We really liked this place in downtown Sidney. It was different. On our way down I -75 traveling to…read moreDayton, we were looking for a place that was relatively quick, easily accessible and not too expensive. That usually means choosing a fast food chain location. These chains serve their purpose but aren't much fun. This place popped up on Yelp and turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. The location is a short drive off the highway into downtown Sidney, taking about 4 or 5 minutes to get there from Exit 92. It was located in a retro building on the main intersection in town cross corner from the County Courthouse. Approaching from the West on Court St., it looked a little divey. It looks more pleasantly vintage from the Ohio St. side, which is actually its storefront. Our visit to this place prompted me to do some quick research. The Spot has been in business for over 100 years, opening in 1907. A fire destroyed the original building in 1940 and according to the local paper, "the current Art Moderne-style building was completed in 1941 and still features its original white porcelain tile, mid-century neon sign and iconic diner layout." It truly has a retro feel inside, going more or less for a 1950s aura where you would not be surprised to see Richie Cunningham sitting at a booth drinking a malt. Although the jukebox is digital, the upgrades enacted by the new owners who took over last year generally seem to be spot on. While it looks retro, the infrastructure is in nice shape with a clean, tidy appearance. It's a pleasant place for a meal. The format is walk-up-and-order. The girl working the counter was polite and efficient. To be fair in context, however, we walked in around 6:45 PM on a Wednesday night an hour-and-a-quarter before closing. It was not at all busy when we entered with one party there finishing their meal and only two others who walked in before we left. Hence, efficiency would be expected with no other customers to be served, but I'll still note the good work. The food was up quickly without any issues. We sat in 1950s comfort to enjoy our meal. I had the Turkey Club. It was quite good. I ordered mine with Onion Rings as my wife wanted to split these with me. She had the Swiss Lad sandwich, which she said was also very tasty. We split an Iced Tea which was likewise quite good. With everything, we spent $25.48 for dinner. At less than $13 per person, I was happy with that value. We'll certainly look for this place again when we are passing through Sidney.

Inside was very relaxed, with gangster references, and we were seated right away. Our waitres, Rilyn, was very helpful and recommended a few different items which all sounded good. We started with the onion petals and they were tasty. My husband ordered the hideout burger, my daughter had the chicken bacon ranch pizza, my son made his own pizza, and I ordered the wild russalo chicken tacos. After our first few bites we all said the same thing, it was delicious! Though it did take a little bit of a wait for the food, it was fresh and worth it. Lakeside Hideout is well worth the drive and we will definitely be back! Hopefully next time we can sit outside on the swing seats and play corn hole. Great job Rilyn!

There were eight of us at the party today, with people scattered throughout the main dining room, the bar, and the back dining room. Sadly, there was only one wait staff for everybody, so she ran to keep up. Everybody enjoyed what they ordered. It was freshly prepared and had great flavoring. Prices are fair, and no surcharge was added for the party of eight. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. It was quiet, and because of the ambient noise, we were able to have conversations without yelling at one another.

The only valid gripe about this restaurant I read concerned its ambience being a rather dark restaurant. I can certainly acknowledge that, still its is a large one with plenty of room. They also have an area set aside for parties and events. Service was excellent. Our waitress was courteous, the food came out quick. My mother got some shrimp scampi, baked apples and mashed potatoes she absolutely loved to the point she immediately told me she wanted to return to this restaurant in the future. My brother ordered a farmhand burger, and I got a rack of the baby back ribs. These meals were delicious, hearty, and quite satisfying. One thing we all regret is that we did not take a fresh baked pie home, next time we will. I loved how on the way out you can grab a lollipop, the kid in me loved the idea. Great place! I will return!
