Hilltop Restaurant & Catering, 5645 Guide Meridian, Bellingham, WA
North out of town once again along the lovely Guide Meridian, is it a diner? A restaurant? Or a catering business? Yes! It's Hilltop Restaurant!
Vibe: We're On The Road To Breakfast!
Song heard: Alanis Morissette, "Ironic"
Coffee: Very standard.
Did the yolk pop like it should?: Yes, and notice above there were options for crab cakes or salmon, but I stuck with the original and wasn't disappointed.
Can I sit and read a while?: This place is surprisingly large, so yes. Maybe a little too big, really? Bordering on sterile over homey?
Price: $21.42
This is a solid fastball of an EB, down and to the right just a bit. Maybe just a bit too much sauce. The hash browns were fine, but pretty forgettable.
Hilltop does everything right, in a workmanlike way, and maybe that's why I left feeling just a bit disappointed. Can a restaurant and catering business be a good diner? Yes! Can it be a great one you're dying to bring your friends to, to show off a slice of local flavor? Probably not!
Overall:
3 / 5 Nighthawks
