken leg jerked cost 11.00 dollars now that is outrageous. I have live in the Stonecrest area since 2005, there is no Jamaican restaurant in the vicinity that charges that , you don't even get bread. read more

The only drawback was communication. I stopped by here after getting my nails done next door. I went inside to place my order and there were 2 people in front of me. I couldn't tell who had already ordered and who was waiting. Within 2 minutes a gentleman behind the counter called me up, asked for my order, then walked away. Then a woman behind the counter was standing near the register and asked for my order. I repeated it for her and then paid. She told me to wait outside in my car and asked where I was parked. I told her I was directly in front of the door and told her the color, make, and model of my car. As I was sitting in my car, I was able to go through an short job interview over the phone and I watched as orders were walked out to 2 other vehicles next to me. I went back inside after about waiting about 20 minutes. The woman inside immediately recognized me and said they couldn't find my car. Remember.....I said I was parked directly in front of the door now. Literally when the door opened my car was right there. But ok. I took my food and left. The food was scrumptious. I ordered oxtails. They were so good and so was the cabbage and rice and peas. I also purchased a homemade pineapple and ginger juice and LOVED it. I will definitely eat here again. read more

Hilltop Caribbean Grill - Jerk chicken lunch for 5.99 with yellow rice n gravy. You get one side but I am counting calories so I didn't get it - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Went there as I have in the past and I was totally disappointed by my food order. I ordered a medium jerk chicken and I got a half of two pieces of chicken. Half of a leg and half of a thigh. So I got one piece and some rice and peas and broccoli for $16.00 that's just awful! Last time spending my money in there!!! read more

I was charged the same price for a small curry goat as a large I purchased a week before. Need I say more?

I like Hilltop for their vegetarian option, their jerk tofu is spicy, but really good. I've also found that it's made to order which is great. I'm not sure if their non-vegetarian dishes are or not. I've never really paid attention to anything other than the veggies on the hot bar. Any who, the reason for the below average rating is due to my first time experience. I ordered the jerk tofu and went to the alterations shop next door thinking my food would be ready when I got back and it wasn't. In fact, maybe 20 min after I got back in there, the cashier told me the chef got my order wrong and had to make it over =\. Ok, wtv, do your thang, but then that took another 15+ min. So after I finally received my order, I'm like this should definitely be free and the cashier is hesitant. She goes to get the chef and I tell him the same thing and he says how about we go half and I'm like =\. Wtf. I should've left it in there but I was too hungry and my mouth had been set on this jerk tofu, so I agreed. I've been back since because I haven't discovered many Jamaican restaurants on this side with vegetarian options, but that somewhat put a sour taste in my mouth. The food is good though. read more

I went to this place for a whole red snapper escovitch with peas and rice and cabbage The fish was as dry as hot sand hard as a rock and was not seasoned. The rice and peas tasted old and the cabbage was mush. A waste of $50.00 And that was supposed to be my Sunday dinner... Just nasty read more

This is what I'm talking about! You can taste the love. And they're not mask crazy, you can dine in and the guy that owns the place is awesome! I had the goat curry, plantains and collard greens. Caribbean food... Soul food... Damn good food! I bought three meat pies to go and can't wait to eat them. If they're half as good as my goat curry they're going to be awesome! read more

I discovered this place and was instantly sprung on their jerk chicken recipe. I probably ordered take-out here while visiting GA a total of 10 times. I was never disappointed. The portions exceed expectations and every food item I ordered was executed masterfully. Their Lunchtime specials could very well be the best in the area. Also, their bbq chicken (the meat was sweet-n-tender), curry chicken (the meat was so tender), and seasoned fried fish plates are on hit! Lastly, the owner told me that they have been in business for over 8 years. That means they are doing a lot of things right. This is a family-owned & operated small business, so I encourage everyone to keep their money in their community by patronizing this place. Guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds & you'll receive quick, friendly, & efficient service. read more

I went on June 9th and was charged for 3 curry chicken Pattie's yet I only ordered 2; I had also ordered coco bread and jerk chicken fried rice. I returned June 13th to get the Patty they owed me and I decided to order more food: an extra Patty, a lunch special, coco bread, and jerk fried rice again. When I got home and looked at the receipt, they overcharged me for everything: lunch special is advertised 7.99 but they charged me 8.27; coco bread was 2.59 last week but 2.85 the 2nd time. Fried rice was 5.18 the last time yet 6.21 the 2nd time. And I used the same credit card. I called and talked to them but the lady said it's up to the owner to make the prices. Pricing is inconsistent. Beware. read more

Hilltop Caribbean Grill - Compare the prices for the coco bread & fried rice. Also, the Lunch Special is always advertised $7.99 yet they charged me more. - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

The food was very good. The customer service was HORRIBLE. If you don't want to work stay home. They need to hire some young people to brighten the place. I still left tip after that fat old lady was rude to me. read more

This is our go-to Jamaican food restaurant right near the house! We've been eating here for years! Lots of vegan options, too!

