Best onion burger in the state of Oklahoma, service was good and friendly , haven't been here in years, still awesome

Awesome food! Bests onion burgers and steak sandwiches! Shoestring type fries are a must!!! Small homey place. Must go when in El Reno or Yukon!!! read more

Fantastic burgers and service. Best onion burger anywhere. Fries and onion rings are also delicious, hot, crispy. And the shakes are the best around! Especially banana and peanut butter. read more

Damn that was a good burger. Came from DFW Texas and this place is everything you'd think. Super classic diner look. Way bigger burger and better price than I expected. Amazing family and service real personable. Small inside but great patio and space outside. read more

So there is good and bad news. I'll start with the good. Kudos to the inviting, social atmosphere, the warm and engaging staff and belly up to the counter service..The clean and organized spaces..The historic decor and design, embracing roadside Route 66 and our military veterans. This place is truly a unique gem and I love all of that... ..BUT...Now for the bad news. Food is surprisingly AVERAGE. Not only is their onion burger NOT top 5 in the country, it's not even the best burger in El Reno! Onions are burned into the patty, too black and charred for me. Taste too bitter, it overwhelms the flavors of any onion or beef. What little I could taste of the patty had too little seasoning, overcooked and dry inside, burger served barely warm, not even hot enough to melt the cheese. Tomato watery, shredded lettuce blah. I've seriously had better at an IHOP (no kidding, angus burger) Beyond the burger, fries were too oily, not crispy enough. Coney slaw is actually just a sweet pickle and mustard relish, all sweet, no bite at all. I love the place itself, the immortal small town diner and the lovely family running it. But I expected more from the food. read more

Today I happened to be in El Reno and decided to order Sid's to take home and eat. I did a quick search online and noticed you could order through CHOWNOW with no extra fees so I ordered our food, headed to Sid's drive thru and the line moved pretty quickly. Food was great we will definitely be back. Thanks for a wonderful lunch. read more

The burgers are amazing. It's a small place but they have an enclosed patio with additional seating. Busy at lunch time but that's to be expected when the food or so good - well worth the wait (which really wasn't long at all). read more

Great burger! I stopped here on a trip across the country and it was so worth it. Sit at the counter across from the grill.

Cute little place! They have counter seating, a couple of tables and a couple of booths. Service was quick and friendly ! Food was good and hot! I don't know what more we could've asked for read more

No doubt the best hamburger in the state. The char burger is incredible. The fries served piping hot. Servers friendly and very efficient. Adam the owner and cook is very nice. read more

Believe the hype. On a cross-country road trip from Ohio to Arizona we made a specific stop here and not only was it worth it - it was hands down the best meal of the trip and I'd drive 12-hours back for another one. Even though we showed up on a weekday, at lunch time there was a moderate wait but it was totally worth it. The three of us ordered three single onion burgers, one order of fries (they're LARGE), plus a malt and that was plenty for our crew. Don't forget some of their homemade relish. Staff was as friendly as the local sitting at the counter. Can't wait to return. read more

Absolutely delicious burgers - and a nice selection to choose from. I ordered their "world famous" and it did NOT disappoint!! Our future trips from Iowa to Arizona will all revolve around stopping at Sid's!! read more

This food was just like the "fast" food of the olden days. Hot and fresh, toasted bun, real mayo. The half order of fries/tots/onion rings is the perfect Size for smaller appetites. Food was served piping hot. read more

Burgers are the best in town. However, when you call in an order and you pull up there, is somebody sitting in the drive-through you know your order is ready however, they've just made their order and instead of asking them to pull back around they sit there while your order is already completed and gets cold. That's my only negativething about this place read more

Awesome food. Outstanding service. Friendliest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet and dine with. The staff and other patrons made me feel like I was dining in their home. Adam, Carmen and Marty, Thank you for the Amazing Food on my Amazing Journey and your friendship. From classic breakfast favorites, chicken fried steak with eggs to the Famous Onion Burger, steak and shake special, hot dogs, chili Frito pie.. just go enjoy everything they offer, you won't regret it. I drive 1500 miles one way to eat here! That should say something. read more

