Sid's is a great little stop in El Reno, Oklahoma! Soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with big smiles. It looks like a small diner on the outside but inside it's filled with old memorabilia and pictures everywhere. There is booths, tables and a bar counter to sit at. You can watch the cooks prepare your meal while you wait and some regular customers they knew by name. This diner was featured on Food Paradise, Bizarre Foods, Man vs. Food, Food Network's Top 5 Burgers and The Travel Channel. Our meal was made perfectly and so delicious. The cost was around $30.00 for a party of 3, not bad for the amount of food you get on your plate. We'll definitely be back. read more

Good burger, crammed place as expected friendly service. 3/5 onion burger. It's nice that this place is next door to Johnny's and others.

The owner likes to make threats in messages when you give him a bad review. As you can it's working and I'm terrified to say anything

Definitely, a place that cooks with love/passion not obsessive ego's. Place is clean and well taken care of. They've stuck to their roots. Have yet to hear of anyone, leaving with a bad taste in the mouth. Whether, it's the food or customer service. Sid's diner can truly make you feel as if it's the first cheeseburger you've ever had. Fresh ingredients & great cooking. If you're ever in the area, or passing through. I definitely, recommend to make this a place to stop at. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to my friends and family. read more

We visited Sid's before our son's football game and enjoyed it SO MUCH!! The staff was just as awesome as the food! We enjoyed it so much we ran by after the game so our football player could experience the awesomeness! It was 7:45pm and they close at 8pm. They weren't hesitant at all to whip up a quick cheeseburger and even a few malts for the road! They were SO NICE!! I'd recommend Sid's to everyone!!! read more

Without a doubt, the worst burger I've ever had in my life. And the driest, most tasteless fries. By all accounts this place once earned its reputation, but it absolutely does not any longer. And someone should introduce them to the concept of salt. Stay away. read more

Love the burgers and fries! Service is great too. Food is plentiful enough to share. You won't be disappointed.

Burgers were okay, but definitely not worth the headache of trying to get inside the tiny building and dealing with rude workers.

We love Sids! It's always cooked after ordering and worth the wait. Tip: We go through the drive-thru and get our order to go so we can picnic as a fam. (The inside is the size of my closet so we would rather eat outside and spread out a bit. ;) We usually get burgers & fries, but their corn dogs & hotdogs are good if that's more your jam. Note- they now take card so you don't have to bring cash unless you're tipping through the drive-thru. read more

As sacrilegious as it sounds, this OKC kid had never had a real onion burger before today. I had to be in El Reno this morning and as I was passing Sid's on the way back to the city, I decided to stop for lunch, even though it was only 10:40 AM. I was not disappointed. It was like stepping into a time machine and visiting a different era. There is an amazing lunch counter that clearly hasn't changed since well before I was born. The super friendly staff maneuver the small but quaint space like they have been doing it their entire lives. And still manage to great and chat with each person that comes through the door. There were old timers swapping chances to tell stories of high school football from the 60's and 70's, and treating the group of new young coaches like celebrities as they enjoyed a late breakfast. The entire experience is like a page right out of classic Americana. Things really do feel different in a small town. In fact, as I was leaving an older gentleman stopped me, said bye, and said "you come again, young man, ya hear?" Overall, it is worth a visit, or even a short road trip. And the food is great too, but the portions are huge. The waitress told me that she would Get me a half order of fries because the full order was too much... I didn't make it through a quarter of the half order. read more

Over priced but good I enjoy the food every time we go I think the menu is on the pricey side

The fried onion burger was really tasty! It was just my dad and I, and we got there just before the lunch rush on a Wednesday. We sat at the bar, with a good view of the grill. Everything is made to order. The cook smashes a generous handful of onion strips into the patty. It's very juicy and great with melted cheese. When you order a shake, they fill a colored cup, but they leave the metal mixing cup with the rest of the shake with you. Fries are crispy. You definitely want to anticipate the rush because there isn't much room on the inside. There was a toddler in a high-chair set OVER a bar stool, happily munching on a corn dog. read more

