    Chicken & Waffle
    Nicole P.

    pros: quick service, casual ambiance cons: n/a this was a fun casual asian fusion brunch spot! the raspberry lemonade was super fresh and refreshing! the butterfly pea latte had lavender syrup but wasn't floral at all, tasted more like earl grey, yum! the chicken and waffles was really yummy, the chicken had a maple crust, the waffles were moist. i do wish the chicken filets were softer cuts, there were some dry/tough spots. my friends really enjoyed their garlic noodles and flying pig benedict.

    Oh my goodness...I'm such a fan of all these Asian brunch places popping up and The Hangout did not disappoint! Food and service were excellent. They have outdoor and indoor seating available. The Hangover reminded me of a less creamy version of pasta carbonara with more spice and veggies which I loved! The ube pancakes are also a must, so get one to split for the table. Great brunch spot!

    I was looking for a brunch place in Walnut Creek and found The Hangout. After entering, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Brunch + Asian Fusion. There were so many items that I wanted to try, but I only had one stomach. Came here on a Thursday morning and the restaurant was operating at around 20% capacity. The food: Garlic Noodle with Crispy Chicken - Garlic Noodles were tasty. The Crispy Chicken had really nice, almost tempura like batter. Wish it had a little sauce or something to bring it all together. Berry Lover Toast - Two large pieces of French Toast with a blueberry based inside, topped with a ton of stuff including sliced almonds, corn flakes, powdered sugar, sliced grapes and some thinly sliced oranges. There's a lot going on here. I did like the strawberry preserves as a topper - it seemed homemade and it wasn't too sweet. I didn't try any of my friend's Country Potatoes, but they looked legit. Good service and plenty of nearby parking. Properly named, as this is a good place to Hangout!

    We felt very welcome and weee immediately seen to on this quiet Tuesday morning. The menu has all what breakfast and lunch you might feel like. I was warned portions weee big so I went for a pondered 2 eggs at $15. My daughter had the pancakes with berries and bananas and chocolate sauce with loads of sliced almonds. She also had a hot chocolate , I felt that was over priced at $6. We went for the counter as it was very quiet. Service was quick and the food delicious.

    When you first walked into the restaurant, it definitely looked like a really great place to eat and hang out with friends hence the name the hangout. The decoration is very simple yet very welcoming. The drink was kind of tasteless and very watery. It didn't really taste like the Ube flavor. Or that it has been washed down. The pancake was good. The chicken and waffle were actually really good. Chicken was tender and waffle with crispy with a hint of honey was the perfect combo.

    My sister went to The Hangout at Pleasant Hill but they put our party down for the one in Walnut Creek - how does that happen? I'm glad it did because she said there were a lot of people waiting outside at the PH location. By the time we made it to WC, our tables were ready. There were no long wait times for anyone who came after us, maybe 5 minutes. Crowds started thinning out around noon. This was the 1st time any of us dined at The Hangout and it did not disappoint. The staff was very inviting and friendly. The person who took care of us was very helpful with explaining menu items and making suggestions. We were a large party so they had to split our tables but we were right to each other. There is a spacious dining area as well as outdoor seating. Standout dishes: Chicken & waffle - BIG portion. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. It was so good, the entire plate was wiped clean. Crispy chicken with garlic noodles - delicious combination. The garlic noodles were made with real garlic, not just powder. They need to offer this as a side dish. Chicken pops - chopped up, sample size version of the chicken and waffles. Perfect for sharing. We will definitely come back to this location if we're in the area.

    Ube pancakes and grilled cheese with fries

    Located within a plaza with plenty of parking. Came in for brunch with a few friends and it was a packed house. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We selected outside seating. It was a nice day. Their menu has extensive options. Menu option reminds me of Hawaii but with an international twist. Ordered Ube pancakes, Chicken Katsu curry over rice, breakfast scrambled and grilled cheese with fries. Ube pancakes were really delicious and it was not too sweet until you drizzled the ube syrup. Curry chicken katsu was loaded with fried chicken topped with an egg with potatoes. Wished they had more curry sauce but overall it was delicious. Portion was large. This is a shareable dish. Breakfast was okay imo. Nothing special. It came with muffins and roasted potatoes. Grilled cheese with fries were on kids menu option. This is not something for one kid to eat. Large portions. Pricy but it is large portions so it is worth it. Our server was very attentive. He checked on us often which I like. Will definitely come back to try other items.

