Hickie's Hamburger

A buddy of mine that's local took me here to try it out. This is a classic diner style restaurant in my opinion. The decor is cozy with table, booth, and bar seating options. The air is filled with the smell of their burgers frying on their flattop griddle; which, while I was there, was constant. It's well lit and there's a persistent quiet racket that's to be expected with a busy dinner.

We took a booth and were met with menus almost immediately. The selection was much larger than I expected, but I opted for four double cheeseburgers and fries with gravy. I had been prompted that the burgers were small, so it wasn't like I normally order that many. The burgers come with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard, but I opted to add white onion as well. The gravy fries I heard my buddy order so I decided to give them a shot.

The food comes out quick, I don't think we waited more than 15 minutes honestly. The burgers were really good. The bun was soft and soaked up a little of the grease from the burger. The meat was lightly seasoned and dripped some juice with each bite. A simple, classic, and tasty burger. The fries with gravy were savory and worth the chance I took on them.

The service is amazing, the food is good, but the real gem of the diner is clearly the owner Sugg. She makes her rounds and chats with everyone. She is funny, so very hospitable, and you can feel her pride in what she does. Sugg told me about how she opened in 1975, the numerous celebrity visits she has had, and how she makes her dishes in house instead of buying most of them. There's a thing that she does as well, I almost don't want to spoil it, but she's pretty proud of it. If you're new, and somehow she can tell, she asks where you're from and will then announce to the restaurant that you're new (in a fun way) and where you're from. It's a pretty good time.

If you have to have a down side, you will smell like their diner for the rest of the day and your clothes may need two washes to get it out. Other than that, I'm definitely going again when I am in the area.

I hadn't been to Hickie's in 20 years! I was so happy to taste nothing had changed!
The burgers were tender, juicy, fresh. Fries and gravy that can only be had on this side of Ohio. Cincinnati style poutine just doesn't cut it. My first time trying fries and gravy was my first year of college from Hickies.
Not many can rave about bean soup but at Hickie's, you can. Homemade, yum!
Always busy, we did have to wait quite a bit for our food, and our server wasn't incredibly attentive. However, this crew worked together wonderfully. I was so impressed by this. So many girls, busy, in a small area, all trying to work can get hectic. They were all helping each other out. Several servers came to refill our drinks, deliver our food, offer a smile.
Prices cannot be beat. So many came for carry out while dining in. There is a reason this is such a staple in the area!

Seating and our order taken in no time flat! Soup on our table within a couple minutes. Waitress was very friendly and pleasant!

Out slider style burgers were delivered within a few minutes and were excellent! I opted for two double cheeseburgers and the wife for a single hamburger.

We would definitely stop here again if in the area!

close on posted open hour's Waste of my time they will not be getting my business anymore

Fantastic little sliders, wonderful ambience, friendly staff would love to return next time we're in that area

Down home atmosphere with a friendly staff and colorful proprietor who will sit down in your booth and chat with you!

The food is simple and straightforward but delicious!

Nom nom nom!!! We were camping in the area and wanted a burger. We stopped in and the service was excellent and the food even better. It is carry out only right now but don't let that deter you.

Their burgers are amazing! The meat and ingredients are all very fresh tasting. Their fries are really good as well and I highly recommend getting the gravy fries. I was thinking "gravy on fries?" ... now I'm like "must have gravy and fries!!!".

Prices are very reasonable and there's easy parking. This is going to be our new go-to burger spot when in the area.

There's a reason Hickie's has been around for 46 years...it's an institution.

We had stopped in Wednesday as my grandma used to take me here as a kid and it's easily been 30+ years since I've been in.

I got 2 doubles just ketchup & fries. My wife had 2 singles just ketchup but ended up with 2 singles with mustard, onion, & pickle (not a huge deal as they were slammed she just removed the pickle & onion and dug in).

With the inside being closed we didn't get to hear Sugg yell we have a virgin.

This is exactly how I remember it, greasy sliders that taste like a burger should.

Hickies Hamburgers has been around for many years. After listening to so many folks say how great they were I tried them out for the first time.

My Dad and I went inside to order takeout. There's a countertop with bar stools as well as tables. It is set up like an old-time diner with an open kitchen. Not much remodeling since they opened however when you taste the food you don't care lol!

We waited about 10 minutes for our order of six cheeseburgers (mini burgers) and a small order of onion rings and fries. The cheeseburger had just the right amount of grease for perfection! They come with onions, pickles and mustard. The fries and onion rings were also good but the fries were my favorite.

It was busy but we were waited on within a few minutes of arriving. The place has a hometown feel and the staff were friendly and helpful!
