    Service was hit or miss with attentiveness and was slow. Most of the food was just okay but would have been better simply by being served hot. The food tasted like we got the leftovers not served to the dinner rush. The mac and cheese was excellent.

    We were there on a Thursday evening around 6:00 p.m. and it was not busy at all. The food was served family style as expected and our server was pleasant. It's kind of like a nice throwback to the past, like going to dinner at Grandma's house. We had no trouble holding a conversation as it was not loud at all. Overall a very nice experience.

    The food was great, service was just ok. The waiter was not very attentive, we had a dirty wine glass, water wasn't refilled, and he forgot part of the order.

    Overall, it was a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with friends. A little noisy. Good, but not spectacular. Still, would consider returning.

    It is always a special evening when we have a meal at Hollyhock Hill. The food is absolutely delicious and the chicken dinner (our favorite) is plentiful. The best in town. We have every anniversary and every birthday here. I proposed to my wife here have not missed an anniversary since. Wonderful people, wonderful food and reasonable prices. Love it!

    Holly Hock Hill wasn't what it used to be. Atmosphere was lower class. Potatoes weren't as good as they used to be. Need more cream - less water in them. Service was good. The price was about $9 more than the last time we were there and the experience just didn't meet the increase in price. We won't go there again.
