came in around 2pm, with more wait staff than customers. I lost track with how long it took someone to take our order, waited over 20 minutes for my cold and incorrect food. Tables that came after us were being served, very frustrating. The entire meal we had to listen to an irritated employee complain about other employees, and pretty much anything else she could whine about. It was not a pleasant dining experience. As I tried to exit the restaurant, a different waitress who was taking an order was standing in the middle of the isle and refused to move an inch to let me pass her down the narrow walkway towards the exit, even after I said excuse me! As delicious as the food was, I will never be back. I would be embarrassed if I was the manager of this establishment and definitely need to refresh the staff regarding respecting the customers. read more

Food still excellent, but prices are out of control. First visit in a couple of years. Omelet is two bucks more than before, which is about a 33% increase. And they suddenly upcharge for Rye or Sourdough toast. I get it. But white or wheat toast comes with the omelet, and for rye, they upcharge $2.49! For two pieces of bread and butter! Getting Rye instead of White costs $2.49! Never again, not ever. I understand that restaurants must make money to survive, but I am not freaking paying $2.49 for the privilege of getting Rye instead of Wheat. A loaf of rye is like five bucks. Gimme a freaking break. read more

The food is amazing, great prices, service is always top tier and i LOVE the fact its in an old train car by the train tracks. I come to Gettysburg 2-3 times a year & this is always a must stop for me. read more

Cute little diner in the City with a big enough menu that should please everyone. There is seating in the front and then there is a dining room, as well as counter stools. We came for breakfast for my husband and lunch for me. Service was quick and also the food came out in a timely manner. I had the Lincoln Special, which was an Italian sandwich with fries. I am guessing it was ground up sausage, cooked with onions and some cheese. The bread was very fresh and overall it was just ok. The fries were piping hot. Ketchup container was empty as was the one at the next table when I tried to swap it. They gave me a new bottle which made me happy they weren't refilling and reusing them. There were definitely locals dining, so not a tourist trap. Prices were similar to other restaurants of this type. read more

Great little diner in the heart of Gettysburg. Food was prepared fresh and plentiful. They also featured a large variety of homemade desserts. We had a late lunch of perfect diner food- grilled cheese and burgers. Definitely worth it! read more

Wonderful breakfast, wonderful service. My husband & I ate breakfast here a couple times during our visit to Gettysburg & our server remembered us from our previous visit. The coffee is delicious... we ordered baklava to go, I took one bite & threw it in the garbage.... Absolutely no flavor! I don't recommend! But the breakfasts were amazing & I will return . read more

With staffing and supply challenges of the restaurant industry in mind as well as the limited sit-down breakfast options in Gettysburg, we decided to check out the Lincoln Diner as a sit-down service option. A couple takeaways: -expect the canned, frozen, prepackaged, and institutional (especially the coffee). -the service staff does not appear to want to be there, and this is apparent in their interaction with the guests. -expect excruciatingly slow service with employee dissatisfaction and lack of concern spilling over to poor guest service. We decided to sit at the counter, and after 25 minutes or so we received service, ultimately receiving our food nearly an hour after sitting down. Deciding to err on the side of caution, we ordered breakfast sandwiches which included what I believe was a powdered, boxed egg product (I had asked for a fried over-easy egg on the sandwiches anticipating this, which was disregarded) on a limp, untoasted English Muffin. We ultimately cut our losses and went to Gettysburg Baking for coffee and better fare. I highly recommend folks to skip this place. read more

This is a breakfast review. Really good portions for the price. My dad got the ham steak and they are not messing around! We all ended up sharing it because it was so much. The bacon was crisp and the eggs were done perfectly. It's extremely casual; seat yourself and pay at the front. Coffee is standard. Four people came to just shy of forty dollars. We had the aforementioned ham steak (with eggs, toast and hash browns), French toast (with eggs and bacon), one egg (with bacon, hash browns and toast), and two eggs (with bacon, hash browns and toast), water, two orange juices, and one coffee. Good price. A bit touristy, but isn't everything in Gettysburg? Very casual, which is nice when it's early. read more

The food was typical diner food. Prices are reasonable. What stood out in a negative way was the lack of service. Our server was not happy to be working and we had to ask multiple times for certain items. We had a toddler with us who didn't get their food until almost everyone else was done. I try to have plenty of patience for the service industry, especially post-COVID, but this was a bet sub-par experience. read more

Ah Lincoln Diner, one of our old haunts in high school because they were open 24 hours. While they have scaled back hours during the pandemic, the menu and service is pretty much the same after 25 years. You can expect alright coffee, eggs cooked to your liking, a decent turkey club, you know, the staples of the American Diner. The assortment of cheesecake is always tempting. If ever passing through or visiting Gettysburg this spot is a must. read more

French toast was tasteless. Very disappointed. Eggs were ok. first cup of coffee lukewarm.

