Hillside Hangout

A burger I would eat again for sure. The Frankenstein burger had the perfect balance of flavor. The bun was soft and flavorful as well. It has a little kick with the jalapeño. The smash burger was cooked perfectly with a little bit of crunch.

Great burgers, and the fries were fresh and hot—though we wished there was a few more fries. Service during a weekday lunch was quick and friendly. The garlic cheese curds are a must-try and were easily the standout item of our meal.

We made our first visit to Hillside Hangout Friday and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is very laid back with live music inside, plenty of seating, and plenty of shade and picnic benches outside. There are a few pieces of playground equipment for kids and plenty of grass area to run and play. They have plenty of draft/craft beer choices to enjoy if that's your thing. For food, we had the pretzel appetizer and it was a hit! Not a crumb was left. For meals, everyone had burgers with me having the Moose burger and my wife having the Whiskey Jam burger. Both were very fresh and very good, but we would give a slight nod to the Moose burger. We all had fries as our side that everyone enjoyed. The only downfall for us was the volume of the live music inside. Due to the space and having the music right in our ear, we elected to sit outside. Even being above 90 degrees it was still pleasant in the shade. Overall, this restaurant is excellent, we highly recommend, and can't wait to come back!

This place is not far from my house, we drive by it all the time, and have always wanted to stop. Time is usually not on our side as a few times we have tried to go, they were closed and in the case on Sunday's the close at 4. I am a simple man, and when it came time to decide what to do for Father's Day, I only had one request, and that was to make the time to eat at Hillside Hangout. Parking was easy, and the decor is not much different that any other bar or restaurant. They have a stage for singers and bands (this is Nashville after all), lots of seating. Full Bar and plenty of seating outside as well. It was too hot, so it was inside for us all the way. The counter was walk-up, you place your order, get a number and grab a seat. We were met at the counter by Jess, she was super friendly and welcomed us. I immediately ordered the special, it was at the Dr. Frankenstein Burger. Smash patties, with crispy onions and jalapeños, cheese and maybe a sauce of some sort. My wife ordered a breakfast quesadilla. We also ordered a libation called the Pink Pony Club. It was good. a bit refreshing especially with the sangria in it. Very good. The burger was AMAZING. I was in the mood for a burger for Father's Day and this hit the spot. Cooked to perfection, the bun was really soft, because it was a smashburger it did not leave me stuffed beyond belief, and the option for the side salad instead of fries was certainly a good decision. Great vibes at this place, just a chill hangout. It was a great first visit and would certainly be back. If you never get a chance to make a 1st impression they hit this one out of the park. Jess, thanks for a wonderful 1st visit.

This place is absolutely fantastic! And the bartender Niki was a absolute pleasure. One of the best bartenders I have ever interacted with. This place is a must if you are in Mount Juliet and are looking for a great experience and service. The food is top notch, and love the outdoor space for the kids to around and play. If you are in the area this is the spot to definitely check out!

My husband and I enjoyed hillside hangout. It's a great place if you want to enjoy music, eat good food, and let the little ones play. I got the Sami chicken sandwich and my husband got the moose burger. I like how the backyard is fenced in with playground equipment and picnic tables.

Very nice family friendly bar and restaurant. The building gives me the vibe of a church fellowship hall but with beer. Good beer on tap too, a nice mix of local and imports. Right now they have Einstok love that! There is a very large fenced in area outside with some play places for kids. The interior has some picnic benches a few seats at the bar and some TVs. Overall a great spot for groups, or families with younger kids. Our bartender was super nice and employees checked on us outside as well. We really enjoyed just hanging out and chatting with everyone. One thing I would make note of: the entrance off Lebanon Rd is STEEP. If you have a car that sits a little low be very careful, you will scrape or possibly even bottom out. Nothing that can't be handled by taking it at an angle but judging by all the gouges in the asphalt plenty of people have messed up here.

Checked out Hillside Hangout recently! We tried the famous Moose Burger (no moose harmed, just beef! ) and a Philly. The burgers were good, though not quite life-changing, and the Philly was tasty but could’ve used a bit more sauce. The Verdict: Still doesn't beat Red Headed Stranger, but a solid local hang! The Apps: We started with the cheese curds. A bit of a head-scratcher—they came topped with cold banana peppers and the ranch didn't quite have that homemade vibe. The Vibe: We caught the tail end of some live music, which was a bummer to miss! But the real winner here is the huge outdoor area. With warmer weather coming, it’s a total game-changer for letting the kids run wild while you eat. #HillsideHangout #NashvilleEats #FamilyFriendly #BurgerReview #NashvilleFoodies #RedHeadedStranger
