    Breakfast at the Lyndon diner.
    Brian B.

    Very friendly and consistent dinner day in and day out. The diner is always clean and inviting and most days seating is pretty quick. They have a pretty wide variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a daily specials menu. Very solid comfort food but I do have to mention that the steak and eggs is a really good dish. They cook the steaks to order and hit it every single time. Hard to go wrong here.

    Great service. The girls here are amazing and great to talk with. We have been here plenty of times and always walk away with a smile. I can't give the staff here more praises. They are amazing and hardworking. The food is always fast, fresh and hot. They have plenty of options between breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have daily lunch and dinner specials. You can get breakfast all day long. There soups are homemade. I highly recommend trying their tomato basque or get some to go. If you don't like something your food choice comes with They are happy to substitute or take off. Stop in and try this wonderful diner for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

    WQ omelet with sourdough toast

    Orange. Yolks. Lancaster County Farm Fresh Eggs according to the menu. I don't know what the hens are eating in Lancaster County but it seems to result in eggs with some of the most beautiful deep orange yolks I've ever seen in my life. Think: clementine, blazing sunset, carrot, Home Depot. You get the point. Whatever these hens are doing, whether happily minding their own business or being one peck away from an aptly-colored prison jumpsuit, their eggs are noteworthy. I found myself envying the orange goo dripping from the Benedict and made a mental note to order poached eggs the next chance I get, for a close-up, front row seat inspection of the incredible beginning of what would otherwise become another chicken. Anyway, my WQ omelet was large and in charge. Super tasty with a bit of heat from the sausage or pepper jack and totally delicious. The sourdough is remarkable as well. Perfectly toasted and the whipped butter is rich and satisfying. I tried the hollandaise sauce and, back to the eggs, wow. A delicious blend of egg yolks, butter, and a hint of citrus. Once again I'm thinking about the Eggs Benedict and it wasn't even my meal. I did put some of that hollandaise sauce on my sourdough toast and... Yumm. Yumm. Yummmmm... I have to say, the hens are the stars of this show. Or perhaps the farmers feeding them because... that orange. In a good way... orange. The next time you see orange, don't think bad orange, think Lancaster County Farm Fresh egg good orange. Rock on Lyndon Diner, proudly serving up Lancaster County Farm Fresh eggs with their fabulous orange yolks.

    Crab cake sandwich
    Billy T.

    Came on a weekday evening so it wasn't too busy. Big diner vibes obviously and a massive menu to complete. Went with the crab cake sandwich, which was just alright. I'd say it wasn't worth the cost, but service was great the whole evening for my big group.

    My son had never been to a "diner"before so we had to go to the Lyndon diner while we were in town. There are so many things to choose from. I did not know what to get. I asked our waitress which she recommends and she said anything pot roast and I took her up on it and got the pot roast French dip sandwich it was out of this world. I am not a huge pot roast fan but since she said, I had to try something with the pot roast I did and I am so glad I listened to her

    I've been here twice and had a good time both times. My second visit was December 2024 but both times with a larger party of 7. My Uncle loves this place and they're def growing on me too. I believe our server was Sierra and she was super sweet, very attentive. The crab meat melt I got was so yummy!! To this day I'm still thinking about it *drools*. I got the fries and onion rings too, and everything was so delicious. I believe the crab melt was $18.99 so not pricey at all for real crab meat! It was a good helping of it to too, they are great for giving large portions you can eat over two days. It's a very cute vibe with delicious looking desserts near the front, all kinds of cakes and cheesecakes. Overall, you can't go wrong in coming here, I highly recommend.

    Bring your big appetite because you are going to need it! This classic diner hits all the marks. As you walk in you are hit with a wonderful case of desserts. Truly our only regret was saving room for some. With a full bar behind it they also serve Cocktails and Beer so you can have your breakfast and a Bloody Mary. Lots of room for groups of all sizes as this place was bustling mid day New Year's Eve. The staff were very attentive and got us seated quickly. One guest ordered the chili dog because he didn't want something too big and to his surprise he received the biggest chili dog served in what looks like a homemade roll that I have seen in a very long time. I ordered the Irish Breakfast which was also a very good portion. The home fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The salads are well done and good sized as well. We certainly didn't make it to the dessert but we certainly would recommend them as they looked amazing.

