Ashley got our drink order, confirmed they serve breakfast all day and proceeded to take our orders. Waited about 15 minutes for our "breakfast for dinner" to arrive. Overall, good breakfast! read more

A true diner! Great food, fabulous waitstaff and the place is always so incredibly clean. Their broccoli salad is not to be missed. I've never even had a so-so meal. We usually plan our trips up and down the east coast around this place so we hit it at a meal time. read more

This was a great stop on our way from DC to the Poconos. Service was fast and food was great. Some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever been in. Kids meal came with ice cream! read more

The place was clean, the server pleasant and the food was okay...not spectacular, just okay. Our complaint lies first in the host who seated us. My wife and I are old. Not too old, but we're definitely not as young and fast on our feet as we used to be. The youngster took two menus and told us to follow him. We went right past several perfectly empty booths, trying to keep up with this guy. He disappeared into the side room completely oblivious to the fact that he had lost us along the way. When we finally caught up, he actually looked annoyed that we had made him wait. After we got seated, our server took our order and we were served our breakfast. My wife had an omelet with home fries and wheat toast, while I had two eggs over, homefries, sausage patty and sourdough toast ($1.00 upcharge). We both had coffee and water to drink. The food was good. A real diner breakfast. The problem is had was the value for the price. Our bill was $33.82 after taxes. We should have gone to our local diner (Dover) and had a breakfast that was every bit as good for half the price. In the future, that's exactly what we'll do. read more

Made a sudden stop here for a late breakfast on the way to Gettysburg. Its a solid diner right on US 15, so was very convenient. Large space. Food was okay - the pancakes were crispy though nothing special, coffee was strong, home fries were very ordinary, rye bread was nice. Generous portions. read more

Bakers is one of those places where, on a good day is okay, and on other days is regrettable. This morning was a regrettable one for me and my breakfast buddies. I ordered a croissant-wich breakfast sandwich and hash browns. The hash browns seemed like they mashed a potato onto a pan and heated it. No seasoning could be detected, and no oil or veggies either. The croissant seemed old, dry and flavorless as well. The only thing that had any character at all was the fried eggs and bacon inside the sandwich. That part was overloaded with salt, which, under the circumstances was appreciated for its flavor. The coffee too was forgettable. We tend to go long stretches between visits, and this is why. read more

They can't take orders right and up charge you and once you say the menu didn't say that they bring a server menu recommended so they can charge you more. WOULD NOT COME HERE!!!! read more

The ambience is nice. The service is good. However the pancakes were practically raw, the French toast was doughy and the home fries were lukewarm. The eggs, bacon and sausage were good. I asked for the manager and she said she would take something off our check. We ended up paying $20 for eggs and bacon!! Plus we had to pay for the coffee so our bill was still $30 plus the tip. When I spoke to the manager, Penny, I gave her advice to apologize for the service not being up to par she said "well I'm not the cook". But YOU'RE THE MANAGER!!! We won't be going back. This place has gone downhill over the years and I wish someone cared. read more

Baker's Diner 11-7-24 Stopped in on Thursday at 1pm for lunch. This place was clean, neat, and not full. There were only a couple tables with customers in them. The interior was very nice and laid gave you the feel of an upscale dinner. I loved the showcase filled with all kinds of deserts near the front, so you don't forget them after you eat. Our waitress Nikki came over fast for our drink order, when she came back to deliver our drinks she took our food order. The menu is large, they have specials for each day of the week and daily Senior specials to boot. I believe there is something for everyone on that menu. We both ordered the Open Turkey Sandwich with 1 side and soup or salad. For my side I got mashed potatoes and a salad. My wife's sides were coleslaw and a salad. Nikki brought out our salads very quickly. The salads looked good, and all items looked fresh and tasted great. The salad was bigger than I thought, and it was very good. As soon as we were done with the salads our Turkey Sandwiches came out. They looked amazing, the Turkey, bread and gravy filled the entire plate. It was so good and so tasty. The Mashed potatoes were good, and they seemed to go well with Turkey. My wife loved her Turkey and the coleslaw. I have to say this was a very good dish. The only thing I would have liked is for the dish to be a little hotter. It was not cold but could have been hotter for that 5th star. I can't wait to go back and try something else. You need to go here as prices are reasonable, service is good, and the food is great. I give this place 4 stars out of 5. Nikki thanks for the great service and checking back many times to see if we needed anything. Follow me on FB for more reviews. Gulf Coast Terry read more

