Hempen Hill in the old Antrim House spot Fountainhead. We give it 2 thumbs up. Nice people, great food, good drinks, cool bar area. Sweet potato fries....yum.

I go there all the time, its definitely one of the best spots in town.

My favotite meal there? An order of the crab waffle fries and some smoked wings. YUUUMMMMM

I've eaten there twice and both times the food was just so-so. (However, I did choose the vegetarian options. Maybe the meat is better. Although meat-eating hubby thought food was so-so, too.)

However, service was excellent both times, and the overall atmosphere was nice.

This actually sounds gross but I had them at the beach last year and they were good there. Yum.

How are the prices? This might be a place for us to check out.

We've got a whole topic devoted to this place:

edit: ok, after reviewing that.. not much substance in that topic.

Hempen Hill in the old Antrim House spot at the Fountainhead center_________

Good food, good beverages, good service and marketing. Fair prices. I like it. Even with other stores coming and going from the center (Martins soon will), Hempen Hill will do great. It found a niche.

Great place - atmosphere, food, music & decent prices. They have great smoked mac & chees, bar-b-que & sweet potatoe fries... Yum!
