    We went here with and on a recommendation of a friend. She told us the food was great and strictly fried foods, though neither of which seemed quite accurate to me. The view and seating are wonderful. You are sitting outside yet still under cover in case of rain. Service seemed a bit slow, so is not a place to go on your lunch break, but we are all retired and quite willing to sit through the wait and chat while enjoying the view. I only mention it in case speed is important for you. The others all had fish while I opted for a sausage sandwich. It was fine, though I can make one on the grill a bit more to my liking. The fries were not hot and a bit thinner than I like them. They had salt and pepper on them, which tasted fine to me but might not be to everyone's precise taste. The sandwiches and entrees come with a small portion of Cole slaw, which was also fine. Our friend said she takes out of state friends there because it seems to fit their image of Florida, even including the possibility of a gator sighting. We lived here for around ten years so that doesn't quite describe us, but we were glad to spend our lunch with her there.

    Chicken sandwich, excellent!

    Awesome food! Service was pretty good as well. My suggestion would be : if you were there for the music, do not sit so close. Everything was wonderful!

    What a lovely spot! We rode as a group to this spot and felt very welcome as bikers, which isn't always the case. Our server Cynthia was friendly, funny and eager to please. We had the peel and eat shrimp with Cajun seasoning.. it was good, but seemed to lack flavor. We also tried some hush puppies which were ok. The location is so beautiful surrounded by big cypress trees with Spanish oak draping down and the sound of the lake lapping against the docks. There are lots of picnic tables whether under the trees or on the patio, so plenty of seating. There is a bar in the outside corner with a little bit of additional seating and an indoor bar as well. The singer performing while we visited was Rob Nichols who did an amazing job. Bring your dancing shoes as well. Boats can pull up and tie off on one of two decks that reach out into the water. This place is unique and worth the visit.

    First off: the good stuff. What a wonderful location. It's right on the water. The views are fantastic, including a baby alligator. Our server was efficient and the food was tasty, except my wife reports her pulled pork sandwich was dry. I liked my grouper sandwich but I am spoiled. After eating Frenchy's in Dunedin for years, this just didn't match up. I'm also finding, food at a restaurant is getting mighty expensive. It's costly to eat out. I guess I'm expecting the quality to go up too. Alas, nope.

    I have returned to the Hideaway many times since my last review and have enjoyed every visit. The music is excellent...drinks are made well and the staff is awesome. Food is ok...it comes out of the kitchen hot and the prices are reasonable.

    I was visiting a friend and she took me here for lunch. We ended up staying for 4 hours The atmosphere, food, service and music were really great! Food... we both had a burger and fries. I would recommend the sweet potato fries... o m g ! The vibe... the entire place just seemed like one big family, like everyone knew each other, it was awesome! The service ... our waitress was very attentive to anything we needed and extremely friendly

    They come by boat, bike and even car for the live music, great atmosphere, good food and real people. The menu is local bar food including fried shrimp or gator, burgers and wings. This popular bar is a good time waiting for you. Bring your friends and make some new ones.

We stopped around 11:45am and it just opened not long before, so it was quiet with few people there. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. We were seated immediately and had a table by the windows overlooking the lake. What a great spot on a sunny day! My dad ordered the Reuben sandwich, but asked for no sauerkraut, he loves a good Corned Beef sandwich. It was done really well and he loved it. He had the homemade chips as well which complimented the meal perfectly. I had their special, a Mahi strip basket. It came with a generous amount of Mahi Mahi and fries. It was super tasty. If I were coming through the city of Howey in the Hills, FL, again, I'd stop here for sure for another meal. They had a decent selection of apps, entrees and sandwiches/burgers, it would be the same thing. They also have an outdoor patio I'd love to try on a hot spring/summer eve. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd tell you go here and try it out!

All food orders were served timely, so everyone could eat together. Some enjoyed the bar menu and all enjoyed the food. I had the Fish Fry, which was great fried fish without the heavy, greasy coating. Fish was great. Corn fritters were a good compliment and well cooked. Others with me enjoyed the beef stroganoff, shrimp and grits, shrimp po boy and meatloaf meal. I would recommend improving on the po boy, as the toppings were a bit slim for the bread. My husband and daughter said it was good, but that was my observation (see photo below). No other suggestions for the food, and we all agreed we would go back as this was a great place. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating for a large party. Side note-a menu suggestion if you add items at any time would be adding an amazing fish sandwich.

It's a cute little spot with classic car photos all over the walls and that old-school 50's diner vibe that just feels right for a morning meal. Our server was Katie, friendly and efficient. My wife and I both ordered the 2-2-2 -- two eggs cooked to order, two meats, and two pancakes. She went with scrambled eggs and bacon, I chose over-easy eggs and sausage patties. She mentioned the bacon was a little on the salty side, but I really enjoyed my sausage patties -- good flavor and cooked just right. The pancakes were the star of the show. Light, fluffy, and huge -- like small hubcaps taking over the plate. The only thing that would've made them better would be whipped butter and warm syrup. That little extra touch would have taken them over the top. Portion sizes were generous for sure, but the price caught me off guard. We both drank water and our total came to $31 for breakfast. As a former chef, I know breakfast is one of the most cost-effective meals to produce -- it's usually the best money-maker for restaurants. While the portions were solid and the food was good, the price point gives me pause. I'd come back for the hearty portions and those fluffy pancakes, but the pricing might make me think twice. 4 stars -- had to deduct one for value.
