General Info
The Hillside Restaurant was started in 1955, making it the most well established restaurant in Northern Illinois. When it began it was a small counter style chicken house, created in a charming building that had been a shoe store and a doughnut shop. As business grew, new menu ideas were added to keep DeKalb in step with what was new and exciting. When Lasagna was first put on our menu, no one had ever heard of it, and it caused quite a stir. Little by little, the menu has grown to include old fashioned favorites and trendy new creations, never losing sight of our love for fine ingredients and real home cooking. From then until now, our passion has been to bring homemade favorites and brand new innovations to your palate. Since our menus change with every season there is always something new in the air. But just as important, you can always get the same favorites you've had for years

I went to the Hillside Restaurant last week, and had the best home cooked meal that I have had in a long time. I could tell that the service was important to the management. Everything was set as it should be, and our server was always prepared to do whatever it took to satisfy me. The food was wonderful and the Chocolate cake was to die for. I have heard that Gavin the chef at the restaurant is an award winning chef, and can sing a tune once in a while. I would like to hear him sing. It was a great meal, Kudos to the chef.
It's small and quiet. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The extensive menu had selection for everyone in my family.
Hillside offers some excellent food, at a decently fair price. Unfortunately their portions are somewhat lacking for the price, and I found the layout of the restaurant too cramped for comfort. Overall not a place I would go to all the time, but nice once in a while for a night out of the house.
