This is the absolute worst food I have tasted in a long time. The food is very low grade in appearance and taste. Worse then hospital food. Denny's has this place beat. Everything has a freezer and microwave taste to it. Very surprised at the low quality of the food and would urge you to reconsider before you eat here. Seems like an ideal place for golfers since it's centrally located on a golf course and convenient if you're golfing. Even with that said, I would eat elsewhere even if you're golfing.

We drove up here to get a breath of fresh air and open space. We loved the outdoor space and the food was just right. Hope to be back to try out a few more options. This go round I had the Grilled chicken sandwich with avacado on brioche bun. Very good.

Great little place up the hill from town with friendly service, delicious drinks, and tasty food! We saw it on Google maps when we were looking for a quick bite before heading to the airport and decided to check it out. We both got an adult beverage and an order of tacos. I had black bean tacos (modified menu item) with a side of rice. My husband had shrimp tacos, which came with rice. For drinks, we tried the Champagne Fizzle and Blueberry Old Fashioned...both wonderful, but my Fizzle was the better of the two. Heehee. We sat at the bar and Taylor took care of us. She was friendly and welcoming.

We did our tasting for my daughter's wedding and it was amazing! We enjoyed all the options! Meredith is very helpful and accommodating.

Attended an event with a large group here a few weeks ago. I was told that I could not bring my partially finished dinner home in a to-go box. Absolutely insane. The worst service by the manager (bearded man with glasses late 30s). Restaurant was completely empty aside from our group. I wonder why…

First time being here. Made reservations for tonight's Special Prime Rib Dinner. Plenty of parking on the street or nearby lot. Great service by Aydan. Ordered the prime rib dinner, medium rare with baked potato, creamed spinach, and Yorkshire pudding. It also had the butter and sour cream for the potato and au jus and cream horseradish for the prime rib. All the food was excellent. Love the atmosphere. Of all the 23 years living in Burbank, finally had the chance to eat there. I'll be returning to try out the rest of the menu! #SumoApproved #SumoFoodieTravelAdventures

Great food and great outdoor seating. They also have a private room for small events. Depending on where you sit, you can see the 10th hole golfers tee off or the 18th hole where golfers finish their game.

As far as a lovely place with a view, this is it. We had brunch today with some out-of-town family that were visiting and we were seated on the outdoor patio, on a beautiful day. The service was a bit slow, but that's not what we're going to dwell on for this review. What we will dwell on, however, was their server "Jared," who while walking by our table decided to spit on the ground right in front of us. Didn't even phase him, like it's completely normal behavior and clearly doesn't even realize he's doing something FOUL and just walked on by... While we find the act of spitting to be disgusting anyway, to do it in a restaurant, in front of guests is UNACCEPTABLE. I approached him and told him so and spoke with his manager. So, I hope he (and his co-workers) sees this and that he's appropriately embarrassed as all get out. Also, to think he's handling peoples food... ack. Hard to believe this was the only time too. So gross, I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon!

Went to a wedding this Saturday. The wedding was out the Hilltop restaurant and bar. Nice wedding although they started 2 and a half hours later. Nice area, golf course and sightings of deers.

I really wanted to like this place because it's never crowded and it's inexpensive but man I can't remember feeling less welcome in a dining room since my childhood visits to my spinster great aunt who hated kids. The first few Sunday morning visits, I asked for Tobasco sauce with my sandwich ... first time it never came, second time I ate here it came but not after some eye rolling and sighing from the guy I asked for it, and the third time we went to this restaurant I went to grab it myself off the bar as the food was coming ... and also was met with a look of disdain and another eye roll from the same guy (manager?) who was helping bring the plates out. I thought maybe he thought I was mad that I had to get it myself when he shot me that look so I said, "you have your hands full, I didn't want to bother you asking for this." This last time we went, I sneaked to the bar to get it when no one was looking, but the eye rolling and beleaguered sighs came when we asked for an extra setup because the napkin wrapped around one was wet. Yes, it was wet because as I was pouring water for one of my friends at the table, the ice came out real fast and unexpectedly, and some water spilled on the table. But the friend who picked up that napkin didn't know that...she just knew that ew, this is a wet napkin. Would it kill him to just get another napkin for her? Apparently, yes it would. They hate us so bad at this restaurant, I don't know why but when one of my friends was leaving the bathroom and saw them cleaning the table after we left she heard them talking about us. We spilled water on the table (less than 2 Tablespoons) and we were so rude, according to them. And they never brought us a napkin. I never saw any of us being rude but I know we certainly were shocked and felt unwelcome after being huffed at when we actually responded 'yes,' when they asked us if they could get us anything else. The nerve of us! The food is okay but absolutely nothing special. A couple of the servers and one of the busboys ... super friendly and hard working. But these days when restaurants are struggling, I'm going to support the ones that foster a good environment for their customers and staff and and earn repeat business. We won't burden the Hilltop restaurant with our group again.

This place was incredibly disappointing. The manager, Ashley, was just awful. He was so rude and upset that we asked if we could put tables together so we could as a family sit together. We had reservations as it was my aunt's birthday. I was shocked that a manager would carry himself this way. Visibly upset and fuming. He eventually moved the tables together and chairs, but even hit my uncle's leg with one of the chairs while moving them because he was so pissed off. No apology! Ashley is in the wrong line of work if he will be treating people this way. As a manager, he should be a leader and treat people with respect. We were not rude to him when we asked if we could move the tables together. The food was bland and nothing special. The only person we were so grateful for was Adam, our server. He was smiling from the moment he came to take our drink order. He is the only reason we even stayed to dine here after the way the manager treated us when we got there. Will not be returning and do NOT recommend this place.

Beautiful view in the hills of Burbank. The atmosphere is just plain relaxing. Full bar, inside and outside seating, group room.

Great food, and loved the outdoor setting. I'd definitely go back again. Champagne mimosas were great too!

Came to Burbank Hilltop restaurant located at the DeBell golf course and was pleasantly surprised how good the experience was. Our server Ashley was amazing being very attentive even while they were short staffed. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. While having dinner with friends we saw deer and a coyote on the golf course. It was such a beautiful setting out on the patio. We will definitely be back for brunch!
