Comfort food & American standards in a casual dining room, plus a bar & regular weekend specials.
"The American restaurant opened in, yes, Hyde Park in 1982 with a timeless menu full of comfort dishes, including perfect fries, chicken fried steaks, and bacon-glazed meatloaf, along with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The dining room is a throwback to early ‘60s decor, with shades of chocolate brown, mint green, and light blue that are only interrupted by all the art for sale that is on display. Pickup orders can be placed online." - Melanie Haupt
"The Hyde Park American restaurant is serving its usual Thanksgiving meal again this season. Expect the same menu, including oven-roasted turkey breasts paired with herbed cornbread stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and more (there should be a vegetarian version too) and desserts (with pies). Hours are from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The old-school restaurant dips the iconic potato sticks first in buttermilk, then in flour, and then fries them for a delicious, tangy take on the side, served with secret sauce. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The American restaurant opened in, yes, Hyde Park 41 years ago with a timeless menu full of comfort dishes including perfect fries, chicken fried steaks, and bacon-glazed meatloaf since 1982. Unfortunately, its second location down in Westgate closed in September 2023. Pickup orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Melanie Haupt, Erin Russell
