Hyde Diner - Patty melt - Diners Near Me - Cortland, New York

Excellent food was the best thing at Hyde's Diner! Scrumptious French toast, eggs, bacon and sausage for under $10! The service was extra friendly and fast. Tanisha is the daughter of the cook and you can tell they love what they do! The vibe was very local inside. Hyde's is run by family and you feel like family when you are there! read more

Hyde Diner - Nothing - Diners Near Me - Cortland, New York

The food was alright but the service was extremely quick, took 3 minutes to bring out 4 meals on a busy day our waiter was very nice and helpful 4 stars read more

We are regulars, and the food is always great, the servers friendly and efficient, and the prices are the best in Cortland. The place is always crowded and a bit noisy and there's sometimes a bit of a wait, but the crowd is mostly older {like us} and friendly. 2 of us can have full breakfasts [check out the "Full Tilt Boogie"] and get out of there for about half of what Perkins gets for "meh". The chili is SUPERB. read more

I had hair in my food, my drink was very watered down the food didn't taste fully cooked and had a funny taste to it and I was sick for 2-4 days after eating there and the owner's daughter is selling meth out of the place. read more

The wait was about 10 minutes, and it wasn't terrible. The food was delicious I didn't have any complaints, the ambiance of this diner is just old people. read more

Today 7/5/23 was our first time here. We hadn't even realized they'd moved into the old Pizza Hut building until we were driving around lost trying to find a doctor's office with the incorrect address. The parking lot was full when we arrived around noon. They have a regular entrance and an accessible entrance on opposite sides of the building. I use a mobility scooter and had no trouble getting into the building. We were greeted by an enthusiastic and smiling face and seated with Lin seconds even though they had to bus the table first. The place was hopping, which we took as a good sign. Our server revealed that she is the daughter of the owner, her mom, who does the cooking. I did not realize until talking with her that this place existed for 22 years in another (out of the way and very small) location. They moved into the current location on May 1. I ordered a Diet Pepsi; my partner asked for a "thick" chocolate shake. The server immediately offered him a glass of water as well, and the drinks arrived super quickly. The shake showed up in maybe 3 minutes and was thick enough that the straw stood up in it. It had a very nice whipped cream "hat." We both had some, and it was delicious. I ordered a grilled Reuben with a bowl of veggie beef barley soup and one blueberry pancake. My partner ordered the French toast platter (2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausage links, 2 pieces of French toast). The food arrived shockingly quickly and everything was hot and fresh. The soup was delightfully thick and tasted like my mom's homemade. This stuff did not come out of a can. The Reuben was perfectly toasted, not soggy, and arrived cut in half with the thousand island dressing on the side. The pancake was easily 8-9" across and thick and full of juicy blueberries. The eggs were a perfect over easy, the French toast was crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, the bacon was nice and crispy, the sausage was perfect. The pancake and French toast arrived with a scoop of butter on top and were hot enough to start it melting right away. The syrup on the table was Mrs Butterworth, which while it's not real maple syrup, it's still a good quality syrup and not some generic drek. The jelly box offered grape jelly, apple jelly, and seedless blackberry jam. Our requests for extra napkins and a small box were fulfilled right away. My partner said the men's restroom was narrow and the trash can was overflowing (not surprising given how busy they were), but clean and fully functional. This was by far the best restaurant experience we've had in a very long time. A+++++ read more

We were customers of Hyde's for many years before they expanded to their "new" location, and we have been fortunate to be able to patronize this location since they moved there in 2023. If you want consistent great food and outstanding service at reasonable prices, look no further! It might get a little noisy, but that is only because they are so popular" for the reasons stated above! We have NEVER had a problem of any kind at Hyde's Diner and always look forward to the next time we can visit them. One of the Servers said her mother (the cook) puts a lot of love into what she does. It certainly shows! Outstanding job Hyde's! read more

An old school diner with no pretentions, lousy parking and tight seating. However, the food is wonderful and hasn't fallen into the "oh God, we have to jack up prices" mantra so many other places have. Service is amazingly friendly and efficient. We had Eggs Benedict and the 2 eggs with sausage and biscuits. Both were delightful. read more

Are food came cold and we waited 1 hour to receive are food! And we watched a waiter dump orange juice on them self and still serve it to the customers! And be prepared when u come here it is always packed and I waited 30+ minutes to be seated read more

wasn't able to eat there, the waitress was to busy flirting and talking about last night with a customer at the bar. stood there for 20 minutes waiting to be seated, with several open tables. place looks like a crap hole and smells bad. definitely won't be returning. NASTY PLACE read more

Terrific old time "greaser spoon" environment. Great food and service. Very popular place for regulars and newbies. Highly recommend for for all full belly breakfast. read more

Get the eggs benedict! This family owned place is a great breakfast and lunch spot. Friendly service and great tasting food.

