Hillcrest Restaurant and Taphouse

Kingdom Graphix

Came for a business meeting here. First time. Food was amazing. Anthony our server was great at check on us periodically. We’ll be coming again soon. #kingdomgraphixx

Food was so good! Customer Service so excellent the waiter was so nice, the cook came out the back my kids were calling Gordon Ramsey Jr lol this was our first time I didn’t know this place was even back there. Definitely going back

I like coming to the tap house to visit Kat, she is my favorite bartender. She makes me feel like I’m heard. Everything she’s recommended me to eat has been absolutely delicious. Thanks Kat for being so great!!

Ash was awesome. He was very nice helpful and courteous! We will definitely be returning especially because of the service. Food was also fantastic.

Went to the Tap House today in Antioch right from the start, it was an amazing experience. Hats off to Ash, our server, whose attentiveness and contagious smile made the visit even better. Kevin, the bartender, also delivered exceptional service and made a fantastic drink. This place has a cool vibe, and the staff is truly incredible. There are plenty of restaurant choices out there, but what really sets a place apart is attentiveness. That’s the heart of great hospitality and these guys nailed it. As they say, “TIPS” stands for To Insure Prompt Service and Kevin and Ash rocked this category. Awesome job, both of you! The owners deserve credit, too, for hiring such attentive and genuinely friendly people.

Food was incredible! Everyone one loved what they ordered, Meatloaf, Chicken strips, Shrimp Cesar salad, Black and blue burger, French dip, Calamari and homemade cookie ice cream sandwich all fantastic. We were also very impressed with our service from our waiter Ash, he was very thorough and checked in on us just the right amount and made sure our drinks stayed full without being annoying and even asked if there was anything he could have done better at the end! My mom said only thing better were if he could clone himself and train all waitstaff to be as great! Will definitely be back!!

My son and I came in to celebrate! Our waiter, Ash was great! And the food was awesome. Especially the strawberry ice cream with raspberry sauce! Perfect!!! Thanks so much!

Me, my husband, and daughter come here for dinner because its right around the corner from our house and the food is good atmosphere is nice and the service is even better. This last time we had a wonderful server named Ash and he did an amazing job especially making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend if you would like to take your family to a nice place to eat.

Travis the bartender gave me a wonderful experience. My drinks were prompt and delicious. But the manager Dwayne was extremely rude, and the owner is so cheap he won’t even turn on the lights in half of the restaurant. If I didn’t know any better I would have assumed they were closed. The staff does great work; but the management leaves a lot to be desired.

Stopped by the new Antioch Taphouse for dinner with the family and our server Ash was one of the most attentive servers I have had to date. This young man was so respectful and sincere you would not believe he was one of the newer staff members. Our food was hot and delicious and the setting was perfect for a Friday family feast. Ash also sent above and beyond to ensure my daughter's dessert was per her specific liking. Definitely hope this new management works out better than the last so I can make this a new addition to our dinner lineup

This place is not what it used to be. It is much better now!!! Had dinner and it was delicious. We ordered the half slab Baby Back Ribs and a Rib Eye steak and they were awesome. They have a great choice of beers from the Tab, other alcoholic drinks and sodas. I would definitely recommend this place. We had a grwat time. The dessert was amazing (icecream and chocolate cake).

Came just after opening so my dad and I were the only people here shortly after 11am on a Thursday. The gentleman that served us was professional courteous and efficient. We each had one cocktail with our meals. The drinks were fine and priced at $12 each. I think all drinks are overpriced but this place is in line with similar restaurants. I had very high expectations for the food as I heard good things. Unfortunately, either due to what I ordered or the time of day I can only say that the food was okay. Having said that I never base my overall experience on only one visit. I plan on returning one or two more times to try other dishes and different times of day. This review is based solely on this one visit. Stay tuned for further.

Tried this place out on a Thursday night and got seated right away. Good menu with lots of food to choose from. Decided on the butter chicken and garlic naan for appetizers and it was really good 👍🏽 and for entree ribeye steak with garlic bread, veggies and mashed potatoes I enjoyed it a lot. The steak was a little over cooked but overall great taste. Customer service was awesome.

This is my 2nd time coming here and I'm very impressed. I've lived in Antioch for 3 years now and only just discovered this restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the vibes inside are nice. I wish I knew about them sooner!!!! Can't wait to share more meals with my family and friends here!

Went for a late lunch during football playoffs. Greeted right away and seated in the best spot to view the game. Ash, our server went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. From making menu recommendations to letting me alter my order and assuring I was pleased with the way it came out. Not to mention his awesome personality! We truly could not have asked for better service and will definately be returning because of it.

We came in after a high school football game. I chose this restaurant for it's reviews. Our server, Ash, was fun and engaging. Our food was very good, and huge portions for a reasonable price. We had the ribs (fall off the bones) with a great BBQ sauce, Mushroom/Swiss burger, Ceasar Salad. It has a sports bar feel, but was not overly so. Enjoyed out night out. Thanks Ash

The drink selection was good. The food was mid. I had the ribs and they did not fall off the bone like they should. Everything we ordered was 5/10. Service was excellent. Very good staff.

So I’ve been twice in the last week, for both Niners playoff games. My first time I was excited because there weren’t many people in there at the time, people slowly start to trickle in over the evening. Our service was OK, Our server was not fully attentive to us and we weren’t a big party and there wasn’t a lot of people around us. She kept forgetting our order, and brought us the wrong drinks. At one point, we didn’t see her for a while, Then they took everyone off the floor, so there were no servers or bartenders for a few minutes. She was nice. I just think they had her running around the whole restaurant because we saw her going to both sides helping people. I will say the male host be doing too much . Like talking about marijuana or whatever to customers is inappropriate. Low-key think he is off of something the way he was moving the last two times I was there. I overheard him a lot last night talking to a table that I presume he knows because he kept calling them The N-word, but none of them should be saying the N-word if you catch my drift. Our older lady server from last night. She also wasn’t very attentive. She didn’t come over and check on us as frequently as she should have. I also asked for napkins and didn’t get napkins for 20 minutes. I had to ask again for napkins. I also noticed that staff was moving tables to accommodate an incoming group that was bigger than 10. Then when they walked in and were all African-American, they were split up into groups, which I didn’t like and didn’t make sense because they had a table move just to make space for the big group. It felt a little racist as a black woman seeing that happen. Maybe everyone needs new server training because I had hope for the taphouse. I also ordered a brownie with ice cream and it was served to me melted. I’ll just post the photo on yelp since I can’t do it here.

This was very frustrating, I tried taking my mom out to lunch for her birthday. Since the pandemic I only eat outdoors now because buildings generally don't have proper air purification set up to remove viral material from the air and I'm immunocompromised. I CALLED IN ADVANCE to confirm they had patio seating and was reassured by the man on the phone that they did have a patio, but their heater was broken (lack of a heater is not a problem since jackets and warm fuzzy hats exist). When we arrived they refused to seat us outside. The woman at the bar simply told me "we don't do that," which was quite absurd since I could see the tables and chairs outside. This refusal of accommodations makes me sad because the food looks pretty good but their lack of service and flexibility is noted and I will never be back to give them another chance. We really tried to patronize their business, but sometimes restaurants simply don't want to care enough about accessibility to make sure everyone's welcome.
