The Hilltop Steakhouse<\/strong> was a steak house restaurant located along U.S. Route 1<\/a> in Saugus, Massachusetts. It was opened in 1961 by Frank Giuffrida and was one of the busiest restaurants in the United States from the 1970s to the 1990s. The restaurant closed in 2013 and was subsequently demolished. The only remnant of Hilltop Steakhouse is its iconic cactus signs, which can never be demolished due to its status as a historic landmark. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
