Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Local patrons rave about The Hideout’s homemade dishes, particularly the Sunday roast that consistently impresses with its generous portions and rich, homemade gravy. The café earns high marks for its pleasant ambiance, making it an ideal spot for working on a laptop or enjoying casual conversations over coffee. Many visitors appreciate the unlimited condiments available at the tables, enhancing the overall dining experience. The affordability of meals, especially given the current cost of living concerns, stands out as a key factor that makes this café a beloved choice for the community. Guests frequently highlight the positive and accommodating service, valuing the effort staff put into ensuring a pleasant visit.
Most Disliked
Some customers have voiced concerns regarding certain menu items, particularly the chicken dish, which has been labeled as less appealing compared to other offerings. A few diners expressed disappointment about the absence of cabbage in the Sunday dinner, suggesting that more vegetable options could enhance the meal. Although the café aims to provide warmth and comfort, the location might feel a bit tucked away for newcomers not familiar with the area. On rare occasions, delivery times might stretch longer than expected, though most feedback reflects satisfaction with service. Tailoring the menu based on community feedback would elevate the experience further and solidify its status as a local gem.