Great food and Sam was an amazing server super sweet!!! Food was great and service was fast

This diner has good food , lots of choices. They have good service that's efficient and friendly.

Clean little building, but food is bad. Gravy is tasteless, and mashed potatoes came out cold. Waitress was a b*tch and fries were soggy. Only good thing was fried pickles, and even those weren't throughly cooked. Would not recommend read more

Omg. I can't even. Rude service, disgusting food, nasty place. We legit saw the waitress take a bite of food off the tray of food coming out before serving it. The Monte Christo I couldn't identify what it was. It was just a gross nasty place. Walking out my friend had a hair in her mouth and had to wonder if it was her own or someone else's. read more

Retro dinner near train tracks with friendly staff who greet you at the door, " come on in, sit anywhere you like! There's more seating out back!" I met my friend and her daughter here for dinner. My friend ordered the Greek platter, her daughter a cheeseburger with fries and I ordered a double cheeseburger deluxe. We all were happy with our orders. My friend said her platter was one of the best she's had. Not sure if her daughter liked hers as she only took a few bites of her cheeseburger. Maybe because they accidentally put the order in as a bacon, but she took it off and placed it in her moms plate. My order came in as two cheeseburgers instead of a double cheeseburger. Unfortunately that second bun went to waste. We definitely loved the hot crispy fries!!! The place does need some sprucing up. Prices were really reasonable. If you're looking for a quick low cost bite I highly recommended this place! read more

We made a detour to Gettysburg on our road trip to check out the Lincoln Diner. We found the casual homey, historic, diner atmosphere that we were seeking. The coffee was good and the huge spinach pie was delicious with a flaky phyllo top, although the bottom was a bit soggy. The Greek salad had a good balance of lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese with tangy dressing. Breakfast, which was served all day, was typical diner fare. The server was friendly and checked often to refill coffee and water. We will surely return the next time we visit Gettysburg. read more

Stopped for breakfast in this classic diner. Welcomed and invited to sit where I wanted. Great food served quickly. I had eggs, bacon , home fries and toast, and my wife had French toast. Extra pluses: diner appeared very clean, an assortment of jams and jellies was left on the table, rather than rationed like other places. Prices were actually slightly less than I expected. Lastly, I would give a sixth star if possible for our waitress Beth. I would definitely come here again. read more

It doesn't hurt to revisit a place. Such is the case here. The last time I was in the area I came here rather late at night and what seemed like a bit of an off time. This time around I visited on numerous occasions and at different times during the day. I also sampled many different things and had many different experiences that ran the gambit. So let's just dive right in. On our first visit we hit a bit of a bump. We showed up late one night after being out all day discovering the area around and then enjoying ourselves in town for the evening. Once we were seated we were given menus and drinks orders taken. After looking over the menu and waiting for our drinks we both decided on what we were having. Once our server returned with our drinks we both decided on the Hot Meatloaf Sandwich. Our order goes back to the kitchen and we just have nothing else to do but wait. Here's where the bump comes in. Our server returns almost promptly after she goes to the kitchen. She goes on to tell us that they can't do the meatloaf because they don't have it. I had said something to the effect like, "Oh, I had asked for the Meatloaf Sandwich." She turns around and goes back into the kitchen and comes back out, "Yeah, we can do that." So what was it, you have meatloaf or you don't? We were told that they don't do the meatloaf dinner at this hour of the evening. I hadn't asked for that as I did not see it on the late night menu and I clearly stated I wanted the Hot Meatloaf Sandwich. Whatever, if that's the only hiccup we are to encounter, I was fine with that. Honestly, the cook shouldn't have jumped the gun, if he knows the menu, he should have known we wanted the sandwich. I'm getting away from the point here. The meatloaf sandwich was satisfying. Served open faced, covered in gravy, with a side of fries also gravy covered if you life. With a full belly we both left. On another visit, also late at night, we had kind of a redeeming experience. We showed up after taking a trip outside of town and wanted a bite to eat before heading to bed. This time around we had ordered what we thought was an appetizer of chicken stripes, turns out it was actually a meal, we had no idea but weren't upset by this. My better half stuck with the meatloaf again, but I decided to try the Hot Turkey Sandwich this time. It must have been a different cook this time around as the sandwiches were not open face, but they were definitely covered in that amazing gravy. Of course when we finished we felt stuffed. Funny thing here when we went to pay the bills got mixed up. Some lady ended up paying for our meal that night, so thank you lady for that, and we ended up paying for her bill. The server was amazing that night, funny, on top of things and very accommodating. Totally made up for the night before. Tip for you all, if you show up late at night use their rather small parking lot. If you do not do this, you will be ticketed. Nice little souvenir to leave Gettysburg with. Also, avoid the bathrooms if you can, not in the best shape late at night. read more

