Came here with some friends for the first time and overall did enjoy it. This area has an assortment of great brunch/lunch spots and there is paid parking. This location does take reservations, but we did show up without one and were able to be seated at the barstool tables. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the menu had a number of amazing things listed. We all ordered something different, but I got the Morning Glory - which is a breakfast sandwich with a side salad (the salad was amazing). The sandwich was very filling and delicious. Why not 5 stars? The drinks. 3/4 ordered the same cocktail for about $18 each. The glasses were half full if even and mostly ice. I do not mind paying for a drink, but for $18 I expect to get a full glass. Bottom line, I would come back for the food, but would pass on the cocktails.
Lafayette is such a gem of a place. While in the area, we stopped at this local spot on a beautiful (and hot) day. We opted to not sit outside, rather inside right by the exterior seating to still get the vibes but also some AC. I love places like Lafayette where all the businesses support each other and help each other grow. Their brews on tap are mostly all local, and we grabbed some Pilsners sourced from Lafayette's new brewery, Western Flyer. So fresh and crisp. Can't wait to also check that spot out. Food-wise, we came in mid-afternoon and grabbed a Kale Pancetta salad (they pre-split the salad for us on two plates which was so nice), and for the mains, we both grabbed the Tuna Melt with fries. The salad was delicious. I'm def a tuna melt girly, and I loved the addition of the ciabatta (?) as the bread option, so fresh as well. This tuna melt comes with grapes fyi, and a few other elements mixed in. I absolutely loved it, just sharing though as I know how some tuna stans like their tuna :) This spot is clean, spacious, and perfectly situated in walking distance downtown. Would love to come back for brunch with a group of friends, or even again during the upcoming Lafayette Art & Wine Fest. Food is good, service is quick and friendly, and vibes are right. Metered parking located across the street.
We stopped by The Hideout Kitchen in Lafayette for a quick lunch while we were in the area and grabbed a table on the patio. The vibe inside is luxe, the food has great presentation, and the menu had a lot of tempting options. Since we were there for a light lunch, we ordered the chicken cobb salad and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, but a few things tasted a bit off from what we expected. - Chicken Cobb Salad: light and refreshing, packed with fresh greens. But it needed more flavor overall - the dressing was super mild, the chicken was dry, and the blue cheese was so light it honestly tasted like feta - Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup: comforting, but I wished the bread was thicker and fluffier, like a milk bread or brioche. The soup was nice and creamy but too salty to enjoy by itself Overall a pleasant spot with a lot of potential - I think there are just small tweaks that could have been made. Would definitely give this a second chance and try out the dinner menu.
We started here for dinner before heading out to a concert. Dinner was perfection and so were the drinks. I never know of this little gem of a place in Lafayette until my friend raved about it. I'm happy she suggested it before we headed out to our concert in Oakland. My friend had the boneless Mary's chicken, yukon & russet mash, braised kale, truffle honey and I, blackened salmon spanish spices, brown rice & quinoa pilaf, roasted vegetables, pesto. To me it was a lot of food for the price, so I ended up taking half of my meal home to have as leftovers for dinner the following night. Check them out.
Solid experience once again. We came for Father's Day brunch. Friendly staff and got seating right it away. As expected but linger for food but still reasonable knowing every table of this large restaurant is filled with other patrons. Shrimp and grits. The shrimp large juicy and had natural sweetness. I love sauce but this was a bit over sauced for me. My son love his steak eggs and fruit. Pork Silog was ok. Garlic rice was great, pork was a bit one note. Next time we should get back to our usual favorites which is burger, fried chicken, Cobb salad etc.
I had been to the restaurant that was previously at this location a few years ago and had been wanting to try The Hideout Kitchen. I came here this morning with some friends and we really enjoyed our meal! First, I LOVE that they take reservations online via Open Table. We have been to other restaurants for brunch that don't take reservations and had to wait 45-60 mins to get seated. I arrived a few mins early and was immediately seated after checking in. My friends were running late so I appreciated that they didn't make me wait until the rest of the party arrived. The entrees we got were the ube pancakes, tomato soup and grilled cheese, chorizo tacos, and a Benedict. The ube pancakes were a generous portion and the ube sauce wasn't overly sweet. I tried a piece of the grilled cheese one of my friends ordered, which was perfectly cheesy. Though I didn't partake as a non-meat eater, my friends seemed to enjoy the chorizo tacos. Friends had mimosas and a lychee martini. Next time I'll have to take uber or Lyft there so I can enjoy them without being too drunk to drive! Waiter was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for the food or check. We had a great table outside. Although we were near a lot of car and foot traffic, we could still talk and hear each other at a normal volume. I'd love to try the grilled cheese with tomato soup on a chilly day, which are probably far and few now that it's spring. Maybe next time I'll try the brioche French toast or the breakfast burrito.
