Key in my name & number on the kiosk and receive a text with the ETA. Today at 11:30am it was 32 minute wait for a party of three. Probably twenty people waiting when we sat down. Started with a cup of thier delicious dark roast. Loco Moco:mushroom gravy over steamed rice with a generous burger cooked medium and a over easy egg on top. Good rich and filling, but not the best version I've had (Kula Bistro on Maui) Fun eclectic menu,fast service and the place was busy.

Thai inspired American brunch! Workers were super sweet and hardworking, food was good! As most folks mentioned, the Ube latte doesn't have much flavor to it but to their defense, I did ask for less sweetness. It was good though! Tasted like milk with a hint of Ube. Might have better luck with the Ube espresso. The Ube pancake was yum. I liked the grapes on top of it, the orange pieces were not the best tho. Chicken and Waffle was good -- it came with a spicy and non spicy maple syrup which was yum. Packing everything to go was great as well. The servers gave us sauce containers so nothing went to waste. Wait was ~45 min at 9am on a Saturday. Came out to $60 dollars for 3 items after TT.

Ube Pancakes

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.

Kind of obsessed with this place! So glad I found it and was very worth the 40 minute wait for Sunday Brunch. Had a party of 5 and service was fast once we were seated and staff was very attentive and kind. Very family friendly restaurant. One of a kind brunch spot.

Fried chicken salad

Consistently fantastic. One of our family favorites. My wife, daughter, and I have eaten at The Hangout in Pleasant Hill dozens of times, and it never disappoints. Their unique Asian-fusion menu offers an incredible variety of dishes, and at this point, I've probably ordered 80% of them. Everything has been fantastic. My wife and I love trying something new each visit because we know it'll be good. My daughter has her favorites: the Ube Pancakes and Sunrise French Toast. Personal favorites: Their Eggs Benedict selections are always winners, and the seafood is exceptionally fresh. You can actually taste the seafood, which is more than I can say for some other restaurants I've visited. You can tell that the owners and servers take pride in their work. They are genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently excellent. The line can get long, but there's a good reason for that. It's 100% worth the wait. Great food, great people, and a place our family keeps coming back to. Five stars, without hesitation.

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!

Crispy Chicken Benedict

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.

Avocado Toast
Glenn L.

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.

Hangout Sour
Rosie M.

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!

Chicken & Waffle
Sylvia K.

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.

The Hangout Omelet

Bets spot around for good breakfast and brunch. Played some morning golf and came here hungry. Place never disappoints for a good meal.

Great Service and atmosphere!! The food was DELICIOUS with great portions. The French toast and potatoes were my personal favorites.

Fried chicken and waffle , however, this is just one of the sizes of the chicken they gave you
Jamica M.

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?

Ask the Community - The Hangout

Is outdoor seating pet-friendly?

Yes, Bring your pet to hangout together!

Can large parties be accommodated?

I've seen them set up tables for a large party in the tent in front of the restaurant.

Are bottomless mimosas available on weekdays? If so, is it available until closing at 3?

Like already said, mimosas are available during the week. They have four different flavors and the waitstaff circulates often. I don't agree with one Yelper who said the ambience and location are not good. 🙄 I HEARTILY disagree. There is a good mix… 

Do they have bottomless mimosas on weekdays?

They say it's bottomless, but they totally limit you and try to avoid servicing you.

Is this place in any relation to the Hideout Kitchen in Lafayette?

No different stay, different name, and different owners.

Is there free parking?

Yes!!

Do you take reservation on Sunday's for large parties?

Hi Lisa D, We do not take Reservations on The weekend but, If you come early morning you will not wait too long.

Is breakfast served all day?

It sure is. And it's delicious!

Is this restaurant Dog friendly?

Yes!! They have outdoor seating and you can even ask for a dog bowl for water! Just make sure to go there early because they do get quite busy in the late morning :)

I see gluten-free bread, are there any other gluten-free options?

Yes there are. Many options with gluten free bread.

Plenty of parking available as well. We haven't dined in as a family yet, but recently ordered takeout a couple of times to try their breakfast. The first time we ordered a chocolate chip waffle and breakfast burrito. We have also tried the chocolate chip pancakes and Denver scramble. I ordered an Iced Korean coffee that was amazing, good cream and not too sweet. The food is delicious, the chocolate chip waffle was big enough for the family to share. Their hash browns are nice with a good crisp. We'll have to visit to dine in, and try more food.

