Next door to Phở Saigon and the Harkins Theatres Tucson Spectrum 18, a Utah-based restaurant is planning to open its doors to Tucsonans for the first time. Hideout Steakhouse & BBQ, which also has a location in Casa Grande, is hosting its Grand Opening on Monday, April 3 at 5475 S. Calle Santa Cruz #101.
The owner of the restaurant chain, Todd Gillespie, has been wanting to expand to Tucson for its incredible culinary scene, and a handful of his staff grew up in Tucson and look forward to the new spot, too.
At Hideout Steakhouse & BBQ, you’ve got the option to order your steak in a traditional manner — prepared in the kitchen — or you can take the reins and grill that slab of meat yourself. They’ll bring out your steak raw on a piping-hot stone so you can let it sizzle and keep it warm while chompin’ down on it.

Hideout Steakhouse & BBQ also serves the common steakhouse cuisine like grilled burgers, pulled pork, smoked ribs, jumbo salads, cowboy appetizers like bacon-wrapped jalapeños and smoke wings, and Fettuccine Alfredo. Plus, milkshakes, ice cream, and pies galore.
The other two locations (one in Utah and the other in Casa Grande) offer breakfast but the Tucson location will not be offering it right away (stay tuned). Also, there’s a full-service bar to wash down your lunch or dinner.
Once the restaurant opens on Monday, April 3, the hours of operation will be 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Hideout Steakhouse & BBQ is located at 5475 S. Calle Santa Cruz #101. For more information, visit hideoutsteakonastone.com and follow Hideout Steakhouse & BBQ on Facebook.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
