Hilltop Restaurant

This restaurant has been a fixture for Spencer and the surrounding communities for many years. My family has frequented it for many years during our annual vacation in McCormick's Creek State Park (approximately six miles away). The venue is relaxed and Owen County-friendly.

Upon arrival, you order your meat entree (ham, steak, chicken, or pot roast), then wait briefly for your table to be set up. The Hilltop has a large dining room with flexibility to seat any size party together, usually at long tables.

Salads, vegetables, rolls, and great orange marmalade are served family-style along with your meat entree (vegetable plates are also available. You can also request a glass of tomato juice to enjoy with your salad.

Prices are very reasonable and service is always friendly. Further, the owner seems to always be on site to ensure a quality experience and often visits with us.

One last thing, save time to walk out on the Hilltop's front porch. The restaurant is located on the top of a hill (thus, the name) and the vista in all directions is breathtaking.

We returned to Hilltop after seeing at ad in our local paper about the new owners and improvements. Sorry folks not much has changed, rolls might be pretty good but are served cold, Very stingy with their sides, marmelade etc. we had a table of 6 and got one small bowl of each vegetable. and yes they will bring more but you should at least have enough to go around the table once without feeling like you can only take a tiny spoonful. Not impressed with the new ownership.