    Monster hotcakes
    Nasser S.

    Absolutely love this place. I would go back in a heartbeat. The food tasted as good as it looked. All 3 of us were satisfied with our meals completely and definitely want to go back for more and try them again and again and again. I got the Monster Hotcakes that comes with 3 different pancakes and 3 different syrups for the 3 different pancakes. Can you say over the top awesome, you don't have to, I just did haha. It also comes with two eggs, I got scrambled and two meats, I got chicken sausage which was really good. It also comes with French toast and fruit. I was so happy. The only down fall is the cutting board it is served on looks great for presentation but not very functional with syrup being poured. The garlic noodles and crispy chicken was on point as well and the Loco Moco was good too. I must go to destination location Pro Tip : go early on the weekend or on a week day when they are less crowded. We went at around 11:30 am on Saturday and we still got in but they was packed even outside. Worth the wait either way.

    Omelet
    Elizabeth L.

    Came here because of the great reviews. To me, it seems like this place is a little over hyped. It's really cute inside, and the staff was friendly. Maybe I just didn't get the right thing, I'm not sure. I just wasn't super impressed. I ordered an omelet and as soon as it came out, I could tell that the eggs were overdone/burnt. That is my pet peeve with eggs, and feel that for a breakfast spot, it should be a big no-no. Eggs just do not taste good when they're not done properly. They did not have sourdough bread so I ordered the English muffin, but it was so hard and thin, it reminded me of a hockey puck. I wasn't really a big fan of the potatoes either. My husband ordered the Benedict and he said that his was pretty good. He did say, though, that there was almost too much ham--like it wasn't well proportioned. That being said, he did enjoy it. He didn't really care for the potatoes either. I ordered an iced coffee that was really good. All in all, I probably wouldn't be back but it was alright.

    Ube pancakes, eggs and bacon
    Hope B.

    We love this place! Before I start, just be aware that on weekends, the wait could be lengthy, especially if you have a party over 5 people. All the time that we've been here, the service has been great! They were friendly, efficient, and competent. Some are more friendlier than others but that's ok. The portions are HUGE, so come hungry. The chicken and waffles is amazing. The chicken was well battered and seasoned just the way I like it. The outside is crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. The pancakes are also great. My favorite is the Ube pancake with the Ube syrup. It's not overly sweet but sweet enough to satisfy if you're craving something sweet. The pancakes are cooked perfect, is not doughy but soft and fluffy. There's plenty of private parking and though the place is a good size, it can be crowded. On a nice day, you can opt to have outside seating which is a nice touch. 100% recommend.

    Ube espresso
    Winnie L.

    After coming back from Hawaii, I was craving one pancakes. A friend told me about their favorite brunch place which happened to be here. I have only been to their PH location years ago and remembered it was good, having their Chicken n Waffles at the time. We had a late lunch and arrived around 2ish, just under an hour before they closed. Got the ube espresso (which is pretty much a latte) 4/5 and ube pancakes ofc. If this were just pancakes, it'd be 5/5. But since I am comparing it to YogurStory's (in HNL) ube pancakes, I am giving it 3.5/5. The fresh fruit toppings, fluffiness and soft texture was nice. The ube flavoring was powder vs the natural coconut flavors, as it sat on my tongue the whole time. IYKYK. Sauce wasn't too sweet but lacked the true ube flavor I was hoping for. DD ordered the chicken katsu and absolutely LOVED, as did I from the bite she shared with me. jasmine rice. Mild curry sauce. Crispy chicken. Soft Yukon potatoes. Everything was very well balanced. 5/5 She also enjoyed her Butterfly tea drink that was blue colored. 5/5 Hubs ordered the local moco which was curry sauce vs tradl gravy. 3/5 He said it was okay. His hot matcha was good. 4/5 Overall, this was like solid 4. Will be back to try the garlic noodles. That looked really good

    Hangover
    Ed S.

