Overall the food and experience was excellent. We did, however, miss the traditional servings of cottage cheese and especially the vanilla ice cream with the trio toppings. The chocolate cake was a little heavy after the meal. Also, iced tea & lemonade should be included in the price of the meal.

Always consistently great food and very efficient and friendly service. Don't skip the Mac and Cheese.

excellent food and service! the back room was extremely cold with the air conditioner blowing throughout our visit. It made the. experience less than enjoyable. I would recommend the restaurant but recommend sitting in their front dining room.
Ken
Excellent food as usual. Service was good as well. They may have priced themselves out, however, for our future visits. They have cut back on items that used to be served as part of the main meal, and increased the price by 30%. It is chicken, not a filet! Krogers fried chicken is pretty good, and a fraction of the price.
Kelly
Perfect "Sunday dinner." Great fried chicken with all the sides, including just enough dessert - ice cream & your choice of 3 toppings. Excellent value, pleasant and efficient service.

First time to Hollyhock and it was a great experience! Service was great and the food was delicious.

First time here. I absolutely enjoyed myself. I had the fried chicken dinner. The food was fresh and delicious, and the green beans were perfectly seasoned. They have a whole experience planned for you regardless of what you order. I 10/10 recommend.

Food is very good and traditional if that is your preference. There is nothing fancy, just good food and outstanding service. My only quibble is the price. $33 for two thighs and a drumstick with all the sides. Side portions are HUGE and about 1/3 never gets eaten, making for style without substance.
Atmosphere gets dinged because the service area is broken up into smaller rooms. We had a large party with small children seated near us and the noise was overwhelming. No one was being out of hand, small children just lack volume control. In the smallish room the sound reverberated and created an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere. We were almost done with our meal, it was only a minor inconvenience.

Having been a customer of Hollyhock Hill for over 30 years, I can easily say that the current ownership has turned it into the worst restaurant in Indianapolis. You can get better food, more of it and better service at Wheeler Mission or the worst Churches Chicken in the city. We will never, ever return.

we were here on friday night, our server was amazing, unfortunately i cannot recall his name.. but he did a great job & was very attentive….im writing this review because, we stopped to ask another employee a question & she was completely awful to us & was acting like we were inconveniencing her… she even went to go get our server & we could hear her talking about us as she walked away. so disappointing.
Overpriced food for no apparent reason. Put everyone's bills together as one bill, then we had to calculate our invidual bills and pay the one person who had to pay the original entire bill. We had no option to tip, it was already taken out? I don't even think this is legal, especially if you are calling it a tip? I wont be back

Ate here on Thanksgiving with entire family. Food was typical Thanksgiving meal. They could have used a few more on staff to move things along quicker and attend to our group but they did a good job for what they were working with. Atmosphere quaint but echoed lots so it was difficult to heat others. Would like to try again on a normal day.

Serving the same thing to everyone (pre fixed turkey dinner; no other choices), but our server was really slow. There was not that many people either. Waited a long time for silverware and menus. Bad for the kids. They wanted chicken tenders and ice cream, but their advertisement never mentioned that there was only one menu that day. There was no ordering from the main menu. The kids didn't want pumpkin pie or turkey. The server brought us 5 rolls, and there were 6 of us. I let everyone else at the table have the rolls and thought I'd wait for our server to come back. He never showed, so we asked another server. She brought us back a basket with 10 rolls. That should have been served the first time. The taste of the food was good. We came in from out of town, and this sounded like a nice, cozy restaurant. We wouldn't go back.
Kid-friendliness: Not at all kid friendly. I don't know too many 4, 7, and 9 year olds that like pumpkin pie. We were told they would have ice cream the following day. Really?

Food was just okay. Nothing spectacular. Biggest issue was how overpriced it was . My dinner consisted of a very average salad (only 2 options for salad dressing), one large chicken breast with green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes with one scoop of ice cream and it was over $52.00. Service was great and nice ambience, but I'll never go back because of high price/limited value.