We love The Hideout! Been coming here for a long time, maybe 10 years ago when it was near the Soccer Post. Everything I've had there is fabulous! The owner JB is a great human! He helped many local businesses during the pandemic!
Love that this place takes a homage to my Filipino roots with their pulled pork silogs and Ube pancakes. We loved the spicy maple syrup that accompanied the fried chicken and waffles. The chicken was also moist and well seasoned. Steak salad was average and pretty much on par with any other restaurants. Drinks need room for improvement. The old fashioned was the worst we've ever ordered.
This is a good place to come after spending time at the Lafayette Reservoir! They have lovely outside seating and a casual atmosphere, but feels slightly upscale too. We were seated immediately, but it took about 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. However, he took our drink and food order quickly and took good care of during our visit. We went for brunch/lunch on a weekday. They have a great variety of options for food, something for everyone! We started with coffee, which tasted good and I liked the mugs and little pitcher of cream alongside. There was a little bit of the grounds in the coffee, but not so much to make it unpleasant. To eat, I had the steak frites. It's not your traditional steak frites, which was nice to see! The chimmichuri sauce was the perfect topping for the steak. The fries were cooked to my liking (not too crispy) and the steak was seasoned well. If I were to order it again, I'd ask for medium rare as opposed to medium to make it an even better eating experience. However, it was delicious! The other people in my party had the smoked brisket panini and the honey fried chicken. Both of these dishes were delicious as well. The chicken is one of their best selling dishes. If you're looking for a good spot to eat and have drinks after hiking around the reservoir, check out The Hideout Kitchen!
Continues to be go to brunch place but this time I would rate it 3.5 stars We ordered curry chicken wrap - though flavorful it could do with more seasoning, less burning and moisture or curry. Frittata has always been our favorite but it was also dry, I liked it when they served it in the baking dish itself. Drinks were good. Chocolate martini and bubbly both were good. Being Easter Sunday their kitchen was backed up. So it took them solid 30 minutes to bring the food. But after that they did get us the spicy aioli and were quick to serve whatever we wanted. We liked the previous location a bit better but atleast this is more open. All the parking spots are paid and only coin or credit card are accepted. Three hr limit on the parking.
Very roomy restaurant w lots of indoor And outdoor seating. Surprised me w Filipino food options, wish I could have tried the pulled pork silog. Will be getting that entree next time. Wait staff was very patient, attentive, and accommodating to us!
I dined at Hideout with a group of colleagues after a long training day. Great experience. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor space. We landed at a table in the bar for happy hour - this is where my only critique comes in. The chairs at the high tops in the bar are "half stools" - not enough seat to rest comfortably on. Each member of my party commented on them as they sat down and groaned when they stood up later. We then had dinner on the patio and it was delightful. We shared a few appetizers - the mascarpone toast was the surprise favorite! Then a range of entrees - each one of them delicious. Hideout achieves that perfect blend of homey and chef-driven. True comfort food without feeling heavy. Our server took great care of us. I'd highly recommend this spot. Just choose your chair carefully.
Came in for a pre-movie dinner on a busy Friday night, and other than a few minor issues, we had an overall excellent experience. We got seated in the back room which was cozy and not as loud, which was great. Our server was friendly and put in our order quickly after we let him know that we had to try to make a movie time in nearby Walnut Creek. Because the restaurant was pretty busy, it was understandable that the kitchen was also handling a lot of orders, and all things considered, the food came out pretty quickly overall. The wedge salad was an excellent portion and had a different type of dressing than your usual blue cheese, and even though it was lighter than a typical blue cheese dressing, it was very flavorful, and the salad was packed with tomatoes and crispy bacon, along with crisp iceberg lettuce. The French onion soup was bubbling hot and rich, and the meatball and polenta appetizer included tender, nicely seasoned meatball over creamy polenta and a rich gravy. The polenta was chunkier than we prefer but went well with the gravy and meatballs. The boneless honey fried chicken was outstanding, with crispy skin, tender meat, and drizzled with tasty truffle honey. The potato fennel mash was smooth and salted nicely, and the sauteed kale with dried cranberries had good texture and flavors. Both sides complemented the fried chicken well. We were in a rush at the end to leave to get to the movie on time, and getting the check paid took a little longer than expected, but that was pretty minor. There are plenty of other menu options that we would like to try again in the near future and look forward to coming back soon.

