Heisey's is a true old school local diner, and I mean that in the absolute best way. My grandpa and I come here for breakfast pretty regularly, and it's one of those places where there are clearly tons of regulars, the servers know everybody, and some people barely need to order. My grandpa is one of them. Our server is usually Dee, and she is always incredibly friendly, attentive, and FAST. Honestly, that's one of the things that always impresses me here the food comes out ridiculously quickly even when they're busy. My breakfast go to is half a "honky" eggs, potatoes, peppers and onions all mixed together with cheese on top, plus toast. Nothing overly fancy or trying too hard. Just really good, filling diner breakfast. And the prices are almost unheard of anymore. My grandpa and I can still get breakfast for under $20 for both of us. But everybody talks about Heisey's for breakfast, and I'm here to tell you: don't sleep on dinner. Their fried fish is one of my absolute favorites. It's MASSIVE and so good. The restaurant itself is bigger than it looks, too. There's the main diner, additional dining areas and banquet space, plus a bar around the back all connected. There's a reason Heisey's has been a local staple for so long. We'll keep coming back. read more

Unfortunately, I would not return to this establishment. Everything we touched felt dirty and like there was a layer of grease on top. Ordered a soda and it left a funky taste in my mouth. Asked for a new one and it had the same taste. Once the food came out, I had already lost my appetite. The food was not good and I was coming from the field eating packed ready meals so had high expectations. read more

Heisey's Diner - Steak and 2 Eggs with Home Fries - American Near Me - Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Good old fashioned diner. Met an old friend and enjoyed one of her favorite spots. The meals were very inexpensive. I had fish... Couldn't even finish it, although it was delicious. Homefries were tasty and freshly made by hand... No frozen potatoes here!! The wait staff was pleasant and knew my friend... Added to the friendly diner feel. My friend had a burger and soup.. both as tasty as she remembered. I'd meet her there again, but wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

The food is good and very reasonable. The service is excellent. Easy and plenty of parking. Good overall experience.

This place is going down hill Last couple times service was terrible. Today server was great but portion sizes and food quality is really bad. Not sure what it is but this use to be a good place and always busy. Not no more. Also if you want a table and go for lunch you need to sit in the bar. Not everyone wants to be around alcohol read more

Great comfort food and much larger dining area than what I expected from the outside. I had a burger and fries with an iced tea and my sister had fried fish with a cola. read more

Mediocre at best, who is very busy at lunchtime, who are the food is just so so. The home fries were undercooked and not very good. Add the vegetable wrap who is messy and very hard to eat. Probably worth another try, Maybe in the future. read more

Atmosphere is very bleak and the building feels very run down. Food was cold and service was horrible. I do not recommend at all. Plastic throw away cups and water pitchers are not very classy. read more

Tables were ALL covered with dirty plates, etc from people that left--NO BUSBOY- and 1/3 of them had nO people eating there, they left and table were NEVER cleaned. New customers must come in and sit at a table full of someones germ filled dishes and wait for it to be cleaned. We sat a group of 3 prople, a couple of 2, and a group of 6 walk out after standing waiting for someone to say hello to them. The service from the waitress was great, but she had the ENTIRE room, while the other waitress had the bar--NO BUSBOYS there, but you could see them walking around in the kitchen area. POOR way to run a restaurant--We try to eat there twice a week because like supporting local business, and the prices are good, but too much work for a single waitress to do everything, and customers were sitting talking about sitting with trash where they are about to eat. GET A BUSBOY, or you will continue to lose business !!!!! read more

Decor/service- Classic diner with a smaller menu. It has plenty of seating and they seemed to have added on at some point. Service can be on the slow side for a diner. Not the cleanest but the dirtiest either. 2/5 Food- the menu is small as I mentioned above for a diner. The food all tasted like classic diner food. Stuff you can get at almost any diner in any city across the US. read more

Great Chicken corn rivel soup. Super friendly service. Side dishes reflected some Pennsylvania Dutch influences that we don't have in Western PA. read more

