Hyde's Restaurant, Inc.

Moving reviews over from Yelp. Published 9/2/19 and haven't been back: "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.

1st time visit, definitely not last time. Very homey place, very busy. First the 3 of us split a half order of biscuits and gravy. Delicious. I had pancakes, eggs and bacon. Kim had ham and beans with fried potatoes and cornbread. Teri had fried chicken with coke slaw and mashed potatoes. We took home a piece of lemon melange pie. All delicious. Rhianna was a Fantastic waitress. One negative was no real butter only a butter spread that was 40% vegetable oil.

Quaint throw-back diner feel where you walk in and can tell the coffee will be simple yet perfect, the staff seasoned and friendly and the patrons are weekly regulars. 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 flav

Hyde's is one of those mom and pop type of hidden gem restaurants. Almost everyone there was a regular and interacted with the staff with a familiarity borne of years of meals. The menu is small but the food came out fast. We came for the pie but had breakfast, too. 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.

My friends and I visited for the first time. Absolutely fantastic. We all got "The Kitchen Sink". REAL gravy...not that canned or packaged garbage. Great biscuits and potatoes, perfect eggs. And, our waitress Amy was fantastic.
