Service was good. Food was so so. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was really rubbery and the fries were half soggy. I wasn't that impressed with my meal. My husband had bbq wings with bone in and he said they were good. I didn't get to try them as the rubbery chicken turned my stomach. I would like to try this restaurant again and order something different maybe breakfast. read more

I wish I had enough energy to write how much this place killed my tastebuds tonight but at this point I'm too tired to care. Here is an accurate review of my food. 1 star... because there isn't an option for zero. read more

Food is good but don't come here during Covid. Waitresses wear masks on their chins or not at all. People walk in without masks. No enforcement at all. Eat at your own risk and bring sanitizer!!!!! read more

Food was great, service on point. Only downfall was having to sit and watch staff hang out at counter - some on break and others not - and have to listen to personal conversations that were not entirely appropriate for customers to be subject to. Also observed staff eating, outing dishes in dish bin, and returning to work without washing hands. It's a shame their conduct tainted my otherwise pleasant experience. read more

The food was good, the service was better than average. I didn't have to ask for a drink it just showed up when mine was empty. I had the banana foster pancakes and everyone had some, it was very tasty and huge portions! Worth trying. read more

My family are here July 9th for dinner. The food was very good. The portion sizes are huge. We did not wait long for a table and our server was very nice. Here is the rundown of what we ordered: Me - Chicken Fried Steak. It came with two eggs, hash browns, and toast. My meal was very good. My minor complaint is, the steak was just a tad bit salty. It was still a good meal. My wife- Pancake Deluxe. It came with three huge pancakes, sausage links, slice of ham, and bacon. She said the pancakes were really good and so were the breakfast meats that came along with it. Oldest Daughter - Boneless mild wings and fries. At first she only ordered six, after she tasted the first couple, she put in another order of six. Obviously, she thought the wings were good. She did mention that the wings were not exactly mild. Middle Daughter - Spaghetti and meatballs. The portion size was huge again. It came with a nice side salad and piece of garlic bread. She ate as much as she could, but was too full to try the garlic bread. She gave her meal two thumbs up. Youngest Daughter - One Chocolate chip pancake with a side of bacon. The pancake was gigantic, filled with chocolate chips, and topped with whip cream. She was able to eat half the pancake and a piece of bacon. She loved that bacon. We would return to this place if we are ever in the area again. Everybody enjoyed their food and they have wide selection on the menu. read more

I got a take out delivered from DoorDash and it was more than 24 hours since I'd eaten, but choosing to get delivery from Lyndon Diner was the best decision I made all day. I got the Creamed Chipped Beef over Hash Browns with Onions and Rye Toast, with an added order of Sausage. These were the best sausages, they're the good ones, folks. I think they are Hatfield, but I'm not sure. The creamed chipped beef was creamy and not too salty with the hash browns and onions that were over the top delicious. The rye toast was just what I was hankering for, this morning. I'll definitely be ordering from Lyndon Diner again! read more

Went for breakfast, got there about 7 am, had seen breakfast specials on my phone, so I had them up when the waitress came, she was very abrupt in that those specials were only for the weekdays, took our drink order and then left. When she came back, she seemed a little nicer and "explained" more about the specials, I told her i just found them on the phone, and it was no big deal, we would just order regular. (The difference was about a dollar)...I had 2 eggs, over medium (cooked right), hash browns, ham and toast, my friend had a ham and cheese omelette and it cam with hash browns and toast. The food was hot, there was quite a bit, and it tasted good. I feel the waitress, who never gave us her name being abrupt in the beginning set a tone. She tried to make amends, but alas it was a little late. We would eat here again if we're ever in town again, and even though I didn't get her name, I would remember her. read more

This place is great. Cheap eats and a lot of food. They are quick and servers are friendly and knowledgeable. So many desserts to choose from. Never been disappointed! read more

This place used to be our go-to. Lyndon used to be the best diner in town but I don't know what happened over the past couple of years but things have really gone down hill. I talked to this place up to my boyfriend who just moved here from Baltimore and the first experience was terrible. Alright, everyone has off nights, so we understood. We decided to go back a second time a third, and even a fourth. Still consistently BAD. Like I said, I have no idea why it's gotten sucky because everything used to be on POINT! The food used to come out hot and fast, now it takes a fortnight to get it and its incredibly subpar. The staff used to be accommodating and friendly, now they can't seem to want to give you the time of day. They honestly need a change of ownership because this is not the Lyndon I used to know and love. read more

