The Hideaway, Barbecue restaurant in Odenton, Anne Arundel County, US.
The Hideaway is a barbecue restaurant in Odenton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, that smokes meats over pecan wood and serves dishes such as pulled pork, ribs, and smoked meatloaf. The dining room has been renovated and offers a relaxed, casual setting for guests.
The building was home to Jim's Hideaway, a seafood restaurant that served the community for nearly four decades. In February 2023, new owners took over and opened the current barbecue operation.
The Hideaway occupies a building that locals have long associated with casual dining, and many guests come in for lunch or after work. The smell of pecan wood smoke drifting from the kitchen signals the kind of low-and-slow cooking that defines barbecue culture in this part of Maryland.
The restaurant is centrally located in Odenton and easy to reach by car, with parking available nearby. Visitors who come on weekends or during evening hours should expect it to be busy, so arriving early is a good idea.
One standout dish on the menu is the Waffled Pig, which pairs cornbread waffles with mashed potatoes, pulled pork, and savory gravy. The combination of breakfast texture and slow-smoked meat makes it a dish that many regulars come back for.
