The Hideout Kitchen offers an inviting ambiance with standout outdoor dining. Patrons rave about the "wonderful food" and "excellent service," highlighting dishes like fried chicken and Cobb salad. While the new location brings more space, noise levels can be high. Ideal for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.

    We almost always eat in Oakland, Berkeley and SF because it's hard to find good food and flavors through the tunnel. Hideout nails it. The lamb shank, the fried chicken, the squash all as good as you get in the City. Delicious. Could still use some work on their craft cocktails, but the food was excellent.

    We used to go to the old location on Mt. Diablo Blvd which was smaller and quaint. We've gone to the new location 3 times now, always hoping for a better experience and tastier food. Unfortunately, what we've found is that food isn't as good (portions are smaller too) and while the ambience is nice and energetic, it is loud and could use some acoustical buffering inside. We really want to like this place as much as the old location, and feel like 3 tries is good number to give it. But unfortunately, it doesn't stack up.

    I had the kale salad and it was delicious! We tried to sit inside but way too loud to visit amongst ourselves so we took a table on the enclosed patio which was very nice.

    Consistently wonderful. Signature dishes, great service, lovely ambiance. The wine list could use some work at the lower and middle prices.

    Our first visit to The Hideout and it won’t be our last. We enjoyed a nice lunch with good food and company. Next time we will try dinner.

    Met a friend that i hadn’t seen for awhile. We both love breakfast burritos and theirs was not disappointing! Our side was a bowl of fruit that was exceptional to look at AND eat. Our wait person was very good and patient. Easy to have a 2 hour lunch just catching up. He told us to take our time all good. I can recommend this restaurant for lunch! For a Monday, they were very busy. I would recommend reservations just to be safe.

    We started with the Brussels sprouts for the table. Then my husband and I each had the porchetta and polenta while our friends had the honey fried chicken. Everyone loved everything and we had leftovers to eat later. We’re interested in the chicken pot pie that was sold out before we ordered. We’ll be back!
