Pulled Pork Benedict at Hills Restaurant & Lounge in Kennewick – December 28, 2025

I wrapped up a late birthday dinner and the next morning met a friend for breakfast. We wanted something relaxed where we could catch up, so Hills Restaurant & Lounge in Kennewick made perfect sense. It felt like an easy, low-pressure spot to keep the celebration going and compare notes from the night before.

What I Ordered

  • Main entrée: Pulled Pork Benedict (we both got it)
  • Side entrée: Pancake

We sat at the bar, which was a good choice since the place was busy and at capacity. The service was on point and kept things moving without making us feel rushed. There’s something nice about sitting at the bar for breakfast — you get a front-row view of the kitchen rhythm and a steady stream of coffee refills.

The Experience

The room was full, but the noise level stayed manageable. It had a lived-in, local spot energy that matched what we were looking for that morning. The servers and bartenders handled the crowd well, and we never felt overlooked despite the steady flow of people coming and going.

What Stood Out

  • The pulled pork benedict: The flavors are amazing and unlike any other benedict you’ll find in the Tri-Cities. The hollandaise had a bright, buttery tang that combined with the smoky pulled pork in a way that kept each bite interesting. The English muffin held up without turning mushy, so texture stayed on point throughout the plate.
  • The pancake: Fluffy and warm, a good counterpoint to the richer benedict. It’s simple, but it balanced the meal and made it feel like a proper breakfast.

The pulled pork adds a savory, slightly sweet layer that changes the whole benedict profile. It’s not trying to mimic a classic hollandaise-and-eggs setup; instead it leans into contrast — rich sauce, tender pork, and bright egg yolk breaking across everything. It definitely hit the spot after a night of celebrating.

Final Thoughts

Would I get it again? In a heartbeat. If you’re in Kennewick and looking for a breakfast that’s a little different but still comforting, Hills’ pulled pork benedict is worth trying. Sitting at the bar made it feel like part of the experience, and the service kept things moving even when the place was full.
