Easy to miss, but once you've been here, you'll have no trouble remembering. Go. It's good! Plan to hang out a little because it's a genuinely relaxed atmosphere that you shouldn't rush. I've been here a few times, alone and with a group. Midday and early evening. Same experience. Same good food. The pasta specials do the trick if indecisive. Great staff. Clean. Owner is involved and seems to care. Check it out. It's tucked away, but you'll see it. read more

Hadn't been here in a while. The service was good, food so so. Had the brisket Reuben, it was over cooked and tough. Our check was not accurate, server did not offer to correct it. read more

I have visited JP's hideout on several occasions to hear some of my favorite local musicians play. They have a large parking lot. While they don't have a cover charge, it seems that the prices go up after the band starts playing. I've enjoyed several different dishes and they've all been quite good. I tend to like the fish tacos the best. They have a full bar and some fun cocktails as well. The atmosphere is very casual and they support local music. read more

Updates review from 2023, happy to report that as of 3/11/26 this business is still going strong and better than ever. It's nice to see that it's made a comeback in spite of the Plandemic. They have a nice patio, full bar, trivia , live music and good food. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked as ordered and seasoned well with plenty of cheese and bacon with hot crispy fries . The Monte Cristo sandwich was delicious , lightly breasted and crispy fried sandwich with hot fries. read more

I'd been seeing their pot pie special pop up on Facebook as weather was getting colder, finally stopped in to try it and was not disappointed. Good flaky crust, big hunks or real chicken (do wish this was cut up a bit more) and nice filling. Hit the spot on a chilly winter night. It does take 25 min to cook after ordering so just be aware if you are in a hurry. Also tied the ravioli as appetizer, they were good but marinara sauce had a weird sweetness to it. Service was good and prices reasonable for portions received. It does get pretty loud once it starts filling up. read more

Tonight was our first time in. We were pleasantly surprised by the clean, bright and lively bar that was family friendly! For a Thursday they were busy but had enough help to keep up with the crowd. Our food was served quickly, hot and delish! Large portions and reasonable prices! We will return! read more

Food is tasty and service is great. Prices seem kind of high. Special was gumbo which was great until the bill came. $27 bucks for a bowl is over the top. My fault for not asking the price but really how much would you think a bowl would cost? Other than that I've been there a number of times and will double check the price more closely next time. read more

If my wife was posting this it would surely be a star higher because she loved the Monte Cristo while my fish was actually tough because it was overcooked. That being said I'll try another item on the menu but definitely not the fish and chips. The wait was exceptionally long considering how few people were in the restaurant, the waitress was friendly enough. It's definitely bar food to me which can be hit or miss and while it was a miss for me I'll try it again, considering it's a bar it's pretty nice inside. read more

What a restaurant should be. A short menu with everything done right. They have that and great specials most days.

Cool bar and grill with soccer paraphernalia. Horse races and hockey on the tv's. They were super busy with a large, holiday party going and service was still attentive and friendly. I ordered off the cocktail menu, a black cherry cottleville coolie. It tasted like an Italian soda, with a little kick. All 3 of us ordered the smothered chicken with blackened chicken that came with mashed potatoes and gravy, and grilled veggies. I believe the gravy to be cornstarch thickened rather than flour, for the gluten intolerant. I ate the gravy bc i didn't know to request without - no ill effects so far iykyk. I got a carryout double mushroom burger for my son at home. no complaints. read more

Food and bar service was great and they were about the only place staffed during a big snow storm.

Great food menu options and unbelievably great food for what feels like a cool neighborhood bar and grill!

Inviting service, very fun atmosphere and tasty food done the right way. We will be back soon!

I went on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, sat at the bar and had Lindy and she was awesome. I went back the next day for happy hour. I was never acknowledged until someone finally asked me what I wanted, almost 10 minutes. I ordered the espresso martini. Which she brought promptly. Not a bartender in sight until I was patiently waiting to close my tab, at least five minutes. I had one espresso martini, and my bill was $17.49. Are we freaking in Miami? The service was terrible and the drink was so strong it was not enjoyable. If I return, Lindy will be working. read more

JP's Hideout - Meatloaf special of the day - American Near Me - Cottleville, Missouri

