Hillview Restaurant 6135 Transit Road, Depew, NY 14043

"The food here is fantastic! I got the gyro souvlaki and it was so tender and flavorful. Our waitress was outstanding... always filling out water. My girlfriend got the chicken soulvaki and raved about hers. I'm a soulvaki connoisseur... HIGHLY suggest this place. Portions are great. Took half home!!"

"My wife & I come here maybe once every couple months. Always a relaxing comfortable atmosphere. The food is homestyle cooking at its best. Full menu great for seniors and they even offer a children's menu as well. Nice selection of desserts, pies, cakes etc. Servers are always polite and just attentive enough not to be annoying and interuptive. We've eaten breakfast here as well. Great place to dine and unwind. Good coffee too!"

"The food tasted okay, but it didn't sit well. The facility is maintained very poorly, is dirty, and seating is in disrepair. Service was unremarkable. The pictures say it all. The paper menu was stained with food. The salt and pepper shakers had food debris on them. The ceiling tiles were coated with gray fuzz from air movement. The plate was cracked. I ordered Swiss cheese in my omelet and it came with cheddar. I ordered tomatoe slices instead of both home fries and toast.....they upcharged me $2, which I feel is exorbitant. The owner cashed me out and was a ray of sunshine. I really wanted this to be a decent experience as I was looking for a new breakfast place, this was not it. I will not plan to return. This was so close to being a 1 star review.....and probably should be."

"Stopped on our way through the area, looking for a local gem. The Hillview was a nice option. Service was great. Our waitress was very kind and caring. We were seated in a side dining room. Nice space for a separate event. The meal was excellent. Beef roast very moist and tasty. Grilled vegetables done to perfection. Had chocolate pie for dessert. Was not too sweet. Nice topper to the meal. Also ordered a side of cream of mushroom soup. It was good but a little heavy on the pepper for our liking. Not horrible though. Mashed potatoes were instant which is always a disappointment…although they weren’t bad. They had a dessert case that was tempting and lots of variety. We orders the chocolate pie and rice pudding. Pie was great. Rice pudding portion wasn’t worth $5. More like $3 and that’s being generous."

"We had a great dinner. Waitress was so very nicest and was so thoughtful about the sun being in our eyes and asking if we wanted to close the shade on the other side of the restaurant. I had the pork chops which were a bit dry. I wish they served applesauce but otherwise all the food was great! Guest had the fried chicken which was hot, delicious, and crispy. The sides were cooked well, not overcooked and beans and broccoli were still crisp. Mashed potatoes were great as well. Overall a great place. I had previously eaten at the Gardenview which apparently is related to this restaurant but they have completely different menus. We will definitely be back to both. Nice to have a local restaurant like this as so many are struggling. My only complaint was the booths need work. Both of us sunk uncomfortably into our seats which had seen better days and were taped over in multiple spots. It was not appealing and legitimately made the meal uncomfortable. Unpictured, I had a 'white strawberry cake' which was great and came very appetizingly plated with fresh cream and was delicious! Will definitely be back"
