Named one of the best hometown diners in Ohio! We feed you like family, and have since 1946! In this age of fast food, quick marts, and carry out faux food, we are proud to foster a family-friendly experience featuring “slow” food in a fast world. Hyde’s Restaurant, A family affair. After WWII, brothers Jim and Hub Hyde, born in a poor coal-mining town in Eastern Kentucky, moved to Hamilton, Ohio in search of work. In August 1946, they saved some money and brought an ice cream shop, which soon became Hyde’s Restaurant. Over the years, the diner grew in size and menu – hamburgers and ice cream expanded to fried chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, fish dinners, and then homemade pies.
Casual diner serving burgers, classic American entrees & housemade pies since 1946.

Reviews
“Meh” is feeling like I rounded up on this review. Pretty much everything went wrong during our first (and hopefully last) visit. The place was packed, the waitress forgot damn near everything we ordered, the food was far from “good” and several items had to be re-made because they arrived completely wrong or gross.
How exactly do you put out a plate of eggs and potatoes where the scrambled eggs are inconsistently cooked (ie. partially raw) while the potatoes range from crunchy to burned if it’s a signature item on your menu?!?
Holding a table for us because we called was unfortunately the only thing they got right.
Banana Cream Pie (homemade) has thick cuts of banana with a meringue style whipped topping. It’s sweet but not too sweet. Very much a banana pudding (without the wafers) type pie topped with a whip that almost has a campfire feel to it. They do offer a “Hap-Pie Hour” special in the afternoons for pie and coffee for a late day pick me up!
The Kitchen Sink Breakfast is the ultimate scramble bowl with a biscuit, gravy, choice of one egg (how you like, I chose sunny), one meat (sausage, bacon, bologna, I chose bologna), cheese and the option to add potatoes (shredded or diced, I chose diced). It is warm and good, taste is flavorful with a nice balance in every bite. (Would definitely order again!) I opted for hot sauce (Tabasco is my go to!)
The staff? Some of the nicest I have met on my travels, warm and real. 10/10 experience and food, heavily recommend for anyone in the area (come here’s or from here’s) for a laid back dining experience.
They do serve breakfast all day long!
The biscuits were fluffy and buttery, toasted beautifully, but felt like they came from a can. The sausage gravy didn’t have much in the way of sausage or seasoning. Nothing some salt and pepper didn’t help. The homefries were unseasoned but browned on one side.
We each had a slice of pie: lemon (meringue) and custard. The meringue was very sweet and fluffy, pairing wonderfully with the bitter lemon curd filling. The custard had a hint of cinnamon and sugar – just enough to add personality.
Worth a try if you’re in the area. Don’t hold them to a high bar and focus on the service and pies.
REAL gravy…not that canned or packaged garbage. Great biscuits and potatoes, perfect eggs.
And, our waitress Amy was fantastic.
Wife had French toast which she enjoyed. I had the Western omelette that was cooked perfect. It was a stuffed omelette with more topping on top and the hash browns are crispy and tasty and not overly salty.
The biscuit was the real star of my meal. These are never frozen. Never out of a can-biscuits made fresh each day and you will tell that from the first bite you take. No butter needed because the butter is baked right in.
Service was great even though they were very crowded. We had to wait slightly longer than normal for a meal but they kept us apprised of the wait and the meal was delivered very hot and fresh off the grill.
We will be back and would encourage you to go if you’ve not been there before.
RESTAURANT I have been coming here my entire life and have never been disappointed over 50 years of great food and service.
