    We celebrated our 50th anniversary there where we had our rehearsal dinner 50 years ago. It was just as wonderful as it was 50 years ago!

    We drove 100 miles to have a delicious family style dinner. Top of the line and tasty food like no other restaurant. I was so happy we had a male waiter and he was new, but top of the line.

    The prices don't reflect the experience now ,$32 a head for fried chicken is just extortionate and I have to say it doesn't reflect the quality as standards have lapsed,chicken was dry and warm not what I expected from a noon reservation, $32 for 9 pieces of shrimp,you have to pay extra for top ups now ,my coke was diluted from sitting in ice in a jug .. .no crudites,no tomato juice,no fall soup , salad portions are meagre,...it's just not what it once was ,even the linen tablecloths have been removed...sad all these changes have happened under new ownership! Truly sad

    We had family here from out of town and they wanted to experience Hollyhock Hill as they remembered from years ago. We miss the old prestine linens and special treatment from years ago. Our server was very slow to serve our table many times. The noise level was horrible. We couldn't carry a conversation. It was sad.

    The food selections are reminiscent of my Hoosier Grandmother's cooking of many years ago. Very nostalgic! Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Corn, excellent Biscuits & apple butter. Love the history, old fashioned setting and decor. Good place for families. But, be aware that it is very noisy! Sometimes hard to hear your dinner partners when conversing due to babies crying, kids yelling and running around. I was sad that they didn't have Butterscotch for the Ice Cream as advertised. I had been looking forward to that little bit of nostalgia. Waiter was attentive and friendly.