    Lyndon Diner Stopped by for dinner, no wait in line and seated immediately. Our server, Jay, is a really nice lady. Our dinner order was: Soup of the day: shrimp bisque, it's full with cream and shrimp but the cream doesn't taste like shrimp. Cobb Salad, a generous salad plate with fruits and veggies and ham or cold meat as protein. Lyndon Benedict, the egg are perfectly cooked but the downside is the English muffin and the hash browns potato are not cooked well and very oily. Chicken fingers kid's menu. What we received was a plate of big chunks fried boneless chicken, that's confusing. Overall all food are good, but it's not what we thought it would be, as we read on reviews. 1353 Kenneth Rd, York, PA 17404 daily 5.30 AM - 10 PM, Fri Sat 5.30 AM - 11PM starts from $10 restrooms inside the restaurant, accessible for both strollers and wheelchairs. accessible for strollers and wheelchairs free parking lot around the building. ℹ lyndondiner.net #lyndondinerpa #yorkpa #preservefootprints

We paid to park right next to the restaurant - approx $8 for 2 hours. We had reservations and would suggest same for anyone having dinner. Wait staff was great. Was knowledgeable about the menu. Could talk about the dishes giving information based on her actually tasting the dishes - which we appreciate. They were attentive but not annoying. Didn't get a pic of our appetizer - deep fried brie- two wedges served with apricot jelly, pistachio dust and dressed leaves. It was so delicious. Crispy outside with melty cheesy goodness inside. Paired with the jelly and leaves it was absolutely delicious. Perfect appetizer. Our drink were great. The amethyst daiquiri was definitely rum forward but the flavors of the butterfly pea flower syrup, lemongrass infused pisco and lemon juice created this wonderfully crisp drink. The lavender dream was equally refreshing. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of lavender but the combination of faber vanilla vodka, lavender simple, lemon juice, and ginger beer created a refreshing well balanced cocktail. Our mains were delicious. My NY strip was a medium rare. It was so delicious. The steak did have gristled ends on one entire side which wasn't appetizing but otherwise was a good cut. The shrimp were wonderful. Just a subtle pinch of red pepper to add heat but it did not overpower the sweetness of the shrimp. The cafe de paris butter was rich and flavorful. Combine with the arugula salad it was divine. The jalapeño mopping bread was a dense cornbread like addition but honestly it was out of place in the flavor profile of the rest of the meal - a rustic, crusty bread would have been better in my opinion. Bestie had the Seared Duck Breast with a black pudding croquette, charred bok choy, and blackberry chambord reduction. Was her first time having duck. She absolutely enjoyed it. The black pudding croquette was delicious and rich. She really enjoyed the dish and the flavor combinations. The strawberry pavlova was huge. The meringue was deliciously delicate and paired beautifully with the strawberries and fresh whipped cream. Bestie also had a caramel affogato. She said it was very deliciously. She actually dipped some of the meringue into it and said it was very tasty. Lol. They do have a bar area with seating . There is an outdoor seating area as well. We opted for inside knowing how busy N. George St. is around rush-hour with the street noise. But it was a lovely night out and there were many couples outside. The lighting in the restaurant was perfect wasn't too dim, but wasn't harsh and bright. Service was timed perfectly. Overall, it was a really nice experience. Price point was what I would expect for the quality. Great place for a date or a special occasion or just to treat yourself.

