My boyfriend and I just had an absolutely wonderful dinner at the Hideaway. I had the fried chicken special with mashed potatoes and gravy, and it was the best fried chicken I have had in years! In addition to the great food, the place is very cute and comfy - will definitely return when we come back to the Russian River!

Hubs and I came here on a Friday night at about 8 p.m. Only 3 parties in the dining room but the bar appeared to be hopping with regulars. Cons: very limited menu.
Pros: service very friendly and attentive, prices decent. I love the old building. We've been here several times over the past 17 years and ownership has changed at least 2, maybe 3 times.
Husband had Mexican seafood stew. He said it was good but slightly salty. When he pointed that out to the server she was like...'oh ya know, 1 in 50 people thing it's salty'...oooookkkaaaaayyy! I've read similar complaint on Yelp so know we're not alone.
Anyway, fish and chips was good..tasty..not greasy and good quality. Dinner salads good. Fried onion rings extremely tasty.
Will definitely come back on a different night when the specials are more to our liking. Really want to try the fried chicken dinner!
Worth a visit if you are in the area. -

Came here while on a trip to the area. There was four of us and a baby. The service was very friendly, as we're many locals who stopped by to admire the kid. Food came out pretty quickly, however it was hit or miss. Between all of us we ordered quite a few things. The highlights were:
Polenta fries, crisp and flavorful with a nice aioli
Fish and chips, good fries with a well spiced beer batter, HUGE portion
Husb said the grits with shrimp plate was really good
The place is old school cool, complete with board games you can play!
Now the not so good:
The Mac and cheese was bland
The seafood stew has potential to be amazing, but it was way too salty,my tongue was burning after a few bites
We ordered a chocolate dessert, the cake was crispy not at all cakey, but the whipped cream was good. -

This was mine and hubby's first place we ate at while in the area and it really is a nice little friendly place just off the main road. Blink and you miss it so keep a very close eye out!
I came here after reading the reviews with hopes to try their biscuits which a couple of the other reviewers raved about but unfortunately they had ran out of dough after having a big party in the night before.. Noooo! With that in mind I just settled on a side Salad (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and Wine (big mistake! I'm such a lightweight.) while hubby ordered Country Fried Chicken (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). The Chicken meal usually comes with biscuits also. I had a bite of everything on hubby's plate and it was very good - juicy Chicken, creamy slightly spicy mashed Potatoes & Creamed Corn... never having had Creamed Corn before I have nothing to compare to but it was pretty good too.
The waitress also told us that the dressings for the Salads are all made in house.
The staff and locals were all really friendly and welcoming too. Immediately they picked up on our still very strong British accents and started up friendly conversation and were really interested in asking about England and London in particular. I guess they must not get very many visitors from England here.
If you're staying locally I definitely recommend a visit, just get a Taxi. We were staying in Monte Rio and as Yelp said it was just 1.1 miles away we decided to walk it, only it turned out to be 2.8 miles.Listed in: Sonoma County

Made a return visit to Sonoma county and had to hit this place again. It was even better than our last visit. We had the smoked pork tacos which were unbelievably flavorful and the meaty baby back ribs. Coming from Nashville you would think we would stay away from BBQ in California but, it was some of the best we've ever had. This place makes me want to move to Guerneville. As another reviewer said, it's a short drive from downtown but well worth it. Every place we ate in the area was pricey but we got out of The Hideaway for under $50 and that was with wine! The service is quick and very friendly. Can't wait for our next visit to this area. I don't know what I'm looking forward to most, wine tasting or The Hideaway! You guys are awesome!

Tara K. is right, it is just called the "Hideaway". I give it 4 stars - these are big portions of homestyle comfort food. My partner had the fried chicken, it was very good. I had the pulled pork in a bbq sauce - very good too. huge portions. Mashed potatoes, gravy with the chicken were great. The fried sweet potatoes with the pulled pork were great. I wouldn't drive from far away to eat here, but if you are in the area and crave comfort food this is the place to go.
Very friendly wait staff. Neat old building. Very crooked floors. Lots of character. -

This place is not fancy but it's a lot of fun and excellent value. We had our wedding reception rehearsal dinner here on sept. 29th. Super friendly bar staff, great food for a group of 30, dirt cheap drinks!

Great comfort food; everyone there is personable; I just tried the Mac & Cheese the other night and yum! The weekly specials are always fresh and delicious; if you have a chance to try the pulled pork - do so. Oh, and the sweet potato fries . . . I could go on, but I have no complaints. Quaint little dining area in a historical building under redwoods; bartenders are all fun too!

I don't believe that this place is called Angie and Geo's Hideaway but just "The Hideaway" because a young couple took over a month ago in this quaint establishment. Four of us were driving from the coast to get inland and decided to stop at this little place. We were all hungry and we decided to try a little hometown restaurant surrounded by beautiful redwoods. I ordered the snapper dusted in cornmeal and for a dollar more instead of regular salad I got a wedge salad. My boyfriend ordered the Sunday Special fried chicken. The wedge was the best wedge salad I've EVER had! Delicious! We received homemade biscuits with apricot jelly and those were awesome ! Fast forward to the main course and we were soooo delighted ! My dish had hushpuppies, fries, and coleslaw. My boyfriends had mashed potatoes and cole slaw. I had enough food that I took it to go. We ordered the desert special lemon cheesecake bar with berries and whipped cream and that was sooo mouth watering. These folks are awesome. The boyfriend does all the cooking while the girlfriend makes the salads, rice, and some other items. They do this ALL on their own!! They are going to need help when the seaon gets warmer with this down home cooking !!! Anyone who sees this review please go check it out if you haven't thought about it. I live in a big city with many good places to go but by far this ranks up there with some of the best I've had. Thank you so much! Oh and by the way .... The cinnamon sugar donuts are delightful !!!

The wife and I stopped here by accident and were glad we did. Great old bar on the Russian River. Beautifully carved bar with what appears to be the area's history carved in the top. Bunch of old timers talking about the old times, great to listen to.
