My family and I ended up here randomly today (Saturday) after doing a yelp search for lunch. We arrived and it was BUSYYYY, but the wait time was said to be 11-20 minutes. So we decided to wait. Wait time ended up being OVER 30 minutes, but IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. We almost decided to just walk right over to Kinders, after waiting 30 minutes. But we thought "wth, we've waited this long, let's just wait a bit longer". Finally after almost 40 minutes, we were seated inside. There is no patio seating here and the venue is really small. I wouldn't recommend for groups over 4-5 at the pleasant hill location unless you call to make a reservation in advanced. Though I'm not sure if they take reservations. Anyway, we ordered the following. Kids pancake and fruit. Kids fried chicken & fries + a side of extra crispy bacon. Both kids meals came with an apple juice. Crab Benedict. Chicken and wafffles. Ube pancakes Hot chocolate Thai Iced Tea & an alcohol beverage. The something sour. Can't remember the name but had grapefruit, soju, tajin rim. Damn near EVERYTHING was delicious!! We loved it alllll. Minus the hot chocolate. My kids did not like it, but it wasn't bad. Just not a favorite. On top of the food being yummy! It's all so decently priced. For everything mentioned above, our bill came out to $150. Which to me, in today's world, for 4 people, all of that?! Is not bad at all. I spend more on a less when grocery shopping for two days worth of groceries. We WILL be visiting again!

Plenty of parking available as well. We haven't dined in as a family yet, but recently ordered takeout a couple of times to try their breakfast. The first time we ordered a chocolate chip waffle and breakfast burrito. We have also tried the chocolate chip pancakes and Denver scramble. I ordered an Iced Korean coffee that was amazing, good cream and not too sweet. The food is delicious, the chocolate chip waffle was big enough for the family to share. Their hash browns are nice with a good crisp. We'll have to visit to dine in, and try more food.

For us, Plaza Cafe was the go-to breakfast spot :)…read more We've lived in Pleasant Hill for 11 years, and this is exactly what you hope your home base spot feels like. Warm, familiar, comforting, and the kind of place that just feels woven into the rhythm of local life. One of the main reasons we keep coming back is the crab eggs benedict. It is so, so good. Rich, satisfying, and the kind of breakfast you end up thinking about later. If you come here, that dish alone is worth the visit. One critique... depending on the day, the crab portions can leave you wither madly in love or a bit disappointed, and then you have to just hope the next visit will be back to normal. It feels like a true neighborhood classic, and after all these years, it still feels like home :)

Quick fact before I do my review: Before officially being in a relationship, The Hideout Kitchen is…read morewhere we had our very first date. And it was at the former location. 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!

The restaurant has a stylish "luxe-meets-rustic" aesthetic, with warm lighting, wood accents, and cozy seating that makes the place feel welcoming and relaxed. Our server was also very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. For brunch, we ordered the Pulled Pork Silog, Fried Chicken & Waffles, and Kids Ube Pancake. Pulled Pork Silog - Delicious! The flavor was spot-on, and the pulled pork was really tasty. My only issue was the fried rice--it felt slightly undercooked, as I could still barely feel the individual rice grains. Fried Chicken & Waffles - Crispy and good! The chicken had a nice crunch and paired well with the waffles. Kids Ube Pancake - Delicious and, most importantly, not too sweet! The sweetness was just right, and our daughter loved it so much she finished the whole thing. That's always a good sign! Overall, we enjoyed our brunch and our little Lafayette adventure. It was nice discovering a quieter side of the Bay Area, and finally putting that gift card to good use!

The bar faces the kitchen area and is sort of awkward, but the main dining area, albeit small, is wonderfully decorated and modern. The drinks are Yelp and IG worthy. And also ... delicious! The food, just as delicious. And BEAUTIFULLY presented. They do have a bar area which would be cute for drinks and appetizers, but again, the open kitchen is right there which makes the vibe a little awkward. But, I'd still go for after-work drinks. Highly highly recommend! Support your local businesses!

My cousin's fried chicken thighs had the perfect crunch and moisture. Their lattes... something needs to be said because I feel like a lot of restaurants really miss the mark here. My request to the owner.. build upon your drink menu. I love SoCal restaurants for this reason and no one does it well here in NCal. That could be you guys! Here, it's usually either/ or. Your coffee and non-alcoholic menu could be it! Not everyone drinks and it sucks having brunch with your girlfriends who drink and you can't be in the cute photos because all you're having is water. I forgot how delicious this place was. We went here on a Friday morning. Ambiance was classy but low key. I saw two groups of women meeting up for a lunch date. I saw friends with babies. I even saw a gentleman alone having coffee near us. If they had offered Wi-Fi, I would have gone here to study if I could or do content or have virtual meetings. This is how much I like this place. I would only say that parking in the front is tight. I did some content that I still need to post. Follow me @wellthy.on.purpose

Both were pretty tasty though I wasn't too fond of the hash browns. They weren't bad, just different - very flat and a bit hard for my taste. The staff was friendly but our waiter wasn't particularly attentive even though the place wasn't too busy - maybe just understaffed at the time. Will come back though and try other items.

I asked our waiter for it, and it still never showed up. I then asked a different waitress, and I still never received it. We also never got the toast that came with our meal. What made it even more frustrating was watching the tables around us consistently get coffee refills while we couldn't even get the first cup we ordered. It's disappointing when something as simple as coffee and toast is missed multiple times. The food was okay, but the lack of attentiveness made the overall experience pretty frustrating.

Everything was great except the chicken needed a bit more seasoning and was really tough on the thinner ends . It could have used more even pounding before cooking. The waffle, though, was delicious.

Overall, we had a great time and would come back.
