I ordered a Bloody Mary, but nobody knew how to make one, so I canceled it. The bathrooms were stinky and full of flies, with a fly trap sitting on the sink. The counter looked like it had been wiped down with a dirty rag. Our omelets came out greasy, my wife's bacon was forgotten, and my utensil roll had no fork. My bacon, avocado, spinach, and tomato omelet had rock-hard avocado slices and undercooked bacon mixed with bacon bits. Potatoes were just okay but came with no condiments. I barely ate a few bites before I was too grossed out to continue. When I told the server, she just said, "I'll let them know," and still handed me the full check -- no apology or discount. We left cash and got out. Will never be back. Avoid at all costs.

We both enjoyed our sandwiches. I thought the French Dip could use a little more meat for the giant hoagie roll it's on though. Their selections of beers, ciders, etc for both take out and on their menu were great. They carry some really unique items I haven't seen around here. They also carry Rotunda Brewery beers, which is one of my favorites from Hershey, PA. Service was pretty good - it took a little bit to get our checks and then wait for her to come back to get our money. There is some parking behind the building, but there is also street parking. From our experience, we would definitely eat here again.

Thank you for that request by the way. Lynderella's Deli does not just serve great hoagies, they got the footlongs. You know when we go hot doggin, we celebrate the hot dog does not rate the hot dog. You all know I celebrate the dog with some great condiments, today's footlong has their chili sauce, mustard, and the onions. The chili was nice and meaty, yep and in this video Mr. Jingles is back with us. Now I did get a hoagie as well but today its all about the chili dog. The onions were diced nice and fine like I like it, None of that chunky onion crap. Guys and gals if your around and want either a great hoagie or footlong, (remember get those condiments), stop in and tell them you saw this video.

Walking in, I was greeted by a warm, welcoming staff that instantly made me feel at home. The place radiated nostalgia, with board games and collectibles that weren't just for show--they were the family's own childhood treasures. I kicked things off with an order of spud cakes, served hot and crispy, with sour cream included (nine per order). The sour cream paired perfectly. The deep-dish pizza arrived piping hot, with a crispy crust, generous cheese, flavorful sauce, and onions--filling and delicious. Their extensive menu offers plenty more to explore. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more. Until next time, be blessed and stay safe.

We found their deli was the closest thing in Pa to an actual deli this side of the Delaware River. The produce featured local corn, melons and many more. We spent an hour inside picking out corn, cantaloup and watermelon plus buying some deli cheese and Breakstone cottage cheese cup 5/$5. Even if you live a distance, this place is worth the trip and should be added to your weekly grocery markets. Their ad appears ion their face book page weekly. The only issue was the chaotic parking lot, pot holes and shopping carts that needed a wheel alignment but nothing to discourage you from coming inside for the fresh, priced right grocery...they have a small wine shop too.
