Gloria's - 1/2 portion of the chicken fried steak - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

This was a very cute locally owned cafe in Hydro, OK. The waitresses found it very amusing that I had no clue what calf fries were but gave me a sample anyway. Interesting regional delicacy to say the least. I ordered chicken tenders and onion rings which were home made and fresh. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area, it's leagues above everything else in the immediate area. read more

Gloria's - Calf fries - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

A five star experience! Staff greets you at the door, you seat yourself, and everyone makes you welcome and gets you settled. We got Ice Chest Tea - YUMMY!! Never had, but now it's the new standard for tea. Menu design is one of my favorite touches. Very simple, effective, and successful. We could not get over how kind the waitresses were. Each of them took care of us and made a point to check on us. Everyone went above and beyond!! I'm from out of town but am making sure I come back soon!! read more

Gloria's - Chicken Fried Steak and I like potatoes so mine are doubled - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

This place is amazing! We ordered the Chicken Fry, catfish, and Jimmies chicken. Everyone was fresh and delicious. The coconut pie and carrot cake was heaven!!! read more

We loved Gloria's! If you're hungry for breakfast or lunch and find yourself driving on Rt. 40 in Oklahoma, keep a lookout for a sign for the town of Hydro. Luckily, we pulled in about 1:20 for lunch (they close at 2:00). We went with burgers and fries, and honestly, both of us agreed they were among the best burgers we've ever eaten! Mine had pepper jack cheese and caramelized onions on a very high-quality bun, so delicious! The burger itself was perfectly grilled and all crispy around the edges; burger heaven. The fries were thin and perfectly fried. Our waitress was friendly and nice, and the dining room was clean. If we pass this way again, we'll be sure to stop by! read more

My buddy and I decided to go on a motorcycle ride from Oklahoma City, and ended up in Hinton Oklahoma.. Yikes!! Our plan was to ride and actually head to Eischen's Bar, to check out there fried chicken.. By the time we got to Hinton it was getting late so I looked up spots to eat on Yelp and found this place.. On to the review.. I will admit, we were both skeptical about this place! It didn't help that when we entered, it was only 1 other person eating.. Yikes After looking at the menu I started feeling queasy at the options.. I decided on ordering one of the "local favorites" I got the fried catfish which came with fries and a side of pinto beans (lol) My buddy got the chicken fried steak, which came with mash potatoes, green beans, and a roll.. main meal: Chicken fried steak, and catfish seemed to be made to order because it was a 10-15 min wait which was fine with me.. When the food came out to my surprise, the food looked good! Came out pipping hot and what not.. My buddy said the chicken fried steak was fresh, hot and had good flavor.. He also said that the mash potatoes tasted homemade, and that they were good as well.. My catfish was seasoned nicely, and were nice size fillets (3).. The staff was very friendly, and checked on us.. The price was pretty good as well! I paid like $13.XX for the catfish meal and a drink.. I took 2 bites of the pinto beans and moved them to the side... It wasn't that they were bad, but it just didn't fit the meal to me.. I wouldn't drive all the way out here or recommend to anyone to go to this place, but for the area it was good.. Now if your in the area, sure stop in if your hungry.. read more

Stayed in Hinton and read the reviews on Google. Very nice and clean establishment with a large variety menu. I had the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and it was sooooo good. Will most definitely be back when we visit Oklahoma again. Saw they had a Hot Link basket special. read more

Gloria's - Glorias Kitchen - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

So here's the deal. I've been posting reviews on Yelp for almost 5yrs, and I can count on one hand the number of negative reviews I've written. It never happens! I love to eat, and I am easily impressed, so most everything I write tends to be an easy compliment. Sadly, tonight was the opposite experience. It was the single worst experience I've had! I offer my experience, solely as a warning to future customers, I have no interest nor reason to bash anyone. Four months ago, I decided to that I would host a large event on this weekend (12-14 April) and I reached out to the owner about having a dinner at Gloria's. He was very agreeable and we stayed in touch as the event approached. We showed up at the time he recommended. He said he would be preparing a couple specials that would highly suit a large group and keep the lines moving (BBQ and catfish). I ordered the bbq, and my wife ordered the catfish. My kids requested a kids burger and kids chicken strips. After 30 min, I went to check on my order since people after me were getting their food but we had not. One employee snapped at me, which truthfully shocked me enough that I went to sit down scratching my head, and waited a while longer. As it approached an hour from the time I ordered, I went back. At this point two different staff started arguing with me. One insisted my food was being worked but could offer no estimate of when it would be done. A second insisted I had ordered the "wrong food" and didn't even have an order for me any longer. Finally, the owner stepped in, as two employees were both yelling at me. The owner, who had been sitting there with his friends all along came to apologize for the staffs behavior. Amazingly, he did nothing to actually get my order finished, but only apologized repeatedly for their behavior. A few minutes later, I decided to just go request a refund and chalk this up to a bad choice of restaurant and a place that forgot what customer service meant. As much as it pains me to say it, my recommendation...steer clear of here. On a scale of 1-5, I'd give it a negative three (but the app makes me select at least a one). The owner has my number and I'm happy to discuss, if they feel I've misconstrued or exaggerated any of the events from my visit. Unacceptable! read more