You see, back in 17th century England, private houses would open their homes to the public and sell food and beer. Hence, public house. Over time, they dropped the "lic house" and just called them pubs. Because you never dropped the "lic house" makes me think that you haven't evolved like you should have. And frankly, your food is proof. In fact, it even made me nostalgic. But not in the way you might think. You see, I loved making fun food concoctions when I was a kid. My sister and I would watch this corny show called "Zoom" on Maryland public television, where the kid hosts would make recipes sent in from all over the country. We'd make homemade peanut butter cups using Jif and semisweet chocolate chips. Or weird sandwich combinations like pickles and potato chips and cheese and jelly. The seafood egg rolls weren't the worst part of my meal, but they were definitely sophomoric--as if a kid chef-in-training was asked to whip something up from Chinese food leftovers. Seafood should never taste fishy, yet these did. One bite hit me like something that had been sitting a little too long above the waterline. Not to mention, they were laying on a greasy glob of some mayonnaise accompaniment disguised as a fancy garnish you'd see on MasterChef. One word: Ick. The ahi tacos. Oh boy. My mind fills with seawater the moment I think of them because they tasted as if they had been fished right out of the ocean and then placed on my plate. They were wet. Soaked. Drenched. The gelatinous seaweed clump on each taco wasn't culinary-forward, just unappetizing. I took one bite and wished I could spit it back out, but I reluctantly swallowed it. My esophagus is now aquaphobic thanks to you. The moment the coconut jasmine rice hit my mouth, my tastebuds took the red eye to the coconut tree haven of the Maldives. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the rice and coconut had no cohesion. It tasted like my younger self dumping a handful of shredded coconut--the sweetened kind my mom kept in the pantry for the wool on her Easter-shaped lamb cake--into a cup of microwaveable rice. The only redeeming aspect of our meal was your kind, charismatic waiter. He was lovely in every way--attentive, sweet, and helpful. He would have been an incredible host on "Zoom." If only his personality made the food taste better. For your sake, I hope you learn to evolve your kitchen's offerings beyond the amateurish trio I experienced. If not, your restaurant's bones may end up fossilized alongside every other place that couldn't adapt.

The restaurant was fairly busy for a Monday at 1:15PM, so to my surprise my order came out pretty quickly. My order was bagged and tied together, so I cloud not check my order without ripping the entire plastic bag. There were two standard to-go containers inside the bag, NOT the standard long full-length container a full rack is served in when placing a to-go order. I order the full rack of ribs to-go all the time at Cheddars, and they are served in the long full-rack box. When I got home and to my surprise I was given two separate rib halves. Neither were the same size, (both were upper ends), not an entire complete rack of ribs. Looking at the ribs, each upper end was different in size, and each had a different appearance and texture. I tasted each half-rack, and yes hey came from different racks as each had a different taste, dried-out texture, and not even luke-warm to the touch. These ribs were not freshly made that day. I'm positive these rib halves were old ribs, at least a day or more old, and somewhat reheated, barely. I live 2-miles from Cheddar's, I's a straight shot, 5-minute drive at best. The food should not be cold driving that distance. I used to go to Cheddar's all the time, but quit going there about six-plus months ago because the food quality was going downhill, but decided to give it another try, I WAS WRONG...

We went for lunch and it was not very busy so that was nice. We asked if we could eat outside and we were able to nab a seat there. We were seated a high table which was cool because we had a clear view of the street but was able to maintain staying in our little food bubble. When it came to order, we ended up ordering the Loaded Nachos for an appetizer and I ordered the Chicken Chesapeake with a baked potato and onion rings. I did order a drink but for the life of me, I can't remember which one. Please blame my foodie mind! (Haha!) The Loaded Nachos were good filled with white cheddar cheese sauce, tomato, jalapeno, black beans salsa, sour cream and chicken. It was good and the chicken was nicely seasoned and succulent. It was not chewy which is sometimes how chicken or any meat can be especially, when added to an appetizer like nachos. Unfortunately, I think that my biggest disappointment of this lunch was the Chicken Chesapeake. It came with a chicken breast, a 5 oz jumbo lump crab cake and mornay sauce. The chicken breast was just okay, it tasted bland as I think that maybe a little bit of salt and pepper could have helped. The jumbo lump crab cake was....okay, it was topped with the mornay sauce that was very tasty but the crab cake itself just fell apart. I didn't feel as though there was any structure to it and that with the amount of sauce on the crab cake and then the crab cake being too tender that it just falls apart...it wasn't a good mix. It felt like the crab cake was swimming in the sauce at the end, unfortunately. The mornay sauce tasted great with the mixture of cheeses so I really appreciated that. Besides the mornay sauce, the onion rings were another big favorite of mine. They were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I really liked the batter on the onion rings as I think it was executed perfectly and they helped to save the rest of the dish. Altogether, I'd enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. While one dish was lacking, the appetizer and my drink weren't. The prices were alright, a little steep but nothing I couldn't handle. The customer service was also really good as our waiter was kind and helped us with whatever we needed. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come back again to try other things off the menu.
