Great and diverse menu. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Always worth the wait. Usually about 20 minutes but enjoy the time with your friends or family. read more

We decided to drive about 40 minutes to try this location instead of our usual spot, and we're so glad we did! The service was amazing, welcoming environment and everyone was genuinely kind, and the food was delicious. My husband loved the fried chicken eggs Benedict--huge, flavorful pieces of chicken and a very filling portion. I had the fried chicken and waffles, and I loved the sweet and spicy syrup! The chicken had a very very thick batter, which isn't normally my preference at all, but it was still good and definitely filling. One piece was almost the same size as the waffle! Of course, we had to indulge in the bottomless mimosas, and they did not disappoint!!! Great flavors, a generous amount of champagne, and they kept them coming. Definitely worth the money!!! I'll absolutely be back to this location. Great food, great service, and bottomless mimosas--what more could I ask for? read more

The Hangout - Fried chicken and waffle , however, this is just one of the sizes of the chicken they gave you - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Delicious brunch! The only downside is the wait for a table, and that it's a bit crowded inside. I LOVE their Ube Pancakes! I'm particular about Ube and these pancakes had the right amount of Ube flavor + Ube sauce. I also got a side of scrambled eggs and bacon, which were satisfying. I ended up taking half of the pancakes home. It was a 35 minute wait for two of us to be seated around noon on a Sunday, and after that wait we were offered bar seating and not a table. But the bar area felt less crowded than the dining room, so it worked out okay. Service was quick and efficient. They got my drink order wrong but later realized and let me keep the mistake iced tea as well as the lemonade I ordered. read more

Met some friends that live nearby at the hangout for brunch on Sunday. The menu was fun and interesting and I had a very hard time deciding what to order. I got the chicken pops and my partner got the Benedict Florentine and we ordered a side of fries and everything was really well-made and delicious. For a drink, I had the Thai espresso. They have some really fun twists and plays off of Thai food. Staff was incredibly friendly and very accommodating read more

Early on a Saturday and we were surprised it was relatively quiet. Had the garlic noodles with shrimp and BEC. The noodles were solid, as usual. The BEC was on ciabatta bread, but this time it was the end pieces, which ended up being better - less butter made for a better breakfast sandwich. read more

Remember to pick up some noodles! We've visited this place a few times now, mainly for brunch, and it always feels like a special treat. They offer a lovely variety of coffees, juices, alcoholic beverages, and exciting Hawaiian/Filipino American fusion dishes that are worth trying. Since there's usually a long line, arriving early is a good idea. That way, you can hold onto your pager and explore the nearby plaza while you wait. Some of our favorite dishes are the fluffy pancakes, the delicious chicken and waffles, and the satisfying hangover plate. Can't wait for you to experience it! read more

Busy breakfast spot located in a shopping plaza and absolutely worth the wait! The indoor space is lively and tables turn over quickly. The staff is super friendly and highly attentive. I love the menu diversity and the amazing lattes. Something for everyone. We saw lots of ube pancakes, chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict, and garlic noodles being served. Everything was extremely tasty. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

We went in on a Monday late morning, and it was actually pretty busy. Maybe it is because summer break has started for a lot of people, so people are out and about. We decide to sit at the bar area to sit on the stools instead of taking up a table. We ordered the crispy chicken eggs Benedict and choco banana pancakes. Let me tell you, the portions are large.. so make sure you bring an appetite. We ended up sharing our plates and I think we both agreed that we loved the crispy chicken eggs Benedict most- but they were both really delicious. The chicken was crispy. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The crispy potatoes, even though at first I was a little disappointed there was no hashbrowns, I am so glad! Those potatoes are amazing! The pancakes were pretty delicious as well, but I think the toppings and the caramelized banana bananas on the side were the best part. We also tried two different drinks. A Matcha latte as well as a 'butterfly pea latte'- which I believe was a lavender latte maybe? They were both very beautiful and delicious. The only downside to our experience here was that because it was pretty busy, our service was not as fast as we would like. So we had to ask for a couple of things, after getting the server's attention. Other than that, we had an amazing experience. We will be back to try more things on the menu soon! read more