Over the holiday weekend, my wife and I took a day trip to western Oklahoma. We visited Taloga, Seiling, Watonga, Geary, and Hinton. As with any trip I'm always looking for new places to eat. We originally wanted to eat in Seiling, but the place we found was drive-thru only (temporarily). Since it was a road trip I wanted to be able to dine in a restaurant. We then found a place in Watonga, but it wasn't open. After that, we figured we would head back towards I-40. Luckily we found Gloria's Kitchen in Hinton. It ended up being a great place to eat. At first, I was dead set on getting chicken fried steak (I will be going back for it!), but then my wife pointed out the Double G Burger (cheddar & pepper jack cheese, bacon, fried pickles, and A-1 sauce). I heard fried pickles and was sold. It comes with fries, but I swapped them out for the onion rings. My wife went with the catfish basket. I enjoyed my burger. (Pro tip add coleslaw) They have 6 of them on the menu. I'd like to try a few more. The onion rings were legit. Nice and thick with a tasty batter. My wife really liked here choice too. The fried catfish was excellent and so was the coleslaw. The standard french fries were delicious as well. Do you know what the best part of the whole experience was? If you purchase food there you get a free ice cream cone for dessert!!! We didn't try any of the other desserts, but they also have pies and cakes (not pictured). They even serve breakfast. If you're looking to get out of town for a few hours or your traveling on I-40 this is a great place to stop for a while and chow down. I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

Amazing experience. While there needs to be some patience on a Sunday, due to crowd at lunch, it was well worth the wait. Best pinto beans that I have ever had in my life!!! read more

It was extremely busy and quite a wait to order and then a wait to get food. The place was a shit show of church crowd people. Kids running around everywhere and even sticking their fingers in a cake on the dessert counter! A customer was even sticking his hands in the ice machine trying to break up the ice. Zero social distancing during the covid pandemic. Burgers were just ok. Onion rings and fries were good. Would not recommend eating inside when they are busy. read more

We love the catfish and chicken Fry. This is our 2nd time for us to eat here and just can't wait to get our food. Just a short drive from I-40. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Awesome little diner as you enter Hinton. Great burgers, catfish and my wife loves the bacon salad dressing! Check this place out!

They are serving a new Redneck Gumbo this morning! It's a great dish for my road trip brunch! Sweet cornbread, sweet tea and sweet bread pudding! Kiddo had the Grilled ham and Cheese. An added bonus is to scope out the Antique Mall adjoined in the dinning hall. I'm marking this on the map to return on any I40 trips. read more

Great place for a meal around watonga/ el Reno. Try their fried catfish . Plus once again, the atmosphere is really family oriented and people do try to go above and beyond to make your experience one of the kind. read more

We had Virgil's chicken dinner ... DELICIOUS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! Will definitely come back .. A bit disappointed the antique shop is closed down , wanted to walk a bit after lunch but no matter ... 10 Stars if I could !!!! read more

AMAZING customer service. After we ordered and were seated the server informed us one of our menu items were unavailable. They allowed us to choose another menu item without having to pay the price difference even though we were willing to. Our table was also comped dessert for the added wait. I haven't been treated so well by a restaurant in forever. I'm truly happy with my food as well. Everything was cooked perfectly. I will most definitely add this to my most visited places for sure. A definite must visit. And try the bread pudding. It's life! read more

Gloria's - Chicken fried steak - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

I don't make it out to Hinton often, and this place always looks intriguing. The place wasn't busy, so I figured this was going to be a quick in and out. I place my order and grab a seat, 10 minutes later a confused lady walks out with an order similar to mine, but it has a different ticket number,l and, like I said, was similar but not exactly what ordered. So I didn't think anything of it. Another 15 minutes later (now we're 25 minutes waiting for a simple burger and fries) I go up to the counter and ask about my food. I'm met with "Oh, that one went out a while ago." They offered to re-make my order, but at that point if I wait for these guys, I'm going to be late for a meeting. So one of these two things happened: 1) They didn't make my order at all. How this happens with the machines they have, I honestly don't know. OR 2) They messed up my order, and in addition to messing up my number, they then gave my order to some other random person. After they refunded my money, they did offer me a free cinnamon roll, which I politely declined. The staff are extremely polite, but woefully inept. read more