Was there for breakfast this morning, had an omelette with hash brown potatoes, the potatoes were mushy, the omelette was ok. What upset me the most was the staff, never ask if I would like to have another cup of coffee. I had to get her attention to get my cup refilled. Paid my bill at reg, staff was not very friendly, just doing her job and that was it. Will not return! read more

service is AWFUL.....dont go there to get a drink refilled, or to get your food fast......service is the worst! I give them 1- on service, at least we got some. almost better than serving yourself. chef salad was good lots of meat. tuna platter was just that...one can of tuna dumped in the middle of the plate with veggies around...no mayo, no mustard, just dry tuna.... add some cole slaw for some moisture..... We were so hungry and didnt know it would take 35 minutes for our salads to come out...not lunch hour about 1:30pm....... Have lots of time and bring your own mayo for the tuna platter. read more

Probably one of the better restaurants in town,the breakfast is always very good and service is one of the fastest I've seen in a while.Better get there before the lunch and dinner hours as the place gets reallly crowded.The lunch and dinners are very good and the soups are great,definitely deserves the stars!!!!this place has changed cooks or something because it went downhill, you been warned read more

If going for brunch be prepared to wait. We went on a Sunday for brunch and it was extremely busy. We waited for about 20-25 minutes, I expected to wait longer given how many people were waiting, but they get the food out incredibly fast so the wait wasn't as bad as we expected. The food was very good and as I already said, it comes out lightening fast after ordering. Everything we saw others eating looked delicious too. Waitress was very nice. Overall a very good experience. read more

Disgusting. I ordered the fried chicken basket. What I got was flavorless chicken strips breaded with something that smelled like dirty feet. The only thing edible was my tiny container (about 3 bites) of cole slaw. I sat with an empty drink glass for at least 20 minutes before the waitress bothered to come check. This used to be the go to diner in Lancaster. I will not be back. read more

This place is to diners what Port-a-Potty's are to Operating Rooms. Or try this, as far as the east is from the west. Seriously, once you get past the facade, you see, there are no diner traits except the table and chairs. Limited menu for a diner. Rather rigid in how they run it. And, does anybody care that you're there. We never found that to be the case. Fast food, yes. Out of a Box, yes, tasty, right in line with any other fast food joint you'd go too. Good reasons to go, uh...say if, EVERY other restaurant on the face of the earth was destroyed somehow. read more

Lyndon egg beni special was good, and they did cook my hash browns extra. As this is 1 of two options my work will pay for. I am the rare endangered patron That has gambled with my life n tried various items. I have learned to only order breakfest. There isnt a happy ending in this story but I can say I'm still on the right side of the grass. But the knock out punch is the service is top notch slow. And a Tad pricey for sysco $h!t. Stay away unless their paying You to eat there. read more

I hate this place. My wife and son like it but I can't stand it. The service is always slow and the always seem to screw something up. I haven't been here when something wasn't brought to the table or made wrong. Portions are big but the hassle just isn't worth it. I don't understand the allure but there is often a line (especially at breakfast). Don't waste your time unless you want to be frustrated. The portions are big so I guess they have that going for them. read more

Fantastic! Went on a Sunday around 11:00AM. Basically, walked in, got a booth and c offee, ordered breakfast, my wife ordered lunch, granddaughter ordered breakfast. Food came pretty quick, good and hot, and tasty. This place is on the top of my favorite eating places. read more

This place is open 24 hours, clean, and had a really good menu. I was really intrigued by the dessert case, but didn't indulge. My breakfast was quite good - eggs were yummy, hashbrowns were too. Good, solid diner food with a lot of options. Definitely a place to come if you are looking for diner food and hungry. I wouldn't say it's the best diner I've ever been to, but it's up there. read more

Horrible horrible horrible !! This is the worst diner that I have stepped into in Lancaster. Not because of the food but because of the services provided. I knew Lancaster was not a diverse county , but this diner bluntly showed how racist they could be. Waiting in line we got skipped multiple times but our Caucasian counterparts were tended to almost immediately. We again went through the same scenario checking out. The individual at the register actually called out to a gentleman who was at the end of the line to check him out, the customer actually took the initiative and said that he saw us waiting in line and proceeded to let us go. I am in awe that this day in age people actually have to go through this. My family and I will NEVER be stepping foot in this place! If I was able to give this zero stars I would!! read more

Lyndon City Line Diner is as popular as ever and still a bit above average, but not nearly as excellent, flavor wise, as it used to be. Service was brusque and inattentive. We received no drink refills of any kind, even coffee. A disappointing visit overall. read more

When I'm in town, this is where I go for breakfast at 1:00am. My boyfriend also loves their huge portions and home made chili.