My wife and I stumbled across this place for lunch. What a great surprise! We had the giant pretzel and got the double smash burger and Cobb salad. We could have split one of the meals, because they were huge! The pretzel was fresh and delicious. Clearly home made and not frozen. The cheese dip and honey mustard went great with it. The interior is typical bar decor, lots of lights and signs. TVs spread around showing different events, but the volume was low enough to have a normal conversation. Servers were all friendly and nice. Made some good recommendations and helped us figure out the menu. We loved our lunch, and are sad that it's so far from home. But if you get a chance to stop in, do it! read more

I've been to JP's Hideout twice. The first was for dinner, when I tried the fish tacos. I wasn't a super big fan of the slaw and didn't find them to have much flavor. However, I went for brunch and had the shrimp and grits, and they blew me away! I find their food to be fairly priced for the portion and quality. I've had mixed service there--but nothing truly terrible. Overall, very good quality food for a pretty casual sports bar! read more

First time at JPs! We got dinner and it was great. They were super busy so our food took awhile. Toasted ravs are good, burger was alright seemed like it was sitting out for a bit. Chicken tenders were SO GOOD! Definitely the best thing we got. Ambiance was very much a pub/bar with lots of TVs - great for watching Sunday football, etc. read more

Very good burger & fries, just happened to stop in while in the area. Would definitely stop again

"I've enjoyed trying local places, but during my recent visit I declined a dish I didn't care for. The waitress handled it professionally, and I asked the waitress not to tell the chef, but the chef/owner came to my table afterward, asked why I didn't like it, and responded with 'Don't order it next time' in a hostile tone before walking away. I wanted to share this because the experience made me uncomfortable, and angry. I hope future feedback can be handled in a friendlier way, especially when the food tasted horrible. It was so full of spinach. It was ridiculous. That's all you could taste and the mushrooms made it mushy and chewy. I love lasagna and it looked beautiful when it came out, but once I cut into it and tasted It, I had trouble swallowing it. read more

Cute bar! Stopped in on a Friday night before a basketball game- Beer was cold, fries were good, chicken strips were good. Nothing EXTRAordinary, but above the middle. I never have a reason to visit Cottleville, but I'm glad we popped in. casual, clean, and cute. not much more you could ask for, Our server was BUSY, and I believe, also bartending, so it wasn't top notch service, but its okay, we were still served in a timely manner. read more

Met a few people here for dinner, and I was amazed at how good the food tasted. The prices are a bit higher than expected but what isn't nowadays. Parking wasn't an issue as the other businesses we closed when we came. Our server was nice, but her service was a little slow. The patio was nice, and it's a really cool place. We'd return if we are in the area again. read more

Our first time eating here and the food was amazing! Some of the best fish & chips I've ever had. We also had great service.

Always has great food and service! They have the best burger in St Charles! Everyone should try it!

12-15 of us came here for book club yesterday. I appreciate that we could make a reservation in advance and they had plenty of room. The service was fine, but several people protested the prices and quality were not up to par. I asked about happy hour specials and was told wine was $1.00 off per glass...but since there were no prices posted (and none on the website that I can find), I have no idea if I got the right price or not. My friend and I ordered from the same little card and hers was definitely less expensive. Another woman noted that her drink was $2 cheaper next door at Lulu's. Another few noted that the margarita tasted nothing like a margarita. And while my meatballs smelled delicious, the taste and consistency were not good. This was an expensive and sub-par experience and we decided not to go back. I will say I've heard great things about the live music, though. read more

The food and service is always Good! We go there about 2 a month. They have a big parking lot and a big restraint we have never had to wait on a table read more

Nice bar in Cottleville. I heard they have good smash burgers so I went on a Sunday evening. My dinner date and I both ordered smash burgers. I got a double with pepper jack and fries. The food was great. Not the thinnest burger ever but perfectly smashed and crisp. I liked the French fries. They have a nice batter and seasoning. Good meat to bun ratio. The service was friendly. Not the fastest but it was Sunday and we weren't in a hurry. If I have one complaint it's that they don't wipe down the ketchup bottles. It's one of my pet peeves! I'm sure I'll be back here for the burgers and a few other things on the menu! read more