Not fantastic. This is an order at the counter restaurant with very little character. I ordered the comet burger, medium rare. It was over cooked and pretty bland but edible. I could tell the fries were hand cut, but they were lacking flavor. My daughter ordered the chicken tender basket. The chicken was very good, juicy and tender. The fries were the same as mine only less whole fries. She got a lot of little overlooked fry bits that were inedible. My other daughter got the grilled sirloin steak, medium rare. It was also overcooked, but tender and flavorful. The reviews are great and the prices are high, I expected more. We spent $16 per person for food that was only mediocre. read more

Was at Gloria's kitchen in Hinton, OK for the first time Saturday, Sept 26 about 3pm in the afternoon. Heard about it and had to check it out. Glad we did. Nice large dining area with plenty of seating. Have to order from window and they bring it out to you. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich and I the avocado bacon burger. Our sandwiches were great, awesome fries as you can see, hand cut with the dog gone skins on them. Wonderful service and a great place to make a favorite stop when I'm in the area. GOOD BURGER read more

Came in on a Saturday just after lunch so there was no crowd. A couple of tables only but food still came out very late. Probably cause they were understaffed. In terms of bang for your buck it's up there as the portions were huge (as can be seen on the pic of their chicken fried steak). Taste was good and it was served hot. Unfortunately (& probably because of it) that meant the rest of the meal was cold (including my wife's chicken -- which has also dried out). There is an Antiques show room though that helped pass the time while we waited for the food. Ambiance was good and facilities were clean and while slow, the wait staff were very friendly and gracious. read more

Passing through Hinton after camping at red rock canyon, we were looking for a good spot to stop for lunch. Had a bacon cheeseburger and Virgil's chicken. The mashed potatoes with gravy needed a bit of salt, but that was an easy remedy! They were real mashed potatoes (not out of a box which taste super fake). The fries for the burger were thick cut fries that were the perfect amount of soft on the inside and crispy outside. The buffalo chicken burger that someone was eating close by looked amazing as well as the country fried chicken plate. The portions are big so come hungry or be ready for a doggy bag. read more

Gloria's - American Near Me - Hydro, Oklahoma

Worst breakfast we have had. The hash browns was a mouth full off oil and chopped up tater tots. Broken eggs and hard biscuits. Supposed to be open at 7, we called to check what time at 7, drive to the restaurant. All locked up. Had to call again to be let in. No coffee ready. Just overall a really bad experience! read more

We stopped for dinner Saturday night. You order at the counter and they deliver to the table. My husband had the catfish which was very good. The rest of us had 3 different burgers and a grilled cheese sandwich. They were delicious. They let us switch the fries for Tator tots. The girl working the front counter was fast and friendly. We will definitely stop the next time we go through town. read more

I have frequented Gloria's kitchen ever since it opened earlier this year. The food is awesome and the service is great. Can't go wrong with any order. For breakfast the biscuts and gravy is the best I have ever ordered, anywhere. Lunch or dinner you can't go wrong with a buger, which beats out most in OKC, including Irmas and Johnnies. Don't leave without trying the bread pudding that they advertise on the side of the building. It really is award winning, and it can win you over with just a few bites! read more

OMG! Fantastic find when we veered off the highway looking for a bathroom break. Country cookin, huge portions, very reasonably priced, homemade pies and deserts. Wow! We will probably make the trip from OKC just for this next time. And the antique store it's connected to isn't half bad either! read more

What a GREAT find after an afternoon hiking at Red Rock! Food was excellent, including dessert. Good home cooking and service with a smile. We will certainly go back when we're in the area again!! read more

Best discovery in a long time. Had Sunday lunch; food was great and service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. Make time to shop in the antiques and collectibles mall also. Well worth the short drive from OKC. We will definitely return soon. read more

We found this gem via Yelp on our way home from vacation. The food and services were impeccable, highley recommend the chicken bites.

Good home cooking! I was greeted by a couple of delightful women who made me feel at home. I ordered the chicken fried steak. It was a bit heavy on breading, but otherwise was excellent. Yummy gravy! The serving was ginormous, so I immediately asked for a "to go" box. Consider splitting this one with someone unless you want leftovers. The sides (mashed potatoes and green beans) were just OK. The staff was very attentive and friendly. You order at the counter and they bring your food out. Even though I got my first glass of tea, the servers refilled it for me, even getting the "half and half" sweetness I requested just right. Their specialty is bread pudding, which looked good, but I had a long drive ahead, so I didn't try it. If I had attempted to eat dessert, I might have burst. There is a cute little antiques store attached. This place has the look and feel of a friendly neighborhood place. It's just a short hop from I-40, and definitely worth a little side trip! read more