I was hanging with my friends and they wanted to grab some brunch. They suggested trying this places so we gave it a go. The wait can be pretty long. It took us about 30 min before we were seated and we arrived around 1200. We just hung out in the parking lot until our name was called. The menu is pretty straightforward and of course, any brunch place I have to try their eggs Benedict. My usual go to is the Eggs Florentine (I prefer going the meatless options when it comes to my Benny) but the crispy chicken looked visually delicious. Crispy Chicken Benedict: This was as salivating as pictured. The chicken was super crispy, despite being underneath the Hollandaise sauce. Oh, and the sauce itself was perfect. It was their spicier version, so it had a bit of a kick after the second wave. The rest of the Benny is what I expect, the English muffins baked correctly and the eggs poached perfectly. The potatoes were crispy and not too oily as well. Overall, I had a great time at this restaurant. A bit small but it holds its charm. I can see myself coming back here again. read more

Came here on a Friday right before noon and it was packed. We got seated at the bar. Got a California burger and chicken & waffle. Both were quite big portion. Chicken was piping hot and very crispy. Burger was decent. Loved the fries. When we left at 12:35, there were less people inside! So maybe people like to do brunch on fridays? Overall, the dishes here seem bigger than the one in Walnut Creek but I didn't order the same dishes so I can't compare . And they didn't raise price in 2 yrs so it's good. I would come back if in the area. read more

My wife and I decided to go and have brunch yesterday because we were both off (This is rare..lol). We decided on this spot because we love their food and the bottomless mimosas..yummy. We checked on via Waitlist app on their ipad (You can check in online as well prior to coming). It said the wait would be 6 to 16 mins long. We waited less than 5. We sat at the bar, which is towards the back of the restaurant. We did not mind though because we usually get a table. Our waitress was June and she was super nice. She obtained our orders not too long after we sat. She also kept the mimosas flowing (You get 60 mins to enjoy). She was very personable and kept is smiling and laughing the entire time. We also met Jay who briefly serviced us, but talked with me throughout our time there. He was super nice too. Our food arrived hot and exactly how we ordered it. Everything tasted so good. I ordered a California Burger and my wife ordered a omlette, ciabatta bread and potatoes. We were both very satisfied. Lol..I had to take gimme half of my burger and fries tho because I got full. This spot is cool. read more

Don't sit outside. Soooo many wasps/yellow jackets. They set a three stack of bus tubs on a cart literally 7 feet out the front door. Not only does it look TERRIBLE, but it attracts soooo many wasps that started coming over to our food when it arrived and my wife could not eat (which she wasn't happy with any way). She ordered over medium eggs and they came out over easy. The potatoes were bland also. The reason they get three stars is because their service was excellent. And the Heavenly Bistro was really tasty yesterday and I highly recommend that instead. Or better yet, go to the Model Bakery and try their phenomenal English muffin!!! read more

One of our local fav brunch spots. We first discovered this Thai fusion brunch a few summers back in my in laws neighborhood in Pleasant Hill, and now they've expanded to a second location in Walnut Creek! We love all their pancake options, especially the ube pancakes - not too sweet! Other faves include the gai grar prow, garlic noodles with fried chicken, and the hangover noodles. Parking is plenty at both locations, though the wait can get pretty long (30+ minutes) during the weekends at the PHill location. read more

What a cute little breakfast spot! I really wish I could eat more sugary things as their pancakes look amazing!! I settled for the Gai Gra Prow and my friend got the eggs and potatoes. Service was very prompt and quick. my dish was very flavorful. Those pancakes though, I will be back to try them with more company! read more