Found this hidden gem on Yelp and boy am I thankful I did! We stopped in last night with a group of 5 later in the evening around 8. One of the gentlemen that worked there gave us an ETA on seating and was so so kind. He came by and gave us an update every 5 minutes or so based on which tables were almost done. We got in and got a table further away from the live music (which was excellent, but very loud at the tables next to the performer) so we could make conversation without screaming. Our waitress was wonderful and the drinks we ordered were made well. We ordered the pretzel, toasted ravioli, and wings and they all came out quickly and we're delicious. They were all so good! For entrees most of us for the Monte Cristo and fries- simply because Monte Cristo's are hard to come by. Boy am I glad I ordered it because WOW- not only is the portion absolutely enormous; they knocked it out of the park on the flavor. You can't really tell from the pictures- but each monte cristo Fourth is about the size of your hand. I have been known to eat more than 99% of women and I couldn't finish the entire thing (my kind of portion!) The preserves/compote that comes with the Monte cristo is fresh and flavorful. It was the star of the show. The breading on the sandwich was crispy and gave a funnel cake-esque flavor with the powdered sugar- but was not overly greasy or overly sweet. A perfect balance. It is certainly rich- but so are all Monte Cristo's, hence why I opted for it! One of my friends got the twisted Reuben and another got the grilled chicken sandwich and both loved their dishes. Fries were also some of the best I have had at a restaurant. Between the excellent service, prices, portions, and flavors- I will likely be a regular here. Thrilled we gave it a try! read more

This is one PRIMETIME neighborhood pub n grill. Food was great, service is second to none and place looks great inside. My JP double smash burger was so big n delish it was starting to fall apart and i could not eat all of it. But, it was good and the fries were perfectly hot and tasty. Place has a TON of TVs and seemed like some live band was setting up on a SAT night. Wife got a single smash burger and it seemed to be a great size burger. Overall, place is a gem and worth checking out. read more

Just a great neighborhood eatery. Delicious burgers, wings, etc. Staff is always friendly and service is fairly quick. The bar in the middle sets a great vibe, even if you aren't drinking.

My wife and neighbors decided to give JP's Hideout a try for a Friday dinner. We had been here before, for drinks, but hadn't tried their food. It is a nice neighborhood bar with a lot of televisions, so that I could keep up with the March Madness basketball games. We arrived at 6:00 pm and it was very crowded. We put our name of the list for a table but within 5 minutes, there was a corner spot at the bar opened up and that was good for the 4 of us. Even though we were at the bar, because it was on the corner we were able to have a good conversation. The bartender was busy and did a good job of getting us our drinks and refilling them or getting us another round when we were ready for them. They have a nice variety of beers, with some of them being from the smaller St. Louis Breweries. We ordered a large pretzel for the appetizer. It was hot, soft on the inside with cheese and mustard dipping sauces. It was very good. Three of us ordered the Fish and Chips, since we are in Lent, and a Chop salad with fried chicken. We all really enjoyed our food!! The portion sizes were huge and the taste of everything was really good. The only minor negative item was that it was pretty loud overall. We all agreed that they exceeded our expectations. We will put this on our list of go to restaurants for the future. I highly recommend that you give them a try!! read more

Awesome food, decent atmosphere, friendly staff! Visited JP's on a Tuesday night for a girls catch up session. One of the ladies is engaged to the kitchen manager and wanted us to meet him and sample the food, all of which is made in house from scratch. I'm so glad we did! We munched on the enormous Bavarian pretzel with an incredible cheese sauce and some great mustard. Next we shared the chicken in a waffle cone which was fantastic with the house made bbq sauce for dipping. Enjoyed Blue Moon on draft and water that was refilled quickly. The only downside was that just after we ordered a woman began setting up a loudspeaker and preparing to host music bingo. It was pretty loud so we moved out to the patio, which was very pleasant. If you find yourself in Cottleville, stop by and prepare to be delighted by your meal! read more

Tried the prime rib weekend special for $29. I requested med rare, it was basically medium. I know prime rib is a little fatty, but this piece was at least 40% fat. It was a thick cut, but the high % of fat ruined it, as far as I was concerned. The baked potato and side salad were excellent. My wife had the smothered chicken which she enjoyed. Her only problem was the price of her crown on the rocks, which was $3 more than Hobo's. read more

If you're looking for a bar in the area to watch a game this is the place. Popped in one night just to grab something to eat and it was a pretty good place. The space is a decent size with a big bar area and lots of bar tops. They have a lot of TVs so if you are wanting to watch sports this place is going to have them on. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The waitresses were constantly moving around seeing if we needed anything and that was nice! The menu had a decent variety of items. It had mostly appetizers and sandwiches. It had a few salad options that you could make into a wrap and a few entrees. My mom got the meatball appetizer and it was a good size. The meatballs were very good. I got the JP's double smash burger and that was very good. It was a pretty big burger even though it was smash burgers. Overall good experience and will keep this place in mind for sports games! read more