Slowly making our way through Bay Area brunch spots. Came here with some friends to change it up from our usual spot. We met up a little after 12 PM. There was some parking but the lot was full and you had to pay to park. We didn't have a reservation, but they had tables open for those without them. I ordered the Pulled Pork Silog, the garlic rice and the fried egg on top were really good, the pickled onions a nice touch, the pulled pork didn't have much flavor and I probably wouldn't order this dish again. I also ordered the Pomelo Spritz, I was disappointed in this. The glass was half full and it was mostly ice. Wouldn't order a drink again. To note they do not have bottomless mimosas at the moment. The staff was very attentive and communicative if they didn't have something we wanted. read more
Great ambiance. Very spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be difficult; there's a nearby paid parking area or street parking. We got seated pretty quickly despite no reservations. Our server was friendly and attentive. However, the wait time for the food was LONG and it wasn't even crazy busy. We had to ask several times about our food. Food- wise, everything we ordered was delicious. It was flavorful and good portioned. Overall, a pleasant experience. I would like to come back to try their lunch or dinner menu. read more

It was a lovely evening to sit outside but the service was atrocious. They have a service level problem which is a shame bc the food is actually good. There was confusion between two server for our entire section of 6 tables, which led to delays in getting water, taking orders, receiving food (our chicken wings came our slow and was cold), (did not get a steakknife for my double porkchop, so the food got cold, I eventually flagged down the hostess who got me the correct knife vs a butter knife), and checking in the taste of the food (did not happen). I ordered an expensive dinner and it came out cold. Not great. I'd say I am 0-2 at The Hideout now. It's just not worth the service difficulties - every table in our section had delays and difficulties. It is so off-putting that you'll want to leave. Btw they add "+3% service fee to all transactions" which you'd think would equate to the commensurate level of higher service. Hope they can improve bc the hostess was great, the food was very good, and the ambiance is solid. Despite that I'm not sure I'd ever come back. Yes, that's how badly the service staff is run there. Poor experience, good (cold) meal. read more

I love the hideout kitchen. On a nice day, sitting on the patio, I'm swept away to somewhere else. I feel like I'm on vacation and everything on the menu is a delicious getaway. Every time we go, there is a different menu. Brunch is one, happy hour (mid day offerings) and then there was dinner. I'm sure those rotate items as well. The food is great, lots of savory options that are on the healthier side. The meatballs and polenta, mussels, brussels and salads were delicious. This place is dog friendly, they have a nice patio for your well behaved best friends. Service was friendly and the whole place is just nice. Highly recommend. read more

