During the Bar Rescue makeover, Jon Taffer decided to keep the name of The Original Hideout. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for The Original Hideout since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):
Positive Reviews:
- "Stop in on Sundays for amazing Menudo. Red or white with many condiments including oregano, cilantro, limes, chopped white onion and chiles. Garlic bread available. Prepared very homade, like family kitchen. Pork adobada is off the charts good."
- "Excellent Mexican Food."
- "This place has been around a long time. My meal was pretty good, and the atmosphere is vibrant. Good drinks too!"
- "cheese crisp was perfect! Also their chicken sandwich was perfectly made with perfect bacon and avocado and also their onion rings were perfect and they give you a can of 7Up rather than from the tap it was really a good experience"
- "Good food, sometimes slow service, but not during the day."
Negative Reviews:
- "Came in with my friend to check out what changes were made after Bar Rescue. Everything seemed to be basically the same, only Modelo on tap, my friend ordered a whiskey ginger but they didn't have ginger ale? Overall felt pretty unwelcome and we left after getting 1 drink."
- "Visited today since it got remodeled. I like this place but my review is for the embarrassing customer service. Our server was new Maritza, she was excellent! Very sweet and wow was she working very hard. She was taking food orders and working the bar. The negative review is for Summer, she literally (and I say literally because a lot of patrons noticed) flirted with men at the bar while poor Maritza was running around all night...Tables surrounded agreed only because we saw the strain one employee was under while the other did nothing. Plus side food was excellent, fish fry, street tacos, carne asada burrito was excellent and the prices are so cheap! Fix the balance of your workers and you have 5 stars."
- "Service leaves a lot to be desired. Very low blouses, negative attitudes. If you aren't a Mexican man good luck getting waited on! When you are paying $15 a shot you would think that they would want to serve you."
- "IT WAS OK BUT NOT GOOD MUSIC AND THE BARTENDERS WERE HORRIBLE"
- "Still not a place I want to hang out at"
- "One word only dump"
- "Not my scene. Felt like prey. Men standing and staring."
