Hills Country Kitchen — Restaurant in Yucaipa

My husband and I were on our way up to go Apple Picking over a weekend and decided to try this place after reading about it somewhere. It quickly became our favorite Sunday brunch place ever since and that was tough to beat given we have been regulars at another location closer to home for years. At first we were unsure about what we wanted to order but 1 of the Jamie's there was really awesome about helping us find the right thing, even made it so that my husband fell in love with their coffee, which is a hard thing to do as most places never offer an "in between" when it comes to too strong or too weak of a coffee. So we were pleasantly surprised at this brand "Farmer Brother's" which we started to order from their distributor directly because of this place. The service was top notch, the food was in it's entirely home made which made it that much more enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable when you take the portions into account.

On the downside, I am definitely not a fan of the home fries they offer though, lol. In addition to that, their biscuits and gravy would benefit if they added some meat into the gravy as it's how I guess I got used to after having lived in the South. Lastly, I am dissapointed that they do not provide a changing table for a child's diaper needs, which is something I do hope they remedy soon.

Overall, we will continue to drop in on the...

The service was TERRIBLE. We arrived at 11:00 where there were mtiple open tables and booths, as well as the bar seating fully open. We weren't greeted, and waited two hours for food. No one came to give us refills, we had to ask. They mischarged us, kept telling us it would be out soon, and forgot food that was ordered and the check was VERY incorrect, and once told we would get a discount, the total was more the second time. The male waiter was nice, but the female woman was utterly rude, disrespectful, and spoke poorly and with an attitude to my husband when he calmly asked about the issues on the check. We were charged for complete wrong food, and she proceeded to have the other waiter come and handle the food, not saying another word upon our protest to correct. Utterly ridiculous, avoid this place if you can, the rude attitude was AWFUL. We understood they were understaffed, we were kind, just inquiring about the wrong check, and she gave HORRIBLE attitude. Just, don't do this unless you have...

If you're not looking, you can definitely miss this amazing place. Once you find this place you'll discover an unpretentious down home country diner. When you enter you're greeted by a very friendly woman. The food here is mostly American Comfort food with some house specialties.

I ordered a Patty Melt, my Aunt and Mom ordered a Vegetable Omelette and Sausage Patties. The Sausage Patties were nicely browned, juicy and delicious. The Vegetable Omelette was perfectly executed with fresh ingredients, and the Hash Browns were browned up crisp. The Patty Melt rye bread was expertly grilled as were the onions. The cheese was melty, and the burger patty was meaty. This was one of the best Patty Melts that I've ever had. Plus, the shoestring fries were wonderfully crispy bites of potato.

Hills Country Kitchen is a Country Diner serving real honest to goodness Comfort Food, run by a charming woman. Everyone that EATS should drop in at least once. Then you'll...
