I called ahead to make sure they were open, and from the moment he answered the phone, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. That great first impression carried through the entire visit. Vince was an outstanding bartender. His cocktails were perfectly balanced, he was attentive without hovering, and he genuinely seemed to care that everyone was having a great experience. He was happy to answer questions, made great recommendations, and created such a welcoming atmosphere. Savannah was great too. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. If I could, I'd start every morning here. Vince truly made my day, and that's not something you can say about many places. 10/10 experience. I can't wait to come back! read more

We used to come here pretty often, and even though we moved farther away and hadn't been in a while, we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat down as we normally do. While I was walking to the restroom, which is located past the kitchen area, I heard a server/bartender we've seen several times before ask the cook, in an obviously annoyed tone, if two people had just arrived. When he said yes, she responded, "Who the fuck!?" The cook then looked directly at me. At that point, I honestly felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave. We decided to stay since my boyfriend had already ordered a beer, but the experience immediately felt different. We felt like our presence was an inconvenience simply because we came in an hour before closing. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. We ordered the beef skewers and a burger. The skewers were okay, but they were not nearly as good as we remembered them being. The burger, however, arrived completely cold. What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed. read more

First of all, you cannot find this place unless you're a local because there is no sign outside! Keep searching it's worth it! Hubby and I had the beef skewers with hollandaise & rojo dipping sauce, amazing. The sauces have such deep flavor. Definitely time was spent developing the complex flavors. We split the Caesar salad, which has a ranch Chile dressing. For a non-spicy white girl, I totally enjoyed it:) We completed our dinner with the rellano platter with smoked turkey and beef. Once again, sauces were out of this world! The service was great as well:) When in Phoenix, definitely do Dicks Hideaway! read more

This place was AMAZING! I ordered the Carne Adovada platter and it was amazing. The pork was so tender it just fell apart, and the red chile sauce had the perfect amount of flavor and kick. It came with a super fluffy egg on top, beans, and warm tortilla. I also got a Prickly Pear Margarita, which tasted awesome and wasn't too sweet. The food came out super hot and the service was amazing. This place is definitely a hidden gem and I'm for sure coming back! read more

Dick's Hideaway is a total hidden gem. Feels like a secret spot but the food is amazing. So glad I found it -- definitely going back.

LOVE the food, atmosphere, and service. Everytime I come the food is consistently delicious! Their eggs benedict with red or green chili is phenomenal. HUGE portions that will undoubtedly leave you with leftovers. I always come for brunch, but I can't wait to come back and try their dinner options. Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots! read more

Many restaurants struggled during COVID and Dicks was one of them. Last night's HH visit showed us that they have returned to greatness. Our service was fantastic and the food was executed perfectly.

Lunchtime with my wife and daughter for the first time. We over ordered as we wanted to try a bunch of things. Our favorites were the Hatch Chili Burger, Onion Rings and the Queso Dip. The Bacon wrapped jalapeños were very spicy. We like spicy but this was too much. The food was great overall and we will be back....but the service was spotty. Let me say everyone was very nice but we had to be seated in the room without the bar and our drinks went dry and I had to hunt someone down. Had to hunt someone down again to pay the bill. It was busy when we first for there but not as busy when we left. Wish someone would have checked on us more. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! I've been coming for years and it is never disappointed me! I asked for a spicy margarita and it was on point. I hate when you ask for a spicy margarita and it's not spicy! Well, this spicy margarita tickled the back of my throat, which is what a spicy margarita is supposed to do! The food is always so flavorful and the atmosphere is cozy but dark. I love love love this place! read more

Came here for dinner expecting a casual hole-in-the-wall kind of spot, but it actually turned out to have quite a cozy, romantic vibe. The server warned us that the draft beer wasn't cold (which was a bit disappointing), so I went with a Cab Sav instead -- surprisingly good choice. The menu is huge, so it took a bit to decide. They also have daily specials -- we tried the fish tacos. The portions are massive, but don't expect to share unless you want to pay an extra $10 "sharing plate" fee, which feels pretty ridiculous. When the food came, it looked impressive, but it was mostly rice, beans, and tortillas -- not much actual meat. The server also pretty much disappeared after dropping the plates. I wanted some Tabasco, waited forever, and eventually just gave up. The atmosphere was nice, but the service and food didn't quite match up to the setting. read more

Wow. Portion was absolutely absurd. This would be an amazing post hike meal- it seemed a little pricey on the face but when I got it, I understood., 3 eggs, beans, shredded potatoes, pork adovada (pork stewed in a red chili sauce) and a tortilla. Overall I thought this dish was fantastic. Hearty, filling, you might not finish it unless you're a bottomless pit like myself, and the chili sauce was very tasty. Earthy spicy, complex, I only wish the dish brought a touch of acidity into it. Maybe you could get some lime wedges on the side. Aside from that, I didn't think the tortilla was additive, that's the only part of my plate I didn't finish. I had beans and potatoes, I didn't also need a tortilla. Overall it was pretty timely considering it was a full house, servers were attentive and polite. Very positive experience. If you have an appetite, I highly recommend it. Cool vibe, dark and definitely captures the speakeasy feel. read more

