Hollyhock Hill has been a tradition in "family-style" dining since 1928, remaining as one of the few such restaurants of its type in the United States and the 2nd oldest restaurants in Indiana. While the unique family-style service offered at Hollyhock Hill is reminiscent of a time gone by - the detailed attention to customer satisfaction, menu item updates and consistent quality of the cuisine all lend themselves to the memorable dining experience you will take away from Hollyhock Hill. Consistently ranked among the top restaurants in the Midwest, Hollyhock Hill is famed for its superior "country-style" cuisine, high standards of service and unique ambiance - consistently creating highly remembered dining experiences. Perfect for large groups & for celebrating special occasions! While famous for Fried Chicken, recent additions to the menu include additional children's menu items, vegan and gluten-free options and the don't miss homemade Apple Pie!

As usual, the food was as delicious as when I was a kid. My parents and I got the fried chicken and my daughter had the Salmon. Everything was cooked perfectly. I would say that it’s a bit on the expensive side for fairly regular casual food. The sides are corn (probably frozen or canned), green beans cooked with bacon, mashed potatoes and gravy, lettuce with a tiny bit of cabbage and shredded carrots, cottage cheese and a small bowl of pickled beets. Outside of the exceptional fried chicken, pickled beets, famous salad dressing and homemade gravy, most everything is something you could pick up in a bag or get frozen at Kroger. I think that for something special it’s a great place to go not for the value of the food but for the experience. We’re not going for gourmet food. We are going to have a childhood experience of going to Grandma’s house again and eating her home-cooked dinner. The fried chicken and gravy at Grandma’s house was always the best and always made with love. We passed each other the dishes and everyone got to have the same dinner and enjoy it all at the same time. Life was slower and the food was simpler but the house was as always filled with good smells and beautiful old furniture. When I go to Hollyhock Hill I feel at home and well cared for. I always leave full of food and nostalgia and a promise to myself that I’ll come back soon.

Hollyhock Hill is under new ownership and the chicken was dry and seemed unseasoned. Not as good as in the past. The sides were really good and the service was excellent.

The food is fantastic, fresh, homemade, and plentiful. The restaurant has a lot of character and we’ve enjoyed many family gatherings here for over 40 years. I highly recommend it and will continue to return. If I lived closer I would undoubtedly do takeout as well- the food is that good.

My wife and I took our mothers to Hollyhock for Mother’s Day dinner. There were five of us in the party. Dinner was delicious as usual. The fried chicken is always on point and the sides are plentiful and tasty. For the holiday, there was a pre-fixe 3 course menu. My only negative comment is that it wasn’t a $300 dinner for five people in my opinion. No one in the party was drinking, but after tip, it was $60 a head.

The chicken did not taste as good as it has during the past decades. Don't know if the seasonings were different than previously or if there is another reason. I have always thought Hollyhock had the best chicken in town. However, last night was rather disappointing.

I have been eating at Hollyhock Hill for over 30 years, and in the beginning, it was unique and an event to celebrate very special events. My latest experience was not that special, the dress code has obviously slipped, and the food was mediocre. While I do not blame Hollyhock for my latest experience but moving forward, I will be supporting some other restaurant, for those special events I and my family wish to enjoy.

Was too loud. Should have a section for people that are not part of a party and would like to have a conversation with each other without having to hollar across the table. Chicken was over-cooked and dry. Filet steak was too rare in center. I asked for it med well with very little pink. Biscuits were cold, hard and dry. We just expected more for $85.00. Very disappointed.

$40.00 per person is too much for fried chicken. The food was good, but not over the top. Raising the price $10 per person for a holiday is ok if there is something very special about the meal. This was just the every day menu without the cottage cheese or the ice cream. In addition, my husband had to get up and request that someone wait on us after we had been seated for 15 minutes.

I don’t know of any restaurant, anywhere, that has better fried chicken than Hollyhock Hill! It’s perfect! And the generous portions and so many extras and sides - it’s just a perfect dining experience. The kindness and attentiveness of the host and wait staff were above and beyond, also. Clean, charismatic dining atmosphere as well. Perfect experience all around. 💖
