Ah Gott's-- a California micro chain, brothers who bought a roadside diner and turned it into…read moremultiple locations in the Bay Area (always welcome fact checking). It's not somewhere you got your way to find, but if you're in Walnut Creek downtown area hanging out or shopping, it's a good option to swing by and eat to relax and/or catch up with friends. Ask for extras of the house ranch. It's great to pair with the burgers. California burger (17.99): only burger I've tried, it's solid but the meat is on the drier side and l expensive for what it is Vietnamese chicken (15.99): most popular salad, pretty good Citrus and avocado chop (15.99): refreshing and all the ingredients work well together. Taste wise I still think the Vietnamese chicken is better though. Garlic fries (4.99): they are good, but a bit greasy. They pair well with the house mustard.

Service is main reason for rating. Food: got Asado tacos -…read morewhich are grilled taco's. (2) they were good - and while served with a small cup of sliced jalapeño's and limes; it was missing some sort of Aioli or spicy dressing Ambiance: nice big place, clean. Good menu display, large variety of items Price: a bit high priced - my 2 taco's and 1 drink came out to $23.59 Service: Hostess greeting me was very pleasant, and informative. My first visit and she explained how it all works; politely and very agreeable. Fortunately, even though it was noon; I was only one at the desk and she could spend some time. As I walked away, I saw a crowd of folks walk in and start lining up to order, so I got in just ahead of the lunch rush. Got my pager, my napkins and a table. Soon I saw a mother, her daughter and child sit nearby. I noticed because they were at the register as I was finished with my transaction. Soon they had their THREE items in front of them, enjoying. OK, sometimes that happens, they all had burgers & fries; maybe fish tacos take longer? But as I continued to wait, I thought I didn't know how the pager worked, so stopped another very polite, agreeable young girl wiping tables if the pager was supposed to buzz when ready and she confirmed. Still I waited. I arrived at 12Noon and it was now closing in on 12:30pm (for 2 fish tacos???) Finally I went up to the Pick up desk to ask about it. Perhaps an error in the kitchen and mine was forgotten - it happens. She looked at the pager (302) and clocked they were putting out orders in the 500 range and went back. She said it was being worked on now and would be out "shortly". Again I waited another 10 minutes and again went to the Pickup counter, same girl took a look at me and said it is "coming up now". I mentioned that it was really taking a long time. So I decided to camp out and wait. A few minutes later she came out with the taco's and told me that current process time was 15-20 minutes and it was exactly 20 minutes to prepare my taco's. It was the "we did nothing wrong, we are within our acceptable limits, so no complaints from you" attitude that was irritating. I wasn't about to get into disagreement about the time I placed the order vs. now - I didn't have the receipts to back up my timeline - I doubt she did too. My sense is that my order got forgotten, and coming up to ask about it, discovered it and they quickly made the order. Had she merely apologized for the oversight, I could have been polite and accepted it as "stuff happens". I'm not on the clock, didn't have to be back at work - so easily an oversight I could deal with. But instead she made it far worse with her attitude. No one ever told me it would take 15 - 20 minutes - what if I was on a lunch break, that would eat up most of the break time. I get it, working with the public in food service can be extremely challenging at times. But a simple apology for the time inconvenience can soothe a lot of negativity. And that Mother, daughter, child who came in after me; and had a full meal of hamburgers, fries and a drink? They were completely done, and left the table as I brought my taco's back to my table. It definitely wasn't 20 minutes.

It sounded like they were short of service support and may have been short in the kitchen, but they covered a busy Sunday late afternoon pretty well. It started with us placing an order with a fountain drink. The single server ran over to our table to bring us our cup. We ordered the truffle mushroom burger with onion rings and the quinoa burger with fries. It took a bit to get our food and we heard the server apologizing but he was in a constant run to help everyone. The truffle mushroom burger was great! Really had a nice truffle flavor. The quinoa burger we nice and juicy. Onion rings were nice and crispy and the fries were pretty good. Plenty of seating with tables and booths. Overall, this place is a solid option for a burger,

Moved out here recently and just happened to stumble upon the name and immediately had to get my hands in this burger. It did not disappoint! It's so hard to find a tasty veggie burger that's not dried out with a nasty after taste. This my friends, is an absolute MUST!! The quinoa and brown rice are cooked to perfection and for the most part, the patty keeps it shape. Plus the outside is just slightly crispy, giving the patty a good crunch! This paired with their side salad was enough to satisfy my decades long craving!! As always, this place has plenty of seating inside and out.