Warm, familiar, comforting, and the kind of place that just feels woven into the rhythm of local life. One of the main reasons we keep coming back is the crab eggs benedict. It is so, so good. Rich, satisfying, and the kind of breakfast you end up thinking about later. If you come here, that dish alone is worth the visit. One critique... depending on the day, the crab portions can leave you wither madly in love or a bit disappointed, and then you have to just hope the next visit will be back to normal. It feels like a true neighborhood classic, and after all these years, it still feels like home :)

So what better place to dine in to celebrate out 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary at The Hideout Kitchen :) We went for dinner. Our server was KEVIN. Simply...HE IS JUST AWESOME. He knows the menu, he knows the history, and has amazing stories to share with everyone. Great guy. A lot of people there that night seemed to be celebrating something. The noise was a bit loud that I felt I had to almost yell to have a conversation with my husband. But the vibe was great. I enjoyed looking around at the decor. We ordered: - TRUFFLE FRIES for appetizers - I loved everything about it. haha. Tastey! - linguine & clams - I ordered this. It was good. However, I felt it was way oily. And after every bite I took, I had to wipe my mouth. And I accidentally spilled oil on my shirt. - PASTA ALLA CARBONE with steak - My husband enjoyed it and started to get full towards clearing out his bowl haha. - SCALLOPED POTATOES - I ordered a side of this. Definitely was not expecting to look the way it did, but I thought the presentation was beautiful. It was good; however, I was not a fan at how crunchy and hard the top first layer was. In a few areas, it was almost burnt. But I thought it was pretty good without the need for a type of sauce on the side. - For drinks, I had to Summer sangria and my husband had the Rumble in the Jungle. We enjoyed it. Definitely hit the spot. No complaints at all about these drinks. - And Kevin surprised us with a dessert to celebrate : Cranberry Bread Pudding. This was delicious. Very flavorful. I am not really into Cranberry, but this is definitely an exception. Loved the fruits on the side as well. The Hideout Kitchen will always have a place in our hearts. We will definitely come back. We still need to try this place out for Brunch. We need to try their UBE pancakes! hehehe. And thanks Kevin for being amazing that night!

Perhaps it was just me, but the menu didn't offer anything particularly exciting. We ordered the pork belly panini ($22) and a full wedge salad ($19). The pork belly had a crust that was nearly impossible to bite through, so I had to cut it off with a knife, leaving a thin layer of fat. The flavor was underwhelming as well. The blue cheese wedge salad had an unusual flavor that neither my wife nor I enjoyed, and we left most of it. Honestly, even Outback does a better job with their wedge salad. The Parmesan fries were the one standout. The beer selection was quite limited, although they did have a Dustbowl Taco Truck, which is a nice option. A few more beer choices would have been appreciated. On a positive note, Kary provided good service, and we appreciated her attentiveness. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience, and with so many great restaurants in town, I'm not sure we'd return. I do miss the old Cooperage that used to be here; we always enjoyed it much more.

They have a fairly good selection on the menu (lots of sweet options and lots of savory; also a lot of drinks, coffees, and mimosas too). I definitely appreciate the options for flights/tasting plates. My party had trio of pancakes and I was very tempted to do a coffee flight as well. So solid 4 stars for ambience and service. But the food was largely unimpressive, despite looking amazing. Definitely 5 stars for presentation tho. I had the green chilaquiles....the green sauce was very bland and the eggs were also unflavorful. I also tried the following pancakes: s'mores, lemon blueberry, cookie butter, and chocolate chip. The s'mores looked the best but the chocolate chip tasted the best. I also tried the steak frites which were also just sort of okay. Overall food was 3-4 stars.

Unfortunately, I had to add a whole bunch of hot sauce to make it taste better but I still couldn't believe that the chorizo didn't taste like anything so much so that my five-year-old was able to eat it without saying that it had any iota of spice in it. The Melin mimosa was a nice treat with a pineapple juice and the blue sugar rim, and it tasted just as good as it looked.