We made this stop for an early dinner and were happy with our visit. The inside is kind of narrow, but easy to move around. We were seated upon entering and many other tables were open as well. I really like the interior design which is appealing to look at. The menu had a lot to offer, and it's awesome to see the variety they had. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger cooked medium rare, which was pretty good for a dining style. It had a decent amount of flavor, but not so juicy compared to others I've had. The proportion isn't that big, which still left me kind of full. Overall, a great diner to visit. read more

Very happy with Heisey's. Great food and prices. Staff is very friendly and really seamed to like their job evidence by the smiles on their faces. The front of the dinner is a retro area of the 1970 diners booths and bar area, there is a dining room area to use but we did not use it, and there is a bar attached but once again we did not use it. read more

Very busy, but I was taken care of quickly. Excellent, friendly service, and the Italian Sausage sandwich was delicious.

Came for breakfast with some coworkers. They did the biscuits and gravy, one other person got the hungry man breakfast, I got the two eggs with onion, peppers, and scallop potatoes, and two sides of bacon. The bacon and apple juice were the highlight of this excursion. The two who got the biscuits and gravy weren't impressed. My mixed eggs and potatoes with onion and pepper plate was extremely bland. Luckily you can douse the plate with Texas Pete hot sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper to bring it up to par. The prices are decent. If you are looking for a low sodium meal, then this is the place for you. read more

Heisey's Diner - 2 eggs, onion, pepper, and scallop potatoes - American Near Me - Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Always good food at decent prices and the staff is friendly I have not eaten the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing but I do notice how fast it disappears whenever I am there! read more

31/2 stars. This place has been around for a long time. I decided to hit it up for breakfast. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning with the parking lot almost full at 8am. I sat at the counter. Very fast service. What's an omelette with home fries with onions with toast, iced tea, and water = $9.08. Pretty cheap. The food was pretty bland. If it wasn't for the onions, the home fries had no flavor. It's probably packed because it's cheap. They were better options in the area. read more

First time here, we are traveling. Lots of cars in parking lots so thought a good. First started in the front dining room was told to go to the back dining room. We sat in a small room no one came then was told we where the blue room? So got up again to another. Yes!!!! Finally we were waited on. This is why I gave it a poor rating. The breakfast was good and faster coming out then it took us to find the right dining room. read more

Gee -My Mom and I went to Heiseys on Thursday early evening. It was banging / like very full . I will not go there at that time again; we couldnt find a seat except in the bar and it was very busy and loud! We got there at 4 and we waited an hour to be waited on . I wouldve left but Mom and I were hungry. It wouldnt have been so bad but they only had 2 servers and a little help from the Bar maid. He needs more help !!! But the food was good as always and I am always full when I leave !!!!! Gee Mr. Heisey --get some more night time help Please !!!!! read more

I decided to have my dinner here on a recent Saturday night. Arrived shortly after 630 pm and came through the back dining room, through the kitchen and down a hallway, ending up inside the actual diner. This is just where I wanted to be. Was told to take any place that was clear of dirty dishes. Thought I saw an empty booth in the far corner but it was full of dirty dishes. As I was walking around, looking for an empty table or booth, other customers were coming in and specifically told to sit at any place that was clear of dirty dishes. I decided to take a seat at a small table, next to a full booth, close to the door that leads one into a section of booths and eventually into the back dining room. My server dropped off a menu and took my drink order. I looked over the menu and just like my visit here many years ago, I decided on a full dinner, which included soup, salad, entree, 2 sides and a dessert. I chose a cup of chili, tossed salad with 1,000 isle dressing, half a fried chicken, macaroni salad, potato cakes and a piece of apple pie for dessert. The chili was almost all beans and tasteless. The salad was from a bag and the dressing tasted commercial. The fried chicken was full of disgusting bloody veins, sections of chewy masses of questionable chicken and was so tiny in size, that it was approximately the size of a full chicken breast at a fast food restaurant?? I could go on and tell you like it is but I'll talk about the good here. The macaroni salad was served in a monkey dish and was not even half full. It was tasty and probably made on premise? The potato cakes were just under seared mash potatoes that were formed into " cakes." The apple pie filling was delicious but the crust was underbaked and looked very pale. 2 stars for the food and one additional star for the wonderful service which bumps my 2 star review up to 3 stars. I will definitely not be returning here but this diner has great potential but I don't see anything changing for the good. If they take note and just did one change, I would suggest having the entire place deep steam cleaned to eliminate the nasty urinal stench that seems to be deeply embedded throughout, but especially noticeable in the actual diner. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I got the Turkey bacon club sandwich with coleslaw was absolutely delicious!! read more

