I come here pretty regularly. the last 3 times prior to today has made me question if I should even return. Tonight the service from Reagan was absolutely amazing. she was attentive, she checked in pretty regular and very personable. She knew her stuff and this honestly has been the best service I have ever received while dining here over the last two years. This type of service keeps me coming back. As long as regean continues to waitress here's I will keep returning. some of the other waitresses have very poor attitudes and rolls there eyes right in front of you. read more

We were there a week ago! Excellent food and reasonably priced! Also, our waitress Ellen was very attentive and helpful! We definitely will go back! read more

First time here was a First date night. The atmosphere and the vibe of the place was inviting. The staff was working well together and the food! Om my. Had prime rib, very well seasoned. read more

Very nice cozy country place. It's not very far from 86. Everything is homemade and delicious. I had the smoked ham and cheese melt on rye. It was carved from the bone ham. Sooooo good! My friend had ribeye beef on weck and it was great as well. Decent portions. Great waitress. The only down side was that the parking lot was pure ice. Very scary. They should have it salted. read more

We waited for over two hours , and although the fish was delicious the wait time was too long for us to come again... So disappointing... read more

Although the food was good the waiter was in a crazy rush. I don't eat appetizers because there's always too much food. With that hubby does. He ordered wings split. Garlic and med. they were great except they came with his dinner and mine. She didn't even give us enough time to complete our salad or cocktail. If you're trying to have a quick meal and hurriedly then this is the place. If you're trying to enjoy some courses I don't suggest coming here. We got dessert to go so we wouldn't be hurried through that too. The entire meal took less than an hour. Appetizer, cocktails, salads, main course and dessert $100 for two people and we were rushed every second. read more

BBQ pork chop was extremely tough and sauce was simply poured on after cooking. Partner's lemon chicken had no lemon flavor. Waitress was nice. Ambiance was good. read more

We were a table of 4 who waited 35 minutes to be seated as advised by the greater. No problem, we had a drink while waiting. After being seated we were waited on promptly. Then we ended up waiting over 2 hours for our fish dinners on a Friday night! The fish was good, but no fish fry is worth a two hour wait! We will never be going back. read more

Favorite local go-to spot. Very good food and best service anywhere. We really appreciate the friendly, attentive waitstaff!

Cute place with decent food and very nice wait staff. Perfect spot for a quick lunch after hiking or another outdoor activity.

Have been there many times and always enjoyed the meal and their prices were reasonable. On 11/17/23 went there for a fish fry, and it was very good. I understand inflation but I think they raised their prices too high. We had 2 fish fries, one with gravy on the fries, a glass of wine and a beer, $59.24. read more

I'm not recommended this restaurant. They are in the middle no where. Long drive to the restaurant and bread or roll's bought up on table are super cold. They charge excessive small amount fee such as open table fee and administration fee 4.07% if you use credit card. Men's bathroom tiny and if you are thin person. read more

If you happen to be on the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86, NY 17) between Salamanca and Jamestown, it's worth getting off at the Steamburg exit for this gem. Located in a unassuming building is a restaurant with a very friendly welcome, a well-stocked bar, and a large menu with good homestyle food. We arrived early on a Saturday evening and the place was nearly full for their prime rib / seafood buffet which contained everything one could want for a filling meal. Two options existed, one plateful or all-you-could eat, both at reasonable prices. To start, I had a tasty salad with house ranch dressing and my wife had French Onion soup. We opted for menu items: steak and garlic shrimp, and a queen prime rib (not off the buffet). We both had twice baked potato and a little side of fruit garnished each plate. If Hide-a-Way wasn't 2+ hours away, we'd be frequent visitors. But it was a beautiful day to enjoy the fall foliage and take a long ride. They are just outside of Allegany State Park and a half hour from Holiday Valley ski resort in Ellicottville. Just don't go on E-ville's fall festival (as we did) or you'll be stuck in the biggest traffic backup imaginable! read more

Camping nearby, tired after setting up so we ordered food for takeout. It was awesome!

Food was pretty good. They are a little ticky Tacky ..charged container fees for extra 35.00 Order to go. We spent total of over 90.00 that nite. Table legs were uneven , waitress was very nice. Overall ..owners could do more to run a classy business. But most of their customers are kind of hillbillies so they probably are not motivated. read more

Great Food and Service!!! Prime Rib is great. Great seafood. Clean and good cooks. Both Owners work to ensure quality food.