I do not like to give out 2 star reviews but unfortunately I must give Sid's a 2 star. This diner is a small hole in the wall, and considered a local favorite famous for their onion burgers. We decided after a 14 hour drive on our road trip from WI back home to AZ, and rumbling bellies to stop into Sid's. It was a Saturday evening and the place was hoppin'. There was not one place to sit and we were crowded as we had to wait in the door way while the waitress cleared off a table for us to be seated, at first I wasn't sure if she was going to even wipe off the table, but after we sat down she came by and wiped it down. She took our drink orders, and when she brought out my Diet Pepsi, it was filled to the top with ice, with very little room for the soda. I ordered a B.L.T on wheat toast. I was disappointed in the sandwich, the toast was toasted perfectly, but that was about it. The bacon was too crispy, it had shredded lettuce, and the tomatoes were mushy. After my first bite, I discovered that there was no mayo on the bread, and I found a bottle on the table, and added some to my liking. The sandwich came with 4 dill pickle slices as a side. I tried some of my husband's onion rings, and they were okay. Another reason for the 2 star review would be the fact that the grill cook was cooking the food without wearing gloves, or washing/sanitizing hands after handling the food, especially the raw meat (This is basic food handling safety that most people should know as it is common sense..) The diner itself besides being small, was fairly clean, well lit, and the wait staff was friendly enough. I have experienced way better, and honestly do not think I will visit Sid's if I am ever passing through El Reno again. read more

After my first 5-star rating, I learned a lesson; there is always room for improvement. Never again would I give a fiver! Hehehe! My Bride and I, are on our first day of storm chasing, but there's nothing but blue skies to be had. We decided to go food chasing...why not? Time to break out the YELP MACHINE! We started searching for diners, or funky dives around OKC, and zeroed in on this gem. Six, and half hours later found us checked into our hotel, and headed to Sid's for the feast called the Onion Burger. I NEVER put onion on my burgers, but I had to give it a shot...was not disappointed. My wife ordered the Regular Deluxe, and I ordered the King Deluxe, and fries. We both had a root beer...a Budweiser would have been great...hmmm. When our order arrived it was fresh out of the oil/hot off the grill. The pictures of the King does not do it any justice. The patty was as big as my face. Our burgers were cooked medium to perfection, and dressed with fresh lettuce, and tomato, pickles on the side. Our server was absolutely attentive, without "hovering", and I can only presume he was the owners son. The owner, Marty, came over to chit-chat, and was blown away by the fact that we drove from Louisiana, specifically to eat at his diner...and boy, am I glad we did. This joint hit it out of the park! Never have I had such a burger, and I will gladly say it will. Not. Be. The. Last! To the whiners, "I got a cup full of ice, and hardly any soda", they will refill your cup. Edit...they now accept credit cards. read more

Sid's is always great. Their service is always friendly & they are there to make the customers happy. Never had a bad meal from Sid's. If you like the old time Diners, Sid's is the place to go. The ambiance is that of a true diner from the 60's. read more

Sid's is great choice for a food adventure. The burger was cooked to perfection and tasted heavenly. The fries were hot and fresh and allowed you to add the perfect amount of salt. Would I come back? You betcha!! So I did. This morning we came back for breakfast. OMG! Cooked to perfection, eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast. Better bring your appetite because you're gonna need it. Finally took pictures. By the way that's no space station, that's the sausage patty! read more

The best onion burger when they don't burn the onions.The shakes are great French fries,and onion rings Very good.

I've just about given up eating hamburgers but Sid's Diner proved there really is a great tasting hamburger in the world. I wasn't able to finish it, I have a small appetite but I really wanted to. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were so friendly, what a great place. Never would have stopped if I hadn't found it on Yelp. read more

Wish I could give it 6 stars! Classic American Diner, right on the corner of Route 66. Sid's is known for the Original Onion burgers Friendly people, superb atmosphere, and great american road food. I enjoyed my visit to this Iconic location where a lot of the Food Network Shows have visited over the years. It really takes you back to a great time and place, I wish we had a local place like this in my home town. When you walk in you are met with a Patriotic Wall Dedicated to Military Veterans. I waited for a empty stool to try these burgers and a small fry. Food was served fast and the bun was very warm. Adam the cook gave me a little more insight on Sids and El Reno while l was enjoying this Iconic burger. The current location of Sid's use to be the location of the El Reno Hotel. I highly recommend you make a stop by Sid's read more

