HILL TOP EARNS PRAISE IN TEXAS HIGHWAYS. Even though it is in an inconspicuous location 10 miles west outside Fredericksgurg on U.S. Highway 87, Brenda and Johnny Nicholas' Hill Top Cafe has found its way into the limelight again -- this time warranting mention on the October 2008 edition of Texas Highways Magazine. Author Dick Holland's column "Top Tables - Noteworthy Culinary Journeys" lauds Hill Top Cafe as a "first-class seafood restaurant that also features Louisiana and Greek cooking and some of the most authentic blues music you'll ever hear." The Five-page color spread is accompanied by photos depicting Nicholas at his keyboard and delves into the history of the passion for cooking shared by Niicholas and his wife, Brenda Schlaudt.

"The menu is an appealing mix of Greek specialties (reflecting Johnny's heritage), Cajun items ( nodding to wife Brenda's Port Arthur, Texas, upbringing), and good old Texas country cooking. Although the varied menu might seem overambitious, Hill Top has a handle on it all."

"Everything from burgers to Cajun and Greek specialties is always good and often very fine indeed... My only gripe is that the place is so popular on weekend evenings you have to make reservations several days in advance-but that seems a small price to pay to visit a legend."
