Hill's Tavern & Grill — Restaurant in Glocester

Hill's is a nice little spot, pretty good cocktails with live music, and a ton to do outside during the nicer months. I prefer when it's a bit colder and the huge fire pit outside is going. Great to hang out there with friends and listen to the music from inside. While the bands that I have heard there are good, the space makes it hard for them to be anything but super loud. So, if you are inside, and anywhere near the music, which is where you are if you aren't at the bar, don't expect to be able to have a conversation!

While I can't speak to the quality of all the food when I went with some friends the burgers, which are hand formed looked good, and the pizza one of us got, which again is hand formed, looked really good as well.

What I can speak to is the wings! I've had them here a few times and I'll continue to go back for them! They are not fried, but cooked in an air fryer, so a bit healthier while still having a a nice bit of crispness, while being nice and moist. I've had the buffalo and the dry rub, buffalo was a really solid sauce with a bit of building heat that I think most people would enjoy. I would like a bit more heat, but it's not a game breaker by any means. The dry rub on the other hand was lacking a bit to me, a bit bland, but some may like that though. I prefer them more on the spicy side. Each time I have had them they have been great, and did I mention they are huge? These are whole wings, not the usual drumette and flat where each of those is counted as a wing, no these are giant whole wings, The biggest I have seen anywhere locally! The first time I ordered them I got a dozen and ate 4! We finished them the next day during football, threw them in the air fryer for a bit and... perfect!

If you're in the area definitely worth checking out, grabs some great wings, a...

I was excited to try this place because my sister in law raved about it. The only reason I'm giving it a 2 star is because the food was great, otherwise, it would be a 1 star. There was a volleyball tournament happening. Cool. Fine. Great. No problem. But it took almost 20 mins for the bartender to basically acknowledge that we actually wanted drinks and food. She was not very nice about it either. I understand that you are busy and the only bartender on staff also running did outside, but at least set our expectations on wait time. We walked in at 1:10pm, ordered at 1:30pm, and at 2:15pm I asked for our food to go since we had paid our bill but also had somewhere to be at 3pm. Food came out at 2:45pm and it was missing a sandwich. There were three food orders total and one was missing. We asked for a refund since we needed to get going since we had somewhere to be and the bartender huffed and puffed in frustration. Sorry that your kitchen missed an order. Not even apology or anything from her. We were polite the whole time, waited very patiently and I even complimented the bartender on her nails. Very disappointed. But the food was killer. I had a Funky Chicken pizza and probably one of the best I have had in a while. Just wished the service was better or at least they managed our expectations better. I hate writing bad reviews, I'm not known for it if you look at my history, but this one I had to because of such poor service. Will try again next time we are in town and will review again and hopefully will have a...

I usually really like this place.. this visit, not so much.

Bartender was good. Beer was cold. Food, well it took almost 30 minutes after we ordered to be told that they made our pizza wrong.

Second attempt, the food was good but we were there for almost 1hr 15 before the food came out.

So, I very nicely tell the owner (actually, his dad i believe) that i was disappointed in the hour plus wait. He proceeds to tell me that the ingredients shifted on the 1st pizza, instead of just admitting it was a mistake like the bartender did. So I didn't call him out, but I caught the lie. So to not be confrontational, I said, I understand but 45 minutes for the 2nd pizza is a bit much... he then told me that it takes a long time for the ovens to heat up... well, the oven just cooked another pizza, so it should have been warm already!

I appreciate small business, and I understand things happen. I had already paid my bill and was on my way out the door. Why lie? I was simply trying to tell you what happened to make you aware so you could prevent it from happening again. A simple, I'm sorry would have been perfect!

So I have been here several times, and usually enjoy it.. but this time it was subpar at best!

Edit: round II, and shocking... there was a bone in my steak and cheese, and apparently "dogs" appreciate them....