In all fairness, the restaurant is small, so if you don't like sitting close to other diners, this is probably not the restaurant for you. However, I LOVE this brunch restaurant. I have been multiple times and it is a small cute brunch restaurant with an array of options. I have liked everything I've ordered from there and am always impressed with how fast they seat you even when they are busy. I would highly recommend for a small group outing for brunch. I recommend starting with a Chick Pops, it's an appetizer that is basically the chicken and waffles in bite form without having to fully commit. The Cloud potatoes are delicious. The servers are also always very nice. read more

Coming to this spot I was reluctant to try Thai brunch. Growing up, we didn't have any real brunch dishes that we considered breakfast. In Asian culture, food was heavy on the rice. So, I stuck to what I knew and got a pad kra pow (which is kind of breakfast-y and also tried a crab Benedict. The pad kra pow was DELICIOUS! Just like mama made and was truly an Asian breakfast. Nostalgia rushed back to me at first bite. The crab Benedict was also so good and made with real crab . The place was bustling but some how the waiters really had some crowd control. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and my visit. Snaps for this Thai brunch spot. read more

Very busy breakfast spot, but they keep the lines moving. The servers are very attentive and will check on you more than often. Came here to catch up with a friend. It's a loud environment, but rightfully so. They have some Asian inspired breakfast dishes. I ordered the loco moco with a twist of Japanese curry as the base gravy topped with an over easy egg. It was delicious and I thought the portion was enough. They have a waiting system through yelp, so be sure to check in prior before coming in! Large parking lot with ample of parking. read more

Came here with the work wifey to grab some lunch and afterwards we got our nails done. It was a lovely time! She ordered an avocado toast and I ordered the Hangout omelet! Very simple and basic, it was really tasty and very satisfying. The restaurant itself is very cozy, and it was packed! It seemed like the place to be for breakfast! I would definitely love to come back and try other foods, especially some of the drinks look really appetizing. Would recommend coming here if you wanted a simple breakfast place. read more

Location - convenient in a small plaza with lots of parking Ambiance - simple seating, with a waitlist when busy. It's a small location so on weekends I'm sure the wait can be long. We went on a weekday around 11:30am and were sat right away. Food 10/10 chicken and waffles - the chicken is cooked PERFECTLY. The breading is light, crispy, and flavorful. The waffle was dense and delicious. The hot maple syrup was a great addition (not actually spicy). All the floors went together very well! - the servings are very generous. Come very hungry or expect to have leftovers! read more

A few friends had recommended this place because of their ube pancakes, so I decided to check it out myself. Upon arrival, I noticed parking was limited, but we got lucky and found a place to park. The restaurant is located near other restaurants like El Morocco and I think it was an Italian restaurant, though I'm not sure. There were a lot of families waiting outside when we walked up, and I didn't realize that I needed to add my name to a waitlist on a tablet near the entrance. The wait was 49 minutes, so we decided to just wait in my car. The wait time turned out to be about 30 minutes. When we returned, the host called my name and seated us. Man oh man...let me tell you about the table set up, they were so close together, I had squeeze through to get to my seat! Aside from that, the server was very friendly and took our order. I ordered a black pink latte and a tiger prawn dish over rice. The latte tasted really strong, and the tiger prawn dish wasn't for me. The prawns were tough and the rice was mushy. I regret not getting the ube pancakes. My son ordered the smoked salmon benedict and my bf chose the loco moco. My son seemed to enjoy his meal. My bf said that the gravy tasted more like curry than the usual loco moco gravy. Overall, my dining experience was alright. I feel that they need a bigger place with the amount of people that come through the doors. When we walked out there was still a lot of people waiting! Like I said, the tiger prawn dish wasn't for me , but I'm open to giving this restaurant another try -- like maybe order the ube pancakes next time? read more

We came around 9am on a Saturday and were able to snag the table outside since we had our pup. It wasn't too busy, but as we were waiting for our food, people were consistently arriving. The staff were super friendly and checked on us often. I ordered the vanilla latte and hubby ordered the caramel latte, both came out extra hot, thick foam and yummy. We ordered the small chicken and waffle plate and eggs Benedict Florentine. The chicken was so crunchy and delicious! The aioli it came with was creamy and a little tangy, it really was delicious. The eggs Benedict was good, it just needed a tad bit more salt. The waitress even gave our pup water. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

