What People Are Saying About Hyde Park Bar & Grill
The Editor

In Short – The restaurant has made the transformation from hip-and-happening spot to neighborhood stalwart. It doesn't draw the young trendies anymore, but does seem to appeal to couples and groups of friends from the university and surrounding neighborhods. A hammered-copper bar anchors the retro interior, which is casual and comfortable, but plenty nice for a date. The menu at Hyde Park features burgers, sandwiches, salmon, fresh salads and home-style desserts. Prices are moderate, particularly given the high price of real estate in the area.

Downhill - Quick?
by frfiv40 at Citysearch
What's happened to this once wonderful place? Has it been haunted by a ghost chef who thinks his/her fried chicken actually has flavor (tasteless breading, tasteless chicken meat). Has serving a roast pork in a bowl swimming in gravy become vogue? Try disgusting. Do you really not seat a party of three in a nearly empty restaurant when one party is running late? Do you then try to seat the party at the crossroads of the kitchen and bar, and upon protest seat them in a nearly empty room NEXT to the only other party in the room. And, unlike times in the past, the wait staff was well just .... okay.
- Pros: Fries
- Cons: Service, The Newer Dishes

Excellent Service, Great Food!
by CharlieTaylor at Citysearch
I've been a regular customer of the Duval location for several years, so I thought I'd see what citysearch thought of it. I was so surprised to read the previous review that I wanted to post my own. The management staff is always at the front door, ready to help in any way. The waitstaff is friendly and obviously enjoy working there, and the food is always exactly what you want . Also thier desserts are delicious. Try the bumbleberry pie!
- Pros: consistently delicious food, friendly staff
- Cons: sometimes you have to wait

Terrible Service
by dynamitemissj at Citysearch
Like many others, I USED to be a fan, until my most recent visit this past weekend. The food was tolerable, but what was the most unpleasant was the service. When we entered, no one greeted us, and when we were brought to our table, the host seemed irritated that he had to actually work. Actually, I would say that most of the servers had an irritable attitude. We felt this was strange, since we were not needy customers at all, only requested what we needed, like condiments and what not. No one smiled. This place just had an overall drab vibe to it. It wasn't the worst service of my life, but it was bad enough to make me never want to come here again, and I will also not recommend this to any of my friends, ever again.
- Pros: French Fries
- Cons: Service