    We drove to Walnut Creek to try to check the Hangout. It was a busy weekday morning with several people inside. We're just lucky to find a table for us. It's almost lunchtime and we wanted to check their special menu. I ended up getting the Hangover consisting of stir-fried Italian noodles, Basil, Bell pepper, Onion, Mushroom, CK Apple, Bacon and fried egg The vegetables are fresh and the noodles are soft. I liked this combination of vegetables and noodles as well as the bacon and fried eggs. The plate is big in portion. Next time, I will try their breakfast plate. I read a lot of positive reviews on this. Until next time.

    Thai Siam Tea
    Morgan P.

    We regulars at the pleasant hill location and had to check out the new location in Rossmoor. Location- plenty of parking available, shares a shopping center parking lot. Waitlist- quoted 18-33 min wait, only waited 5-10 before getting called The line always looks long but it moves fast and it's worth a brief wait! Order- Siam tea- 10/10 great classic Thai tea Raspberry lemonade- 8.5/10 super fresh! Leans very tart, not syrupy sweet Chick pops- we always get this at the other location, and just like always, they were 10/10 Garlic noodles- 8/10 they're tasty but slightly lacking something to take it over the top Katsu curry- 10/10 the chicken is the perfect carrier for the curry gravy, and everything on the plate just complements each other so perfectly And the actual reason we came here: the pancake. I'm not a big pancake person but the hangout pancakes are so tasty and fluffy and delicious they're really the only ones I'll eat!

To be honest, I was stoked off my ass to be able to have it DoorDashed to my hospital room to eat my first significant meal in days since I've been here. The brûlée was super tasty, with fresh fruit on top and great texture. I only wish the rest of the meal had followed suit. I mean, it may have, but I didn't receive half of what I ordered :( The Arnold Palmer was a no-show, which was a huge bummer because, for whatever reason, that sounded like the best thing in the world yesterday. I'm reckon it was just an honest mistake. The staff at Cooperage are human, after all. Speaking of no-shows, go ahead and add my soup to the "Missing Dinner" reward money posters. This one really hurt because A) I originally had to pay a modest charge to upgrade my side, and B) Iam an incorrigible and shameless slut for soup, Lastly, when they packed the food, they put a pickle spear in the same container as the sandwich. Normally this is, like, my reminder that there is good in this world. However last night it was as if they dumped half of the jar of pickle juice over the entire bottom of the container, then put the sandwich on top of it. The result? Soggy, inedible sandwich roll bottoms. It was the ruin of two of my favorite things: pickles and carbs. I wouldn't be averse to possibly trying Cooperage again in the future, but paying over $50 to only recoup $16 in credits for a meal in which only the dessert came out ok was a definite disappointment.

Great atmosphere, good drinks, and a relaxed vibe--definitely a spot we'd come back to!

    We went to the Rooftop restaurant in Walnut Creek for our anniversary. Originally we had…read morereservations at Va de Vi but it was packed and we would have been stuck sitting near the door. I'm so glad we ended up across the street. It's an open area restaurant with a very large wraparound bar and rooftop deck seating overlooking downtown. Despite it being windy and chilly, we didn't get cold at all. I regret not taking photos of the restaurant itself as the ambience was so unique. We ordered 3 appetizers and no mains. Fried calamari, heirloom tomatoes with burrata and roasted brussel sprouts. Calamari: batter was a bit darker than most I've had, but consistency and crispness the same. Don't know if they used extra paprika for the color. The calamari was tender and a good contrast to the batter. The real star was their tartar sauce which was so yummy we asked for more. Tomato salad: this dish was just about perfect. What you can't see well in the photo is the burrata sitting on a bed of pesto. The pesto is arugula-based, making it much milder and not so basil-forward, which we appreciated. Brussels sprouts: It's not the best we've had but I would still order it again, if nothing more than to get those insane bacon chunks that came with the vegetables. I had the spicy maracuya and hubby had the Irish goodbye as drinks. Both wonderfully done, but I especially liked the Irish goodbye which was their take on a manhattan - instead of bourbon they used whiskey, and threw in some green chartreuse along with the vermouth. We'll have to try to recreate this at home. Service was friendly, but the server didn't check up on us. They looked understaffed. All in all, we would be sure to go back, and drag some friends with us.