Food and Drinks were very tasty and of high quality. We ordered the cheeseburger, the Sesame Seared Ahi, one of the beers from their rotational tab and a cocktail (Manhattan). For desert we had Marianne's Mid Pie. We sat on the patio with our dog and the service was very friendly and efficient. The patio is very inviting and tastefully decorated. We will be back! read more

Happy February! My Coworker and I came by the hideout for lunch! This was my first visit, and it didn't disappoint. It is paid meter parking. We came in around noon and were able to get seated immediately. We asked to be seated outside since it was a nice day out! Inside had a bit of a dark modern aesthetic. The menu had lots of good lunch options, but not too many vegan options. We ordered the roasted chicken panini with side of sweet potatoes fries and the smoked brisket panini with house salad! I really enjoyed the chicken panini. I thought the basil aioli was incredibly flavorful! I didn't try the smoked brisket panini, but my coworker enjoyed it a lot! Overall, great food and great service! I will definitely come back in the future to try other food. Maybe even during the weekends for the brunch menu! read more

This is my second time visiting The Hideout Kitchen, it was a pretty busy afternoon for employees at they prepare for their New Year Party. My boyfriend and I ordered 1 Honey Fried Chicken Plate & 1 Steak Frites Plate. I ordered the Honey Fried Chicken plate which was delicious, crunchy on the outside & juicy in the inside. I honestly enjoyed my meal so much that I wanted to finish my entire plate but was so full. For the Steak Frites, my boyfriend regrettably ordered his cooked Medium Rare which ended up being a little too red for him (but.. That's on him! I) Personally, I do think the fries could've been cooked longer until crispy golden. As for drinks, I ordered a Hideout Ranch Water which was good. One thing to note, and a reason why I docked a star, was because one item on the receipt (my fried chicken plate) was not the happy hour price. They immediately fixed this but I recommend checking your receipt if you go during happy hour, as they were definitely on autopilot (especially today as they prep for a busy night). Lastly, Ambiance was nice. Casual enough to grab drinks, but also clean and dimmed enough for a date night. Regardless of the docked star for this visit, I'd love to come back and try their Salmon plate. read more
4.5/5 Very good! Maybe if I keep thinking about returning it'll be a 5 Really yummy, casual but refined New American food - it's exciting that Hideout Kitchen has moved to this new location and it's a great addition to the plaza! There's ample indoor and outdoor seating (including amenities like TVs playing sports indoors near the bar, and heat lamps or fans to keep outdoors comfortable). Service is quick and friendly, and attentive all around. We found parking for a few dollars in the lot across the street but if you scrounge around the side streets and don't mind an after dinner walk some free parking may be available too. The menu is full of enticing dishes such as brussels sprout and flatbread appetizers, fresh market fish and lots of drinks. But we came for the new offer of a three course "Golden Hour" dinner for $39, M-W from 5-6pm and it's a great deal! There's a choice between two starter salads, five entrees, and two desserts and we found all the items we tried to be generously portioned and precisely made. Of note is the Honey Fried Chicken which is boneless!! and includes one piece of white meat and one of dark. The crispy exterior was delicious and flavorful, and pairing with velvety potatoes and tender kale was very enjoyable. The clam linguini was also full of fresh clams and had a complex sauce that could be great to dip bread in. My favorite item was the Basque Cheesecake for dessert which came with some berry sauce and fresh fruit - this managed to be dense and light at the same time, not too sweet but very tasty. It was a pleasant dinner enjoying the outdoor lighting, polite service, and food made with heart. We hope the Golden Hour stays around, maybe with seasonal menu changes for some exciting variety, as it makes a great date night. read more
Came here for Easter lunch. Huge restaurant that's good for big groups. Parking is convenient with the lot across the street. The waiter was very kind and patient with our group of 15. Cocktails were yummy (had the white Negroni) and the portions are generous. I should've skipped the grilled cheese and gotten the shrimp and grits but everyone else liked their dishes! Salads, steak frites, French toast (not pictured) were all good. Good brunch spot. read more
Excellent all around--great portions, high quality food, attentive service, and solid value. The ambiance can get pretty loud during peak hours, so keep that in mind. They also offer happy hour and weeknight specials, which is a nice bonus. I'll definitely be making this a regular go-to! read more

