At the corner of Valley and Forest streets, in the shadow of Our Lady of the Valley Church, HAT CITY KITCHEN is a restaurant in an old building with an awesome vibe. Rated a 3 star restaurant, HCK is also a live music venue with entertainment several nights a week, offering open mic jams, blues jams and presenting national, regional and local musicians, bands and artists.

"Our emphasis is on quality and integrity. We offer American Comfort foods with an influence from New Orleans. By focusing on a simple menu, we have the ability to perfect an artisanal process, creating the best food imaginable. We have created an experience that has broad appeal to families, foodies and critical Epicureans at an affordable price."

All profits from Hat City Kitchen go to support the revitalization of the Valley neighborhood.

True to Orange's history as a small city where culture and commerce meet in the street, Hat City Kitchen is a happy collaboration of art, urban planning, food and music, playing for the neighbors late into the night.
