    I always come here as it's a family tradition. Food is great, prices are unbeatable, staff is friendly and they're always quick, food comes out fast, loads of seating. It does get packed every now and then, but that's not something to consider bad. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast, if not lunch

    Senior turkey dinner

    I was here on a Sunday night about 6:00pm waitress was friendly but definitely a preoccupied teenager.Prices were well within reason. My food came out hot and in good time. I ordered the senior turkey meal. It had big chunks of turkey in it. Not sliced turkey breast. For flavor of the value I recommend this place. I will be returning.

    It's your basic diner just off the tourist area in town. The place is clean and the prices are great. There appeared to be a lot of locals in here the morning we came in for lunch. Straight forward menu and friendly service all the way around. We had the Reuben and also the "Rachel" (turkey reuben) for lunch along with fries and onion rings. NOTE: lunch sandwiches do not automatically come with fries or onion rings or other sides to boot, those are additional. The restroom is located down a steep and narrow set of stairs.

    Lincoln Diner - Gettysburg, PA Wonderful service and a HUGE menu with something for everyone. The grilled chicken was absolutely delicious! Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the simple but cute atmosphere makes it a great place to relax. Perfect spot for big families--highly recommend!

    Solid breakfast in a historic 1950s Silk City dining car. Quick, friendly service. I love the fact that the Gettysburg railroad track runs next to the building. You can certainly find fancier, more flavorful breakfasts in town, but for a decent affordable breakfast in a historic setting, you can't do much better than this.

    The food was awesome. I love an old school diner. The staff is super friendly and the order was correct. I got a western omelette with a side of crispy bacon. It was perfect. I had an orange juice to drink. It's from the machine but still pretty good. Parking is either on the street or a very tight parking lot on the side of the diner. It can be tough to get in and out of there. Bathrooms are down stairs. Definitely try this one. Other reviews almost deterred me and I'm glad we went anyway!

    All the players- my family, wait staff shown in mirror reflection, and me.

    Review The Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg,PA has an old fashioned lunch counter section and a regular dining section. The food selection is the same for both. There is breakfast all day, hours 7 am to 9 pm, and a family friendly atmosphere. No alcohol served here. First off, the coffee is really good. No fancy specialty coffee, but the flavor is indicative of a freshly ground beans. Our waitress was absolutely a scholar of the menu and knew every combination backwards and forwards. She and her trainee refilled drinks at the proper times, got us our food quickly (still hot), and was so nice! The menu was wide ranging from all day breakfast to a traditional steak dinner. The Lincoln Diner also has a Greek flair to it (the current owners are from Greece) with Gyros and Spanakopita available. Portions sizes were very large. I got a Gyro, wife a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs for the youngest, and breakfast French Toast and eggs for the oldest. Everybody agreed the food was delicious. A large selection of pies and cake was available for dessert (we couldn't have any-too full!). And the price was a just right fit: around $56 for the four of us. The walls are sparsely decorated with a couple paintings/prints with a fresh coat of paint. Country music is piped in while we were there (neither good or bad depending on your music taste). Something for everyone at a great price. I recommend Lincoln's Diner in Gettysburg.

    We had breakfast here w/ my boys and we all enjoyed our food and service. Sausage gravy had a good amount of sausage in it. This was satisfying and gravy over my home fries was a first a great idea. Ambiance was like a 50's diner w/an addition. The front part is nice and cool, the addition loses its luster. Bathroom is in the basement and isn't handicap accessible.

    Stopped here while staying in Gettysburg. Located right behind our hotel - it was an easy walk in the morning. There is plenty of seating, not just a regular diner but also an extra seating area in the rear of the diner. Ordered a breakfast sandwich - went with scrapple egg and cheese. Added home fries which were more like actual potato slices grilled crispy. Liked those a lot. Just a solid diner. Waitress seemed like she hated her job. I can relate. Would recommend

    Had breakfast at the Lincoln Diner both mornings I was in Gettysburg. Both times it was a hearty and delicious meal. I had pretty standard fare both days (over-easy eggs, hash, and English muffin) but the food was fresh and well-prepared, the portions were plentiful, and the service was top-notch. Will go back when I next visit Gettysburg.

    This place wasn't bad. I would never have chosen it, and it's not on a future hit list, but if you have to eat here, it's fine. Our server was very new, but friendly. I did enjoy my grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Cherry pie was awful though. Served cold and had no flavor. Desserts in the dessert case look good, so not sure what happened with the pie. Quite sad, considering this is a diner. It's fine if you live here, but as a visitor, I would go somewhere else.

The only food we ordered was the wings, which were also delicious. Our only complaint was the bar staff eating in plain sight of customers behind the bar, including eating chips with their hands and then mixing and serving cocktails without washing their hands. The bar was not busy at the time, so the staff should be afforded the opportunity to take breaks for eating rather than eating while serving. I will return because I loved the atmosphere and the menu, but hope the staff pulls it together to elevate the restaurant to the level comparable to their menu.

First off, service was dialed in: attentive without hovering, genuinely warm, and paced just right for a relaxed evening. Cocktails ("bespoke") can sometimes feel like an afterthought at places like this, but not here. The La Dulce Vida was excellent--balanced, not overly sweet, and actually worth ordering again (rare). We split the baby beet salad and honestly could've eaten two. Bright, fresh, and one of those dishes that makes you rethink how good something simple can be. Mains: duck à l'orange and steak frites. Both delivered. The duck had that perfect mix of richness and citrus, and the steak was cooked spot-on--though fair warning, it's a serious portion. The frites skip the usual cone presentation, but they're crispy and plentiful, so no real complaints. All in around $200 with tip for two, which felt fair given the quality across the board. This is the kind of place that doesn't try too hard--and gets almost everything right. Would come back.