Need a break from the desert sun? The cool, dark, quiet environment is perfect to escape. The staff was outstanding proving great service and excellent recommendations. I recommend stopping in for an expresso martini or bartenders drink of choice. While the rice, beans, salsa, and hot sauce were incredible, the beef and pork was a bit overcooked and the lack of vegetables can make the meal dense and difficult. However I still recommend and look forward to trying other parts of their menu in the future. read more

We really love this place and have been coming here for years. This visit we arrived around 5 pm Saturday night ready to enjoy a quiet evening in the back at Dick's. We ordered our drinks and bacon wrapped jalapeños and we were good. Then a child comes in with parents asking about the child's menu ( $72 tomahawk) and is that real haha wink wink. They're speaking very loudly like they're the only people there and then romper room arrived: Car seat, blankets, baby, child and 4 or 5 adults who clearly thought they were the only ones in the place. Rude behavior and extremely disruptive but the manager and server were very apologetic. They bought us a round of drinks but I'm thinking Richardson's/R is a better bet if you want a break from the kids. This wasn't the experience we come here for. read more

Food was excellent. Service was good. Decor is Southwest inspired. We were there for my birthday.

The name fits the restaurant as it's a small bar/restaurant that maybe fits 25 people comfortably, dark, and, has that this odor that either smell unpleasant or mixed with cleaning products. The food was okay, very basic with nothing much to rave about besides big portion. Santa Fe chicken-3.5/5- chicken was overcooked, dried, and just topped with cheese, mushrooms, and a few other things. Stuffed Chimayo chicken- 3.5/5- the chicken breast was missing seasoning, just relying on the stuffed ingredients to add flavor The Caesar salad was the best part of the meal read more

Probably not going back to Dick's... We were visiting both Phoenix and Scottsdale with friends and decided to meet up at Dick's Hideaway for dinner after hearing good things. There were six of us, and we were quoted a 45-minute wait, which seemed reasonable at first. However, their system for managing waits is honestly pretty frustrating. There are no reservations, no text notifications, and no call when your table is ready. You're basically left hovering and guessing. We did make it back in time for our table, but a simple "hey, your table's ready" system would go a long way in making guests feel valued. We were seated around 8 PM after waiting and taken to a large corner booth in the back. Unfortunately, there were still two people from the previous party lingering at the table even after they had paid and the rest of their group had already left. I understand finishing drinks, but it felt inconsiderate given how busy the restaurant was and how long people were waiting. After being seated, it took about 15 minutes before anyone came to our table, and even then, not everyone in our group was acknowledged right away. Things didn't improve much from there. It took over 30 minutes just to place our food order. From what we could tell, there was only one server handling the entire restaurant. I can definitely empathize with how difficult that must be, but at the same time, when we first arrived, she appeared to be standing near the entrance rather than actively managing tables, which added to the confusion. When the food finally came out, it was very staggered instead of arriving together. I ordered the Taos tenderloin with green beans and fries. The sides were actually great--probably the highlight of the meal--but the steak itself was disappointing. I ordered it medium, but it came out with an overly charred, almost burnt crust that completely overpowered the flavor. The whole dish really needed basic seasoning like salt and pepper to bring it together. The atmosphere also didn't do much to help the experience. It's extremely dark inside--so much so that it's hard to see your food--and the space feels cramped. The layout is also pretty strange and honestly a bit off-putting. There's what appears to be a kitchen area right behind the bar, and then a full kitchen in the back--but what really stood out was the lack of separation near the restroom area. There's no proper door between the kitchen and the bathroom space, and from a small step down off the dining area, you can basically see straight into the kitchen if you wanted to. It just didn't feel very private or well thought out. Another thing that stood out was the portion sizes. While some people might see that as a positive, they were honestly too large--especially for those of us traveling who couldn't take leftovers with us. Slightly smaller portions might not only reduce waste but also help the kitchen keep up with demand and improve overall service speed. Overall, this ended up being more of a one-time experience than a place we'd return to. Between the disorganized wait system, slow and inconsistent service, and underwhelming food, it just didn't live up to the expectations we had going in. read more

Super interesting vibe that was very unexpected! It's settled into a strip mall and when you open the door it's a dark but inviting spot with bar seats, tables and a room with more tables off the bar! The menu has a ton of great choices with lots of New Mexico vibes and flavors. I had the burrito with chicken and 1/2 red and 1/2 green chili sauce on top. The portions are HUGE. The burrito took up the entire plate but was nestled on top of rice and beans. Super smoky, grilled flavors and a huge portion to take home. Friend had the eggs Benedict which was also huge and very tasty! They also have a number of taps and a full bar for cocktails. read more

Dick's Hideaway has been on my list to try for a long time and it did not disappoint. It's dimly lit, small speakeasy. An upscale dive. The cocktails were not what I was expecting - we ordered prickly pear margaritas and they came in the normal plastic water glasses which was larger and less esthetic than I expected, they were tasty though. For an appetizer we ordered the queso which was really good! There are large chunks of onions and green chilis that I wished were a little more finely cut up. For our meals, we ordered the New Mexico Enchiladas and Carne Adovada. Both were sooo good! I would definitely come back and try other things on the menu! read more

