Their burgers remind me of in N out meets shake shack! Patty quality is top notch, slightly thin similar to Shack burger. The style of the burger however feels fresh like In N Out! I usually order a single patty burger but given the patties are thin, I recommend a double patty instead. Got a side of curly fries and they were really fresh too. Overall definitely one of the freshest tasting yummy burger I've had in the DMV area! I'd recommend!! (They are currently under renovation and we had to order from a food truck, so no comment on the service and ambiance). read more

I don't think anything compares to in-n-out when you're from the West Coast, but this def comes to a close second. The taste of the beef is super fresh. Unfortunately we came when they were doing some renovations and we had to order from the food stand parked on the sidewalk. So atmosphere was ehhh. The servers didn't really have a lot of customer service, they didn't smile at all or greet which that could always be polished a bit, but the food was decent. Fries could be a bit more crispier for me but other than that great place to come eat! read more

Who doesn't love fried cheesy foods? I'm not sure, but I know I do. The cheesesteak was tasty, but there was more bread than meaty cheesesteak. The onion rings were perfect! Refill your soft drink as many times as you can if you can find a seat inside. We pulled two tables together to seat our party of three. read more

Very good! Will go back! We had the chicken tandoori cheesesteak and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with a side of home fries. Both had excellent taste and seasoning, although the Nashville hot wasn't overly hot, it had a nice sweetness to it that helped make it quite delicious. read more

First timer last week and this is what local Lancaster eats needs to be. No hipster amenities, no pretenses, this is just a local shop that is obviously a big hit with those that know the owner and their desire to serve good food and surprisingly low prices. I saw one old review online that called place a great hipster establishment with great smash burgers... I'm hoping someday we just go back to plain English, without all the marketing garbage designed to bring in certain age groups. How about a place that's local, quaint, friendly, affordable that serves fantastic food. I read up about the tandoori chicken from past reviews - looks like we were too late that day, so I switched up to the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with Onion rings. My wife - Hamburger and fries. (This is where we reduce what, 1-2 stars cause they didn't have what I really wanted? toughen up buttercup, life happens... This isn't Outback. Here's our complete and total foodie review - with all the buzz words. Freaking awesome food. That's it... the entire review. I'm not gonna go over their slaw and the mix of pickle to mustard aioli, nor are we gonna talk about the breading on the chicken that its 1/32" of an inch too much... (reduce 2 more stars here for some). This is a local shop, run by friendly folks and while we were there, they were balancing about 19 takeout orders along with the continual walk in traffic... Popular indeed. So - bottom line - Give Route66 a try... but please, just leave an honest review, nobody cares about the mouth feel of the quad burger against the backdrop of a diet coke... Unless of course you're a foodie, an influencer and expect people to follow your lead. Don't count us in - we're free thinkers, God and Country loving Americans and its local shops like this that give us hope that the American dream is still alive and kicking! 5 stars Great food Would recommend We'll be back for sure to try more on the menu! read more

Route 66 - Nashville chicken fries and burber - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

This place has become one of my absolute all time favorite eats in all of Lancaster city, and all of PA for that matter. This was our second visit and after another successful and delicious visit, I had to pay my dues and give them the credit they deserve. Was able to snag some indoor seating with the wife for lunch after an appointment. The Tandori Chicken Cheesesteak is absolutely incredible, great taste and spice. The Cheese Curds were also very good, enjoyed them with the complimentary Marinara Sauce. My wife also enjoyed the El Dorado Chicken Cheesesteak and the phenomenal onion rings (thick, large, and crispy). This place has yet to fail me and probably never will. Incredible food, reasonably priced, and I'll definitely look forward to coming back for more. read more

Absolutely love this place! Been here a handful of times and they've been amazing in food service and quality every time. Had family visit from overseas and they wanted a great smash burger and hit chicken place that's halal and this place nailed it. Love the Happy Days kind of setting, the old school diner vibe. Be careful though it's easy to drive by this place. Parking is easy which is helpful read more

