We've been coming to this restaurant for decades. Today we celebrated a birthday with our grandchildren and while there have been changes made, the service was excellent from our waiter, Bryson. Also we know what we're getting with this restaurant: quality food, plenty of it and all made with care. The kids love the variety and the homey atmosphere makes for a cozy meal. We are still loving the fried chicken, and will enjoy leftovers tomorrow!

Hollyhock Hill is true gem! You cannot beat their fried chicken or chicken fingers. The service was very good. We had 6 people in our group and never had to ask for drink refills or anything else. Most of the meal choices include salad, rolls, apple butter, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, and ice cream sundae. I do recommend you get a reservation, as it is very popular.

The food was good and our server was excellent. However, we were seated in a back room without any other diners. The room was so cold that I had to wear my coat. I realize that this is a holiday time, but we were celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary, and it wasn’t very joyous. I did make reservations several days ahead of time.

It was fun to share a quintessential Hoosier holiday family-style supper with two out-of-town work colleagues!

As always the food was so yummy. There was a large party in the room with us and they were extremely loud. It made it very hard to have a conversation

Family of 7 from out-of-town enjoyed a wonderful meal at Hollyhock - started off with glasses of wine & Old Fashion, then delicious entrees of their famous fried chicken, salmon, chicken tenders and beef filet. All the sides were great - mashed potatoes/gravy, green beans, corn, salad/pickled beets and of course the biscuits. Guests were surprised at the vanilla ice cream dessert with toppings. Our server, Bryce, the friendly and at all times professional. All in all an excellent evening out.
