We had a group of 12 people (called ahead of time) on a Monday morning. We were sat right away but it took a good 15 minutes for our server to ask for drink orders, then another 15 minutes to get our coffee, ect.... By the time we ordered our food it had been at least 40 minutes. It took another hour before we got our food! My eggs and hash browns were fine but my sausage links were like warm like barely cooked, and my toast was just warmed up bread NOT toasted! Bad experience for all of us. BTW other tables of people why came in the same time of just after us had their food ate and paid their bills before we got our food! Very unprofessional! Maybe they are just unkind to out of towners or against bikers... would've left great tips if it was better read more

Hilltop Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - L'Anse, Michigan

Have been coming to the Hilltop a few times a year for about 15 years. Always had decent food and service. On this visit, I ordered a hot beef sandwich. What ended up coming out were 2 slices of bread with one thin slice of beef and a half gallon of brown gravy. The potatoes, beef, gravy, and coleslaw all lacked seasoning. The server was nice enough, and offered to get me more beef, but it had already taken 20 minutes from the time our order was taken to when the food arrived. Just don't have unlimited time while at lunch. Sadly, the quality of the food sure seems to have gone downhill. read more

Let's address the cinnamon roll in the room. It's huge, HUGE, yup - and given the massive size, we were expecting there to be bake issues that tend to come with colossal rolls. There were NOT. It was a perfect bake, and I do mean perfect. Not a hard spot to be found, while still being done throughout. To top it off, both literally & figuratively, the icing was exactly the right amount. Needless to say, it is of self-worthy proportions. We also split a fish & chips meal that was tasty, and couldn't finish it, having started with the roll. I could stop there & be happy. These guys went beyond that tho, with fantastic service to boot. Drinks were never empty. We got regular check-ins without hovering. Seriously, the best service of our entire roadtrip all because we happened to stop in on a whim. There's a sitting area decorated up for season & staff offered to take our picture while the food was cooking. An absolutely adorable idea! Plus, very reasonable prices! read more

Hilltop Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - L'Anse, Michigan

A good variety of breakfast options. We both chose the lumberjack breakfast with 3 eggs, 3 sausage links, 3 bacon strips, hashbrowns, and toast (we got the cinnamon swirl). Our server was friendly and efficient, checking in with us several times. The food came out hot, quickly, and cooked correctly. The decor was cute, with flowers and murals set up all over the restaurant. They had many baked goods for sale, including a gigantic cinnamon roll. Tempting, but we were already full from breakfast. The food was all decently priced and we felt like we got a bargain! read more

Food was very delicious. Dinner comes with soup, salad, potato & vegetable. Homemade dinner rolls are very large and so fresh. Sweet potato criss cut fries are probably the best I've ever had. Make sure to get a humongous cinnamon roll to enjoy later. They were even better than all of the reviews I have read! We will be back! read more

Hilltop restaurant has now extended hours and days. I've been there quite a few times. It just kept up very nicely. The waitresses are very friendly and very efficient. The food has been excellent, hot, and very desirable to eat. You won't be disappointed. read more

A totally solid breakfast. We'd eat here again. We managed to hit a morning where the staffing was a bit low so it took a while. If you find you're waiting for a seat a bit long and are on a tight schedule, this might be a sign to try elsewhere. Service took a little while, but the result was fresh and delicious. read more

I had low expectations since reading the recent reviews. We arrived at 1:15 so assumed the lunch crowd would be gone. There were maybe 5 other tables taken. Overall the food was great but the service was not. Took 15 min to get menus and be greeted. 2 other couples arrived after us and and were given menus so I assumed the locals got better service than the tourists. Our server seemed exhausted. There was another server who generally seemed happy to be there and probably would've made a world of difference if we had her. I would recommend the chili or any burger. Sandwiches were okay. They had tons of sweet treats to go. We took a cinnamon roll and it was probably the best cinnamon roll I've ever had! read more

Ok so had ordered ribs and a Rubin and we'll when I got there found out they had to replace the rib order with liver and onions because there were no more ribs? All good they called back before I got there. As you will see in the pics the food was so so and never put ketchup packets on someone's food without a paper between it as per people touch those with dirty hands and with Covid big No-No! Sandwich was off tasting and bread soggy, fry's over cooked, slaw was wilting. Sa for liver and onions over cooked and burnt so ate the potato and part of the Rubin rest in trash! See the read more

Stopped in for a "sweet roll" (aka cinnamon roll) and I must say it lived up to the hype. One giant roll is big enough to share btwn 2-4 people! Restaurant and restrooms were super clean. read more

Worth the trip for a cinnamon roll 4 adults can share! Looking forward to next trip to da UP.

I came here to get food in my belly. I wanted that food to be a pasty, but they only sell frozen pasties up front to go. Then I was told I could order anything off the menu. "Aren't there pasties on the menu?" I asked. So yes, in fact, they do sell regular pasties, or at least reheating the frozen ones. Not a great start. I decided to roll with a giant cinnamon roll, since they're famous for that. I found the one with the least icing. Unwrapped it: not really fresh. I don't know how quickly these things go stale, but I wouldn't be surprised if they microwave it should you order in so that it comes out hot and supple instead of cold and stale. Yeah, no. Customer service ish, food quality ish, miss instead of a hit. read more

Stop every trip up to Houghton and grab a few cinnamon rolls! They are HUGE moist and delicious every time!