For reg customers I would say the restaurant, servers and bartenders are very nice and curtious. But as owners you don't tell regular customers, u have a complaint every weekend. If there's a complaint find out what it is and fix it!! Don't sit at the bar drinkin like nothing is wrong w anything. Didn't even ask what the complaint was, just walked away. Rude very unprofessional. read more

Outside seating was very pleasant and food and service was good. Sorry but customers were not wearing masks and I was disappointed.

Stopped in for the the first time on a Sunday. Very impressed. I believe our waitress was the owner, she was very nice and informative. We started with the buffalo crunch sticks with sweet chili salsa sauce for dipping. Think battered egg roll wrapper filled with chicken wing dip. Nice crunch and a little spice, but was off set with the dipping sauce. Two of us ordered prime rib. One princess cut, one King, both lived up to their name. They were well seasoned and grilled on the outside while being cooked perfectly on the inside. I had a tasty twice baked potato while my sister had fresh cut fries. They could have used a little more time in the fryer, as the middles were uncooked. Our third party member got the pasta primavera. Mixed vegetable medley served on top of a heaping portion of linguine noodles with a light delicious garlic butter sauce. The atmosphere is no frills, but it was clean and quaint. There is a dining room and a bar area. The bar has a lighter menu, burgers, fingers, wings. The waitress told us she will serve either menu in either room, you just have to ask. It's located just off highway 86 Steamburg exit. If you're in the area it's definitely worth a stop. read more

Hide-A-Way Restaurant - Princess cut prime rib with a twice baked potato. Delicious - American Near Me - Steamburg, New York

ALERT! Covid to-go rip off. If I could leave 0 stars I would. We order 2 lbs of crab legs and some stuffed mushrooms($12). Paid 42 dollars, we barely got a pound of crab. This place is more like a highway robbery. Called and was told nothing they could do heard the kitchen staff in the back being rude. Save your time and go buy frozen from Walmart then deal with this read more

Hide-A-Way Restaurant - Crab legs - American Near Me - Steamburg, New York

First timer here. I probably drove by this place five hundred times and never stopped because I thought it was a dive bar in the middle of nowhere. We stopped tonight and were not disappointed. Even though the decor was nothing fancy, the food was pretty darn good. Portions were perfect and it was tasty. Staff was really friendly and accommodating. Why not 5 stars? Two reasons: 1. Took a while to get appetizers and main dish 2. Not handicap accessible I would definitely stop by here again. Maybe on a Wednesday for their burger and all you can eat fries night (saw it on a sign)! read more

food service are excellent! ambiance is a beautiful old house/building well preserved and very warm and friendly!

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Corning, NY. The waitress was very accommodating. I ordered fish fries and my husband ordered chicken fingers. The portion was huge. Everything was fresh. The price was very reasonable. read more

Went for the first time last night. We made a reservation and our table was waiting for us when we got there. Service was great, very friendly. We both had the fish fry which was delicious. The coating was crispy and thin, not greasy and thick. The fries are fresh cut and the cole slaw homemade...both very tasty. We both got soup with our meal...you have a choice of soup or salad...homemade and delicious...the clam chowder was loaded with clams. You also got fresh, hot rolls. Absolutely no complaints...can't wait to go back! read more

Stopped here after a backpacking trip. Very Unassuming place, just a house with a small bar and maybe 10 tables in the dining room. Rustic and basic décor. Sunday was the dinner buffet for $12 a head. Maybe 8 entries and 5 sides, and a few extras, but just about every one of them was beyond perfect home-style cooking. Million times better than your typical great American golden ponderosa coral buffet that might have more items, but don't come near on the quality.... The baked chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly; Kielbasa was the best I've ever eaten, beyond succulent.... Salsbury steak was prepared the right way ( I will never look at a swanson meal again),...stuffed chicken breasted was tender covered in creamy goodness.... Stuffed peppers were as g good as grandma made. Real old style scalloped potatoes and mashed potatoes with chicken gravy. I could go on but I would probably make me crave it all and end up driving the 3 hours back There was also a salad bar,( mainly for show with the main attractions listed above)), and wide selections of deserts. I had bread pudding which was spiced perfectly with a cream dollop of cream, and a slice of peanut butter mousse cake which was better than some $10 deserts I've had at high end restaurants This was just the buffet too, regular menu looked very appealing as well. Someone ordered a burger and the portions look ginormous, so regardless you won't leave hungry. There were two or so items that were just "above average", and even if all the items were at that level it would still be a positive experience, but the majority of the items were on a whole other level for home-style cooking. If I am ever in SW NY/ NW PA again I would go out of my way. PS the map on yelp is incorrect. The address is right but it's mapped wrong. It is not in randolph, but rather off the Steamburg exit just west of the reservoir. Head north then Veer left and it will be on the left. read more

