    Three of us had brunch on Easter. Got seated promptly and waitress was fantastic! Service was great and we all enjoyed our food choices. Sat outside on a beautiful day. We will definitely make this one of our regular restaurants.

    We celebrated a dinner with friends we had not seen in years. We had a cozy table in the back where we were served promptly and consistently but never in an interrupting way so we could all visit. The food quality was fantastic. We had a wonderful time. The only suggestion we could make might be for more sound insulation so we could hear better. This restaurant continues to impress.

    We enjoyed our brunch at the Hideout. The French toast was the best I’ve had; shrimp with grits was very good. The grits were creamy and flavored well. My husband’s pork silog was excellent. Everyone was kind and hospitable. We will definitely be back!!

    Food and service were both excellent. Our party had a delicious dinner with the lamb chops, hamburger and fried chicken. The vibe was great-especially for a Thursday night.

    Our server was pleasant and warm smile. However, she needed to be more attentive. We had to keep calling her for this and that. She almost never came to check on us. The food was mixed. One child menu, the pasta was too hard to eat. One appetizer not very good. Pork Chop was tough and tasteless, yet other stuff was good.

    I love the fried chicken with honey, kale salad and mashed potatoes. It has gotten pricey but overall is still fairly reasonable since we have always shared it. The outer fried coating is thick and crunchy with the chicken inside is moist and tender. It was a lovely evening to eat outdoors. I like spaced service where you feel like you aren't rushed but the waitress is also attentive. I really appreciate that when I had my birthday brunch here back in October Hideout was flexible and accommodating. Thanks as always for a great meal.

    The overall experience was just okay, but the service left much to be desired. Our waiter seemed rushed and gave us little time to review the menu, which made us feel pressured to order quickly. Once the food arrived, we felt similarly rushed to finish, which took away from the enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, the noise level in the restaurant was uncomfortably high, making conversation difficult. Unfortunately, the service quality did not match the expectations for a relaxed dining experience.
