    Slowly making our way through Bay Area brunch spots. Came here with some friends to change it up from our usual spot. We met up a little after 12 PM. There was some parking but the lot was full and you had to pay to park. We didn't have a reservation, but they had tables open for those without them. I ordered the Pulled Pork Silog, the garlic rice and the fried egg on top were really good, the pickled onions a nice touch, the pulled pork didn't have much flavor and I probably wouldn't order this dish again. I also ordered the Pomelo Spritz, I was disappointed in this. The glass was half full and it was mostly ice. Wouldn't order a drink again. To note they do not have bottomless mimosas at the moment. The staff was very attentive and communicative if they didn't have something we wanted.

    Morning Glory with a side salad

    Came here with some friends for the first time and overall did enjoy it. This area has an assortment of great brunch/lunch spots and there is paid parking. This location does take reservations, but we did show up without one and were able to be seated at the barstool tables. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the menu had a number of amazing things listed. We all ordered something different, but I got the Morning Glory - which is a breakfast sandwich with a side salad (the salad was amazing). The sandwich was very filling and delicious. Why not 5 stars? The drinks. 3/4 ordered the same cocktail for about $18 each. The glasses were half full if even and mostly ice. I do not mind paying for a drink, but for $18 I expect to get a full glass. Bottom line, I would come back for the food, but would pass on the cocktails.

    Lafayette is such a gem of a place. While in the area, we stopped at this local spot on a beautiful (and hot) day. We opted to not sit outside, rather inside right by the exterior seating to still get the vibes but also some AC. I love places like Lafayette where all the businesses support each other and help each other grow. Their brews on tap are mostly all local, and we grabbed some Pilsners sourced from Lafayette's new brewery, Western Flyer. So fresh and crisp. Can't wait to also check that spot out. Food-wise, we came in mid-afternoon and grabbed a Kale Pancetta salad (they pre-split the salad for us on two plates which was so nice), and for the mains, we both grabbed the Tuna Melt with fries. The salad was delicious. I'm def a tuna melt girly, and I loved the addition of the ciabatta (?) as the bread option, so fresh as well. This tuna melt comes with grapes fyi, and a few other elements mixed in. I absolutely loved it, just sharing though as I know how some tuna stans like their tuna :) This spot is clean, spacious, and perfectly situated in walking distance downtown. Would love to come back for brunch with a group of friends, or even again during the upcoming Lafayette Art & Wine Fest. Food is good, service is quick and friendly, and vibes are right. Metered parking located across the street.

    Great ambiance. Very spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be difficult; there's a nearby paid parking area or street parking. We got seated pretty quickly despite no reservations. Our server was friendly and attentive. However, the wait time for the food was LONG and it wasn't even crazy busy. We had to ask several times about our food. Food- wise, everything we ordered was delicious. It was flavorful and good portioned. Overall, a pleasant experience. I would like to come back to try their lunch or dinner menu.

    I went to the Hideout with a plan. If I made it in time for Happy Hour, I was having the mussels. If not, I would eat something dinnery. Alas, traffic was heavy. Happy Hour slipped by. No worries. I was hungry today anyway. First thing to note, parking is easy. There are small paid lots on either side and the big lot across the street. There is ample outfit seating, if you are so inclined. The bar and dining room are both a good size, too. I sat at the bar, proper. I got greeted and waited on immediately. My food came out in about 5 minutes. I had the burger. It was generously sized and cooked medium rare as requested. The egg was perfect and the burger had great flavor. The only quibble I had was how messy it was. I could handle the egg yolk and juice from the burger. What got me was the onion. It was dut so thick, I had trouble biting through it. I ended up pulling it out and eating it separately. I probably should have cut it, but so don't believe burgers are knife and fork food. They are meant to be held. Needless to say I made a mess. Bur it was a delicious mess. The fries were thin and crispy. They came with two sauces, ketchup and one that was thousand Islandesqe. Yum! I washed it down with my favorite NA beer if the moment, Day Money from Filedwork. My server was really nice and the whole experience was good. I'm interested in having those mussels some time. Or, I might try their Golden Hour dinner (3 courses for $45 from 5pm-6pm Mon - Wed.). The ambience, think upscale cabin in the woods or ski lodge, was relaxing. I've found another good place to eat in Lafayette. Recommended.

