    Haven't been here in years because of a couple bad experiences previously. So glad we decided to give it another try! Really love the hot rock cooking experience & will be back for that again soon! Tomato bisque soup is delicious & the bread is the best I can ever remember having anywhere (yes, even better than Highland House! Oh my goodness gracious!!)

    First time ever dining - and I commented to everyone in our party that I knew the restaurant had been there for 30 years (turns out, 32 years). Service was terrific - by Laura. The food was delicious and served promptly. Overall, an incredibly great dining experience and good value, too!

    I booked Parker's Hilltop because it was in Clarkston and close to DTE Music theater and we were going to a concert. The place was very spacious and very nice! I would love to sit at the bar next time I come. The beer I had was amazing and the pierogis where delicious! Oh, and the fried pickles were soooooo good!!! This was a great place to enjoy some great food and drinks before hitting a show at DTE which is usually when I go out to Clarkston. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
