Ordered ahead via their online website. Got a text about 10 mins later saying my food was ready. Got there and the place was packed , so that already let me know the food was gonna be bomb. Came for the chicken Tikka cheesesteak I've been hearing about and it's just as good as I thought it would be . Added some jalapeño for some extra heat and it went perfectly together. Definitely will be back for this! read more

Route 66 - Small Chicken tikka cheesesteak. I Added jalapeño - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The burgers and fries were absolutely delicious!!! Kind of a greasy spoon but the vibe it cool.

The food was phenomenal! I got a tandoori Cheesesteak and it was full of flavor. Small place, so not suted for a large group. 4 stars due to the cleanliness of the dining area. Baseboards were pretty dirty, but did not stop me from enjoying the food. Food is prepared by the counter, so you are able to see everything. read more

Very local, fresh, delicious and not expensive at all! Simple place but with good food:)

My husband randomly found this place online to try while we were out in Lancaster. We came here for lunch and everything we got was amazing. We had the cheeseburgers, fried chicken sandwich and curly fries. The cheeseburgers were just perfect and the "smash burger" type style. I also loved the fried chicken sandwich, I feel that some people might not like that it a thin piece of chicken but it was perfect for me because I get grossed out by overly thick chicken. All of the food was great and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is super tiny to the point where I was worried they wouldn't have high chairs but luckily they did. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but trust me, it's worth it. Truly a hidden gem. I usually to try new places but I definitely want to come here again next time I am out in Lancaster. 5 stars. read more

Burgers, fries and onion rings were excellent. Definitely lives up to the hype! If going at busy time, I'd suggest using online takeout as dining area is small. And, I wouldn't call in as they are busy! But, definitely try it! We will be going back. read more

Route 66 - Single cheeseburger and onion ring. Onion rings are excellent but you won't be overwhelmed with a bunch but still so good. - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Hidden gem. Smash burgers are amazing! Has the crispy edges, not greasy, and their house sauce is so good!!!! Always a hit with the family.

I wish I could add another star. This place is a GEM!!! The fried chicken tikka masala sandwich is out of this world. The indian spices with a perfectly crunchy chicken sandwich is a beautiful combination. The cheeseburger is phenomenal as well. We ordered at 1:25PM and got the food at 2:00PM, but it was beyond worth the wait. I'd suggest calling ahead. read more

Once voted the best burger in PA on this app, and I'd have to agree. Their classic cheese burger is delicious, affordable, and correctly portioned. Their service is prompt and professional, and the place has a great old-school American Route 66 theme that matches their food. If you're in the area, maybe for a Lancaster Stormers game, make the trip to Rt. 66. If you're NOT in the area, but love burgers, make the trip to Rt. 66! read more

This is like a funky little fusion burger joint. Go in open minded and try something different - if you want - or just go in for a basic burger. The burgers and cheeseburgers come as singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples. They even have plant based burgers and falafel burgers. They have beef cheese steaks and chicken cheese steaks. The Tandori chicken cheese steak is ahhhhhhmazing. Not too spicy but mega flavorful. They have Nashville hot chicken sandwiches - also very good and plenty spicy. Add salad, taco, and hotdog options and you can find something for just about everyone. Fries are also good. Prices are decent. Service is good. Food takes a while but they make it after you order it. We were there during a soccer tournament and time was tight but we made it with time to spare so it's not too bad. The place isn't big and parking is a pain, but it's worth the trip. read more

GREAT burgers... Fries need some work. Overall, a very happy repeat customer. Open a bigger joint!!!

Hidden Gem but it's not hidden no more just a pure Gem! Always extremely busy so be patient it's well worth the wait trust me on this one!

The food was amazing! Smokin hot from being right off of the stove. And we got it super quick. Parking was a little tricky but nothing that was too complicated. read more

Best fried chicken sandwich in the area! We will keep trying other things as well. Really decent prices.