Ok I tried this restaurant finally and I gotta say it wasn't bad. I ordered the grilled salmon, rice&peas and veggies + sweet potato souffle. My grilled salmon was overcooked and the sweet potato souffle was a little too sweet plus they added way to much cinnamon to it. The rice&peas was ok and the veggies were perfect. I will return to this restaurant and order something besides the salmon. They have more variety than most Caribbean restaurants and the service is good plus this restaurant was extra clean which is always a plus. read more

Hilltop Caribbean Grill - Grilled salmon, peas&rice, sweet potato souffle. Salmon was overcooked. - Caribbean Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

This food was terrible. I can tell that it wasn't fresh at all. Day old jerk rice and canned collard greens that lacked any type of flavor. The menu is a mess and the food presentation looks horrible. I don't give bad reviews but the truth is the truth. If the food wasn't at least a day old and reheated than that's even worse. read more

Let me start off by saying I could of been eating GREAT FOOD like this a year ago. I usually go to Panera Bread on the corner for lunch. For some reason there was an extremely long wait about a week ago at lunch time. I decided to stop in Hilltop to have some Jerk Chicken and collard greens. All I can really say is GREAT TASTE.. atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Small hometown feel. Owner is very friendly and staff is very polite with all kinds of advice for a first timer. I am a Newbie to Caribbean cuisine. NO FEARS place is excellent. Thanks Again read more

Food is delicious! So many options - especially for vegetarian/vegans! And the various drinks and homemade juices were excellent. Definitely try one of the juices! Our group had everything from jerk tofu, curry chicken, oxtails and conch fritters. There was not one bad dish - all great! Will definitely come back. read more

Menu has good options and some food is served on certain days of the week. I had the brown chicken and it was good. The meat was tender & juicy. My encouragement for the owner's & staff is to smile & be friendly. I did not feel welcome at all. There are several Caribbean options in the area but this was my first one to visit. read more

The best! First time here. Great authentic food. Great service. Clean and welL kept. So many good choices!! Lunch specials, $5.99 and they give yyiu a lot of good. If you're in the Atlanta, come by. You won't be disappointed. read more

But imagine...if you are a true Jamaican you know that anything that starts with but imagine is not good. This is my second time trying this place, came in with the hopes of getting a beef patty, but saw they had Stew Peas, my favorite. So I decided to try it, and try it I did. In all my 45+ years on this earth I have never tasted anything so bad. It was more like soup it was so thin. There was nothing that resembled seasoning, it was totally inedible. I must say that the service was very good, the server was very engaging and complimentary on the choices, and I hope she did not cook the food. The funny thing is there was a sign on the wall that said "COOK WANTED TO START NOW" I'm fine print it said "This is not a teaching restaurant" and now it makes sense. My poor Jamaican grandmother would vex dem a serve soup as stew. read more

The customer service is horrible. You don't feel welcomed. I ordered food that wasn't available and was still charged. When asked if I was charged they lied and said no. I pre ordered my food to make sure it was ready when I got there and I still had to wait 30 mins. read more

The food was okay but it definitely needed more seasoning. I probably won't purchase from here again. The plantains were really good.

This meal was so nasty would NOT RECOMMEND IT ! Restaurant is less than 6 minutes away from my house and it still managed to come cold. I literally had to throw up when finding these hairs. read more

I wanted some good carribean food and was in the mood food something comforting from a long day of traveling and I saw this place on Yelp and I said let's go with it. This was a cute little restaurant with a mom and pop feeling. I ordered curried chicken, rice and peas, and collard greens (callaloo?) The serving said no this is collard greens. Ok I still want it. I also ordered jerk wings as a side dish. My son ate the wings and said that they were good however not spicy enough for his taste. My curry chicken was good but missed the spot. First I ordered the large portion and got two heaping portions of rice and peas. They filled large section of the plate with rice and peas? Then filled the two smaller portions with the greens and curry chicken. Excuse me but I did order a large curry chicken not a large peas and rice. For the money I paid and to get only three small portions of meat and get a large portion of what I didn't want is bad customer service. Now come on you just put a huge portion of rice in the largest section and you're ok with this assignment? The flavor of the greens were not a traditional carribean flavor. I would not serve those style of greens here. They should be served for a BBQ place or chicken restaurant. The green had too much vinegar which is a killer to anyone eating carribean style food because of the differ flavors. My suggestion is to find someone who can make real callaloo and replace those out of place (chicken restaurants) greens I really think this is a great idea for a restaurant but too much rice and peas with bad tasting greens really is not make it for me. Poor execution with high expectations cause me to say this place is average at best. I will not be back for a long time read more

I don't eat breakfast so at three o'clock in the afternoon I was on the verge of being hangry. I had to make a trip to GA with my daughter who was happy to divulge Hardy's. I don't eat fast food hence my starvation. Came to this spot and got a great 5.99 lunch special with jerk chicken and rice n peas. I had the mixed vegetables as a side. I had a home cooked meal for six dollars, the same price of my daughters greasy burger A tip is they do have sweet tea made with brown sugar! You just have to ask! read more

Nah this ain't it the food was sub par I got the lunch special brown stew chicken which came up to 8 and some change... but the beef Pattie's hit however I was feeling how you charged me 7.84 for two of them that's wyle fr fr I ate here once prolly won't go back ‍ read more

Every time i come into that store i get very mean rude stares. There's a woman there who keeps asking me to wear a mask. This has been lifted and i dont need a mask to enter. I told her this she understands but still is very cold. She wanted to then serve me as i walk out but when i looked at the dood it just didn't even look hot when i approached the counter. Food looked old. I later tried to get food again there like maybe things would be different but no still so mean looking and cold that i just simply walked in then right back out. Theres too many caribbean places to eat at that will speak snd be polite and food is hot and ready to be putting up with hilltop. read more