Baker's Diner - Ruben sandwich and Monte cristo - American Near Me - Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

We love trying new places and decided to stop into Bakers. Upon entering you could smell mildew. We tried to ignore it and give the place a chance. The food was awful and the service was worse. We ordered coffee to start. One cup came with full lipstick on it. Husband sent it back. I was pretty grossed out, but used a straw on the next cup. Still trying to give it a chance. We got a burger and requested pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss, a salad, and broccoli salad. The salad and broccoli salad came first. The broccoli salad was limp and soggy, obviously aged. The burger came and had rancid tasting Swiss on it instead of pepper jack. Took one bite and just couldn't eat more. Our waitress was grumpy and disappeared, we had to wait a while to pay so we could just be done with this place. We did not complain because there was no point in it. We did not want something else from there and we were not trying to get free food. We will not be back. Management should really try to improve things. read more

In the era of Diners disappearing it is an absolute blessing to dine at Baker's. A frequent visitor when I'm in the Harrisburg area. Be it breakfast, luch or diner, Baker's dosen't disappoint. As inflation has caused many businesses to raise prices, Bakers is still a quality meal at reasonable prices. My favorite is the Broasted Chicken with mashed potato and broccoli cole slaw. Service was excellent and atmosphere was pleasan​t. Kudos to this family owned business. read more

My wife and I started stopping here shortly after the COVID lockdown ended. Up until the last 18 months I would have given six stars! It was really good. The food was very good for 'diner food', all the staples were delicious. Burgers, check. Sandwiches, check. Breakfast, oh yes! However, the past three times we were there, we were incredibly disappointed. It started with little things like mixing up our order with another table. Food coming out cold. I ordered the pasta jambalaya, it was lukewarm, and wasn't very tasty. Yesterday did it for us. My wife ordered the Special, Yankee Pot Roast. It was awful. There were two pieces of meat swimming in a bowl of what looked like dish water. There were grey potatoes, and maybe four pieces of carrot. She took a bite of the alleged beef, and let me tell you, I have never seen such a look of disgust. She started chewing, and chewing, and chewing... I motioned the waitress over and told her the dish was inedible. Meantime, my wife is chewing, and chew... I think you get it. She clearly gagged trying to get the bite down. She's never the complaining type, but she did agree with me. We weren't charged for the dish, and she got a burger which was ok, but we decided that we'll stop somewhere else next time we're in Dillsburg. Oh, I should add, the coffee is very good. I also noticed that the Yankee Pot Roast wasn't on the "list of specials" by the door when we left. Ha ha! read more

In my opinion, this is your average diner. The atmosphere reminds me of the typical diner where the music is festive/upbeat, the food is good, legit home style diner food, and the service is quick and efficient. read more

After years of driving by this place on my way to MD, I decided to take my father here to try it. Very clean overall appearance. Plenty of options on the menu. I got the chicken salad wrap with extra crispy onion rings. My father got the liver and onions off the senior menu. We were pleasantly surprised at how fresh and tasty our meals were. (Our expectations were low based on negative experiences at other diners.) Just for kicks, I got a piece of banana cream pie for dessert. It was heavenly. Staff was friendly and professional. Overall, a great experience. We will be back. Thank you! read more

Second time we have been here. First time was a few years back. The portions here are amazing. The staff is fantastic.. our waitress was amazing and attentive. they really are running around like crazy because they are short staffed like everywhere now. It definitely got busier around 8:30 but they were working as a team to keep the customers happy. Our son ordered the kids pancake. We anticipated some small round thing and out comes a Mickey pancake.. he was so excited. My husband had the two egg breakfast and fully enjoyed it. I opted for an English muffin and hash browns because I want hungry and I am trying to eat as close to vegetarian as possible. The hash browns were very tasty. I did add a touch more salt because that's my preference.. Highly suggest for a nice breakfast. read more

