    House made into restaurant. Right on the Susquehanna River, open 0630-1500 (3pm), seven days a week. Sunday's are their busiest. Home cooked food, friendly service. If you sit at the "bar" you get to be part of the kitchen drama/action. These ladies are running crazy, keeping their customers happy & celebrating their 9 year business anniversary.

Even the cat is interested in having some, although he never gets any. The menu here has something for everyone. My husband is a huge fan of their double cheeseburger. The falafel platter is incredible and you should try it. If it could talk, I would leave my husband and elope with it. Yes, it's that good. Everything is always made fresh to order and the service is top-notch. Don't be fooled by the sparse appearance, the food will make you forget where you are anyway!

The prices look really reasonable so we figured we'd give it a shot. When we arrived, the storefront didn't look like anything special, nothing really appealing to bring someone in, just kind of blended in with the rest of the block... And after entering, it still didn't really reach out and grab us. Not a lot of decoration, a few tables with chairs and a couple of booths, and a counter to order from which is perfectly fine but I didn't know having never been there if they had a wait staff or anything. So we looked over the menu for a minute and ordered a couple of dishes. My wife I believe had a chicken and lamb platter, and I had the fish platter. So far up to this point everything was fine but nothing was really over the top awesome, and then we sat down and ate. Oh my gosh that food was good. My wife absolutely loves tzatziki sauce which of course they had, and the chicken and lamb was served with rice and you get choices like lettuce and tomato and hummus and chickpeas that they can add to your platter. My fish platter was incredible. Her and I both commented a couple times to the gentleman at the counter that the fish was cooked perfectly. It was nice and lite and flaky and I wish there were more than just the two pieces on there. The price of everything did not break the bank by any means, and they do offer wraps, burgers, and breakfast items. We will definitely be returning customers...

He had it John Wayne style, which means chili and cheese on top. It was quite large and excellent. I ordered their blueberry pancakes with a slice of ham. Also, very large and tasty. They make their own iced tea--no soda fountain tea here!! It was very dark and rich. My husband said that they also have very good coffee. One thing I noted was how quickly the food came after our order. We were not unique. I noticed many were also served quickly. Service is great. I don't usually like syrup on pancakes and when I asked, they gave me something else other than syrup. We talked with some of our friends who come to Becky's almost daily and they said that the diner starts their order as soon as they sit down (because it doesn't change very often), and it comes out within a few minutes of sitting down. There are lots of booths along the walls and tables in the center. Vinyl tablecloths are used. Very practical. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice in the summer and fall. They are open for breakfast and lunch. The owner keeps a food pantry outside the door. I think this is one of the best breakfast places around. 5 stars as it is everything you'd expect in a breakfast/lunch diner plus great service and friendly atmosphere.

    The food was excellent, the service was fast and friendly, and it had a great atmosphere.read more

The whole brunch was quite a heart warming experience. Salt of the earth people who were so very friendly and instantly love-able. Seven tables in the quaint little restaurant and two outside. All but one large table of 6 were taken. A local couple offered to have us share their table. It was such a sweet gesture. As it turned out a smaller table did open up and was quickly cleared. We sat there. The menu had breakfast and lunch options. Prices were like from the 70's. We opted for basic eggs, toast homefries, sausage and coffee. All was quickly served and coffee refilled. Jen (the owner) was present and as sweet as could be. She seemed to enjoy getting to know her customers. Other patrons were engaging and friendly as well. We were blown away how friendly everyone was. It certainly added to the charm of this little place and made our travels memorable. Not sure the people realize just how special they made us feel. This is truly a hidden gem.
