Hillcrest Brewing Company brunch tips


  • Remember that brunch runs until 2:00pm: whether you're recovering from Friday night or kicking off Sunday Funday, you’ve got until 2:00pm to enjoy their full brunch menu—just don’t cut it too close because the kitchen wraps promptly.

  • Try the breakfast pizzas like the Morning Meat: loaded with sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese, their brunch pizzas taste like a breakfast burrito in pizza form and are consistently a fan favorite.

  • Grab a seat on the patio and bring your dog: HBC has a dog-friendly patio that’s shaded and casual, perfect for soaking up the morning sun with your pup and a cold beer.

  • The bloody beer with spicy bacon is a must: instead of a Bloody Mary, try their bloody beer with house brew and a crispy strip of bacon inside—it’s spicy, salty, and totally unique.

  • Friendly staff and flirty service keep it fun: from witty servers to cheeky menu names, the staff brings the sass and charm that keeps people coming back for the laid-back atmosphere.

  • You can bring outside food from the Hillcrest Farmers' Market: it’s one of the rare spots where you can order a drink and enjoy your own food from the market next door, especially if you just want a snack with your brew.

  • Parking is easiest near the DMV on Normal Street: there’s a small private lot and some street parking nearby, but locals know that parking by the DMV is more reliable during peak brunch hour.

  • Try a flight to sample their cheeky brews: with names like "Crotch Rocket" and "Perle Necklace," the beers are playful but also well-crafted. Order a flight if you want to laugh and sip your way through brunch.

Hillcrest Brewing Company Brunchspotter review

VANESSA A.

CONTRIBUTOR

Brunch at Hillcrest Brewing Company lands somewhere between neighborhood hangout and post-Hillcrest Farmers' Market ritual. It’s casual, playful, and built around a menu that doesn’t overextend itself. The focus here is on comfort, and the format sticks: pizzas, calzones, and a lineup of brunch cocktails that favor spritz and spice over anything too serious. The Morning Meat pizza is a local favorite, built on a base of white sauce, cheese, and enough jalapeño bacon and sausage to anchor your morning. The Queen Eggs & Ham is a gentler take, though still indulgent, with a soft egg finish and a reliable crisp crust. For something more filling, the Huevos Carnitas Calzone folds in queso fresco and onion with a generous hand. On the drinks side, the Aperol spritzes and bloody beers are crowd-pleasers, but the Call Me Maria!—a smoky tequila-based Mary—offers more edge. Portions are fair, prices stay in check, and the outdoor patio offers front-row seats to the Sunday morning energy spilling over from the market. HBC doesn’t try to outshine the other brunch players in the neighborhood. It knows its audience and serves it well. It’s unpretentious, familiar, and just loud enough to keep things interesting. Come with friends, bring your appetite, and don’t overthink it.
