Skip the Hill Country Restaurants, For The Best Table Around Might Be at The Hideout

Texas Hill Country restaurants get plenty of attention, and good food is always worth talking about. But you should definitely add one restaurant in Brownwood to your list: The Hideout Grill. The kitchen serves up Texas-influenced comfort food with a few creative twists, bringing a taste of the region to every dish.

The menu has some Texas favorites, from chicken fried steak to hand-cut steaks, plus breakfast plates worth getting out of bed for. The setting is pretty great, too. The dining room overlooks the golf course and Lake Brownwood, and the patio lets you enjoy the view.

Whatever brings you to The Hideout, the Grill has a seat at the table for you.

Texas Comfort Food With a Creative Twist

The Hideout’s kitchen showcases Texas-influenced American cooking, with a menu featuring everything from breakfast tacos and Huevos Rancheros to seafood pasta, burgers, and steaks. Under the direction of Executive Chef Brandon, the menu brings together familiar Texas comfort food and creative twists, offering something for every appetite.

A Good Morning Starts Here

Breakfast at The Hideout Grill is a weekend tradition, served Friday and Saturday mornings starting at 7 AM, and Sundays from 10 AM. It starts with the familiar favorites. The Standard comes with two eggs cooked your way, breakfast potatoes, Texas toast, and your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham. It’s a classic breakfast plate, and you can make it your own.

Huevos Rancheros has eggs over refried beans and corn tortillas, plus house made salsa and avocado. The breakfast tacos come stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar jack cheese, potatoes, and your choice of breakfast meat. For a bigger appetite, Steak & Eggs pairs two eggs with a four ounce filet mignon in savory garlic butter.

Sweet breakfast fans have options, too. The Vanilla French Toast comes with fresh berries, and the short stack includes buttermilk pancakes plus your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham. Add a bottle of sparkling wine and your choice of juice for mimosas, or order a Bloody Mary if that's more your speed.

Texas Favorites Take the Lunch and Dinner Menu

Lunch and dinner are where the comfort food really gets its moment. The Classic Hideout Burger has a half pound Kobe beef patty, your choice of cheese, and fries. The Patty Melt goes a little further, with an eight ounce patty, Swiss cheese, sautéed onions, mushrooms, green chiles, and Russian dressing on toasted rye.

Chicken fried steak is another menu highlight. The beef is tenderized in house, hand breaded, and served with garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy. The chicken fried chicken follows a similar route, with country gravy and the same hearty sides.

Steaks get their own space on the menu. Choose an eight ounce filet or a 14 ounce ribeye, both served with herb butter, garlic mashed potatoes, and seasonal vegetables. The pork chops come with smoked tomato jam and a chipotle BBQ glaze. For something a little different, the Salmon and Shrimp Pasta pairs seasoned shrimp and a six ounce salmon filet with white wine based pasta.

For starters, the Par 3 has house-made salsa, guacamole, and queso, while the fried pickles come with chipotle aioli. The BBQ pulled pork sliders feature slow-roasted pork shoulder tossed in chipotle BBQ sauce served on brioche buns with pickles. And if you like a little heat, the Texas Toothpicks are battered onion and jalapeño strips served with green chile ranch.

A Table With a View

The dining room has warm wood accents and tall windows that bring the outdoors into view. Head out to the patio for fresh air and a look across the golf course and Lake Brownwood. It's a lovely setting for lunch after a round, but you don't need a golf club in sight to enjoy it.

The Hideout Grill welcomes day visitors as well as resort guests. That means you can stop in for a meal even if you aren't booked for an overnight stay. And if you are staying at the resort, the restaurant gives you another reason to settle in and enjoy the property without having to head back out for dinner.

The Copper Bar Has Plenty to Pour

The Copper Bar has a cocktail list that goes well beyond the usual beer and wine order. The Old Fashioned features Woodford Reserve, sugar, bitters, and a whiskey sphere. The margarita has 1800 Blanco, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and Grand Marnier. There's also an Espresso Martini made with Tito's Vodka and fresh espresso, plus a Snickerdoodle Martini for anyone who likes dessert in a glass.

The wine list includes familiar names like La Marca, Kendall-Jackson, Meiomi, and The Prisoner, along with a Texas pick from Reddy Vineyards. Local brew taps are available along with popular draft and bottled beers.

Weekday happy hour is listed from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, with drink specials and select food deals. Check the current menu for updated prices and specials.
