    Love Hideout Kitchen. Becoming a family go-to. Food is excellent. Have loved everything I'ver had to date. A tad expensive, but it seems like everything is these days when eating out. A really great place with simple vibes and delicious comfort food.

    Food was not as good as I'm used to from Hideout Kitchen. Had the Roasted chicken sandwich which I had to take apart to eat. There were two dry chicken breasts in it, chicken was so dry I could hardly cut it with a knife. Would have been much better with only 1 piece of chicken. Very disappointed.

    We can rely on the Hideout Kitchen for excellent food and service. We sat indoors for this meal, but should have chosen outdoors because there was a birthday party table nearby that was quite noisy (not the restaurant's fault). That said, our server was prompt, courteous and professional. And the food was a hit, as always. That elusive 5th star will be awarded when we have a quieter experience.
