The Hideaway Kitchen & Bar

"I needed a place to grab a bite and wait out traffic and discovered one of my new favorite places. Great laid back atmosphere and not too loud, and one of the best burgers I've had in ages (the Black&Blue). I'll definitely be back."

"Cute atmospheric vibe. Not stuck up and good food. Service was great as well as beer selection. Prices a bit high, but it's less than others in the area so take it as a plus. Would to back often if I lived in the area but am glad I found it when I'm around that way for next time."

"Food, service and ambience is amazing. Classic pub/tavern feel. Extensive menu. Plenty of options including a vegetarian section, lighter side section and all your classic pub food. Just note that there are probably 30 parking spots and they will fill fast when it’s busy. We did come at 6 on a Friday and found probably the last spot. FOOD - We shared ten Buffalo wings which were extra spicy! Then my husband had the Balboa sandwich with the best crispy thin sweet potato fries, while I had the mini meatball stroganoff (had at least ten meatballs!) with garlic bread and a Caesar salad side. The picture does not do it justice. The portion was HUGE. All was DELICIOUS. Didn’t need to add any salt or pepper to my stroganoff. Can’t wait to have it again, and for such a great price! SERVICE - Johnny was our server. He was so friendly, with a smile on his face at all times. He was very attentive and had great suggestions for beer and food. You can tell he loves his job! We look forward to seeing him again!"

"Honestly, the meal was barely passable. I had nachos with beef. It looks like they used the chili, which would have been OK, but it was very watery, which made the chips sofmggy very quickly. My wife had the chili as a soup and found it to be bland and watery and the chips stale. The shrimp was ok and we had two more apps that weren't memorable. We had two other people with us and they were in agreement. The service was slow, but they did warn us it would be as they waitresses are covering tables inside and outside. We asked for a last round of drinks and a few of us used the restroom and paid the tab while we were inside. We got back to the table to discover one of the drinks never arrived. Parking is hard to fund. Overall, the the was hopping and the energy level was good, but the food needs to be improved and they need to increase staffing on busy nights."

"I was very skeptical of this place when I was reading other reviews. It's not often that a place lived up to reviews that praise every little thing. However, I was pleasantly surprised and I am very happy that I was wrong. First off, everything we ate was excellent. The portions are very good, the quality of the meat was impressive, and the service was quite prompt. The burgers are some of the best in the area, if not all of Connecticut. The prices for food are definitely higher than the average pub. However, you are getting much better food than you would at the average pub so I feel like the tradeoff is fair. There is sometimes a decent wait here as well as this is a popular pub. I would suggest avoiding dinner on weekends if you don't want to wait for seating. Lastly, there is a good mix of beers if you are just looking to have a pint with friends. I really do recommend this place."
