Only two negative comments, the first was one person in my party wanted to order the steak for his entree but was told it was no longer offered. If something isn't offered it should be taken off of the menu. The same thing happened when my wife saw the picture of the Apple pie on the menu and wanted to order a piece for dessert, again she was told that it was seasonal and unavailable. You would think that July would be seasonal for Apple pie!! Other than that the food was plentiful and very good and the service was great, my glass was never empty.

Everyone at our birthday celebration had good food and very good service. We noticed the building and grounds were somewhat dated and lacking in “the finer touches of maintenance “. The place could use a little work. The fried chicken was excellent and the salmon was perfect. We enjoyed the traditional beets, salad dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. Beans and corn sides were good as well. Nice touch on the ice cream with three possible toppings. HH is an Indianapolis tradition. I'd like to see the facility upgraded to reflect its rightful place in the group of respected and loved restaurants.

We Came to Remember — and Left Feeling Cared For
We recently gathered to celebrate the life of our beloved aunt — a woman who lived fully and loved deeply. It was a time for family, stories, and laughter over a shared meal. We hoped for a meaningful evening, and Hollyhock Hill delivered far beyond our expectations.
From the moment we sat down, the team made us feel like honored guests. Tracy, Victoria, Abby, Bryce, and Nikki didn’t just serve us — they cared for us. Every detail was handled with such warmth and grace that we could simply focus on being together.
The service was flawless. The food? Absolutely delicious. And as someone with a gluten allergy in the family, we were thrilled to discover that nearly the entire menu (aside from the breaded chicken, biscuits, and gravy) was safe for my wife to enjoy — no awkward questions or substitutions needed.
If you’re looking for comfort food done right, with service that makes you feel like family, Hollyhock Hill is exactly where you want to be.

Very loud with everyone talking and music playing, but not sure what could be done about that.

Worst service my guests and I have experienced in a very long time. Remembered Hollyhock Hill as a special place with excellent food. The food and support staff were excellent, but our server was rude and condescending. I've never had a bill “thrown at the table.” No eye contact, and we felt her scorn. We usually go to Root&Bone, and we will continue this because I can't get that terrible service out of my mind. I was embarrassed to share the experience with my guests from out of town.

The food came in generous proportions and family style and everyone of our seven adults enjoyed what we all had ordered especially the pickled beets, which were sweet and tasty. The fried chicken was exquisite. The service was warm and friendly and attentive, and eager to please. Our waiter was wonderful. The atmosphere was just what we needed for our little group to enjoy each other here each other and have a wonderful time together. Thank you so much for this classic restaurant in Indianapolis !

For a special occasion HH is a great option. It has changed over the years a bit but still great at a good value overall. They are known for their fried chicken for a reason. Service was top notch. My beautiful wife & I highly recommend it!
Hollyhock Hill is a wonderful experience! The warm family atmosphere is so inviting. Our server (Tracy) was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it for families!

Our server was wonderful. His name was Tracy and he was very attentive and entertaining and we quite enjoyed our time out. The food was good. You order your entree and then the sides are served family style. We had tons of leftovers.

Absolutely amazing and beautiful environment. Excellent and friendly staff. The food was perfect, tasty and so refreshing since most restaurants just hum drum their menus. The chief/ cooks take pride in their creations, performance and presentation. Thank you all!!

The staff were very busy as there were only 2 servers for the restaurant. Several mistakes were made, however I understood as the servers were doing the best they could. They acknowledged the mistakes and compensated us 1 meal, unsolicited. I did appreciate the kind gesture. I believed this was us being nice and understanding the situation. You always get more with sugar than spice.

Service and food were excellent as usual. There was only our party if 3 and another party of about 15 next to us. Their noise, while completely fine for them, was totally too loud for us to even talk to one another. There was no one else in the restaurant. We could have easily been seated away from them and had a much better experience.
