Hillside

There’s no sign outside and you can’t tell it’s open but it is! And it gets packed with locals! We had the fried chicken platter that comes with 2 sides. The chicken skin was crisp and I’d recommend it! You get 4 pieces for about $ 10! Such a great deal!
Yuenglings are $ 3 or $ 9 if you buy a 6 pack to go :) we obviously bought the six pack and we’re now enjoying it in the hotel!
Cash only.

Charmin in the bathroom? no… martini glasses? no… but the best pan fried chicken ever! I actually took my ‘supper club’ to dinner here (who btw are a bunch of foodies) and they loved it. It’s a once in a while treat to eat great fried chicken…

Perfect «hole in the wall» kind of place that you wont find unless someone takes you there; cheap beer, fried chicken was awesome, and tab was unbelievable low. I did have to wash our clothes the second we got home… the fried chicken smell goes home with you.

As advertised. What a funky place with great food. If you love cole slaw… um yum… Good service even though it did take some time for our dinners but that was ok. The chicken was worth the wait.

The Hillside Inn is a roadhouse that looks more like a salvage yard than restaurant, but if you’re in the mood for pan-​fried chicken and beer, this is the place to go. Locals have been patronizing this place for decades, which is good, because they don’t advertise at all. Heck, they don’t even trim the vines off their weather-​beaten sign. In fact, you’ll only discover this place if someone takes you there, forces you out of the car, and at gunpoint, makes you go inside. Otherwise, you’d never find it, let alone try it.
They have beer in bottles and cans, no drafts, thank you. And if you’re impatient, don’t order the chicken. Nothing’s cooked ahead, so it takes a little time to prepare, about 2 or 3 beers worth, I’d say. Back in the kitchen, they cook up 8 servings of chicken at a time in a big cast iron skillet. And when your meal arrives, you get a platter full of hot, crispy, oh-​so-​bad-​for-​you fried chicken — half a chicken — with two sides for just $ 9.95.
This is the kind of place that Anthony Bourdain might like, but Guy Fieri would love.