Enjoyed the fish basket. Fish battered just right, lots of fresh cut lemons, good tarter sauce. Huge delicious dinner roll. Generous serving of cole slaw. (I never understand restaurants that give tiny servings of coleslaw. What's up with that? Cabbage is cheap!) Good service accompanied by a favorite Keewenaw beer. On vacation in area, wish we had a restaurant like this at home! read more

We came for breakfast on Sunday morning, a group of 9. They were very short staffed but only seated what the servers could handle. Because of this, we did wait a few for a table which was totally fine. The server definitely knew what she was doing, despite being overworked. We are generally pretty low maintenance so did not require much attention. The food was exactly as expected, great because we didn't have to cook it. No complaints. read more

It may not look like much from the outside, but what the facade lacks, the food makes up for. Our party of 4 was not disappointed with the food or service. Their tomato basil soup is a must try...it is true comfort food in a bowl and homemade. I highly recommend buying their baked goods too (sold at the counter). read more

I can't speak for the current covid safety measures, but when I went, there was good social distancing and every server had on a mask. Dining area and restrooms are very clean. I love Hilltop. We stop here every year on our way back from our cottage for breakfast and cinnamon rolls to bring home. "Big as a baby's head" is how they are advertised, and I'd wager they are as big as the whole baby! I love the delicious apple center and these rolls make a great snack for our long drive home. I haven't had a breakfast that I haven't loved there. I look forward to it as a part of our trip. There is a cute little souvenir area too if you need last minute gifts for yourself or family. read more

This restaurant was a fantastic find! We left our hotel and complimentary breakfast behind in houghton, MI in search of better breakfast options and a hot cup of coffee. The hilltop is located just south of downtown L'anse and shares a parking lot with the hilltop motel. Once we stepped inside we saw a counter filled with house made pastries and HUGE sticky buns, which this place is known for. It's set up seat yourself style so we grabbed a table and were immediately approached by a server. We got bottomless coffee. Typical diner coffee, a bit weak but hot and caffeinated lol The menu is diverse and there's options for everyone. Seems like this place is all around awesome for all meals. We went for breakfast of course so I can only speak to that for now though. I ordered a western omelet with the home made cinnamon swirl bread, my husband got a breakfast skillet and our son got cinnamon swirl French toast. We all had our eyes on the famous stuffed French toast but it was a situation of eyes no doubt being bigger than our stomachs. All three meals were perfectly portioned, properly priced and delicious. The waitress was polite and attentive and I only have good things to say. Also good to note that there's a cute little gift shop corner inside and displays of local fishing victories and a community animal shelter raffle. I love when a business effortlessly showcases the town and uplifts the community all at once and this place does. I'll be back for beer (yes they offered craft beer for dinner service!) and more food. read more

Service was excellent (shoutout to Lila)! Giving mom & pop restaurant vibes. The food was some of the best food I've had in a while, my steak was made perfectly. Very affordable, had zeros issues. We got the lumberjack breakfast & steak and eggs with coffee for $30! We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. read more

This review is going to be straight and to the point, if you are in the area stop by and grab a 1lb cinnamon bun! I was skeptical at first, but on a trip up to Houghton, MI we stopped by and I was made to take one of these with me for the drive. I think I tried to fit the entire bun in my mouth because it was the most delicious and moist bun I have had in a very long time. I don't know when I'll be back in the area again, but I definitely need to grab one when we are on the drive back down state! read more

3.5 Stars if Yelp allowed it! Let me start by saying The Cinnamon Rolls are AMAZING and if I could give a separate review for them, it would absolutely be 5-STARS! Worth a stop just to try one! The rest of our food was just okay. Ribs just had sauce poured over them. The Turkey in an open face sandwich was a little dry, but the mashed potatoes and gravy were great! Service was friendly and they are wheelchair accessible. read more

I had the stuffed French toast. It was delicious. The cinnamon cream cheese made it perfect. I have to say it is the best stuffed French toast I have ever had. The fresh fruit is really good as well.

We were greeted immediately upon entering for breakfast a bit before nine on a Monday. We were told to choose our own table (there were many to choose from) and got our menus quickly and ordered right away. The food came out almost alarmingly quickly, and it quickly became obvious that while the orders were correct, and the eggs cooked to order, the rest of the meal came off a steam table. The bacon was thin and limp, the hash browns cool and mushy, and the sausage gravy bland and room temperature. The waitress was attentive and cheerful - I just wish the food had been better. read more

Really loved the restaurant. The wait staff was friendly and energetic.We got our food fast and it tasted godlike. Furthermore, they took the time to address my dad's dietary needs; moreover, the waitress made sure the food was correct. Lastly they made sure after the fact to ask how was our food was and if we wanted anything else. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the area. Will definitely come back again.