I had an order that was messed up / wrong. (a to go order) I called back, they were aware of the mistake, someone else had brought my food back. I left my info, and was told to call or come back anytime and they would "gladly" replace the order or refund my money. When the time came, i called to get a food replacement. Nobody knew what I was talking about, no note, basically called me a liar. I eventually spoke with 3 or four different people trying to resolve this issue. Nobody ever called me bac, there was no follow up, nothing. I ended up going back to "The Lyndon City Line Diner on the Manheim Pike, Lancaster, PA. after being very composed and thinking this was going to be resolved, the head cook came out "Mohammed" who had called me a liar on the phone previously, got very rude with me. When I told him his customer relations skills were terrible, he told the other girl to call the police. I left. IF YOU EVER HAVE A BAD DINING EXPERIANCE AT THEIR ESTABLISHMENT, DO NOT EXPECT ANY SATISFACTION... read more

The food isn't the best and it seems that the staff is always miserable. The cooks seem to put little effort into the food. I however usually order food that is hard to mess up such as mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders and French fries. The portions are very nice too. I must say I was a bit disappointed last time I went, as i was not offered to order drinks and the waitress gave me tap water. The tap water was however some mighty fine refreshing tap. It was so good that I in fact asked her to bring me 3 more glasses which she obliged. 3 star for the tasty tap water, mediocre service, and burnt scrapple. read more

Great menu with large variety of food choices & reasonable prices. LOVE the hummus platter!

Had breakfast and always more than enough foo. It's ok for breakfast. Can't speak for lunch or dinner food but based on breakfast I'd say it's ok. And they have a full liquor license. read more

Food is awesome - never had a problem. Breakfast is amazing. Why only 3 stars? Because this place needs to get with the times. If you visit on a Saturday or Sunday morning, not only will you have a huge crowd waiting to be seated, you'll also have 10-15 people waiting to pay AT THE CASH REGISTER. Absolutely absurd. So, to the owner - invest in some technology where patrons can pay at the table (see Red Robin) or give your servers iPhones with some kind of swipe program where people can just pay at the table. It's absolutely insane to have that many people jammed up inside the small lobby. I've seen too many people just walk away because it looked to crowded, when many of those people were just lined up to pay their bill. It turns into a claustrophobic nightmare. read more

We went there Friday and Saturday for breakfast it was excellent! A lot of food for the $$ had a new dish called bagel eyes, a bagel topped with cheddar cheese and poached eggs..... yum. I also had an egg white omelette with bacon and I could not finish it cuz it was too much : ) read more

I've only been here for breakfast, but they don't disappoint. Large portions for $6-$9. Great "go to" breakfast spot. I'm sure their lunch and dinner are good too. read more

came here for the first time last sunday...arrived around 11 am and had about a 10 minute wait. coffee was really good as was the customer service. i had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich that was one of the best i've ever had - large, lots of bacon, good amount of cheese, and the bagel was fresh. also had the hashbrown casserole which was hashbrowns, cheese, and onions - loved it. DH had pancakes, toast, hashbrowns, eggs, and sausage and loved it all. we will more than likely go back here! read more

Have only eaten here for breakfast but the quality, variety & quantity of the food can't be beat. Great service & fairly reasonable prices. You won't be able to walk by the pastry case without wanting to buy one of each. read more

Good variety , like a legit jersey style diner versatility . However last time I went it hit me that the prices / quality ratio is a little off balance so I change this from a 4 to a 3 * read more

We aren't sure how this diner only has 3.5 stars, because our experience was 5 stars. First the aesthetic is great! It's a classic diner, a touch of Irish, and it was very clean! We all had omelettes- myself having the gyro omelette, adding feta. It was GREAT! The coffee had a good flavor too. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. As a group traveling through Lancaster, we are glad we stopped by! read more

Great place for breakfast. I had the Lyndon breakfast wrap and it was very good. Would like to go back and try a different wrap. Go here for a good breakfast. read more

A good diner with friendly staff and a big menu selection. Go early on Sunday or prepare to wait.

Came here for their breakfast special. 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 toast, and home fries for a good price. They also have burgers which are a favorite of mine. Service is friendly and fast. read more

See all

Everything a classic diner should be. You get to page through the novel of menu options, then receive gigantic portions. Usually get breakfast (Irish breakfast usually) here no matter what time of day it is, but their vegetable beef soup is killer. read more

The last 2 times my husband and I ate here - we became violently ill and haven't gone back. My mom ate there yesterday and was throwing up the rest of the day. The restaurant inspections of this place are always terrifying. Don't eat here. read more

The breakfast we had was awesome and the price were very reasonable the service was very good as well especially considering how busy they were. Much better than the higher priced Red Caboose Motel and Restaurant where we stayed the weekend in Strasburg! read more