I've driven past this place at least a dozen times without realizing it was there. The lack of obvious signage almost feels intentional, and once you step inside, it has this cozy, low-lit atmosphere that makes you forget you're in the middle of Phoenix. The carne adovada had incredible flavor, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly without being overbearing. Definitely one of those places you end up recommending to everyone after your first visit. read more

I visited Dick's Hideaway for a late-ish lunch on a weekday. Like everyone says, it's difficult to find. Fortunately, I did my research prior and knew to look for Luci's. There's a few parking spots right up front and more behind the building. I arrived late, and my friend was already seated. The space is small but cozy. Starving, we ordered right away. Our server was very helpful and guided us through the menu. I went with the New Mexico Enchiladas--two shrimp and one veggie--served with rice and beans, and I chose both red and green sauce. The food arrived quickly and piping hot. The enchiladas were delicious! Maybe it was my hunger, but they really hit the spot. While the veggie enchilada was good, the shrimp ones were even better, and I'd definitely order them again. My friend loved her dish too. Service was fast and friendly. I'm excited to go back! read more

I wanted to like it- I was amped to try it- but the reality of our experience fell very short of our hopeful expectations- Visiting the area for vacation, I discovered Dick's Hideaway, via a foodie suggestion on where to find xmas chili dishes! We arrived Tuesday late afternoon, specifically for the brunch menu. We were seated in the back room, which was dimly lit, seemingly for ambiance, but was way far to dim- we had to use our phone flashlights to really look at the menu- Our waiter asked about drinks, but coming post hike we really just wanted waters- waters were brought quickly, but the we didn't see our waiter again for 15mins- no water refill, no food order, just waiting in the dark-(i noticed because I was charging my phone & checking charge levels occasionally) Also, while waiting to order, it was a bit disturbing to realize our seats were next to the only bathroom, which was also located through the kitchen- my husband joked, "I feel like that has to offend some code" Once we finally ordered, I opted for the Chili Relleno & my husband the Richard's combo- while ordering I attempted to ask the waiter about the xmas chili & jalapeno hashbrowns over plain, but he was too quick to leave- though we noticed our order took awhile to get anywhere because as it was hand written, our waiter stopped in the hallway to talk to another staff member & was there for about 7mins- Eventually the food came, well my husband's did- the waiter brought his PIPING HOT METAL PLATE out, put it in front of my husband, with no warning 'hot plate', & my husband had to find out the hard way But my food never came- after the other long waits, I decided to glance at the time, 3:44pm- my husband sat there politely waiting for my food to come- I kept telling him eat while it's hot, but 14minutes later my plate came out- different looking design, no warning, I also found out it was a very piping hot plate- I had asked for chili relleno- one duck & asked what the waiter suggested pork or smoked turkey- he said pork- and then discovered apparently the waiter was so pro-pork that both of my rellenos were stuffed with pork- the relleno itself was awful; I'd say 80% breading, tiny pepper, barely any meat or cheese inside- hashbrowns & beans were scalding hot- I ended up taking them to go because with the plate they were on they weren't cooling down & we had already been there a long time- Hubby's expensive platter didn't match the description; jalapeno benedict, 2 chicken enchiladas, asparagus- he was served chicken in flour tortilla & ham on English muffin (no jalapeno)- Excited for the xmas chili- we both got just green & had to ask for a side of red, that came cold- didn't blend well- Everything overall, for the higher price points were very underwhelming in flavor boldness- needed salt, needed zest, had no profile- Would highly NOT recommend- And at this point, yes you're correct to guess getting boxes & paying took quite a while as well- read more

Been there a lot, great service and food. Not noisy but very friendly so makes you want to go back.

The food was absolutely delicious--authentic Mexican dishes made with real ingredients and bold flavors. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were huge. We all left full, with plenty of leftovers to take home. The fresh-squeezed orange and grapefruit juices were a standout--bright, refreshing, and clearly just-pressed (just please, dump the plastic straws..) Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and relaxed. The vibe of the place is intimate and cozy, with warm lighting, dark wood tones, and a kind of secret, tucked-away feel (just like the name suggests). It's got a moody, upscale cantina atmosphere that makes you want to linger over your food and drinks. Bonus: lots of free parking in the lot, which made the whole visit easy and stress-free. read more

Really bad service like their sister restaurant Richardsons. I had already written off Richardsons because of the bad service, and now Dick's Hideaway is done too. I don't know if the owner/management is unaware or if they are the ones setting the example for the employees. Whatever the case may be, my time and patronage are valuable and prefer not to waste either. Food is okay. read more

Okay, one of my favorite restaurants in the country. Austin at the bar is always the best!! I'm sad the SW sirloin steak wasn't on the specials menu tonight. It should be on the permanent menu! The strangest part of the night was the new manager Bill. I had a seat near the door and I felt like he was breathing over my shoulder all night. Myself and some other patrons felt he was a poor addition to the normal feel of the restaurant. He was almost hyper, sweaty and almost aggressive when he moved around the place. Just not a good addition to the place. read more