Food is great ,place is nice and clean people friendly, the burgers are to die for so good and taste, I recommended. read more

Route 66 - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

This establishment has existed for several years now and when you drive by it doesn't look like much of anything. However this place is wildly popular, does a lot of business and for good reason. While many people flock here for their smash burgers there's another set of people who come for their hot chicken sandwich, which includes me. Honestly, I have never even tried their burger however I can attest to how good the hot chicken sandwich is. The bun is never big enough to fit the entire cutlet and is just as spicy as I would like it to be. In my mind, it is nearly perfect and I can almost taste it even just thinking about it now. There are two other items on their menu that I also go there for: the tikka masala chicken cheesesteak and the tandoori chicken cheesesteak. The tandoori chicken cheesesteak is the spicier of the two but both of them are packed and gooey and delicious. It is hard to put any of these three sandwiches down once you start eating them. Due to this establishment's popularity you must be aware that they do get busy. It is probably best to place your order online and pick up however you can walk in and place an order but expect to wait some time because of how busy they get. In my opinion, the interior decor is nothing to write home about but it does have a classic Americana vibe going on. Also, because it's busy it can get loud in there too. There aren't many tables in this place because it's so small so you're lucky if you go there with the intent of dining in and find a table to eat at. All in all, this place has received rave reviews and they truly deserve the reviews that they get because they're putting out excellent product and it is always consistent. read more

Placed an order online for pickup, was ready when it said it would be. The burger was very bland and seasoned curly fries barely had any flavor. I ended up with food poisoning after eating the food. Would not recommend going here to anyone, there are plenty of other burger spots with more flavor and no food poisoning. read more

Burgers that take hours to get , not efficient at all . If you have 3 hours to kill come to this place......

Yummy!!! We've been here a few times and I even referenced this place in other reviews haha, but didn't realize I never actually left a reveiw on here. Disappointed in myself. I've only gotten the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (I think it's called sandwich, not sure ) . Came today with thee adults and 2 kids, we got 4 hot chicken sandwiches, one Nashville hot taco (comes with two), a deluxe cheesesteak and a side of large curly fries. The place is reasonably priced and I have to say, it really packs on the flavors. I can tolerate pretty spicy stuff and I would say this is perfect for a introduction to heat lol. It's not spicy ( to me) but it is extremely flavorful, wouldn't change a thing. I would say, the size of the chicken seems to have gotten smaller. Of the 4 sandwiches, one was the normal, very big size , and the others seemed to be smaller. But great none the less. The cheesesteak was not bad. I tried a bite of it. It was okay. I personally wouldn't get it again, because the taste of the chicken sandwich doesnt mix well with the cheesesteaknif having one after the othrr. Overall, I would highly recommend. Oh, I didn't say the best part, it's fully halal!!! read more

Service/decor: Not the cleanest establishment I have been in. The service was extremely slow. Ordered online and wait time was 35 minutes. Arrived right on time but then waited another 20 minutes before food was ready. Really almost an hour for some burgers and fries? Food: the fries were decent and the Route 66 sauce was good (it's basically a chipotle aoili). The burger meat itself however was terrible. Felt like I was eating a shoe half the time. Only reason it got 2 stars is the price. If you can afford it just go to wayback burger or five guys. read more

I swore after the first time I would never return. I was reminded why this second time. Someone suggested the "famous" chicken sandwich, so I figured, "Why not?" Ugh...WHY?! Not to echo my original review, but from start to finish this place just misses the mark for me. Ownership isn't very friendly when you walk-in, the place needs a deep cleaning (especially now during COVID), and the was food mediocre, again. Don't be fooled by the size of the chicken. Sure, it's the size of a boat, but portion size doesn't make up for lack of flavor. As you can see in one of my photos, the breading literally separates from the chicken. You can actually stuff your hand in between the two. Weird that it slides right off?? The chicken sandwich is advertised to be hot, but it's not. If you are going to serve a piece of chicken that size, at least add a proportional amount of condiments. I think I had two pickles and a tablespoon of slaw. The acid in the pickle should have cut through the spice of the chicken and the sweetness and texture was missing from the slaw. It just falls flat and tastes one dimensional. Like I mentioned the first time, it's time to invest in a better bun than Martin's Potato Rolls. Don't get me wrong, I love Martin's - for when I'm cooking at home! That itty bitty bun is not sturdy enough to handle the size of that chicken. It's soggy half way through and turns to mush by the end. Do yourself a favor and drive another .5 mile and go to Blazin' J's. Now that's a chicken sandwich to write home about! Side note - both times my daughter got sick after eating here. First time was a burger and this time was a cheesesteak. read more

We ventured into down town lancaster today to enjoy the day with family and we stopped in at the family owned gem on the corner of liberty and prince street, their burgers are so juicy and flavorful, the fresh cut fries were hot and crispy, and the milkshakes were creamy, and the service was amazing, the sweet lady at the order counter was so courteous and nice, you could see the well oiled machine they had with their kitchen as it is an open kitchen, and the gentleman that brought our order out was kind and courteous, not to mention it took only 10 minutes or so to get our order perfectly made as ordered and with piping hot food and creamy shakes, Route 66 is such a little gem, I highly recommend grabbing some delicious grub from them!!! read more

I would recommend this place to anyone that is in Lancaster or looking for a place to eat. This place has reasonable prices too. read more

Their Nashville chicken sandwich is amazing ! I think it's the best I ever tasted ... and the fried cheez curds ... amazing! Owners are super friendly... highly recommended read more

dry disappointed. Had double hamburger and french fries. Burger was lacking in taste, fries were seriously under cooked.

