Awful fish fry! It used to be so good! I don't know what changed. The Friday fish fry used to be a big portion and was delicious. It's a small portion and tough. Just not good quality fish anymore. Onion rings were soggy, the roasted vegetables aren't good anymore. Not sure if ownership changed or just the food distributor. read more

My local neighborhood stop. Great food, specials, great service, nice atmosphere. Top scores!

Absolutely love their Italian beef wrap and fries! Everyone who works there is so friendly and attentive. Burgers are delicious and great chicken wraps as well. Need to try their pizza next! read more

Have to say.. I love absolutely everything about this place, but the service. I hate to say that because it's not everyone, but most. The bartenders don't even smile, and basically act like they are better than everyone on the other side of the bar, and honestly not even that great, when you have to sit there and wait ten plus minutes for another beer. BUT the food, the food is awesome. read more

It's your typical neighborhood dive bar but with terrible service. It was a busy Wednesday night but they had atleast four servers and two bartenders working. But when a table of four sits down in the middle of the restaurant with 3 servers running around you but never stop to see if you need anything, that's bad service. Had to get up and go to the bar to get drinks. That wasn't much better. Unfortunately we left shortly after. read more

Hydeout is fun with Good, sometimes very good food. The servers are friendly and attentive to customers. Fun atmosphere with a strong sports hangout vibe. Worth a visit. read more

Great burgers, huge patty, great topping combinations, delicious bun. Made a phone order & order was ready no problem. Arrived a bit early and was thanked for our patience. Inside seems clean and friendly. Great ambiance. Pretty rad place. Seems like a fun hang out with lots of regulars. read more

Food was great, service awesome. Got a chance to talk to owner, seemed like nice guy. Place was awesome. read more

Great food and amazing staff! My immediate and extended family loves eating here. It's a really great bar food type of place, and despite being pretty well hidden, always seems to be busy (so you KNOW their food is good). The atmosphere is fun and family friendly - our kids like to eat here too! read more

Have now been sitting in here at this fine establishment what's married for about 30 minutes and still have not received anyone to come and assist me with a drink for an order I walked up to the bar and got my own drink. While the 6 waitresses stared at our table. Completely unacceptable. read more

Picture this: it's 27° outside in the middle of January. My friend and I decide to visit hideout bar. we were two of six people at the bar. we went outside to play pool and ordered two pitchers of beer to go with. this pool table is practically in the parking lot. While we were outside playing in the freezing cold, alone..my friend crossed the street and bought two small pieces of crab Rangoon from the neighboring Chinese restaurant. he brought the tiny paper bag and two rangoon with him to the pool table area. he took a single bite and put the bag down on the floor. within three minutes, the owner of the establishment came outside and says, "I need you guys to leave" . no warning, no consideration of the special circumstance just kicked us out. I understand rules about bringing in outside food but this guy was a total jerk. read more

The food there was warm when i got it not hot. Also the burger was made wrong, (i found out after i took a bite of my food) told the server and she tried to make it my fault. After she realizes she "pressed the wrong button" then takes my food to go fix the problem with my burger but takes my onion rings that i had no problem with. Then brings me out the same onion rings on a different plate 5 minutes later cold while i waited on my burger. To top it all off when i got my "fixed burger" i was making sure it was made right and realized they gave me the same burger they had made wrong that i took a bite out of and scraped the toppings off to just replace them and send it back out. Disgusting. Do not recommend anymore. read more

Been here numerous times to drink and gamble first time I order food. Order boneless wings. Get bone in. And then let her know I ordered boneless and proceeds to tell me "we ran out I thought I told you." Literally spoke to the waitress 1 time while taking my order and when she brought it out to me. So restaurant/food wise 3 out of ten. read more

Best cod around. I have the baked and my husband have the deep fried. Always great

Hard working bar tenders and waitresses! Great food. Owners are there often and run a tight ship. read more

Great place to watch the game, grab a cold one, and eat some top notch pub food. Tons of TV's and a great sound system. It's tucked in behind some other buildings and not visible from the road, but it's worth the effort to find it and plan a stop in Poplar Grove. read more

This place is usually our first pick when going out to eat. We have never been disappointed in anything we order.

Great burgers, fish fry and baked are plentiful and super tasty! More draft beer selections needed ! But great staff

This is our favorite little gem to go to. Food is excellent, prices are great, and the service us incredible!! We have had the sliders for $1.25 on Thursday nights and crab legs for $13.99 on Saturday nights. Never disappointed.. this place always exceeds my expectations. read more

They have good food at reasonable prices. We've Thad groups of people able to be seated.

