El Reno is one of the great tourist stops along Route 66, known for Ft. Reno, the Rock Island Line, its many murals, its historic downtown, and, last but certainly not least, its onion-fried hamburgers. It even has an annual celebration in May to honor the creation.
There are a number of diners to honor this culinary delight in El Reno, but Team Blakelylaw believes Sid's is the best. The diner has a full menu, but we don't have a clue what's on it; the sign above the grill with the burgers, shakes, and hot dogs listed is more than enough for us. DO NOT SUPERSIZE anything when you order unless you're splitting your fare with an army.
For a show that rivals Benihana's, get there right before the lunch crowd on a nice Saturday and sit at the counter right across from the hamburger grill. Amazingly, regardless of how busy they are, the orders are correct, everyone is friendly, and the service is great.
Since this is the Route 66 Category, I will note that the route goes right by Sid's corner.