This is a GEM of a spot. I got the burger it was amazing! This is where hangovers go to die!!! you don't walk out talking about your diet goals, but who cares! Great smash burgers! Other people with me go the chicken sandwich, which also looked amazing. If you want a slamming burger in a low key place this corner spot is for you! I am excited to keep trying the rest of the menu, but got its hard not to get that burger!!!! and don't kid yourself, make it a double! you wont regret it, the single patty is probably great, but can only leave you wondering just how great two patties would be???? read more

Thin burger Patties stacked with fresh toppings. Hand cut fries. Building is in the city so you have to find street parking which was easy on a weekday afternoon. Close enough to walk to Barnstormers field if nearby for game. read more

If you have only one opportunity to grab a handcrafted double cheeseburger or Nashville hot chicken sammich in Lancaster, this is the only place to go!

Awesome burger. Owner makes the burgers right infront of you. Great service. Excellent atmosphere. I had some work left to do. I came back to the restaurant, sat a table and used their WiFi. WiFi is strong and I got my work done which was awesome. They don't charge for toppings on their burgers which is bliss. Prices are super affordable and great atmosphere. read more

Route 66 - Cheese Burger with mushroom (choose your own toppings) + small fries - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Had an excellent array of items from Route 66 last weekend. Although everything was good the standouts for me were the Chicken Tandoori cheese and the Hot Chicken over fries. The Hot Chicken and accompanying sauces are spicy so make sure you also grab a milkshake. So many more items on the menu I want to try! We also had a smash burger and curly fries. Can't wait to return! I only regret we didn't come in sooner. read more

QUALITY dude, these burgers are very good. Lanc is lucky to have this hidden gem. Burger is VERY good, chicken is quality as well. None of it is greasy which is DIESEL. I'm not a fan of the bun but that's personal preference read more

Went here for their delicious burgers and saw Nashville Hot Fried Chicken sandwich on their white board. Being huge (and always let down) Hattie B's fans, we tried it. If I can say this next line in a loud, jumping up and down tone: GO GET THIS SANDWICH!!!!! It is so perfectly flavored, the crunch is superb and the 'hot' is dang spicy! This place is so fantastic I'm writing the review while I sit here contemplating my need for a peanut butter milkshake. We will be back next week. Best Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich east of Nashville. None have even been good until here. Well done, Route 66, well done!!!!!!! read more

Route 66 - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

I have no idea what magical fairy dust they put in this food-- but it is soooooooooogood and has me in a trance. Get the cheeseburger with everything and Route 66 sauce-- have you too been chasing true love all the days of your life? One bite into that soft, buttery, pillowy bun and you'll have found it, I swear. And then there's the fries. Perfectly seasoned fried to perfection. And THEN-- then-- they wrap the burgers up like little gifts and present them in these long open boxes-- so cute I should have taken a picture (but I guess you have other images on here as evidence of what I mean). With Covid shut downs afoot, I am hoping the community continues to show this place love, as I think we'd all suffer a great loss if Route 66 would wind up a Covid casualty. So please-- go there. So the rest of us can keep going there too! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for the first time this weekend and both agreed we have to go back! My burger - a single with fried cheese, onion rings, and Route 66 sauce - was one of the best I've had in a while. My boyfriend had a quad burger with fried cheese and bacon, we each got a milkshake, and we split some fries. Ordering was easy, our food and shakes were ready within about 10 minutes, and at 2:30 in the afternoon we had our choice of almost any table (the place is small - there were 2 or 3 tables for 2, and 3 tables for 4 - but I noticed the maximum per the fire department is 50 people). I've got my eye on the Nashville hot chicken for next time! read more

Had a double smashed burger, the chicken fingers & fries and a side of onion rings. The burger had so much flavor, the fries and rings were great but didn't dig the chicken fingers too much. Staff super chill and friendly. read more

Super cute, affordable, local restaurant! This is my second time stopping in so far and the food is still excellent, staff is very kind, and the inside is comfortable. I wish they were open later, but it makes for an excellent lunch spot. I will be coming here often, and I highly recommend! read more