With a name like this in Gettysburg and the old diner styling you know it has to be good. And it was and inexpensive. But then again it's hard to mess up breakfast. Eggs, sausage, toast and home fries were all good as was the coffee. Place is larger than it appears from the outside so we got seats quickly. All good. read more

We will definitely be back. It checks off all the boxes of what you'd expect at a "diner." Nothing fancy but does it well enough for us!

Friendly bunch of locals in Lincoln on a weekday morning. It's clear that during the off season, this is the hangout. I had no trouble finding a table and seating myself. A moment later, the waitress came over, took my order and returned with coffee. My mushroom and Swiss omelet arriving not long after. A hardy portion of eggs and Home fried potatoes that was very nicely done. More than enough food here for all morning. And with tip, $10. A bargain. read more

It's Sunday morning and we're a group of 8 looking for breakfast! We stopped in here as the options were limited and this fit the bill. It's seat yourself and we find a table for 8 and plant ourselves. The waitress comes with menus and take drink orders. Mugs are provided to everyone even those of us who didn't order coffee. The mugs are poured, but there is no utensils and my friend struggled to drink without a proper stir. She anxiously looks around and finally settles on asking another wait staff. Finally, we see the utensils arrive. Food takes a bit, but comes. I ordered the French toast with two eggs over hard. The eggs are fine as is, nothing special. I was really debating on the Western omlet for more savory, plus hashed potatoes sounded good. The in-house made bread won me over for the French toast, but failed to live up to the hype. It tasted like pancake batter on both sides, which gave it sweetness in itself. I didn't need syrup. Ehh. Most everyone in our group ordered an omlet of sorts. Many had potatoes on their plates. It looked a bit undercooked, so I could understand why it remained on plates. It works. It's fine. read more

My mum and I went to Gettysburg on my 21st birthday. Got some delicious haddock, macaroni salad, and mashed spuds with scrumptious chicken gravy. I got hooked up with some AMAZING fudgey brownie cheesecake as well! It's a beautiful and classic diner atmosphere, and don't let the bathroom door fool you. They seem to keep it very clean! 10/10 - Added to Favorites on the Maps app. - Will come again next time I go to Gettysburg!! read more

Who doesn't love a good diner? This was a great find while on the road. It's not terrible far from the highway in the heart of Gettysburg. I was told I had been there before but was too young to remember. It's a great little diner, homemade fresh food and reasonable prices for being in a "tourist" town. Old style counters, booths and large desert town in the corner. There is plenty of room for seating in the multiple sections. I had the Bacon Cheese Burger and was really satisfied with my choice. Cooked right and served with a healthy portion of French Fries. The patty was not the frozen kind, you could tell it was fresh and hand made. The fries were golden brown and crispy. After several hours in the car it was a welcome stop for some good food. ***WARNING*** If you are traveling with elderly or people who need assistance this may not be the spot for you unfortunately. The rest rooms are located in the basement which is a narrow 3 small flights down around corners. Had to give it only a 3 for that factor alone. read more

Visited twice in October'23. Good food. Good service. Excellent prices. We will return when in the area.

This place doesn't even deserve a one star but in order for me to review it I had to. My parents talked highly about this place and were excited to take my son and I . We sat down for the waitress to throw water that we didn't ask for down on the table and our menus. We waited for 10/15 minutes during that time our waitress was cursing we thought she was coming to finally take our orders but she was grabbing her tip from another table beside us. As we got up to leave she ran from the table to the front yelling I didn't do nothing as we were leaving. If that doesn't tell the owner/manager something then they need to open their eyes. read more

Had breakfast there awhile ago and I remember as a pretty decent breakfast. If you're wondering if you should try it, please do.

Very good portions, we both felt very full after leaving and not pricy either! If i lived here it would be a weekly spot for me! The waitress was very kind and the food came out quick! The design of the inside of the diner was very cozy and inviting. Next time I am in Gettysburg I will definitely be back! I am vegan and I got a double order of hash browns, dry white toast that i added jam to, a fruit cup, and black coffee! These are some of the best hash browns i've had! read more
