As boaters, we always park on the lake. There is a fair amount of seating, although inside are high tops which is tough for some people. The bar needs to have more plastic wine glasses for outside. I don't live drinking that beverage in a tumbler. My spaghetti sauce was very tasty. Everyone liked their meals too. The prices are reasonable. read more

So California Boy (that would be me) flew into Wisco to visit the family this week. Wisco Boy (that would be my younger brother) throws four of us into the car and we end up here. Where is here? I do not have a clue. There were a lot of turns and unmarked streets....thanks to the genius who invented GPS....cuz I would have surrendered if I had to use the Ole Thomas Guide ...I mean look at the Hideaway's address!! I can't even decipher that thing....it looks like coordinates for calling in a mortar attack... Anyway, we sit in the outdoor patio, and the wonderful Liv took care of us. Cocktail? Don't mind if I do, Young Liv. A warmup margarita, and then one of their award winning Bloody Mary's. Seriously. They just won some humongous Bloody Mary Contest on the Summerfest Grounds. Verdict: terrific! Get one! As for food, the four of us dined on a Cobb Salad, a smash burger (topped by cheese curds!), chicken Caesar wrap, and I forgot the fourth meal because I was focused on the Bloody Mary. All I know is that we were truly impressed by the quality food coming out of the kitchen. My "bar by the lake" expectations were low because, hey, we are here to drink by the lake. But they are truly putting out an excellent product from the kitchen. If you have been here, you know. If you haven't, come. You will enjoy the atmosphere, service, food, and cocktails. But use your GPS or I will NOT be responsible for you wandering the earth until the end of time.... read more

Best bloodies on the lake. Great, laid back atmosphere. Come out and chill and don't rush through the experience. Food is good. Lots of boat parking. read more

Great service, cold drinks, very good food with great daily specials. Fun activities all week like painting and bingo. Bands Saturday occasionally. A fun time! read more

The patio is right in front of the lake with the best view on Okauchee Lake! Servers and bartenders are the best!

Drinks were fine. We had an appetizer and the chips were stale. Sat inside the bar and the music was really loud for such s small area. read more

Such a relaxed astrosphere and amazing food. Everything we had was great flavor. Friendly waitstaff. Will be back. Bang bang shrimp is the best! read more

My friends and I had a great time at Hideaway today. The food was awesome and the bartenders were friendly and fast. We grabbed drinks and food and had friends pick us up with their boat from the bar. The nightlife after surfing was the best in town. read more

Hideaway Bar and Grill - a group of women on a boat - American Near Me - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

Had my wife's birthday party here and everything was great! Food was good and considerably fast for a group of 30 people. Alexis was great to work with and was able to split checks and even did some decorating for the party! Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon. read more

This is one of the best places for a fantastic and enjoyable meal and a cocktail. Staff is very nice, food was great and the view is awesome. It's a place to RELAX and have fun at. We will definitely be back. read more

we went this morning at 9:30am for breakfast with our out of town guests. The waitress informed us their power is out and generator is on, so no coffee and a few other items on the menu. We proceeded to order and was glad we ordered before the place filled up. 1.5 hr later we see other tables getting their food before ours, our waitress was no help informing us status of our food or refilling our drinks. We asked to leave and she said the chef was boxing our food up, so we decided to pay and eat the food there. 15min later still no food, the "boxing" part was clearly a lie or maybe a gimmick they play on their customers. We told the waitress to cancel our order and we will be canceling the transaction with our credit card company. This was one of the worst dining experiences and we will NOT be going back. No respect for their customers or a sense of customer service. read more

I know, I know - how many people claim to have been "in the business" and therefore expect their opinion to be taken a bit more seriously? However, I am gonna be that guy! Been responsible for many places, many years. We have been coming to this place for years simply because it is on the lake and is nice to stop at to chill with a drink on the patio when you want to take a break from the water. Was always fun and relaxed, if a bit seedy. Now, though, it is under new ownership and has been extensively remodeled and dressed up cosmetically. DO NOT BE FOOLED!! Service behind the bar is dismal and VERY unfriendly. Surly and unwelcoming is how I would describe it. ( The patio staff remains pleasant and accommodating). It's said that you can judge the quality of a place by it's restrooms, a maxim I firmly agree with. It is obvious that no one at the Hideaway gives a damn about sanitation, cleanliness, appearance or comfort. We stopped in two weeks ago, there was a huge "spit" ( tobacco) stain on top of the urinal that was STILL THERE two weeks later! As with the last time, there was no toilet paper (men's or women's) and both garbage cans overflowing onto the floor. The commode rim itself was covered with old urine and had clearly not been flushed since it last use. ( The presence of solid waste a dead giveaway!) While the food coming out of the kitchen to the patio seems to look presentable, I would never take the chance that there is one iota of care given to safe and sanitary food practices here. I can only imagine how disgusting it must be behind the scenes when the place doesn't even care about it's public / common areas. Anyway, enough. Suffice to say that I will no longer patronize this place. It's too bad - with so few places to stop on the lake it would be nice if this one treated it's business base with some respect. You'd be hard pressed to find a dirtier place to eat! read more

Had a pretty good time here. I only went once and it was for a bikini competition. Drinks were good, food was delicious. Pretty good crowd. It's right on the lake so there's lots of people coming and going from the boats. It's fun, its just a little small and compact. They always have events going on which is awesome! I think that's a great way to keep the community involved. read more

Hideaway Bar and Grill - Outside bar - American Near Me - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

See all

Ordered before we got there. was told it would be an hour to get out food. 3hrs later we still didn't have our food. Got a refund a left. Not worth your time read more

Great little gem on Okauchee Lake, patio overlooks the lake, great menu with lots to choose from, prices are very reasonable, food is delicious, staff is friendly and eager to please you. Highly recommend this place. read more