I always love what ever I order at Heisey's it's all delicious and reasonably priced don't pass by stop and eat you won't be disappointed

The food quality and quantity is exceptional. The fried pork chops are wonderful. My grandson had the double cheeseburger and Gould not finish it. read more

Yikes. Awkward seating / reception experience, the worst pork chops I've ever had, and an inattentive server. I just moved to the area and I'm not sure what the hype is about. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again someday. read more

Good food, good service, only problem is it can get very loud. But hey atleast you know costumers have free will.

Ham with pineapple sauce was out of this world! Hubby had BBQ sandwich which was delicious. Chocolate cream pie was so fresh! Will be back! Food n service was great. read more

The dinner was so so and they do not even use real gravy but our issue was beyond the mediocre food. Our waitress hates kids and was rude as could be wouldn't even smile at us but would smile and talk kindly to every other table. We had suspected it was due to 2 children being in tow but seeing another review I'm sure it was the same waitress and same experience we had. She was short with us seemed irritated that she even had to wait on us the entire time we were there. She is older with hair that is dyed dark. If She hates kids so much that she is crappy to her paying customers who have them maybe she should work in a bar somewhere. We will never be back we can go to Pine Grove diner or Esthers next time. read more

Good place to eat friendly environment friendly staff overall all the great American in Pennsylvania Dutch meals

Camping nearby and drove 25 mins out of my way to try this place and it's closed at 10:30 am on a Saturday. Fk this place and yelp

I'm beyond pissed off with this place today we loved coming here. But when you are sat down and waited almost 20 minutes then they sit a table behind you and go to take their drink order without even saying a word to you is utter bullshit . Get some damn order realize what's there. There is no excuse for how that happens and being someone who came here once a week I'm pretty sure I'm done coming. Taking my business elsewhere where there is order and respect. Those Facebook response to how they respect someone who was a loyal customer read more

This is my go to diner. The food is wonderful, i love the crab cakes and french toast. The employees are very friendly and always so helpful. read more

Interesting diner for locals I must say. Diner entrance was your typical look but then it also had a dining side and bar area. Menu had the typical specials. I stuck with the chicken strips and fries, while my coworkers got pork chops, grilled chicken, cheese omelet. Overall, food was blah, service was great. I give it a 4 cause it was awesome to see locals having a place to gather and eat cheaply. read more

Heisey's Diner - Specials - American Near Me - Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Food was good (except for the lack of chicken in the chicken corn soup), and the price seemed reasonable. This was the first diner we've been to that does not serve breakfast all day. They do have some breakfast items you can get after 11am, like eggs, pancakes, and home fries, so why not just serve everything else? We sat right outside their kitchen/staff area, so it was pretty loud, and you could hear their conversations. Nothing makes you want to eat at a place more when you hear a waitress say they're going to spit in this b#$&*'s food. I understand that it's probably like this in every restaurant and dealing with the public, but maybe it's best not to say these things when you have customers within earshot. read more

This place sucks . I ordered two eggs, bacon, scrapple and fried potatoes. Everything was wrong the eggs where raw so was the scrapple the bacon was wobbly and the potatoes were an oily mess . I really struggled to keep my temper at bay but it wasn't my waitress fault that the cooks don't have basic culinary skill . If I owned this establishment I'd be very embarrassed . read more

Great little diner. Stopped for breakfast while in town. Food was good, exactly what you would expect diner food to be. Would definitely return here. read more

Restaurant was over 50% capacity and the waitresses didn't even try to keep their masks on their mouths let alone their faces. It did. It feel clean or safe and we walked out. read more

Always stop here when traveling north out of Lancaster county and if it is time to eat. Portions are always huge, food is steaming hot and menu is varied. I do think they have the best breakfast in central Pennsylvania. Do yourself a favor, if you are traveling by here stop by. Even if it is for a piece of our and coffee. One last comment. Dalton is a great waiter. So courteous and accommodating. read more
