A friend had recommended The Hideaway for wings a while back. Since then, a number of people…read morementioned them too. I recently visited. The Hideaway is a cool neighborhood bar. Not fancy. Just functional. I was there on an NFL Sunday. There were lots of regulars. There was good interaction with the staff. I didn't catch her name, but the woman who was the only person working the bar and waiting on the tables was amazing. She was super friendly to everyone. She hustled to meet everyone's needs. It wouldn't surprise me if she is an owner too. It's hard to find people, who aren't owners, who are that committed. I asked for a wing flavor recommendation and she said "Montreal Honey" first. I ordered 6. The wings are part-baked and then finished in a fryer. Good inner and outer texture. The Montreal Seasoning was right on. The Honey didn't have much of a presence either visually or flavor-wise. More was needed to balance the salt from the Montreal Seasoning and to justify the Honey in the name. I tried both the Blue Cheese and the Ranch. I'd recommend the Blue Cheese. I'll definitely return to try more wing flavors. I also ordered a crock of chili, which was full of ground beef and topped with melted cheddar and chopped red onions. The chili was solid. I'd probably try something else before I ordered it again though. I'm a fan of Hideaway and I'll be back. 4.25 Stars

The restaurant wasn't too crowded, but there were still a fair number of people, which was nice. There were a few specials--chicken noodle soup, meatloaf, etc that seemed tempting as well. My mom wound up getting the chicken noodle soup, and she loved it! We split the pork burnt ends appetizer. If I had known how good the pork was, I would've maybe gotten the pork belly bahn mi. I know I'll have to get that next time! Because this appetizer stole the show. I absolutely will have to get it again next time. I got the fish and chips, which were stellar! They were heavy on the fish and a little lighter on the breading than I normally expect, which was nice. The fries and coleslaw were delicious too--I really loved the fries. My dad got the wings, which he picked when he saw they make their own dry rub. Really great stuff!! Heavy on the seasoning but delicious. I'll definitely be back!

The onion rings were the onion rings that you would expect when you go to a restaurant large golden crispy. I have gone there a few times within the last year and half. I have to say I do believe the quality of the food has gone downhill. The hamburger in meat it's a poor combination with more fat than beef. The onion rings are the greatest disappointment they are the exact same onion rings that you get if you go to Burger King, I wish that I could say that it was better and that I would continue to go back, but I just don't think it's cutting it any longer.

Easter vibes and great steak…read more We decided to spend Easter at Texas Roadhouse, and I'll give them this; they definitely leaned into the holiday spirit. Walking in, the floors were decorated with "Happy Easter" written in chalk, along with little eggs and chicks throughout the restaurant. Service-wise, our waitress was friendly and made sure we were taken care of, but overall things moved a bit slow. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. The manager also came by mid-meal to check on us, which I always appreciate. Now let's talk food... My 23oz porterhouse steak? AMAZING. Cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and didn't need any sauce at all. Definitely the star of the night. I also tried their "dirty soda" (strawberry coconut cream with Sprite), and it was actually really good. (well balanced and not overly sweet) The only miss for me was the loaded baked potato. I got a half block of unmelted cheddar cheese sitting on top I ended up scooping it out because I definitely prefer my cheese melted into the potato. On a positive note, our waitress made sure I got fresh (straight out of the oven) bread to take home, which I appreciated because let's be real... that bread and butter is everything.

Luckily they have an online waitlist so we joined as we were getting ready to go out. We only had to wait less than 10 minutes by the time we arrived while the waiting area was literally shoulder to shoulder. The hosts were friendly and our waiter Nick was pleasant and quick. He checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and fresh glasses of water would always magically appear as they were getting low lol. The ambiance lives up to their name. I do miss the days of peanut shells all over the floor, but it still has the same roadhouse vibes. It's definitely loud when it's busy. Our food was very good and the kitchen was prompt. I'm sure we all know by now that their rolls are addictive. I tried to stop at one but completely failed and had three... I was basically full by the time my food came . I ordered chicken critters which are chicken tenders that are lightly dredged, delightfully crispy, and well seasoned. I had a baked potato and green beans as sides. The green beans are delicious, but they are also very salty. My husband ordered a NY strip medium rare hoping that way if it was a little overcooked that it wouldn't be too far over, since he prefers it closer to medium anyway. That worked out well because most of the steak was medium with the very thickest part being just about medium rare. It was well seasoned and tasty. Unfortunately we're both spoiled for steak because he's a great cook, but it was solid. Overall we enjoyed our meal, and we'd definitely return.

Onion rings had a nice beer batter, but were a little greasy. My friend and I both agreed that the burger could have been so much better with a steamed bun. The aged cheddar added a nice sharpness and was a nice touch. I would say Lemays is comparable to Ted's. If you're in town, it's worth a one time visit at least.

Very basic but cheap and a nice dining area…read more When I talk about burger shacks, this is the place that comes to mind. The burgers are straight up ground beef, the fries are bagged and the shakes use an off the shelf soft serve mix. It's not glamorous eating, but it's functional. I'm not opposed to this style of location, so long as they are priced appropriately and they recognize their limitations. Be nice, be quick, and make it just a little better than the rest and you can thrive. Server was very nice, location does look like much from the front but the inside has a nice appearance. The food is lackluster, exactly as presented on the menu. They do grill their buns in butter, and the flavors of their soups and fries are present and front facing. Burger was overcooked and unseasoned, hot dog was grilled well though. Easy fixes though, season the patty and 1 minute quicker off the grill and everything would be much better. it's actually pretty cheap as well.$5 for a foot long hotdog and $9 for a mushroom Swiss burger is pretty reasonable. They are not a fast food joint, but they are relatively quick and the quality is better than a chain as well. This is a spot that I would imagine a family would go to for that quick bite. It's basic but better than what you would get from any of the chains around. Price is good for the quality, and it's very much a burger shack. Go in expecting that, and you'll have a good experience. Not worth a trek though

The bread and [frozen] butter made it a bit hard to manage but there was so little good bread it didn't matter. The two Caesar salads were large and fresh and contained good cheese shavings. Mine was dressed properly but companion's was a bit wet. The mashed potato side was excellent but the broccoli was not crisp and not hot enough. The tomahawk cut of meat was very good and presented off the bone [which was taken home as an upcoming art project]. It was cooked medium rare and crusted beautifully. Two affogatos made to my simple preference [not the over-done creation on the menu]. All in all a very good meal and a true bargain for what was offered. The service was excellent even as he dining room began to fill up. I think every table had ordered the Tomahawk for Two. As I mentioned in an earlier review, the ambiance reminds me of a private club somewhere in central Europe. Thanks to the chef and waitstaff for a delightful evening.