I hadn't had an authentic Oklahoma onion burger since college, so Sid's was a must. Sitting at the counter so you can see your burger being made is part of the experience at this family run business. The burgers are impossible to describe, if you haven't had one of these before. The first timer with me loved the atmosphere almost as much as the burger and fries, which she feels was the best meal on our trip. read more

Sid's is a classic burger joint that is nationally known for its fried/grilled onion burgers. Sid's is your typical diner style restaurant with stools and a couple of tables but its onion burgers are definitely worth the drive from OKC if you haven't tried them. The 1/4 pounder is perfectly cooked and not to salty which I've found with other onion burgers. Now, I wouldn't say this is a top-3 or top-5 burger in the US but because of its originality and quality/value it deserves the attention and it's reputation is well deserved. The half order of fries is more than enough for 2 people. They have a nice patio to sit outside, you just have to order inside and wait for the pager to ring/vibrate. At peak hours you'll have to wait a while but it's part of the experience, just enjoy it. read more

Can't say enough about this place. It's well deserving of all the accolades it's been given over the years. If your on I-40 stop in Reno and try it out. read more

So we heard about this place in a magazine article describing iconic regional places to eat. On a recent trip we were on Interstate 40 and I stopped by. Now this is the deal with us- I do not like raw onions, and my wife loves onions, but does not like hamburgers. Well, this meeting of onions and burgers was almost like the "peanut butter in my chocolate, chocolate in my peanut butter" type of thing. I loved my cheeseburger, and my wife liked her cheeseburger also. She did not like it as much as I did, but she almost finished it. The fries were also good, but the burgers with onions stole the show. I wish we would have been back on Interstate 40 on the way back, but we came home a different route. We used the drive thru, it must be fun to eat at the counter to watch the preparation. So happy that we heard about this place from that magazine, it was Better Homes and Gardens of all things. read more

Made a stop by Sid's after camping at Red Rock Canyon. Breakfast King burger with cheese and tots was just as tasty as expected. They have expanded their menu since my last stop so I was pleasantly surprised with their breakfast menu. Eggs over easy were spot on, hash was buttery and the bacon was thick and to die for! Loved their picnic bench covered patio area since we still had the schnauzer covered in dirt and we hadn't bathed in days. Wonderful little patio with full service! read more

I saw this place on Man vs. Food, and on my move from San Diego to Nashville, I wanted to make sure I tried it out. I wasn't disappointed. The onions grilled in the burger patties really change the flavor of the whole burger, and the amount of food that you get for the price you pay is ridiculous: it's such a cheap meal! read more

Great, wholesome, kind, comforting, caring, and hospitable are what come to mind with this experience. Great people; salt of the earth. I ordered the regular double deluxe with cheese and fried onions, and a side of french fries. The burger was amazing, but the fries were a disappointment. It may have been a fluke, but I am sad it was like this. It didn't ruin my experience a single bit though. I will visit this place again. Cash or check! read more

Being a yelper for six years , I don't know why I have not wrote about Sids yet! Hands down my favorite burger place. Been coming here since 1995 and nothing has changed! We (my family) discovered all the burger joints in El Reno during Burger Day back in 1995 when we moved from California , which is a festival held every year on the first Saturday in May! Sids is #1 ! Growing up in El Reno , this is the best place to get an grilled onion burger or chili coney with slaw! You'll be hooked, that you will crave it at random! I'm not in shock that they were on tv at all!!! They deserve it! The best combination is , grilled onions , pickles, and mayo...... PERIOD! Also, grab a jar of the slaw because the cravings are real! .... your welcome read more

Wish I had the photos to post. Great food, excellent prices. Will repost as soon as I go back .

Best onion burgers and hotdogs in the world, say hi to Marcy!! Don't forget to get the fries or tots!!

This is a decent little place. It's tiny inside so don't be shocked if there is literally no place to sit. They are kind of expensive but I stop there every time I go to El Reno. I'm really particular about onions on my burger so I don't get the onion burger from here. To me, the onions are badly burnt. Half of them are black and dry, and the other half are almost raw. They say they are caramelized, but caramelized onions should be golden and slightly soft with a slight crunch when cooked correctly. The burgers themselves are really good. The fries are good too and all the employees are friendly. Bring cash or a check. They don't accept any debit or credit cards here. read more
