Hilltop House Restaurant - Fayetteville

Thanksgiving buffet was a home run. There was a good variety of very tasty, seasonal, farm fresh choices, along with a few southern favorites thrown in. The food was hot. The buffet room was a little small, but didn't feel cramped, even with several trays side by side. Server was very friendly and helpful.

Due to DST complications (LOL) I had to push out our reservation which was not an issue at all so thank you for that!! Our server though was not on the ball but was decent. It took her a while to greet us, did not explain anything about the buffet process (we missed out on the dessert table because we didn’t know it was in the other room), slacked on the coffee refills and didn’t know the liquor list but was a sweet girl. My only complaint about the noise was that they had the tv tuned on the football game which was fine... it was just that the noise level was right at that point where you couldn’t quite make it out but you could hear it... kinda like an annoying gnat right in your ear. (We were two tables away from it, to the right side so we could barely see the screen if we did want to watch) Otherwise the place was very quaint and cozy with a bit of a romantic feel even during the day. The food was top notch!!! I tried just about everything (that didn’t have grits) and enjoyed it all! My only reason for 4stars not 5 was more regarding the “serving” process as the room became difficult to navigate when it was busy but everyone was very friendly so it wasn’t a big deal. (I do understand the pains of working a buffet, trust me! LOL) The price wasn’t extreme but was on the high side. Also, I was under the impression based on your website that there were mimosas as part of the price only to be told otherwise. (If they were I feel the price would be more on point) All in all it was a fabulous experience and we will definitely be returning for a nice dinner next time I’m in town. Thank you!

We were seated promptly. The food was delicious and the waitresses were attentive.

Steaks were not tasty at all. My husband felt his was almost boiled.

The temperature in the room with all the windows and attached to the buffet room is usually a little warm. Overall delicious food and friendly/attentive employees. 4 stars over all.