Go for the food. Not the ambiance. Service was quick and the food was great. Got the cheesesteak and my son got a double cheeseburger. read more

Small place that has some outstanding food ! Very friendly service! First time checking this place out. Stopped in after the fly fishing expo so needed a good spot to eat. Only a few tables inside to get there early ! Grab a table , order at the counter and they will call your order number when they have your order ready. I ordered the triple smash burger with a side of fresh cut fries. Fresh beef patties , smashed. I had mine with LTO and Pickles and their Route 66 sauce. Also got a vanilla milkshake to enjoy! Awesome food with a reasonable price. Worth a trip if you're in the Lancaster area. Definitely will be back to try other menu items. If you haven't been here , you're missing out on a damn good time ! read more

This little hole in the wall is a surprise and a must try spot in Lancaster Pennsylvania. Honestly, anything you order will be made to order and will definitely taste great. True smash burgers, fresh breaded chicken strips (gotta get the Nashville hot). Fresh cut fries were perfection which surprised me quite well. This cute corner joint maybe small but it will punch your tastebuds. Don't miss out on Route 66 when in Lancaster. read more

What is the definition of a gem and consistent? I'll wait.. ok forget it, I'm an impatient type of fella when it comes to this Uh-MAZE-ing location. *Consistent ~Unchanging in nature, standard, or effect over time. (I'll explain why I'm asking you in a few minutes.) *Gem ~ something prized especially for great beauty or perfection. (This is second meaning of a gem from the Oxford dictionary.) The reason why I asked you fine folks of the Yelp world this, is because this is what you'll find once you've visited Route 66 out here in Lancaster. A gem in the rough that has that consistency from your first bite, down to your last. What other place can say this? I've made the trips thinking there is no way my first time could have the same result. I made that drive people, from Philly all the way out here to Lancaster to see if maybe this was a fluke. Negative fam, these guys are on point. I went as far as to try their Tandoori style fried chicken taco's and their Nashville fried chicken sandwich. Blown away, simply amazing. I wish I could give these guys more stars than just 5. They greet you the minute you walk in , even when they are jammed up with customers, the owner is super friendly. Who would of thought that a small corner spot like RT 66 has that big of an impact in this community. Again Lancaster of all places! Just go in there, order your burger how you want, wash it down with a homemade milkshake, and you'll see. With kind regards, ~Nando **Side note~ These guys are Halal, which means there is no pork products, in turn there is no bacon. I never thought this is the one spot where I could care less if there was no bacon, because it is that good without it. read more

Not a bad burger but probably no need to go out of the way in my opinion to visit. We ordered the cheese burgers along with curly fries and a cheesesteak. My mistake with ordering the cheesesteak at a burger joint since the cheese was not a melty cheese whiz but rather a few thin slices of American cheese that did no justice to the roll. The best part of the meal was the mozarella sticks because of how massive and melty they were. Coming from NY, I think I'm a little biased with a good burger but seeing the options in the area, it's probably a good stop for others. read more

Great food at excellent prices! The menu isn't huge and they appear to use iceberg lettuce, but at the price they charge the quality is very high. read more

Located on a corner on a random street in Lancaster, this is a place not to pass up on. It's delicious, quiet and clean inside. The interior decor is very vintage vibes :) Immediately when you come in you are acknowledged and there's a menu right on the counter. We ordered a single and double cheeseburger with French fries. We sat down and got our food within 10 minutes (maybe less). I think it's a father and son running it, they were very efficient. The food was delicious I prefer here over a place like Shake Shack. It's like the classic smash burger and is super flavorful. Overall, I give it a 5/5. My boyfriend came with me and was like "I am debating on ordering a second burger just to take home" because it was that good. Will be returning, so glad we stopped by to try this place! read more

