    Delicious French ghosts
    Jason M.

    Came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The booths are surprisingly small and the owners stand at the register and yammer back at forth at each other but the food was good and ready in a flash. The omelet seemed unusually small- 2 eggs vs 3?- but it was good. The homefries were great and the French ghosts were great. Service was super friendly and fast.

    Classic diner ambiance with yummy food and good service. This was the perfect spot for a quick bite that was filling and tasted great. We got the colonial breakfast special with pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage. Also a meat lovers omelet, all yummy! Recommend trying this place out!

    If you want a good breakfast or lunch, you can't get much better than eating here. I grew up in York and had been eating there since a child. It's the closest feeling to living in Mayberry! I even ran into a friend I hadn't seen in over 10 years there.

    Hidden Gem in York. If you've been here you know it's great. The staff are pleasant, they make you feel like a regular. Prices are affordable. I'm not a big fan of French toast but theirs is a must. You can dine in or take out. My only complaint is the home fries aren't the greatest.

I placed my order online and went with a Hefty size Classic Cheesesteak, and a Husky size Philly Special Hoagie. Total after tax/tip was $34.00. How were they? Cheesesteak- Fantastic! Nice seeded bread, tons of meat and cooper sharp cheese. Onions were cut a little big and laid on top, so they started to fall all over the place (eat this outside your car, trust me!) while I was eating. Flavors were great, though! Damn fine cheesesteak and I would definitely return to get another. Hoagie- This thing was packed with goodies! They also use the "meat blanket" technique that I have only seen at LaSpadas down in Florida, previously. All the ingredients were well put together, HUGE, good bread, but there was a lack of tang in the olive oil/vinegar dressing. It was basically absent. That's why the 4 stars. Maybe you need to order extra or more vinegar? Something was definitely needed though. It was pretty plain tasting. Don't get me wrong, it was still a good sandwich, but it could have been a GREAT sandwich with some extra flavor of the oil/vinegar. This would definitely be my sandwich spot if I lived in York!

    Copper Crust Co. was the lunch stop for a late-May Saturday Girls Day Out adventure, and what a…read morefind this turned out to be! My adventure buddy and I were headed to York and looking for somewhere new, different, and delicious to grab lunch. After a little online reconnaissance, Copper Crust Co. landed firmly at the top of the list. The menu looked fantastic...sweet treats, sandwiches, quiche, baked goods, and enough tempting options that narrowing down an order felt like a personal challenge! We arrived around 11:45am and were lucky enough to find a parking spot right out front. We walked inside and immediately discovered that apparently everyone else had also figured out Copper Crust Co. was the place to be. The place was PACKED! Every table was occupied and a long line stretched toward the ordering counter. Fortunately, the line moved quickly. Unfortunately, that meant we had plenty of time to stare at the bakery case while waiting. I suspect this is at least partially intentional. The display of pastries, cakes and sweet treats sits right alongside the ordering line, teasing you every step of the way. By the time I reached the register, I was contemplating lunch, dessert, second dessert, and possibly a bakery box for later. My adventure buddy ordered a classic BLT ($10.69) and a Diet Coke ($1). I decided to branch out with the Spinach, Sundried Tomato & Feta Quiche ($8.99) and a Diet Coke. Total for lunch for two came to $27.58 before tip, which felt completely reasonable. After ordering, we were given a table number and told to grab any available table we could find. This led to the only hiccup of the visit. A sign near the ordering area instructed guests to leave dishes on the tables for staff to clear, but on this particular Saturday the staff simply couldn't keep up with the volume. We eventually found an abandoned table covered with dirty dishes, crumbs, scrambled eggs, bacon remnants, and the previous guests' table marker. Copper Crust was clearly slammed. Honestly, my only suggestion would be to add a guest-accessible bussing station for busy weekends. A spot where customers could scrape plates and stack dishes would probably help tables turn over much faster when the dining room is bursting at the seams. Not wanting to hover awkwardly while waiting for staff, I cleaned the table myself and stacked everything neatly out of the way. Problem solved. A few minutes later, our food arrived and immediately erased any lingering concerns. The mixed greens salad that accompanied our meals was surprisingly excellent. Normally, a pile of just greens (plus two small pieces of pineapple) doesn't do much for me, but whatever light, slightly sweet dressing they use is fantastic! My adventure buddy and I both devoured every last leaf. The BLT featured thick-cut bacon and hearty slices of multigrain bread, both of which earned enthusiastic approval from my adventure buddy. My quiche was outstanding. The spinach, sundried tomatoes, and feta were plentiful, but the real star was the crust. Too many quiches treat the crust as an afterthought. Not this one. Flaky, buttery, substantial, and absolutely worth eating every bite. It was one of the best quiches I've had in quite a while, and I seriously considered getting back in line for another slice. Copper Crust Co. ended up being one of those unexpected gems that makes adventure days so much fun. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and enough bakery goodness to justify a return trip all by itself. Next time I'm in York around breakfast, brunch, or lunch, there's a very good chance you'll find me back in that line staring at the bakery case and making questionable decisions involving dessert before noon.