What has happened to this diner?!? Always stop here commuting from Allentown, PA to Washington DC and order turkey club sandwiches to go. Used to be the best club sandwich around but the triple deckers from the last 2 stops have been terrible. Hardly any turkey in a $13 sandwich! And the past visit did not have much lettuce in the sandwiches either, just a few small pieces in each. Absolutely a rip off for the price. Hoped the previous visit was a one-off but now have received sandwiches of the same poor quality two times in a row this spring. Please save your money and go elsewhere, or at least forgo the turkey club sandwich for the price! read more

Decided to head to Bakers for Easter brunch. Food is good, not excellent. Pricing is reasonable for the area. You typically get good portions of food for the price. It's one of those places that is good in a pinch and will satisfy you, but it's not a place that I routinely go to. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. You can wait for a table weekend mornings when it's busy, but typically can get seated pretty quickly otherwise. If I had one criticism, it's that I always get seated next to little children who inevitably act up. I wish they would utilize the entire restaurant area instead of cramming patrons into one section. Other than that, I'll continue to stop in here and there and get my sausage gravy over biscuit which is always a good choice. Disappointed in the home fries almost every time I go. Tell them to fry those things in butter for some flavor!! read more

Server was nice and diner was clean. Was looking for quality breakfast. Ordered the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs and wheat toast. The chicken fried steak came with sausage gravy on it. Not really a good combo. As sausage gravy has a very unique taste and so does not pair with chicken fried steak. The pieces of toast were small and burnt . Home fries were barely cooked. Just seems to be another place that in this post Covid era, the quality of food has gone down and prices have gone up. read more

My husband and I went today at around 4 pm. They were not very busy. As we waited to be seated we were completely ignored. One girl was at the counter chatting with a customer. She saw us. Another girl came out from the back and ignored us. Then a third woman came out. She did not ignore us. She gave us the stink eye and turned and went back to the kitchen. Unbelievable! We had not been there for about 20+ years due to bad service. When I say never again, I mean NEVER. Really poor customer treatment. read more

A great breakfast and wonderful service in a traditional diner in the heartland!! Definitely stop again when in the area!

Open beef roast sandwich with french fries was horrible absolutely disgusting You can't even the beep was very chewy and I couldn't even swallow it.. The clam chowder wasn't even clam chowder with some hot much crap like mashed potato soup absolutely disgusting. There was no clams in it at all.. I will definitely not be back How about to eat at McDonald's or at Denny's before coming back to this disgusting place. read more

we have passed this for years and it was always busy. Last night was the worst meal we have had! Meatloaf and potatoes cold. Roast Turkey also cold, gravy was gelatinous and the stuffing ( aka filling) was a horrible tasting mush. Cobb salad had avocado that tasted off. The service was extremely slow. Had to ask for more coffee. Took over an hour to get food. Within half an hour had upset stomach and am still sick. DO NO WASTE TIME OR MONEY! We mentioned our displeasure and nothing was done to make it right. None of us finished our dinner. read more

So I travel by this location every week, I have eaten here before but this time it was ripe for a review. We arrived 8am, not too busy and a lot of the locals were in. We got seated right away and the host was warm and welcoming. By the way, this was the highlight of the visit. Once seated the server arrived and asked about drinks and went to get them. Oh! Never once did she say welcome, how are you, have you been here before, nada, zip, zilch, Nuevo! About as personable as a wet log in the Allegheny River or on Three Mile Island! So we ordered omelette's. Mine the steak and cheese "with sliced steak" and a meat lovers. You can see mine in the pictures and sliced was not even close, more like ground beef, overall it looked grey and unappetizing. It tasted like dirt (as in no flavor) no matter what I did to it as the kitchen did a number on this. Over all both omelettes were horrible and barely with eating. The server was unpleasant, the food as well and for my money this is not a place to stop and enjoy a Dinner Experience. read more

Baker's Diner - Belgian Waffle with strawberries and whipped cream, with a side of scrapple. OJ and Coffee to drink. - American Near Me - Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