I recommend going if you are a local only. The waitstaff seemed more interested in planning what meals to get themselves than helping my husband and me. The waitress had no idea what the specials were and forgot about our drinks. When we asked, she first tried to blame the bartender for taking a break but then realized the drinks were made and waiting for her. The food was delicious! I have no idea what anything cost because the waitress just told us our total and using the POS system told us to check the "no receipt" button. When we requested the receipt she couldn't figure out how to print it, then couldn't even find our order in the system. I can say that the waitress's mom's table got exceptional service from the 2 waitresses. read more

This place was terrible. We showed up after the dinner rush was over. We sat for 10 minutes before we got our drinks, then the waitress finally showed up and took our order (with an attitude) and proceeded to disappear with no word from her for 35-40 minutes. Went inside to get another's drink from the bar and still never saw her. 10 more minutes with still no service so we went in to tell them we wanted to pay for our drinks and leave. The waitress then came out as we were pushing our chairs in and walking out. On top of the terrible service, the crowd was loud and lewd including the creepy people groping each other at the next table. Not even deserving of 1 star but you can't post the review without a star.... read more

Like many reviews said before...don't come here. I didn't listen and I regret it. Food is bad and service is worse. It's busy because it is on the lake and they have built in customers. I would never come back here and I urge you to take your business elsewhere. Unless you are coming here and you are already drunk looking to get more drunk...there are several other lake country options. read more

Don't come here! Literally waited over 45 minutes to be waited on by a server, as the servers kept walking by our table saying they would find us our server. A lady was walking around in her bra barefoot, and there was children watching. The bathrooms had no toilet paper and there was garbage all over the floor. Our table never got service and we ended up leaving after waiting outside in 90 degree weather for food and drinks for almost an hour. Don't waste your time like we did. read more

Wish I could give zero stars. Don't come here. Sat here for a hour was not acknowledged and we ended up leaving and going elsewhere

Best place to go out to eat on okauchee lake. Awesome atmosphere. I feel like it's my second home on the lake.

The place is a hidden gem for the view and appetizers your directly on the lake. Locals recommended this place to me and I thought I was lost it is literally on a dead end road that travels through a housing addition and ends at the hideaway. The locals told us stories of al Capone being in this area and that is kinda where the name came from . My house special chicken sandwich was dry but appetizers were a 5 TRY THE JALAPEÑO BACON CREAM CHEESE EGG ROLLS THEY ARE AMAZING. If your in the area and wanna drink and have an amazing view of the lake here it is you are lake level and feet away read more

I ordered the nachos supreme, just average at best. Small portion not much meat, meat hardly any cheese and not even one spec of jalapeño.

Every time we have been to the Hideaway, we have had terrible service but we keep giving it a try because it's on the lake. This last time, we went for breakfast and waited an hour for eggs despite being only the second people there. We watched people who arrived after us get served first. When we complained to the manager, he told us they serve "regulars" first. We give up - we won't be going back. read more

Service was slow. Food was not good. Would not bother. Wasted time and money here.

If you are looking for a quiet, not so crowded place to get lake front seating in a relaxed outdoors no-frills place, this is for you. The food is actually really quite good- think bar food... Chicken wings and fries. It's really inexpensive as well. It's kid friendly - with an oversized Adirondack chair that the kids just can't get enough of. The patio furniture is very basic - some hard plastic and somewhat mismatched but you can't get any closer to the water. read more

I go for the food. Tenderloin tidbits are to die for. I'm not big on the atmosphere inside but I don't like the bar scene!

Good people great happy hour with drinks but wait till spring/summer for the restaurant part to open. Under Construction

The food is good as are the drinks. The service is horrid and the management obviously doesn't care. Don't come unless you have lots of patience. read more

Horrible service. Went by boat and ordered food to take out. Victoria was bartender on duty. Slower than molasses. Music was some rap shit. Dirty outside dirty inside. Touch condiments then touched her hair. Gross. Cooler door to freezer was filthy. Been there several times once again bad service. Food was nothing to write home about it sat in g he windows for 10 minutes before we were given. Drug induced bar. read more

The service at this place is so slow you might skip a birthday while waiting for either a drink or food. With each change of ownership you keep hoping that somebody will figure out how to make people want to come back. Apparently not yet. The food isn't bad but you'll lose weight waiting for it read more

Love this place ~ food is fabulous we are never disappointed ~ If you are out in the Okauchee area make sure you stop in and check them out!!! read more

Skip it. This was terrible. The service. The food. Prime rib special....just No. Tasteless. Au jus didn't help either. Don't bother telling them how you want it prepared. We ordered medium rare at 5pm and it was cooked well. Just awful. read more

Great place for families. We had just moved to the area and came for Sunday breakfast and had good service. Food took a little while but our server warned us ahead of time. We were able to relax and hang out with family enjoying the weather. Highly recommend. We will be back soon. read more

Best place on Okauchee lake!! Great food, great people, great music and the staff is very friendly. This is a fun place with a great view of the lake. They can even serve you on your boat! read more

The new chef Sergio is amazing. The wings are award winning. The fish fry is close to the best in Wisconsin I've had. Hint: try the Parmesan crusted cod. The specials are fantastic. Try this food, it's that good. read more

Hair in my food, terrible service. The lake view might draw you in but be warned- stay away!

We sat outside for over 20 minutes and two waitresses walked by and never acknowledged us. Gave one star, because a cute dog wandered in from next door, and that was the only highlight. read more

We have spent many weekends on the lake for several years and like to frequent the local eateries. Unfortunately the food quality and service have gone totally down the tubes under the new ownership. The cheeseburgers were pink/raw. It took so long to get them we didn't dare send them back rto be cooked longer. And we waited 30 minutes to get our check. Just awful. read more
