    Local kitchen
    S H.

    I walked into the "local kitchen " where they served items from The Melt. I placed order in lobby on machine tablet. I ordered 2 Melt burgers with cheese & a Parmesan garlic fries with no melt spice for my children. Awesome idea the Local kitchen has for giving people different food options under 1 roof. Burgers $8.29 & fries $4.39 pre tax & pre "living wage " %

    Plain greasy french fries. No taste either.

    Politely the melt has just fallen off my go to list. I've ordered from them twice before. I thought until today they had the best burger ever. Well that has come and gone, the burger was burnt and overcooked. I did not enjoy the burger the way I did in the past. They ran out of sweet potato fries. I can see why those sweet potato fries were the best. They substituted one garlic and one plain fry for the two sweet potato fries I originally ordered. I should have passed on the substitutes. Nothing lasts forever but this place didn't last very long as my go to burger spot. One other thing. They put the pickle with the burger. Hot pickle, not crispy is not good a good Pickle

    I left some feedback through the Local Kitchen and they listened. My second order was cooked just about right and tasted much better overall.

    Mini Mac and the BBQ Melt Burger! Omg so good. Exactly the perfect sized lunch after a walk around the reservoir.

    Omg! Such a delicious lunch! The mini Mac and the BBQ melt burger. I'm always looking for a good burger!! Yum

I ordered the Toscana sandwich with 24-month prosciutto, burrata, truffle honey, and arugula, and I can confidently say it was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life--and that's coming from someone who has traveled all over Europe, including Italy. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh, and the combination of flavors was just unreal. I got mine extra toasted, and it came out perfect--warm, crispy, and honestly tasted like it was made fresh out of the garden. The quality really stands out. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The price is absolutely worth it for the quality you're getting.

I did the "make your own". It was missing half the ingredients I asked for (pistachio cream, prosciutto, burrata and tomatoes. It came with no tomato's or pistachio - and they put a ton of arugula on (which I hate). And it's all throughout the burrata so I can't just pick it out. I asked what happened since the receipt was correct / and they said that they were busy. Definitely don't care about their customers. Very disappointed- I will say that what I ate of it was really tasty- but wasn't much left when I picked through all the arugula

He's placing the brisket in my serving box and says. "Oh, by the way we are out of sauce." I arrived just before 2:00 PM. I asked for a cup for the soda machine, that's not working. Choice is Coke or Sprite. The collard greens were the only side they had left. They were good. Brisket had a nice smoke taste but could have used a little sauce. I can't remember going to a bbq place that has run out of sauce. I also can't remember ordering an entree and not getting at least 1 side included in the price. I was charged for a small greens after paying $31 for the brisket. Maybe I tried them on an off day.

The consistency between locations is incredible, they had so much of the same feel. I loved the patio and that you could sit across on the lawn if you wanted. They even have lawn chairs for you to borrow. The menu is limited but good. I was surprised they didn't have a sav blanc, but the sangrias were delicious. I got a vegan ceasar which was great, but probably too much dressing. My fiancé got a pork quesadilla that he absolutely loved. He was a very very big fan of the salad on top and said it played a huge role in making the dish cohesive and feel much lighter. I also tried the corn pasta which was delicious.

If you live in the Bay Area, you already know. Ike's sandwiches always delivers. I've never had a bad sandwich but personally my favorite sandwich is usually the Madison Bumgarner. It always scratches my itch for BBQ. However I recently decided to try the famous Mat Cain sandwich. I think I might have a new favorite sandwich now... The Mat Cain is heavy protein with Beef, Salami and Turkey. I think ultimately it's more Beef forward but the Salami and Godfather sauce really evolve the sandwich. If you love prime rib. Order this sandwich. If you are a fan of mustard. Order this sandwich. If you are a long time fan of Ikes and have yet to try the Mat Cain...ORDER THIS SANDWICH. Good lord is tasty. The Godfather sauce is so addicting. You think it's just a fancy mustard but then the next second you think that it's actually a horseradish. I really think the horseradish radish flavor is such a genius idea because it pairs so well with the Beef. Just like the mustard pairs so well with the Salami. Theres just so many layers to this sandwich. God. The more I talk about this. The more I just want to order this again.

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.

Our server was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. For brunch, we ordered the Pulled Pork Silog, Fried Chicken & Waffles, and Kids Ube Pancake. Pulled Pork Silog - Delicious! The flavor was spot-on, and the pulled pork was really tasty. My only issue was the fried rice--it felt slightly undercooked, as I could still barely feel the individual rice grains. Fried Chicken & Waffles - Crispy and good! The chicken had a nice crunch and paired well with the waffles. Kids Ube Pancake - Delicious and, most importantly, not too sweet! The sweetness was just right, and our daughter loved it so much she finished the whole thing. That's always a good sign! Overall, we enjoyed our brunch and our little Lafayette adventure. It was nice discovering a quieter side of the Bay Area, and finally putting that gift card to good use!