Great food in a casual, local setting. The menu is extensive and the specials are worth checking out. I went with a recommendation from some long-time customers - the stuffed halibut. It's a huge piece of fish, stuffed with krab (with a k) and homemade stuffing. And then smothered in butter. It's delicious, but HUGE. For the side, try the twice-baked potato. Can't go wrong with bacon and cheese. Prices are eminently reasonable. All entrees are under $20, and will fill you up and then some. It does get rather crowded, so if you plan on coming with a crowd, make reservations. read more

Shannon is amazing, the food was more then New England Clam Chowderamazing. Everyone there was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Signs in the place were fun to read, I would definitely recommend! read more

I just had an exceptional meal at the Hide-A-Way. They have remodeled the inside and added outside seating too. I had a porterhouse steak medium rare that was incredible. My husband had garlic Parmesan walleye. Both meals were a ten. We ate ate the back deck and watched customers chip balls to their new artificial putting green. Very relaxing. read more

Great place. Price is great for what you get. Try the bar steak. Also try filet. Friendly staff and good beer. Fish fry is great. Southern tier beer too!! read more

Yelp helped us find this hidden gem on our long drive back to our home in Ithaca,NY from Cleveland, OH (our hometown)! It was so comforting to eat a large home cooking style meal after leaving our family and sitting in the car for a few hours! My favorite buffet items were the baked breaded chicken legs, macaroni and cheese, and the stuffed mushrooms! The service was great and we will definitely be back next time we are on 86 headed toward Cleveland again! It's right off the highway and there is no wait for the buffet so it is a perfect alternative to McDonald's! It's faster and obviously so much better!! read more

I have been several times we always made it a point to hit this place for dinner while camping. The food used to be out of this world but the last couple times it's just been ok. Something has changed in the past 18 months. read more

One of our favorite spots for a fish fry! I always get the New England clam chowder (nice meaty clams) and my wife the potato cheddar bacon soup (it's like mashed potatoes in a cup!) The fry is a generous portion and very good! I've had the broil also which is on par with the fry. The staff is always friendly, timely and attentive. read more

Yum! Everything is good! Try the burgers!!! Beef on weck is delicious too! They have good old fashioned, yummy tasting food! Comfort food at its best! read more

We found this restaurant while staying in Ellicottville, NY. What a great atmosphere, service, price, and food. I would definitely take a road trip just to eat there again. Hands down the best all around. read more

What a nice place. We stopped in last night for a beer and a sandwich. Very friendly and attentive. Good prices. Interesting decor. We will make it a regular stop for lunch or dinner. read more

My family and I stumbled across this restaurant and thought it was great! It seems the specials are definitely the way to go- great food at a great price! It can get crowded, so reservations are recommended, but worth it! read more

Great food, good service. We are locals and love to come here! Especially on snowmobiles :-) One warning, you will need reservations on the weekend! The buffet is to die for! Very very good!!!! read more

The reviews brought us in. The restaurant is convenient to the freeway. The place is clean and casual. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The menu has a large selection of main dishes with prices that were on the higher side. Our party tried the stuffed mushrooms and warm rolls which were good. We also had bacon cheddar soup (potatoes were too large, but generous amounts of cheese and bacon) and french onion soup. Both were too hot to eat. After a wait, our entrees arrived and were also too hot to comfortably enjoy. We tried the stroganoff which was made with prime rib (too much sauce), broiled seafood platter, and veal oscar (the veal was somewhat tough). The portions were generous. Finding a way to control the temperatures would go a long way. read more

Our large party of 10 on Easter Sunday was asked to leave after 1.5hrs, our time limit for our reservation was up (we didn't know there was a time limit). The way they told us and handled it was very rude. Told us they didn't care if we ever returned. Classy stuff. read more

Our family favorite! We love going here for a Friday night dinner, and we always love the food. Local favorite. Get the fish fry -- the best you will have in hundreds of miles around. Delicious generous portions that are perfectly cooked but never heavy or overly filling. Highly recommended restaurant if you're looking for a simple yet quality meal in a no-frills environment. read more