We read better reviews on Trip Advisor than Yelp so we decided to give this place a try anyways. We were so glad we did! Very attentive service by the wait staff and excellent food! The place was busy on a Sunday afternoon and we were shocked at how fast the food was served. We will definitely stop back here next time we're passing through town! read more

Got screwed out of karaoke because three people (including one of the owners) wanted to watch the basketball game on the big screen. Totally inexcusable for an otherwise decent place to go. My friends drive over an hour each way to come here each month and it was a wasted trip. read more

This place has one of the best burgers I've ever had. Their pricing is very reasonable as well. I have only gotten carry-out from there. I can't tell you what the restaurant or the service is like. read more

Love this place!!! Wonderful service and drinks! The owners are very hospitable very clean!!

Used to go here all the time for fish fry until about 6 to 9 months ago. They went from being the best fish fry in Rockford area to mediocre. Fish is now t he generic triangular minced fish. They have lost our business. Based on seeing the recent reviews I see I am not alone in the disappointment of recent changes. read more

Been here a few times, the last time i was here, after I had ordered a round if expensive drinks me and my two friends took the drinks to the deserted patio to play pool, at that time we started to enjoy a crab ragoon appatizer that I had bought accross the parking lot at Panda Garden (since i HATE all barfood). The bar owner then came out the bar and insisted we had to leave and yelled and swore at us. i didnt even have time to start my first drink, and even after saying I would just go put the crab ragoon in the car so that i could continue to stay and play pool he kept swaring and told us to get out immediately. He did not even offer to refund he drinks that we didnt even touch. The owner should just get a manager because he is unreasonable and is so arrogant and egotistical, he thinks he is king of poplar grove or something. 0 stars, bad food there, and bad service, bad layout of resturant/bar, bad crowd and ambiance. Go to anyother bar but this one. The entire place is clique and nothing like Chubby Rain (the old bar it replaced). The waitstaff is also mean, for no reason. And I grew up around here to and was always nice to them. read more

Love this place! Great food and great service! Definitely try the wings. They are my favorite.

White cheese curds on the salty side. Waitress was attentive, loaded waffle fries are heaven, boneless wings (mild and garlic parm) was decent. Mini sliders are amazing, as well as plain waffle fries. This was our first time and would be definitely worth another trip to try something else. The atmosphere is a ages with adults. All girl wait staff for all those lonely guys out there.. read more

I have never had a bad experience at this bar. The owners are as friendly as any bar/restaurant I have ever been to. They have Always been receptive to customer's opinions and attentive to customer complaints. The food is pretty good, for the most part they serve pretty typical bar food. Though I have to admit I have been awful at expanding my horizon and trying new things from their menu. I have been partial to their burgers which are always cooked perfectly, and my wife LOVES their wings. My Biggest complaint is their Beer selection. As I am often referred by my friends as a beer snob, I am partial to craft brews and their draft selection is basically light beers and Guinness. They have recently added A craft beer but it would be awesome to see more variety. So if you are looking for a very clean, friendly environment to enjoy good food and drinks with more than enough tv's to see the game then this place is perfect for you to at least try. I definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried it. read more

Great place for a burger. Fantastic atmosphere staff is friendly. The wings are good, nachos are also plentiful and tasty.

Very disappointed 3 times and they still can't manage to get the order correct, then the arrogant "manager" Benny comes over and he's like a greasy used car salesman.. No empathy just a cocky jerk I'm good never stepping foot inside this dump again! read more

I had the cowboy burger, best burger I've ever had. It was very busy yet the service was great, sat at the bar and met some nice people. Highly recommended. read more

I went to Hideout on a Friday about 2pm for the fish fry. Ordered fried cod. If you want fried cod that is tough and fishy slimy, then this is for you. The last time I was at this location is when it was a family restaurant. I was very let down with quality of a simple dish like fish. It must have been left over from last week, frozen and thawed. I have not been back and won't be. Don't waste your time with this food they serve. read more

What an Awesome place to have a bite, if your stopping for a snack or want a Great dinner this is it. Really good food, Great Bartenders, wait staff is awesome..... fast,friendly. Food is fresh and a nice selection. We will be back!!! read more

Good Overall. Friday night has a hip hop DJ. Not for me. I guess some like that. Saturday Nights are good. Wednesdays in the Summer are Bike Night. Pretty good atmosphere for mid week. Plenty of TVs. Pretty good service with good food. This may be the nicest bar in the Belvidere/Poplar Grove area which isnt saying much. But its pretty good. I was surprised. read more

Always solid. My favorite wings, always spot on. Never had anything that disappointed off the menu and staff always seems to be attentive. read more

Food is mostly good, staff friendly. 3 stars because they didn't actual taco sauce for their tacos instead of the bland salsa. Lots of local bar flies. Walleye on Wednesdays is good. Wish they had regualr fries instead of the waffle fries all the time. read more
