The Hideout Kitchen + Bar

Best Burger in California

I had such a great experience dining here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and the food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was a standout. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

Wowie…. The burger with grilled onions, bacon etc was BEYOND DELICIOUS, actually the BEST BURGER I’ve ever had.

Overall a fantastic experience!! Our server Alyssa was amazing!! Vibes were great and food was bomb. Definitely get the meatballs!!

Was sat down and forgot about. Never got water and no server ever showed up. Stayed for over 10 minutes with the staff just staring at us.

Don't waste your time. The food is not good. The bacon on the burgers was basically raw and the whole thing lacked flavor. The fries are crispy but also lacked any flavor at all. The buffalo shrimp appetizer (which they forgot to bring us initially) were over fried and over drenched in buffalo sauce.

This has become one of our favorite spots for Happy Hour. Their selection is great and portions are generous. We have tried several items, and our favorites so far are the Pizza and Sliders. Their HH wine is great too!!!

Great food and environment. Must give it a try!

Two years already in the desert and we had never been here…our loss! Thoroughly enjoyed dinner last night with 2 other couples and we ALL enjoyed our meals. Burgers, chicken and one very large ‘hot dog’ with house made chili. One of our party got very specific with his customized order and I was surprised they got it right…it was complicated!
Our waiters were extremely friendly and as young as they were still very professional and personable. Plus they seemed proud to work there and that’s always speaks to a strong management team that emphasizes training.
We were lucky enough to meet a very hands on owner that you could plainly see went out of his way to ensure diners enjoyed not only their meal but their experience. We were very touched that he touted the house chili but gave credit to his grandmother for the original recipe. We also tried the bread pudding which is really out of this world. Even those of us on supposed ‘diets’ succumbed to this decadence!
Thank you Vick for a nice Saturday evening out with friends in a relaxed atmosphere where the menu - as well as our business - was taken seriously. Looking forward to returning!

My wife and I had the chance to eat brunch here due to a guest suggestion from the hotel that we were were staying at for our Spring Break vacay.

We were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. Our waitress was nice. Provided drink
suggestions when asked. My wife had a Strawberry Moscow mule and I had a basil margarita with muddled Strawberries and cucumbers (My request) and they accommodated!! Yummmmmmyyy both drinks.

Our food was superb. Omggg...I do not normally eat all of my food in one sitting, especially a burger. However, I ate that whole 1/2 lb of short rib brisket and chuck blend gladly lol. It was delicious. Not to mention on a bed of butter lettuce and juicy tomatoes...ohhh.. that soft bun. I enjoyed my WHOLE meal. My wife had the chicken parmesan sandwich. She said it was okay. Oh well.. she should have got the burger lol. The fries were good as well.

I gladly reccomend this spot. Ppl were ordering the pizza and poke nachos... all of that looked so tasty too. We will visit again when we return. Lol.

This place is absolutely the best restaurant in The Gardens!!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the price is right.

Wow—just wow. Hideout Kitchen + Bar is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had stumbled upon something truly remarkable. The ambiance was warm and inviting, but it was the food and service that made this experience unparalleled.

We started with the Buffalo cauliflower, and oh my goodness—it was exquisite! The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of crispiness and heat to keep each bite absolutely divine. Then came Grandma’s meatballs—rich, hearty, and bursting with soul-warming goodness. But the real showstopper? The New York steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, every bite melted in our mouths, a testament to the chef’s masterful technique. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we indulged in the apple pie. Holy moly. It was sublime! Flaky, buttery crust, perfectly spiced filling—it was an experience, not just a dessert.

And let’s talk about the service—beyond first-class. The owner/manager, Vic, was exceptionally attentive, gracious, and genuinely invested in ensuring that every guest had a phenomenal experience. His passion for hospitality is palpable, setting a standard of service that is simply unrivaled. He checked in on us multiple times, ensuring that every detail was flawless and welcoming any feedback with sincere appreciation. It’s rare to find this level of dedication, but Vic and his team have perfected the art of hospitality.

We come from Newport Coast, and let me tell you—this place is a treasured gem. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s an elevated dining experience that we can’t wait to relive. Hideout Kitchen + Bar has set the bar incredibly high, and we’re already counting down the days until our next visit!

Great place, pizza was excellent and Vince the owner is a great host!

Has become one of our favorite spots. Great service great drinks and the food is wonderful. Our waiter Chris is very good!
