Great little diner feel in a cool area of Cincinnati. Everything was great. My order was messed up a little but I customized it so no worries. Would certainly return and explore more of the menu.
So good! We got the Steph's sampler, added toast and a biscuit. $30 for two with coffee. We love the echo! Stephanie and the staff are great. Everything is so clean and well run especially for how busy it is. The line was long but went fast.
9/11/25 After a hospital visit, my husband and I stopped at Echo for breakfast. I ordered the eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce and the country boy style. Both tasted good and were prepared well. My husband had Steph’s Sampler and added bananas and chocolate chips as toppings, though we later found out that came with an extra charge. The pancakes themselves were okay, but a little underwhelming. The staff were very friendly and polite, and I appreciated how quickly we were served, and able to get out. The place is very mom and pop feel. Overall, it was a decent breakfast and convenient stop, but nothing that stood out enough for me to want to make a return visit.
This diner hits all the high notes and none of the low marks. Clean, friendly, fast, great food. This was a hit in our travels. Highly recommend the special toasts and the red, white, and blueberries dish. Don't skip this one!
A throwback mid-century diner in Hyde Park Square area. How is it that I have never eaten here before? Arrived at 11:30 for an early lunch to ensure getting a table without a wait. Lucked out and got metered parking right in front. Service was friendly and my sandwich platter hit the spot. The lunch counter is cool and they even have shirts for sale. You know you are a special restaurant when you have your own merch!
