Hill East Burger makes one of the best burgers I have ever had. The smash burgers are flavorful and fresh. The curly fries are nearly perfect as a French fry. The service is friendly. The restaurant is small, but a fun place to eat.

Went with my three year old and I Have to say the folks here are the most kind and thoughtful staff. Food came quick and was delicious. Also they have a family hour where kids meals are half off. Would highly recommend.

Stopped in here after a long, hot day of walking around. Burgers were fantastic, varied beer selection, drinks were excellent. Get the curly-ish fries - unique with a perfect fry consistency. No other notes, go get it.
