Hilltop Burgers and Fries

Summit's own Hilltop Burger is my new favorite place for a big, juicy, flame-broiled burger. Each specialty is named after one of Summit's schools and is made to order. There is also a "build your own" option as well. Everything is also available as a chicken sandwich. My favorite is the "Washington Burger" which is just simply bun, meat, bacon and cheese and it is absolutely spectacular. Throw in some of their tasty showstring fries and its an incredible meal. The only downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side. A single burger (which isn't very big) fries and a soda put you over $10. Not terrible but certainly would be an expensive everyday lunch.

Finally Summit NJ has a burger joint all its own with a real home town look an feel. The owners are veterans in the restaurant business and it shows. Great classic burgers and fries of the likes of shake shack. The place is small, don't let that stop you from trying the food..  For a place with burger and fry in their name they sure offer a wide selection of other items: wings, salads, ice cream and baked goods. The burgers can be made to order but they offer several nice variations. The buns are fresh and the meat and toppings are good quality. The fries come in several types as well, I like the classic thin style. The fries were always hot, crispy and delicious. My father in law had the hot dogs back in August and said they were good.

Just recently I tried their 5.99 daily buffet. I had the fried chicken with a generous side of dirty rice and Mac and cheese that was satisfying and flavorful. The fried chicken was tender and juicy the skin crispy and seasoned right.. Not many places or any to get good fried chicken around here, and I get a taste for it every once in a while. I also tried the empanadas, ham and cheese, beef and sausage: crispy and delicious! The roasted chicken and pulled pork looked good, but I will have to try those next time. Soup just started to show up on the specials board  and it is that time of year as the chill approaches.
I will be updating my review as I try new items! Stay tuned!