    We stopped by The Hideout Kitchen in Lafayette for a quick lunch while we were in the area and grabbed a table on the patio. The vibe inside is luxe, the food has great presentation, and the menu had a lot of tempting options. Since we were there for a light lunch, we ordered the chicken cobb salad and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, but a few things tasted a bit off from what we expected. - Chicken Cobb Salad: light and refreshing, packed with fresh greens. But it needed more flavor overall - the dressing was super mild, the chicken was dry, and the blue cheese was so light it honestly tasted like feta - Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup: comforting, but I wished the bread was thicker and fluffier, like a milk bread or brioche. The soup was nice and creamy but too salty to enjoy by itself Overall a pleasant spot with a lot of potential - I think there are just small tweaks that could have been made. Would definitely give this a second chance and try out the dinner menu.

    We started here for dinner before heading out to a concert. Dinner was perfection and so were the drinks. I never know of this little gem of a place in Lafayette until my friend raved about it. I'm happy she suggested it before we headed out to our concert in Oakland. My friend had the boneless Mary's chicken, yukon & russet mash, braised kale, truffle honey and I, blackened salmon spanish spices, brown rice & quinoa pilaf, roasted vegetables, pesto. To me it was a lot of food for the price, so I ended up taking half of my meal home to have as leftovers for dinner the following night. Check them out.

    Solid experience once again. We came for Father's Day brunch. Friendly staff and got seating right it away. As expected but linger for food but still reasonable knowing every table of this large restaurant is filled with other patrons. Shrimp and grits. The shrimp large juicy and had natural sweetness. I love sauce but this was a bit over sauced for me. My son love his steak eggs and fruit. Pork Silog was ok. Garlic rice was great, pork was a bit one note. Next time we should get back to our usual favorites which is burger, fried chicken, Cobb salad etc.

    What a gem nestled in bustling Lafayette, CA. Love.the decor vibe with ample outside dining offering plenty of shade from the California sun. Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon and was promptly seated amd served water. They have a great menu of various offerings of salad, pasta, wraps, paninis and a specialties section including a blackened salmon and a seafood stew. I ordered the Chicken Curry Wrap with sweet potato fries. Now I would definitely order this again and again. The filling of curry spice, chicken chunks, green beans, brown rice, quinoa, dried apricots, roasted potatoes and served with a side of labney, a strained yogurt for dipping. The labney paired perfectly with both the wrap and the deliciously crisped sweet potatoe fries. The service was great and our waters were kept filled throughout the meal. I plan to go back again to try the dinner menu as it was such an enjoyable experience.

    Ube pancakes

    I had been to the restaurant that was previously at this location a few years ago and had been wanting to try The Hideout Kitchen. I came here this morning with some friends and we really enjoyed our meal! First, I LOVE that they take reservations online via Open Table. We have been to other restaurants for brunch that don't take reservations and had to wait 45-60 mins to get seated. I arrived a few mins early and was immediately seated after checking in. My friends were running late so I appreciated that they didn't make me wait until the rest of the party arrived. The entrees we got were the ube pancakes, tomato soup and grilled cheese, chorizo tacos, and a Benedict. The ube pancakes were a generous portion and the ube sauce wasn't overly sweet. I tried a piece of the grilled cheese one of my friends ordered, which was perfectly cheesy. Though I didn't partake as a non-meat eater, my friends seemed to enjoy the chorizo tacos. Friends had mimosas and a lychee martini. Next time I'll have to take uber or Lyft there so I can enjoy them without being too drunk to drive! Waiter was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for the food or check. We had a great table outside. Although we were near a lot of car and foot traffic, we could still talk and hear each other at a normal volume. I'd love to try the grilled cheese with tomato soup on a chilly day, which are probably far and few now that it's spring. Maybe next time I'll try the brioche French toast or the breakfast burrito.

    Fried chicken - one of my favorites!

    We love The Hideout! Been coming here for a long time, maybe 10 years ago when it was near the Soccer Post. Everything I've had there is fabulous! The owner JB is a great human! He helped many local businesses during the pandemic!

