Hilltop Cafe

My family didn't feel like driving into Paradise for a good breakfast, and so we ended up at Jaki's Hilltop Cafe. I ordered the "Balboa " french toast and was glad I did. The food was great tasting and did not take too long to make. My husband commented that his chicken fried steak was great tasting. The service, staff, and overall restaurant experience was very professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely disgusting French Dip. No idea how the other food is but what I did get was absolutely the worst thing. The meat was cut too super thick, it was cool to the touch, and it was rubbery. Please do NOT get the French dip here. It was genuinely inedible.

I have tried multiple times to give this place a chance. I really wanted to like it since we don’t have many options up here. Today we thought we would eat in. Maybe it would be fresher than the take home we have tried several times. Always the food is soggy. I threw the waffle into our air fryer and crisped it up nicely. Same with the French fries. However with no power today that wasn’t an option. We went for breakfast. I ordered a NY steak and eggs. My first plate came with a lovely sliver of metal. Maybe from the brush they used to clean the grill? Ok no problem it happens. I was told they would get me a fresh plate with new food, but 5 minutes later they clearly brought out the same plate. Then lied to me about it. The steak was the same. The eggs were cold. My hash browns were cold. No way was this fresh food. They assured us we would not pay for my plate yet they overcharged us anyway, claiming that my husbands plate was over $20. I cook way too good myself to ever need to return here again. If I had the means I would open up my own restaurant to give this poor town a decent option.

Food is always great. Service is always great. They don't enforce masks but the staff always have their masks on. I realize you can't wear a mask when you eat but most customers have no mask with them at all.

I like the people working there. They are very nice. But the food is just too salty. Everything i tried had way too much salt. I spoke to someone else that lives in the area and he said the same thing. If they wouldn't add so much salt i think the food would be very good. I ended up throwing most of it away it was so bad. Besides that everything else was fine.

Tracy is the Best-- Friends I sat with were imprest at the fact she knew my name and remembered
My special requests.
The owner always has a cordial greeting. Food is great and prices reasonable. Kept Clean

Forst time for me the food wasn't my style, but the staff and atmosphere were amazing. I didn't feel compelled to complain in person as my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. I instead left a note in suggestion box about food issue. Got a call back and they left a VM about full refund...wow. I will have to be back and try something else and double tip the waitress due to refund. This is how you run a business.

Great food, friendly people and clean restaurant!

I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. But, waiting for simple foods. Salad's, cottage cheese with fruit plate. Took 45. Min. I asked waitress why the delay?. She said we are only allowed to serve the tickets in order. .. I have worked as cook for all genres of food. From fine dinning banquet, lounge, and coffee house to Cafe. Even a school. And if served by their logic. No one would get service. Know what I'm saying.🤗 Jakie I love you. But you need to train , get new cook.