Nice restaurant tucked in & away from any riff-raff. The food was catered so I can't really say much about that. The place was clean, well lit & organized but I did feel welcomed for the area that it's in for the most part. The service was ok, I've experienced worse. read more

We had a reservation for a large party (11) and we were happy they could accommodate us. The server was excellent. She was very attentive and super friendly. Nice sized portions. A few of us were able to split dishes and were satisfied. We all enjoyed what we ordered. No complaints from Anyone in our party. read more
The food here was excellent! The dishes didn't come with rice by default, but when we asked for it, they kindly brought us some it was perfect. The drink I ordered was also amazing. One of the staff members was a Persian lady, and she took such great care of us super kind and attentive. The overall service was wonderful, and the place has a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. We really enjoyed our visit and are already planning to come back soon to try their brunch! read more
I got the steak frites and the waitress asked how I would like it cooked to which I said medium rare. It came well done. All brown even when I cut into it with a couple random splotches of light pink. To the point I was wondering if they seared the slices individually instead of a whole steak. Honestly, I wouldn't have been too picky about it if the staff didn't go out of their way to ask me my preference. But if I explicitly said medium rare because they asked and it comes well done I am going to say something. They send over another steak and it is literally raw.. At this point I don't even think it's safe to eat. I don't understand how it goes from well done to raw. It seems kind of either incompetent or petty of the kitchen. Quite disappointing for one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. The waitress was exceptionally great though and was entirely understanding of the situation. She even offered to send it back a second time but no way was I going to do that. read more
Tucked in a quaint Lafayette town,parking around is also small and metered.A special celebration for us to be here and they allowed our furry babies to celebrate with us.This restaurant has Filipino American fusion food,we love the biscuit and brisket Benedict,ube pancake,all our orders came in right temperature,generous serving and delicious,staff are attentive and friendly.Shout out to the staff for making our celebration a memorable one. read more
Food and service here is amazing. We enjoyed a great lunch here having the waffle sandwich with sweet potato fries and a grilled cheese panini with a tomato basil soup as well as the Parmesan fries (so good!). The guava sangria was perfectly refreshing. The restaurant is beautiful with a nice atmosphere We chose to sit outside it was nice and shaded with a nice breeze, service was great our server was extremely attentive and kind he made sure everyone was taken care of at all times. 10/10 we absolutely love this spot! read more

Located in the heart of Downtown Lafayette, among some of the best restaurants in the city. This is one of my favorites for savory dishes! I highly recommend their French onion soup: rich beef broth with sweet onions, herbs, and a thick piece of bread and soft melted cheese(the best that I have ever eaten!). The honey fried chicken is juicy, thick pieces of chicken, served with mashed potatoes and stir fried kale! read more

Came here for weekend brunch. I love the table seating outside. You can have dogs and it's so pleasant. As far as this experience, I don't love their weekend brunch menu. There's too many sweet options and dishes that aren't complete with a vegetable, protein, and starch. You have to choose between one or the other. Our waiter was also the least attentive man ever. He barely came by to check on us. Didn't give me a knife for my steak, took 10 minutes to come by after our food was delivered, and pre-added milk to our coffee when we requested it black. I feel like this is bare minimum. The sweet potato fries were delicious. The Brussel salad was a little dry. The sandwich with ham is good. Breakfast burrito is also good. Steak was decent but they coated it too heavily with butter that was not good. read more

