The only thing better than the food at The Echo is the team of people who make it all happen. Highly recommended.

The service was really good. I was really happy that they had honey for hot tea. Zucchini was in little chunks. It was different and fun. If you have never had a Reuben from Izzie's you would be happy. If you don't like a lot of meat on your Reuben sandwich you are good. If you want a real Reuben go to Izzie's. The other food that I saw come out looked very good.

This is a classic diner breakfast, but better. Simple is key, and the vibe of the place is really comforting.

If you are a diner person, this WWII-era establishment is a great breakfast spot. The hot chocolate is out of this world, and the usual diner standbys are all on the menu.This is a Hyde Park institution, with regular customers. This morning when I was there, the waitress got a gift from a regular customer— an outfit for the baby the server is expecting. It’s that kind of neighborhood place, which warms my heart.

Classic old-school diner with all the usual eats. The hotcakes are thick, fluffy, and BIG. Drip coffee that's a step above your typical diner. Try the rye bread and know that you can make breakfast here a boozy one. Helpful to know: it's a seat yourself setup and this place normally has a line out the door.

The best old school diner in Cincinnati! Amazing breakfast. Grab a seat at the counter or a table. Goetta Eggs Benedict is just amazing! But whatever you do, get here before 10AM or you'll be waiting in line against the windows for quite a while! Parking across the street is fine when the bank and realtor is closed.

We had breakfast here with our clients, and the food needs a lot of help. Omelette had no flavor, we needed a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste fine. Goetta was so hard and cold -- we were told that they prep their goetta first thing in the morning. So if you come in here past 8am (which we did) don't botther getting goetta, it will be old and hard. They replaced it with a barely cooked one (first it was burnt to a crisp / rock hard and the second one was barely browned) that my client didn't even try to eat. Another person had a burger and mentioned it was old. For the price they should serve fresh food -- fries were also barely warm. Debbie was our server who was lovely and didn't know what to do when she served the barely cooked goetta to our table. I think the place is loved for its novelty but not for the food, shame since it is so near Hyde PArk Square.

The food was fantastic. Luckily, we got their early because when we left, the line was outside the door. The service was very good. Everyone who came to our table was polite and wanted to make sure we were taken care of. I will be back next time I am in Cincinnati. I highly recommend you try this place out.
