The Hillbilly Hideaway
The Hillbilly Hideaway began as simply a joke between a few friends. However, a popup camper was purchased as the idea grew. Once the camper was opened, I KNEW there was no way that it could be used to camp in, so I began to tear it down on the inside. Once all the canvas was down and wood replaced inside, it received a inside and outside power washing and bleaching. Once completed, I began to purchase items for cooking, like the grills, utensils, etc. Next, I tested the water system, drainage, propane hookups and wiring. All was good. It started on Saturday June 29th 2023 with the Grand Opening. There were Street Tacos, both Steak and Chicken, Fajitas and Quesadillas. Little did I know, we sold nearly 300+ shells on that day! I knew I had to go further, so I looked up how to get a business license, obtain Safe-Serve Certification, get approved from the State Health Department and obtain an EIN for Taxes. All that was completed in less than a week and officially The Hillbilly Hideaway was now born a “business”. Tents were donated and people began to talk about the low prices, big servings and amazing food. Now listed on Google Maps, Waze, Google Search and many more with continuing 5 star reviews, The Hillbilly Hideaway is growing. By Mid-July 2023, The Hideaway became mobile. The hitch was put on the vehicle and people are asking to book it out for their private events, campgrounds and more into 2024 already. The Hideaway has become a staple in Central and Southern Illinois now, and has found it’s vision with snack and drink options leaning towards State Fair type catering. We are available year-round!