    Smoked brisket panini

    This is a good place to come after spending time at the Lafayette Reservoir! They have lovely outside seating and a casual atmosphere, but feels slightly upscale too. We were seated immediately, but it took about 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. However, he took our drink and food order quickly and took good care of during our visit. We went for brunch/lunch on a weekday. They have a great variety of options for food, something for everyone! We started with coffee, which tasted good and I liked the mugs and little pitcher of cream alongside. There was a little bit of the grounds in the coffee, but not so much to make it unpleasant. To eat, I had the steak frites. It's not your traditional steak frites, which was nice to see! The chimmichuri sauce was the perfect topping for the steak. The fries were cooked to my liking (not too crispy) and the steak was seasoned well. If I were to order it again, I'd ask for medium rare as opposed to medium to make it an even better eating experience. However, it was delicious! The other people in my party had the smoked brisket panini and the honey fried chicken. Both of these dishes were delicious as well. The chicken is one of their best selling dishes. If you're looking for a good spot to eat and have drinks after hiking around the reservoir, check out The Hideout Kitchen!

    Continues to be go to brunch place but this time I would rate it 3.5 stars We ordered curry chicken wrap - though flavorful it could do with more seasoning, less burning and moisture or curry. Frittata has always been our favorite but it was also dry, I liked it when they served it in the baking dish itself. Drinks were good. Chocolate martini and bubbly both were good. Being Easter Sunday their kitchen was backed up. So it took them solid 30 minutes to bring the food. But after that they did get us the spicy aioli and were quick to serve whatever we wanted. We liked the previous location a bit better but atleast this is more open. All the parking spots are paid and only coin or credit card are accepted. Three hr limit on the parking.

    The Hideout Kitchen Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Hideout Kitchen

    Are there Gluten Free options besides the salads?

    I'm not sure but the staff and owners are incredibly accommodating. I'd feel comfortable asking for a substitution.

    Is there a kids menu for dinner?

    I don't remember seeing a kids menu there. However, they do have some "small plate" options.

    Are the ube pancakes and pulled pork silog only available during the weekend brunch?

    Yes they are only on the brunch menu! You could always try asking ahead of time if they are open to making these dishes at other times

    Where can I find prices in the menu?

    View the menu on the restaurant's website.

    Does the restaurant accept reservations for brunch?

    Hmmm not too sure because I walked in for a table of 2, and the host asked if it was ok that we took this table that had a reservation in 1 hour 45 mins from now. I responded with "not a problem, we only need an hour. "… 

    Is the honey chicken - strips?

    If you're referring to the fried chicken, it is not strips.

    Are dogs allowed at outdoor seatings?

    Yes

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas?

    Not on the weekends. I think you can order bottomless weekdays, but I'm not sure. I know you can buy the bottle of champagne for like $25-30 and they'll give you juices to make some.

    Does this restaurant serve alcohol?

    Yes, full service bar.

    Are reservations recommended for a Saturday evening?

    Is the brunch menu only on weekends and is all day or for certain hours?

    Yes, they are

    Can I still order regular menu(lunch/dinner menu) on brunch time?

    I went for brunch. I was able to order from breakfast and lunch menu, but not the dinner menu. Hope this helps.

    Are there any vegan options or are we able to modify meals to make them vegan?

    There are vegan options.

    Do you offer the brunch menu on the weekdays?

    No, only Saturday and Sundays

    When is happy hour?

    I don't believe they have happy hour since they don't have a bar.

    Peanut allergy friendly?

    I have a son that has lethal peanut allergies and he was fine. I am also very careful of what I order. We went to the restaurant for brunch.

    Is breakfast only on weekends?

    Yes. Breakfast on weekends only. They open at 9:00 on the weekends, later during the week.

Indoor seating if you want quiet, plus a big covered patio out back with string lights, wine barrel tables, and heaters for the colder months.

I've only ever come for the morning routine, but they've got a full bar with craft cocktails, draft beer from local breweries like Fieldwork and Altamont, and wine by the glass. The evening side is on my list. If you live in the area and don't have a regular coffee spot yet, make this it.