Cute lunch spot in downtown Lafayette! We almost ate next door but realized it was a little too casual for what we wanted, and luckily The Hideout was right there. Perfect for a sit-down meal with nice vibes. The space is large and open, so it works well even for bigger groups. We sat indoors to avoid the outdoor wait. We ordered a mix of dishes: grilled chicken panini, smoked brisket panini, linguini & clams pasta, and steak salad. * Grilled Chicken Panini - Hearty and stacked with large pieces of chicken and plenty of lettuce. Came with sweet potato fries, which I thought were fine but a bit on the softer side (I usually prefer crispy). * Steak Salad - Refreshing with a generous mix of veggies (zucchini was a nice touch). The steak was cooked medium rare as ordered, though a few pieces were a little tough, maybe due to the cut. * Linguini & Clams - A great "palate break" from all the sandwiches. Light, zesty, and lemon-forward. Good portion of clams, though a few more would have really balanced the dish out. * Smoked Brisket Panini - Rich, flavorful, and packed with layers of brisket. A bit heavy toward the end but definitely satisfying and a great value if you're craving beef. Overall, The Hideout is a solid choice for a casual sit-down lunch in Lafayette. Good variety, generous portions, and a comfortable space to relax in. read more
It's super cute and aesthetic here - I loved the decor and vibe of the place. Service was super quick, but maybe a bit too quick. We were getting together for a girls brunch and wanted to catch up but at times, I personally felt like we were be rushed out.. who knows, maybe they just like to frequently check in on you. The food was great! I was super excited to try the garlic rice and pork silog, which exceeded my expectations - the garlic rice wasn't overly garlicky and the pork was amazingly tender and had lots of flavor! This is a MOST try here! We also ordered the morning galore, and that too was good, especially the very crispy side of sweet potatoes fries. Ube pancakes were good, I was actually expecting it to be dry because it looked dry but it was pretty moist, really tasted more like a cake but not too overly sweet. read more

Ask the Community - The Hideout Kitchen
Are there Gluten Free options besides the salads?
I'm not sure but the staff and owners are incredibly accommodating. I'd feel comfortable asking for a substitution.
Is there a kids menu for dinner?
I don't remember seeing a kids menu there. However, they do have some "small plate" options.
Are the ube pancakes and pulled pork silog only available during the weekend brunch?
Yes they are only on the brunch menu! You could always try asking ahead of time if they are open to making these dishes at other times
Does the restaurant accept reservations for brunch?
Hmmm not too sure because I walked in for a table of 2, and the host asked if it was ok that we took this table that had a reservation in 1 hour 45 mins from now. I responded with "not a problem, we only need an hour. "…
Is the honey chicken - strips?
If you're referring to the fried chicken, it is not strips.
Do they offer bottomless mimosas?
Not on the weekends. I think you can order bottomless weekdays, but I'm not sure. I know you can buy the bottle of champagne for like $25-30 and they'll give you juices to make some.
Are reservations recommended for a Saturday evening?
Is the brunch menu only on weekends and is all day or for certain hours?
A reviewer mentioned octopus salad, yet I can't find it on the menu. Was that a special, or did I misread it?
It's under. Starters
Are there any vegan options?
We offer many items on our menu to be customized to fit all dietary restrictions. Our staff is more than happy to walk anyone through our menu and what we can do for anyone.
Can I still order regular menu(lunch/dinner menu) on brunch time?
I went for brunch. I was able to order from breakfast and lunch menu, but not the dinner menu. Hope this helps.
Are there any vegan options or are we able to modify meals to make them vegan?
There are vegan options.
When is happy hour?
I don't believe they have happy hour since they don't have a bar.
Peanut allergy friendly?
I have a son that has lethal peanut allergies and he was fine. I am also very careful of what I order. We went to the restaurant for brunch.
Is breakfast only on weekends?
Yes. Breakfast on weekends only. They open at 9:00 on the weekends, later during the week.
