    Bacon cheese burger with waffle fries
    Pamela K.

    Tasty food and incredible service. Overall, I'd give the food a 4, but the service puts my rating at a 5. Large portion diner food in a diner setting -- the food was everything you'd expect, not gourmet but still well made and tasty. Our server, Irma, was an absolute gem! She was super sweet, helpful with menu recommendations and no pressure. We loved her! We also stayed a long time just chatting and the staff did not pressure us AT ALL to leave -- and even kept refilling our coffee! Such a hospitable staff that has a family vibe. Solid spot for a pleasant diner experience!

    With best friend, Pots & Pans, 5/13/25
    Rich B.

    On a recent trip to the Hudson Valley, stopped by for breakfast w best friend, Pots & Pans, AKA Stumbleweed. Full disclosure, I am a huge Yankee fan, having grown up just north of the stadium (and P&P is a closet Yankee fan), so the name helped. Free parking on Main St, and a generous lot in the back. We both opted for spinach and goat cheese omelets (3 eggs), w home fries, rye toast, and coffee. We both agreed that the omelets were delish, perfectly cooked. HFs were well-spiced; coffee bottomless. Service was excellent. Definitely would return if in the area. 4 Yankee-lover stars

    Let's start by saying ; I don't particularly like dinners!! Under duress I found myself sitting at the Yankee Clipper Diner in Beacon. The service was fantastic , with our smiling, profesional waiter Jarred. The restaurant is really the old old fashion dinner. The food served promptly, was pipping hot, delicious and copious. They come around for coffee refill or water very often. I had the Pastrami Ruben, quite the feast. My husband had the Patty melt, served rare as asked. Both came with an enormous amount of fries. The place is clean, spacious and bright. A positive experience!!!

    California Burger
    Matthew W.

    Decent American diner food. Staff was helpful and friendly. Prices were quite good (3 entrees were under $60 after tax and tip). We ordered the California burger, Spinach Potato wrap and Creamy potato soup. Both the burger and wrap were fine but the soup was a bit too salty for our taste. Otherwise, it was a positive dining experience.

    Pancakes and scrambled eggs
    Ray M.

    I was in the neighborhood and wanted some breakfast so I stopped by Yankee Clipper Diner. It looked like a cool spot to eat at. I ordered some pancakes, eggs and toast.. The pancakes were definitely delicious. I'd get them again. The scrambled eggs were.. meh.. more like a plain omelet.. Flat.. A bit burnt too. I personally think scrambled eggs should be fluffy and not burnt. Anyway, the pancakes tasted great along with the maple syrup which makes a huge difference! If the eggs were done right I'd give them a 5 rating. The service was excellent! Waiter was very accommodating and attentive. Great attitude. Always a plus. As far as ambiance, it's a nice, clean, classic/vintage looking Diner, people and families enjoying their meals while conversing. No loud music. Just a very nice vibe. In the end, if you're looking for a nice diner to grab a bite this is a great choice! Have a good one yall! -Ray

    A busy Friday evening but seated right away with a party of 6. The food was delicious as always. Our waiter was great & very attentive. You are always greeted soon as you walk in. Nice size portions & reasonable prices! Found parking right in front but there is a parking lot behind as well. Located right on Main st to enjoy a walk before or after visiting this wonderful restaurant!

    We walked Main St. Beacon and felt like ice cream. There's a big difference between an ice cream chain and a good diner, besides the glassware and silverware they use. We were near the diner, and thought we'd try it out. This place is a classic diner. We were given menus, but didn't notice any deserts or ice cream. We asked our waiter, Jarred, if there was a dessert menu? In a moment he brought ones over. She had the classic ice cream sundae, like the one's they served in Jahn's near Fordham Road in the Bronx. Ah, the memories it brought back. There's a typical menu and cocktails. The trendy places along Main St. come and go. This place will live on!

    Salisbury steak
    Alex R.

    Straight up, I love a good old diner. Yankee clipper is one of the oldest standing restaurants in Beacon. We were craving classic Americana. Also not too surprisingly, many diners are Greek owned, as is this one, and there is a Greek section on the menu. Decided to stick with classics got Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. Also got the burger. Both dishes came with choice of salad or soup . We got the salad to start. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance is very much old school Formica counters and pleather booths etc. To the food, felt like both the burger and the Salisbury were made from the same mix. I asked for the burger on the rare side. Was sort of hard to tell by color because it was surprisingly not pink or reddish but the texture was definitely on the softer side as a more rare burger should be. The Salisbury looked better than it tasted . It is essentially a well done hamburger with gravy on top. The burger meat was not seasoned. Neither was my burger patty. The texture of the burger was good and the fries were brown and not overcooked . For roughly $25 each all in , it's not a bad price but there are so many places to choose from nearby , I would look for other burger joints if that's what you're after. 3 stars for food and 4 for nostalgia.

    My fabulous patty melt
    Amy P.

    This diner is so adorable, I had to stop in! It's very retro looking and the menu was expensive, just as I had hoped for. I was in the mood for a burger so I ordered a Swiss patty melt with the Caesar salad on the side and my friend ordered a cheeseburger with a side salad. The burgers were quite delicious with a charcoal boil taste! My patty melt was perfect and nicely toasted rye bread that was grilled in butter, so delicious! Both of us were so happy we had stopped in! Our waitress was so adorable, really friendly and very patient with our questions. I love everything about this meal! I will definitely be back! I love a good diner and this is it!

    Oreo Pancakes
    Ashley W.

    The atmosphere is very fun and retro diner vibes all the way. Service was attentive and quick. Oreo pancakes were fine. Eggs Benedict was good and the hash was delicious. The breakfast burrito was fresh but lacking in flavor (I got avocado in it which was great).

    Vibe: 7.5/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 8/10 Pancakes deluxe: 6.5/10 Veggie omelette (egg whites): 8/10 - also loved the potatoes and classic buttered toast! Steak and eggs: 7.2/10 - steak a little overcooked Overall: 7.53/10 (3.77/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

    We were walking thru Beacon. I love their Main Street. Looking at the different restaurants. Galleries. It had a bohemian feel We want ice cream. So we came to this diner for it. Looking at the menu. We didn't see anything from ice cream or milkshakes. We asked and our server Jarret informed us if a separate desert menu. I am ordering the sundae. Please no walnuts. He brought the sundae with extra cherries. and extra whipped cream it was delicious

    RECEIPT

    How SAD... I find the Yankee Clipper Diner in Beacon NY ... The service has changed.... ("NOT FOR THE BETTER") The service was ("ATROCIOUS") maybe because I arrived after 7:30 pm. The waitress by the name Lisa? She was very ("ANNOYED") Lisa was asked to take my order. From the start she was very short with me. I tried too overlook the ("POOR Attitude Lisa displayed...") The food was ("POORLY SERVED") FOOD WAS ("UNAPPETIZING") DID NOT TASTE GOOD. I had paid in advance. I have pictures... I spoke to the owner or manager ("HE COULDN'T CARE LESS ") HIS ATTITUDE WAS POOR AS WELL. One can plainly understand why the waitress acts this way. The influence, the attitudes, and actions of restaurant server can depend on management. Management must not care due to the volume of people in and out. This does not mean that it's quality or good. I don't CARE if the diner receives five stars.... NOT GOOD