Great diner! The staff is very friendly. The food is always great. The service is good and quick! Very tiny inside. Definitely a squeeze, especially with a baby in a high chair. But they are very accommodating. read more

I met family here while visiting from Louisiana. Perhaps I'm more used to more seasoned food. I ordered the chicken and biscuits. It was pretty bland. I think perhaps it was a take on chicken and dumplings, which I make but mine is well seasoned. My husband had French toast and loved it however. Service was fantastic and super friendly. I'm sure locals live this place. I think it's just not what I'm used to. read more

Cute little place, mom is in the back cooking and the children are the waitresses. I had a Reuben omelette that was absolutely delicious with hash browns that were cooked perfectly. The coffee was hot and they even toasted my gluten-free bagel. read more

Nothing special about the atmosphere but food was spot on and our waitress Tanesha was absolutely delightful. Our family of 6 ate well and it cost way less than any fast food joint that we could have gone to PLUS they had healthier options available. They were clearly understaffed as you could hear the commotion coming from the kitchen if you listened intently but neither the food nor the service suffered. Will definitely come back whenever we're passing thru Cortland again. read more

Not sure why I haven't ever rated this place, I go there so often my family says if I'm not home try Hydes. I always tell people the food is reliably good, and I genuinely mean it. It's not a gourmet restaurant with fancy food, but it is a diner with simple comfort food worthy of a 5 star rating. I read the one bad review on here and honestly, I'm very surprised. The food is ALWAYS fresh, hot off the grill, and delivered quickly, not saying mistakes can't happen there, of course they can anywhere, but they do have excellent quality and I'm sure they would fix anything if you weren't happy with it. They are family owned and run. If I order my eggs over medium, at Hydes they come out perfectly over medium every time, never slimy or fried hard. Reliably good. My omelette is never brown or greasy, it's always light, and fluffy and cooked picture perfect. Reliably good. Lunch specials such as chicken and biscuits, taste just like my grandma made them, again reliably good. Furthermore, the place is probably the cleanest restaurant in town. I heard the waitress once say the windows are even cleaned daily. Seriously, please send them to my house! One last thing, the home made cinnamon rolls are awesome grilled! read more

My husband and I love Hyde's! I usually get the garbage omelet and hubby will switch up and gets what ever he's in the mood for but there hasn't ever been anything we've gotten that wasn't delish. Every so often they'd have someone who could deliver our food to us, just wish it was always. Staff is very friendly and make us feel as if we were life-long friends, call us by our first name when they see us and even know how we would like certain items made! read more

Great food, wait staff was on point. Don't miss the back page of the menu...there was a whole section of omelets we almost missed. We had all decided and then after finding the back page, we all switched our orders. Meat lovers omelet, garbage omelet and Irish omelet were on the money. Girls working were super friendly and never stopped moving. They are now open for dinner on weekends too. read more

I thought this diner would be great as there were so many cars and trucks in the parking lot. I ordered a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Well, could they spare the tiny and I mean tiny slice of cheese on the white bread that had not melted. The bread was barely grilled and the fries that came within were cold and limp. NOT a good experience. read more

Hyde's is a great diner. I prefer them to some of the other choices here in Cortland. The parking lot is always full (thankfully I'm within walking distance!) and the breakfast food has always been consistent for the last two months I've become a regular patron. I say breakfast food only because I have yet to try Hyde's for lunch, but I'm sure it's just as good. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating even during peak hours. read more

Local breakfast hotspot. Certainly not the best breakfast out there, but good enough and decent prices. Can get crowded and loud depending on when you are there, and the cleaning products / air freshener is obnoxious and over-powering. read more

Love this little diner. We go here for Sunday breakfast. Good food & super great service.

Food is always consistent here. Great variety for such a small place. Super service. Also know from years of experience that it is the cleanest place in town. Only complaint is the lack of parking. read more

The loaded skillet is a game changer. If you go to Hydes always ask about new breakfast items! It seems like they have something new and unique to try every time I pass through. Honestly...I think I could devour a whole sleeve of their French toast bagels especially with some cream cheese and cinnamon sugar. The staff is always friendly and welcoming just as the owner was when I had the chance to meet her! The diner is definitely a hidden gem in the homer Cortland area. read more

What a nice little place. The service was excellent, the waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The food was reasonably priced and good. We will definiately visit again when we are in the area. read more

This is a basic breakfast place and they're pretty good at what they do. The coffee isn't anything special IMO but the food is good and my favorite item on the menu is their fantastic sausage links. They usually have a breakfast special written on the board. Two thumbs up from this reviewer. read more

Hyde's has great home cooked food and friendly staff. We eat there at least once a week and are NEVER disappointed! They are always willing to customize my order, such as letting me pick a different side item with my meal. read more

I have been a fan of greasy spoons my whole life and I haven't found a better one yet. Their food is great. especially the deserts. made by a mother and daughters combo. However its their integrity that amazed me. I once ate there and after an exceptional meal my guest and I mistakenly left a $100 bill along with the tip. I came back for more good food weeks later and when the waitress remembered me she returned the $100. I can assure you these people are of good character but more importantly you have to try the strawberry short cake read more