I have been to this restaurant several times over ten years. I have to say that this last time will have to be my last time. 8:30 am on a Saturday restaurant was half full waitress took our order. Then proceeded to have a conversation with a coworker, not an issue unless it takes 15 min while standing at the beverage counter to bring our drinks. I ordered the Greek omelet with rye toast and home fries. The omelet had no feta cheese in it. It's supposed to, and the toast was cold and missing butter. Let's not mention the home fries. Totally devoid of flavor. Sorry folks I will pass on this establishment in the future. read more

Ordered Capital French toast meal - eggs over medium. The eggs still had uncooked runny egg white. I found a metal shaving from possibly a metal Brillo pad in the home fries. I brought this up to the attention. A good restaurant would be embarrassed and want to do what's right by the . However, this management decided it would be OK just to separate the meal and charge me French toast plus meat and charge me separate for the coffee when the coffee is part of the French toast meal special. When I brought it up to her attention that it was all part of the meal she said well I ate the French toast and I drank the coffee and I said well. I also ate some of the potatoes before I found out that they had metal shaving in it. My mom ordered a Belgian waffle with and they didn't even bring out the bananas we had to re-order that sure that was right. The coffee was way too and the staff was not all that pleasant. The waitress didn't even ask if we wanted more coffee or did not care about her customers like the management didn't care about the customers either. we will not be going back. read more

You walk in and the case of desserts up at the counter look AMAZING! Your hopes are high. And if you want a waffle...your dreams are answered! The waffle was PERFECT. Possibly the best waffle I've ever had. But that's where the goodness ends. We ordered pancakes, a waffle, corned beef hash, home fries, turkey sausage and scrambled eggs. $42 worth of food. The waffle was great, the hash was passable as was the turkey sausage. The pancakes might have been okay if the "butter" hadn't had the flavor of oily margarine and the syrup actually had anything like maple. It was essentially colored sugar water. Killed the whole pancake experience. The home fries had zero flavor. Didn't even taste like a good potato. Salt and pepper didn't bring it around. The eggs were flat strips of something yellow. I've never seen an egg presented like that. Nor do I wish to again. They were terrible. Utterly inedible. You'd expect for the prices that this would be a good place to eat. There were a decent number of people getting duped the day we went. Maybe their experience was different. Our was awful. The server had to know we weren't happy. She picked up the pancakes about 5 minutes after dropping them off with two bites out of one of them but did not even ask if something was wrong. Clearly didn't care. We paid, left and won't be back. Save yourself the trouble and don't bother with this WAY overpriced diner. Dennys would have been far superior. read more

The Sunday special " Baked Swiss Steak" is a great hit! It surprised me with the rich flavor, moisture and the tenderness of the steak. The side dishes of mashed potatoes were made with real potatoes and the soups were homemade and delicious. Great place with great service; large portions of dishes with reasonable prices. Really enjoyed the dining experience. Highly recommend. Glad we found this place for grabbing a bite on the way heading back to NY. Hope to come back soon. read more

Loved the portions. Fantastic local diner. Great service. Classic diner that is local and superior to the formulaic franchised diners in the big city. read more

Terrific service and pretty good food. One of just a few traditional diners along Route 15 in Pennsylvania. We usually don't stop for a sit-down meal on our way through that part of PA, but had to take and make calls and answer a few emails and Baker's just happened to be at the right place at the right time. They have a pretty extensive menu and I think they serve breakfast all day (which is the hallmark of a truly great eating establishment)! I had an omelette of some sort, with mozzarella cheese, bacon and something else. My wife had an avocado wrap. Both were delicious. One was a better choice than the other...(hint, BACON)! read more

Driven by here a bunch of times when driving between PA and VA. Stopped in on a Friday night. Place is quite large. Had the lamb special with two sides and soup. Loved it. Great diner menu with huge desserts. read more

Not to sure about this place. It's always busy when we would drive passed going to places. So we stopped. First off the witness could not multitask and what I call a busy body, meaning to worried about everyone she worked with. On top of that the hostess, well he did not care that he was putting to many ppl in her station. He would sit them down and just walk away. Very Immature to be working in the frount greeting people. So as far as the food not to good at that either. My husband never got his soup the food I got was nothing that I ordered. Just all in all not a very good experience. You can try it for yourself but as far as for myself I will not go back. read more

