Behind the gates of an iffy parking lot and next to no distinguishable businesses (definitely no other restaurants), this Western themed bar was right up our date night alley. I would get why they call it ‘The Hideout’ considering the blue illuminated lights above the back patio say nothing but suggest an arrow to the door and there was no other signs of life to be found from the outside. Inside, however, awaited all night Happy Hour on Mondays, a really friendly, down to earth bar staff (not like any uppity, can’t get their attention, don’t ask me any questions bartenders), and old Cartoon Network reruns.
If you are a vegetarian, and like most vegetarians, miss the classic, irreplaceable taste and texture of Buffalo Wings: order the Buffalo Mushrooms. I am not a vegetarian, and these fried, spicy morsels (with Ranch) were good enough for me to consider giving up chicken for.
My burger: Gavin McLeod. Topped with crumbled blue cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and A-1 sauce. The fries were cut thick (not steak) and seasoned to not need a dipping sauce. In fact, don’t use the ketchup because it would take away from how great they were.
My lady ordered what was called a Dr. Joyce Brothers, which was provolone, romaine, tomato, red onion, avocado, sprouts, and Italian dressing. This was actually my second choice, so I am glad I was able to steal a few bites of this what I would call ‘refreshing’ burger. She opted for salad (ugh, healthy) instead of fries, and while I have no idea what was in it, I found myself picking over her basket for a few bites of that as well.
I can promise you we will be back for more of The Escondite.