Yum! So good! The chicken sandwiches were tender and crispy in the right places. Tandoori tang was tasty. Balanced slaw. Burger was delish- tasted 5 guys ish but more assembled presentation. Classic well executed homemade fries. I appreciated that they had malt vinegar available.I didn't taste the onion rings but those who did in my party liked them. The whole place was small and had a nice vibe. I noticed the price programmed into the register that we were charged for a small ice cream we took to go was higher than what was listed on the menu. Maybe not updated there? Anyway, in from out of town and would for sure stop here again next time we're coming through. read more

Yet another gem in Lancaster. I saw on the local newspaper that they had the best burgers. Lancaster has some good burgers so I got curious... I think they have the best classic diner level burgers. It's just three perfect balance of a smashed patty to everything else. This would not qualify as a fancy burger but dang... They do it right. Just a classic, honest burger. They also have cheese steaks and other classics which I had to try. The cheese steak is above average in my opinion. Not Johns roast pork level (iykyk) but most definitely better than places like pats and Geno's. I'm curious to try some other things. They have things like tandoori and falafel burgers which looks really good. The seating is first come first serve and if you come in a busy time, it'll be hard you get a seat so just know it can get busy. Parking I felt like can be hard if you're not good at street parking so again, keep that in mind. This place is ; for sure go try read more

Hot Nashville chicken just delicious! Curly fries yummy! Definitely will be back if I am in the area!

Rare find for halal fast food! Burgers are delicious, the Nashville fried chicken is spicy (just like we love it), and the loaded fries are quite a treat. Would not recommend the cheesesteak since it's rather dry (would suggest more cheese) but everything else has always been good and you can tell how popular the place is from the rush of takeout orders. As others have said, the place is rather small, with classic vibes and lots of Route 66 memorabilia, but there are a few tables for dine in too. Haven't tried the milkshakes yet, but looking forward to checking those out in warmer weather. read more

Super busy, but worth the wait hands down, would give it 10 stars if allowed! Clean, food taste amazing, and always made to order

Route 66 has one of the best, if not the best chicken sandwiches in all of Lancaster. Every meal I have had from here has been memorably delicious. Their Coleslaw, burgers, cheesesteaks, all of it seasoned very well. Their prices are fair, the bread and rolls are fresh and the food is served hot. Their milkshakes are also very, very good, and better than most places in town, fast food and otherwise. I also really like the happy surprise of some eastern & middle eastern offerings on the menu alongside Nashville hot chicken. I give this place a 9.5 out of 10. It would be a 10 but the place could use some tidying up. The walls and floors need a thorough cleaning. I get there might be youth coming in or it gets pretty busy, but in that area they could do better. The stars are a testament to the goodness of the food. Otherwise it's one of the must stop places if you're visiting Lancaster, and a fan favorite for locals. read more

Ordered 2 burgers, 2 cheese steak sandwiches, 1 order of curly fries and 1 order of cheese curds. It took an HOUR and 2 minutes to receive our order. The fries must have been made first and then sat there the entire hour, cold and mushy. Cheese curds were cold as well. Burgers were decent, nothing to rave about, cheese steaks were pretty good. Overall, definitely not worth an hour wait. read more

very good food me and my girl drive 40 mins for their food customer service is nothing crazy they're very neutral but are not rude and don't make you feel like robots i'd recommend their tikka masala sub and their chicken tandoori cheesesteak onion rings and mozzarella sticks are also really good they're fries are nothing special but definitely not a bad option if you wanna go with the basic option read more

There's no question that this place is popular. We arrived at about 6:30pm on a Saturday nigh (about 30 minutes before they closed) and there was a huge line with every seat in the joint taken. I can understand why because the burgers were really tasty, with all the fixings available (tomato, pickles, Route 66 sauce, onions, lettuce, cheese). It reminded me of In n Out from the West Coast. We ordered the family pack (6 cheeseburgers for $18) and it was just the right amount for me and my 2 kids (maybe even a tiny bit too much). My one knock for this place is that the bathroom was pretty dirty - the soap bottle was empty and broken and the floor was wet. I'd personally prefer to order takeout next time instead of eating at the restaurant. read more
