Walking distance from the house. Great for lunch. Very friendly people. Last time I was in, only 6 people were allowed inside to place orders and we had to wait outside for our order. No more indoor seating. Limited outdoor tables with umbrellas. Grab sandwiches to go - they are delicious! A Hill favorite.
