Million it was averaging 2.4 million customers annually for most of 80’s . The most important thing about the restaurant was how little the wait time was and the good prices for good value

Much like the Kowloon model, at Hilltop you handed the waitstaff your menu and barely dropped the white cloth on your lap...and a king cut prime rib was on the table