    Great spot with great service although not a great room to dine in so have some patience. Some…read moreAdvice when ordering sausage on your bagel, hold on tight because if you accompany this on the Morning Veg it's gonna be sloppy! Last advice: Try the Bread Pudding

She was able to convince the chefs to make one for us! The price of their items for the quantity you get does not match up well. We understand local and higher quality ingredients but about 6 bucks for 30 fries is a little steep. The Tavern Style Pizza was around 25 dollars. We also got a chicken biscuit sandwich for our group and it didnt come with the side it was supposed. My rating is a 4 star based on taste and quality of the food, but the prices vs the amount of the food limiting it from a 5 star. The tavern style pizza had great taste and flavor. I see why people rave about it. I would like to go back and try their archetype pizza and detroit style. The chicken egg biscuit sandwich was also delicious! Overall, we want to go back and try other items. Know it cost a little more than your local pizza shops.

    I'd like to start off by saying that I previously left a review (now deleted) that does not reflect…read morewhat Riverside Subs stands for. My first experience there was a rare occurrence, and Disma assured me that he strives to make sure that kind of experience isn't representative of Riverside. After seeing my review and taking it to heart, Disma actually reached out to me personally. That level of personal attention really stood out to me, and it's something I genuinely appreciate and respect. He personally helped remake my sub and mozzarella sticks, and they turned out way better than the first time. The steak was spread all the way to each end of the bread, and there wasn't a single bite that didn't have steak or wasn't loaded with that creamy, delicious Cooper Sharp cheddar. Stellar job on the steak. Now, I'm a stickler when it comes to mozzarella sticks, and I tend to judge a restaurant based SOLELY off the sticks . No, but seriously, these came out fantastic. They were perfectly crunchy and brown on the outside, with just a little bit of that yummy burnt cheese (my preference, fight me) and savory, stretchy mozzarella on the inside. Absolutely perfect. I also have to appreciate the atmosphere when you walk in. There's a sense of love and hard work that went into the place, and you can see the effort people have put into the building. The restaurant is very clean, and while the kitchen is clearly used, it's also well maintained, with clean surfaces and equipment. It has a homey feel because it's smaller, and the staff make it feel approachable and welcoming. I'd like to end this by saying thank you to Disma for reaching out and giving me a second chance, because I'm really glad I agreed. After speaking with him briefly, I could tell that he's someone who takes pride in what he does and what he stands for. The fact that he personally helped make my meal gave me a newfound respect for him and for what he's doing in the community. With all the hate in the world, I hope people can learn to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and try to connect first rather than immediately run to the internet. Thank you, Riverside Subs, and thank you to Disma for your hospitality. And thank you to the entire team there who makes it all happen. Finally, thank you to anyone who took the time to read this review.

Still two steps over there. So in fact, there is no handicap access for someone in a wheelchair. Fortunately, I am able to use a cane and was able to ascend a few stairs to the interior. Inside is a small restaurant with a counter for ordering and a handful of tables for seating if eating there. We stood at the order counter several minutes before anyone acknowledged our presence. In their defense, they were busy filling orders, placing to go orders on their warming area, and continuing to cook. Finally, the "cook" looked over & said, "I apologize for the wait, we'll will be with you in a minute." The young person who finally took our order seemed a bit inexperienced, but we weren't in much of a rush. Nevertheless, there still were several slip ups in our order. My wife ordered a BLT. When they asked if she wanted it on white or wheat, she said, "white, please, toasted and no onion." What she didn't realize (my wife) was that white or wheat meant a brioche style hamburger bun not traditional sliced bread. That was not clear until we asked after being served -- and were told they don't use "regular bread". Second hiccup in this order was that while the sandwich had a wonderful abundance of bacon... I mean a load!... Somehow they not only left off the onion but also was no tomato! It ended up being a bacon, lettuce and mayo sandwich on a bun. So back to the counter to ask them for several slices of tomato. (Apology accepted.) My order was for a Philly-style cheesesteak with Cooper cheese. It came very hot, juicy, and quite yummy. In fact, it was too big for me to finish. So once again, the general generosity with fillings and toppings was top-notch. Prices were very reasonable and I would encourage you to go and try it. If in the area, we likely will come back as well. As a side note, my wife worked as a server at this restaurant 68 years ago when she was a teenager! Different name back then for both the restaurant and for her. Fond memories.