I went 1,000 miles for this burger with absurdly high expectations and I was not disappointed in the slightest. Incredibly friendly people and amazing food and shakes. The interior is super home-y and wholesome as well. For sure try the regular fried onion burger, but really can't go wrong. read more

Female manager that cooks in the afternoon is a bitch. Workers never listen to what people say when they answer the phone, always getting orders wrong that are called in. Would much rather go to Johnnie's or Robert's whereas they are actually family friendly. read more

Best onion burgers. The service was outstanding. Lunch time is always busy so we had to wait for 5 minutes before we could sit down. The ambiance of the building looked old fashioned. read more

This place is THE place to go in Oklahoma.... no, strike that! THE PLACE to go if you want the best onion burger you can possibly get your hands on. The burgers are next level, the staff is friendly af, the atmosphere is on point, and the diner itself is legit. The absolute real deal. Small, quaint, cute... call it what you want. Truth is, this place is the CHAMP of onion burgers. My gf told me about this place (NO CLUE how I had never heard of it - *crawls out from under rock*) and we headed over to El Reno a couple days later. We'd totally LOVEto film an episode of 420 Eats (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClUsUSHvF2oLBVifYil3DCw) at Sid's and showcase just hot EPIC their onion burgers are. Fingers crossed. Good Lord willin', we'll have that opportunity. If you haven't had a buger from Sid's, change that ASAP and GET IT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!! - Shiner read more

Was really looking forward an onion burger. Heard great things about them. Unfortunately the onions were burnt and ruined the entire experience. Since this was a To-Go order, not much could be done as we were just passing through. The French fries were awesome. Would try it again if we were in the area, but would check them out before we left. read more

We deliberately scheduled a stop here during our recent trip from Florida. It was our wedding anniversary and I told my husband to take me to Sid's for our anniversary dinner. Because we travel with our dog, we ate outside on one of their picnic tables. It was 93° yet the awning shaded the table. Also a nice breeze helped keep us cool. We each ordered an onion burger and shared an order of fries. My drink was a refillable iced tea. My husband got a chocolate shake that met his expectations. The fries were exactly as we like them, yet we couldn't finish all of the generous order. The burgers were delicious, just as I expected. This cute, kitschy Route 66 diner is fun. Sid's definitely lives up to the hype. We will return. It's worth the trip from Florida! Happy anniversary to us. read more

Outside: Standalone diner Inside: Classic 50s diner Food: Classic 50's diner! Service: Fast and friendly Price: $~10/pp Best. Burger. Ever. Read that above line again. If that doesn't make you want to go to Sid's I don't know what else I can tell you but let me try and round out the picture anyhow. Sid's is a classic 50's American diner. They've got 50's music coming through the speakers, memorabilia and many write ups about how great they are on the walls, and photos honoring American service members. It's got a very classic American vibe. They've got a relatively extensive menu boasting burger and fries, hot dogs and chili, sandwiches, shakes, biscuits, breakfasts, and more. They also have a little signboard above the grill that highlights just a small selection of the menu. And frankly, this abridged version is really all you need. The fact of the matter is, that if you can get to Sid's regularly, you might have a chance to try it all but if you are just passing through there is only 1 item you need to try: The Fried Onion Burger! I recommend a side of onion rings and chocolate shake to really complete the experience but YMMV. The burger is grilled on the griddle with onions and they crisp and caramelize as the burger cooks. The meat gets nice and crisp on the outside too but still juicy in the middle. The buns are grilled too and the lettuce and tomatoes are fresh. The end result is the most mouthwatering burger I have ever had in my life. Any time I crave a burger I remember this one and wish I lived closer to Sid's. When someone says "burger" THIS burgers is as close to the Platonic ideal of the very concept of a burger as anything I can imagine. Are you still reading this? Is your mouth not watering at the thought of burgery goodness? Put down the phone and get yourself to Sid's. I promise you it will be the best meat-patty-based-decision you'll ever make. read more