It's hard to go get a burger at any restaurant nowadays cause I always compare it to this one now so I usually have to wait until I'm hungry enough to eat a whole one so I can consume at peak tastiness. My favs so far: California burger, mushroom Swiss and a standard issue hamburger if I want a burger but don't think I can finish the additional toppings lol The fries (straight n curly) are equally delicious but we can barely finish the burgers so it's best if u get em when u have friends to share with.

The fries are thin-cut and crispy, the kind you keep picking at after you're full. Staff was attentive and actually helpful, not just going through the motions. Came in on a weekday and it wasn't crowded, so service was quick. They've got 80s music playing, which set a nice low-key mood for lunch. There's outdoor seating if you want it, and they take Apple Pay, which is handy. The drink selection is better than you'd expect for a burger place. Decent beer list plus a few whites and reds, so it works for a casual dinner too, not only a quick lunch. Nothing here blew me away enough for five stars, but nothing went wrong either. It's a reliable spot to grab a good burger without much fuss. Go on a weekday if you want it quiet, and get the Classic. The fries are worth adding.

Pros - Friendly cashier, good assortment of beer and ciders, dog-friendly…read more Neutral - Loud music outside. Cons - No employee approached a male dog owner over his pit bull excessively howling / yelping over another dog. A couple yelps, fine. It kept going, it was loud, the silver-haired Boomer was taking his sweet time to ( not ) control his dog with respect to other people in the patio area. So, dogs are preferred over people, no one on staff to politely ask the man to control the dog immediately? One more thing: the barking was such a nuisance that I and another customer were looking back at the owner to see if he was taking care of it, the customer quipped about the dog going to be attacking him, if anything, I joked that I'd be fine, he then suddenly held up the numbered signage for his order ( w/ metal stand ) saying he was going to hit me with it. ( No light-hearted tone, moreso irritated and aggressive. ) And this is how suddenly bad things happen, how a customer spews out a verbal threat ( technically criminal assault ), linked to an out-of-control situation with a pet owner and his dog and a restaurant that won't do anything about it. Simple Solution: Train employees ( or remind them ) to assertively and cordially request owners to keep their dogs peaceful and quiet. Otherwise, it's sweeping a problem under the rug. Not smart nor respectful of other customers. Being Fair: If you like the energy of a loud restaurant, whether it's music and/or dogs barking, then you should be fine, drinks and all. If you love dogs, yet want them responsibly controlled in an environment where you seek to maintain an actual meaningful conversation, this establishment is a roll of the dice.

Usually I don't like burgers with lots of sauces and topping as they get messy but these are always really well assembled (I've noticed they toast the outside of the bottom bun/heel to help hold it together, which I've never seen elsewhere) and easy to eat. Garlic fries are also very good. I tried the cheese katsu once and it was good but nothing special: multiple fried pieces instead of one big cutlet and served with a sort of premade rice ball and burger topping sides. Would get the regular pork or chicken if I got one again but really it's hard to pass up on the burgers here.

This area has homeless, but it's fine during the day. The only issue I have with this place is the interior design and lighting. It's stale and unattractive with office lighting and horrible off-white colors. If they changed the aesthetic inside and make it more like an old-school burger joint, they would get a lot more business.

Okay, we ordered from the server and showed her our coupon. I order the Vegan burger which is a bean burger with cheddar cheese and hubby went with the mushroom burger. We had to have an order of fries and had it half sweet potato and half traditional. We were given cups for water without needing to ask. Nice! The wait wasn't long and the amount of fries is really impressive. We preferred the sweet potato fries because they had some more crispiness on the outside and were seasoned more. I enjoyed my burger and grateful for the knife and fork because it quickly became messy to eat. Hubby enjoyed his burger because of the generous toppings and bun. He said the burger could have used more seasoning. We eyed all the shakes coming out, with envy. Next time! On a Friday at 7pm, parking was plentiful. Come on out for a burger, fries and a shake!

I like my fries crispy, which is what I asked for; they were not but they were pretty good. My only complaint is go easy on the salt.

Not the case here, but still just a tad too much for me personally. Everyone is the place was very nice and professional. If you're in the area, you should check them out.

As for the food itself, the burger is juicy and not heavy at all. Usually when I eat Super Duper, I feel heavy and can taste the oil. Here the burger is flavorful, but not heavy.

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!

First visit for a weekday lunch with a group. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing given the…read morequality and prices. 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.
