Lyndon Diner (York, PA)
While traveling through PA (the first time?) of my summer driving, I stopped at the Lyndon Diner in York. They have two locations in York and Lancaster. The Lyndon Diner has been on my to-do list for a while now, but the timing never works out.
I was excited that the timing worked out.
Lyndon Diner Atmosphere: A
The Lyndon Diner looks like a stereotypical diner. The outside is built with chrome and is a big, shiny, metallic, exterior.
The inside of the Lyndon Diner has plenty of booths, tables, a full-length bar, and dessert case. It’s a picturesque diner in all of the best ways.
Lyndon Diner Coffee: A
The coffee at the Lyndon Diner was brewed hot and fresh. Plus, the whipped cream is homemade. The waitress brought plenty of refills. In all, it was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while.
Lyndon Diner Food: A
The Lyndon Diner menu has everything you would want and need in a diner. From all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
A few of the Lyndon Diner menu options that stood out:
- Canadian bacon
- potato skins
- crab cakes
- breakfast specials like hash browns with shredded cheese
It was hard to choose! I decided with the BLT.
First, the meals came with a bread basket with pumpkin bread. It might be the best pumpkin bread I’ve tried. It seemed odd to have pumpkin bread in May, but I won’t complain because it was delicious.
I also ordered the Greek platter, which came with pita bread, hummus, olives, grapes leaves, lettuce, and tomatoes. It was huge and worth it.
The BLT was packed full of meat, bacon, and diced tomatoes. Plus the unpictured cole slaw.
It also came with a mixture of nuts and sweetener (I think). I still don’t know exactly what it was or what it was for, but it was delicious.
I also ordered sweet potato fries, which I think were the best fries I’ve had. They were crunchy, and you could taste the sweet potatoes.
My meal was delicious, and I would order it again.
Lyndon Diner Service: A
The waitress at the Lyndon Diner immediately introduced herself, and she said she was new. Truthfully, I would have never guessed if she never told me. She refilled our beverages fast, our food came out quickly, and she was friendly.
Cost: $
For my coffee, Greek platter, and BLT, the cost was $16.
Overall Thoughts/Summary of the Lyndon Diner:
I liked the Lyndon Diner, and I’m glad I stopped. I would love to go back, and it was a positive experience. I highly recommend if you’re going through Lancaster and York.

Questions for you:
Do you like pumpkin bread?
What’s your favorite bread?
Bread and whipped cream, 2 of my favorite things LOL
Me too. Whipped cream makes everything better.
Holy yum … I probably would have drizzled the nut and sweetner combo on the sweet potato fries just to see if it was a good flavor combo! Question of the Day … do you usually choose sweet potato fries when they are offered?
