    TBD - We are looking forward to visit Willow Hill's new restaurant in the near future. When there was a hiccup with our previous reservation, the staff was and continues to be wonderful in assisting us. If the restaurant is even 1/2 as good as their Director of Events, Food & Bev is, we are in for a treat.

    The fish fry was not good. Two small pieces of fish and burnt. We were excited to go, but disappointed. Plus, they had a limited menu and that was not clear on their website.

    We had a 7:39 reso on Friday night. Upon entering, the room smelled like fish! Little did we know that only two options were available on Friday nights. Fish fry or grilled chicken. We were seated quickly but not told about our dining options for 15 minutes. The waitress was very kind. I selected chicken and my husband the fish. Approximately 10 minutes later, the waitress returned and told us there was no more fish so my husband could pick from the regular menu. My husband enjoyed a dinner salad while I waited fir my chicken. The chicken was delicious as were the coleslaw and homemade chips. The corn muffin would have been better if served warm. Why not bring these out to the tables warm in baskets before the meals arrive? As the room began to empty of diners, I noticed loud music blaring! The waitstaff should wait u til the patrons have left to turn up the volume. There did not seem to be a manager on duty!

    Food and service were very good. Noise level was a little high. We will definitely be back.

    We enjoyed the Friday fish fry with homemade chips. Nice touch that it’s all you can eat and we did have a second helping of the fish. Cute that it comes with a chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

    This was our second visit to Willow Hill Bar & Grill for the Friday evening fish fry - we were not disappointed. The service was wonderful & the fish was crispy & tasty, as well as generous portions. We are making this a regular stop & are looking forward to trying out items on the lunch menu.

    Our second visit did not fail. People have discovered this place! All-you-can eat Friday fish fry and BBQ chicken are the menu items now. New menu starts in November with REAL china, flatware and glasses. Don't overlook their pumpkin patch. From the highest point north of Howard Street, the view is worth it. Can't wait for a thunderstorm. Staff is cheerful, and masked for serving. Parking is easy, but watch the drive to the summit. Sunset is WOW!

    Went for all you can eat fish fry. Pieces of fish were really small and the waitress never came back to see if we wanted more fish…”was all you can eat” but we couldn’t ask for more.