What a great place to stop and eat. Loved the hamburger with onions and the French fries and onion ring were great. The staff Was very helpful and nice. We had the granddaughter of the original owner cooking the food. I would highly recommend stopping and eating at this cute restaurant. read more

This local favorite is not my favorite. This diner is a quaint little hole in the wall with all its small town charms. It even enticed Adam Richman from Man vs Food to pay homage to their famous onion burger. I arrived at diner time on a Saturday night and the place was packed with about a dozen people. I wanted a table for two. There was a table and a booth, both with dirty dishes on them. The waitress quickly cleared them off and we were seated at the booth. I ordered a hotdog and onion rings with a diet cola. My wife ordered a BLT and a diet cola. The drink came out with ice top to bottom, very little soda. While waiting for our food I noticed none of the people working the grill were wearing gloves and were handling raw meat and the buns the burgers go on. The grill is right in front of the counter so it was easy to notice. I don't believe that's a good food handling practice. My wife's order came out first. about 6 minutes later my hotdog came out. I had just finished my hotdog when my onion rings came out. I kind of like my food all at the same time. The meal was average at best, but they loose a star for not wearing gloves and handling everything without hand washing. Maybe it's ok to share germs in a small town, but where I come from that's a health code violation. read more

We stopped in El Reno for the night and found Sid's diner serendipitously. What a wonderful establishment! The nostalgia, the multi generational owned business, and Marty! The burgers were great, and it's clear that others think the same thing considering the number of awards they have won with magazines across the country. Thank you for your amazing hospitality Marty! read more

They are friendly and breakfast taste great. Burgers are great to. They have outside seating so there is alotof room.

Best burger! We stopped in on a cross country trip and so glad we did! Restaurant is tiny inside, there is seating outside. Was very busy when we were there. Only downside is they have you pay at the cash register, which is right by the door, which leads to a very long, congested line trying to get in or out the door. read more

Great prices compared to other fried burger restaurants. The portion size is XLARGE. Great cheese fries, steak sandwiches, and shakes.

I had to go to El Reno to cover a story and saw that thus burger joint had a lot of reviews and I checked it out and I fell in love. It's small and homey and the burgers taste so natural and full of flavor. We even ran into the city mayor enjoying a burger here so it has to be the best in town. read more

Quintessential diner fare here -- onion burgers and fries. (I mean, you're in El Reno, people, and this town has always been known for its onion burgers, and for its Coney Islands.) The service I received on my last visit was friendly but cursory -- just what I expected in a place that stays consistently busy. I seldom make it as far west as El Reno; that's true. But, on the rare occasion that I make it out this far into Canadian County, it's basically de rigueur to stop into a local eatery for the El Reno classic -- a big, greasy onion burger. P.S.: This place has the best fries in town. Period. read more

This place is incredible. Got the regular 1/4 buger with fried onions. Possibly the best burger of my life. Fast and courteous service. But, I repeat, possibly the best burger of my life. Also, drove through a torrential rain storm and maybe a flash flood to get here. It was worth it. read more

On a recommendation from friends we tried their coneys. I really liked the slaw they put on them. I added white onions to mine & I also ordered another hotdog only since it comes with one. I wasn't sure of the hotdog size since their coneys are $4.50. We had to wait for a table since it was full. It's a small dining space. Next time we are going to try their hamburgers which looked really good. read more

So as I work in El Reno I knew about Sid's onion burger from way back when. So I as I was driving by one day I thought to myself why haven't I ever given them a review because they have great onion burgers. So I found a places to park my truck and went in to have a delicious burger. As I sat down at the counter the pleasant and friendly staff took my order. I ordered a regular double onion cheese burger with all the fixings, half order of fries, and a Dr. Pepper. The burger is worth every penny of the $6. read more

This will be a must stop for when I come back through Reno. read more