Your typical diner with typical diner food...but the desserts looked amazing!!! They have a nice size menu here so you should be able to find something you like. We stopped on our way through town on a road trip and had never been here. Our waitress was very attentive. My hubby ordered corn beef hash, sausage, an omelet and hashbrowns and he wolfed it down so it must've been good! I had the tuna melt on wheat bread. The tuna was good, my only complaint was that by the time it came out to me, the bottom of the bread was REALLY soggy and it was difficult to eat. They do put a nice amount of tuna on the sandwich, I would only suggest they use thicker bread or even offer it on sourdough (that would've been yummy!!). My lemon meringue pie afterwards hit the spot. We paid our bill at the counter and hit the road! read more

Great service and food at a great price! The sweet potato fries are scrumptious. We requested syrup and powdered sugar, and received small sauce cups of these plus honey. I love them with powdered sugar. My dining partner enjoyed syrup. We ate chicken quesadillas, delicious moist chicken and cheese inside perfectly sautéed flour tortilla shells. Spicy tomato sauce accompanied them. I had a cup of vegetable soup LOADED with ideal consistency vegetables in a red base. The restaurant was meticulously clean with covid-19 procedures adhered. Thank you for a super lunch! read more

Nice dinner as we traveled thru after visiting Gettysburg National Park. A diner atmosphere with a large menu selection. They have daily specials as well. I had a delicious Patty Melt. I ordered Clam Chowder with it but our server came back and they had sole out so she brought me a very good garden salad. Service was a little slow but given the situation restaurants are having with enough staffing it was evident we weren't neglected the servers were very busy. I realize eating out now this is normal and I do not give them negative ratings for this. There was a Big selection of homemade desserts in a display case when you enter. The prices were very reasonable for quality and quality of food and I would recommend for breakfast , lunch or dinner. read more

Baker's is reasonably close to our house so when I dont want to cook and my spouse and I want a quick and convenient dinner that's not wrapped in paper and served in a bag, it's almost a no-brainer. We've been going there every few weeks lately. Last night we chose Baker's for convenience and the wide variety of choices. Hubby was happy with his breakfast (he says it's hard to mess up breakfast) It was not a good decision for me, though. As always, service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant was well lit and clean. The TV was on football, and the sound system was on annoying bad-grammar hip-hop. I got chicken gumbo (pretty good but too spicy for me). The other soup option was ham n bean, which is usually too salty, a small salad (it was plain iceberg, tomato, and cuke, but good: fresh and crisp), and Shepherd's pie (it was blah and not good at all). I rarely have Shepherds pie, but I have been having stomach issues , and I thought it would be innocuous, not greasy or spicy. Itidn't have anything good going for it. The bottom layer had very little ground beef, and (ugh) canned vegetables. I expected fresh, or at least frozen, but no, they were overcooked mushy canned vegetables. No seasoning that I could detect; no parsley or thyme or rosemary or dill, no taste. The mashed potatoes on top were plentiful and prettily sprinkled with paprika but they had the same problem: tasteless. I think they were instant. My dinner was a disappointment. I can't wait for a good turkey dinner in a few days! A customer nearby got french oniion soup that looked wonderful; covered with a large amount of melted cheese. I avoid ordering French onion soup because most places use too much salt and mozzarella cheese. mozzarella is easy and melts well, but quickly turns rubbery. I make excellent French Onion soup, and use Fontina or a mix of Fontina, Asiago and Gouda. We will go to Bakers again because it is convenient, but i'll get soup or salad and a sandwich. read more

My husband had the meatloaf from the very large senior menu. I had the broiled homemade crabcake from the senior menu. Both of our meals came with soup or salad and a choice of sides and dessert. Both of our meals were delicious and we recommend highly. Our server was excellent - responsive, professional and gracious. We will definitely return. read more

First time coming here because we wanted something quick for dinner. The waiter was not very friendly and barely came to check on us and when we needed something he was nowhere to be seen. The food also took awhile to get out to us and when we did get it, it wasn't that great. Then, we went to checkout and the guy who checked us out was very rude. He wanted everything done fast, even took my credit card out of my hand just to tap it on the machine which was right in front of me, I am fully capable of doing that myself. All in all, I will not be returning, it was also not that great for how much we spent. read more