I've been to the Walnut Creek location and we came to the Pleasant Hill location to try more menu items. The Pleasant Hill location is about half the size of the Walnut Creek location. There was only one outdoor table. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the total seating was bar seating. The parking is also not too bad. It's in a strip mall. So you'll find a parking spot but may need to walk a little. The spots right in front of the hangout are designated for the cleaners. Since this location is so much smaller the wait was a bit longer than the WC one. At noon we waited 20-30 minutes for a seat for two people. The brunch wave seemed to hit a slow spot when we were seated. We ordered the Thai iced tea, black sugar matcha, the hangover, and the garlic noodles with crispy chicken. We were seated at the bar but we were asked if we'd prefer to wait for a table instead. At the bar it's a mix of the people working behind the bar helping you and a server walking behind/next to you. The black sugar matcha wasn't too sweet or earthy. The Thai iced tea was very sweet. I don't think they asked if you wanted dairy milk substitutes. The Hangover is heavy on the basil flavor but very delicious. It is quintessential brunch flavors. I really enjoyed the crispy chicken! I think the chicken was double fried. The chicken was pounded flat. But seasoned well and very crispy without tasty like oil. At first the prices on the menu seem a bit high. But the portion sizes are huge. I only ate about half of the garlic noodles and chicken. I took the rest to go in a leftover box. I saw most people either couldn't finish all their food or asked for to go boxes. So really you get two meals out of it. Each menu item tends to range between $20-30. The food is delicious and it's a decent value! Service was friendly and efficient. We had several different people check on us. After trying several of the special items I am ready to return to try the more traditional breakfast items like the various omelets and pancakes. read more

I visited on Sunday as a walk up. There was a wait but it was indeed worth it. The Ube Latte was perfectly sweet and flavored. The 49er Benedict was a smoked saman Benedict with capers. It was a traditional benny but executed well. I love that the option for a side salad was a nice helping of mixed greens. The hangover was the star of the show. The spices used gives the Asian fusion flare. I could eat this for breakfast multiple times of week honestly. It's packed with flavor and the bacon and sausage gives such a nice texture and saltiness. It was sooooo good! read more

Sunday Brunch at the Hangout. Come early to check in at the kiosk. What turned into a 15-30min wait when checking in ended up being almost an hour for a party of 4. Service looks inconsistent, you'll be seated but it may take a while to get your order in or quick (each staff member works differently from observation) and we had to get their attention to place ours. Now for the food: There's that saying "You eat with your eyes first." so to see the amount of food is great but the plating choice/colors makes the presentation monotone and you realize the plate is small to make it look that way (see images). The savory plates needed a little more seasoning for our taste and when it says spicy I did not taste it at all, but the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy soft in the middle. A nice brunch spot to try when in the mood and you have some time, but not a place that we'd return to often. One and done. read more

Had a great breakfast at the Hangout. Got there right at opening and within 30 minutes, every table was full. So if you don't want to wait, get there early. Portions are big but almost everything is an add on. Lemon pancakes are very good but almost too much of them. The add on side of bacon and eggs was needed to cut the sweetness. French toast was super thick cut and the fruit topping was perfect. Everything was well made. Service is great, they check on you constantly even if it's not your server. read more

this was such a lively spot! we got there around 12:30pm, and had to put names down for ~1 hour wait (it's a yelp waitlist but you can only join in-person). my only gripe with this spot is a relatively longer wait time for food orders -- after we ordered, we waited over 30 minutes to get our food which was a tad disappointing. food itself was good though! it's a solid menu. some highlights are their bacon jam in the hangout omelet, and variation in sausages (don't see that a lot) offered. the potatoes on the side fell flat, lacking any flavor honestly but had a nice crisp to it. staff were very friendly & happy to see their customers, always talking and checking in :) read more
