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!

Double Cheeseburger (7.4 oz.) with Route 66 sauce and Curly Fries

Excellent cheese burger, good service and cozy atmosphere . My favorite place for halal cheese burgers.

Single Hamburger (3.7 oz.)

Not a fancy place but food was reasonably priced and the food was fresh. Would recommend

Onion rings

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.

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.

Everything was fresh and lovely! I also got a Tandoori Cheesesteak for home which is Pittsburgh!

I just can't get enough of this place. Best smash burgers in Lancaster County. Tikka masala chicken sandwich that's something you should have in your life and the price is here are just really hard to be. Very friendly and very consistent not to mention lap Valley ice cream milkshakes

Small Fries & Hamburger (if a shop can't get this right, we don't go back - this is our litmus test)

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!

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.

Meredith S.

Incredible is an understatement. Delicious food, wonderful and friendly service. Went in to eat for our first visit and a week later got take out. Try anything, you won't be disappointed!

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.

Nashville chicken fries and burber

Burber was pretty good, maybe a little overhyped. Maybe I shoulda got a double. The Nashville chicken fries, they give you a lot of food for the price and theyre really good. Slaw. Crispy fried chicken. Imagine. Quite good.

Fresh cut fries and Triple Cheeseburger (11.1 oz.)
Tyler U.

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 !

If you're looking specifically for smash burgers this is the place. Like many I was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint.

I've visited this place twice now and usually I'm not too inspired to write a review, but my visit…read morelast night really showed how much I enjoy the general vibe and especially the food of this place. When you enter this place its at ground level and immediately you recognize you need to take the stairs up. Once you usher yourself up it opens up to two areas where you wait to be seated. The place is an older vintage like gastropub where the front is one bar and some seating, but on the backside is more open seating with where the band and another bar are situated. This place isn't meant to be for large groups, but could possibly accommodate groups of 6. The main bar which also next to the kitchen is an older vintage style bar and whisky's is nothing special but once you sit down and hear the music you settle in nicely. Service has always been courteous and prompt and the menu looks like there are a good assortment of choices. The two times I've been here I've ordered the mussels which includes great sauce and spread with seasoned ground meet. Was so yummy! The second time I came I tried the CHICKEN FRICASSEE. Man was that great! It includes 4 pieces of bread, chicken and the mushroom sauce. So good! Both times I had some of their assortment of single scoop ice-cream which in this area, something about the milk from their amish cows is so creamy. All that said, this is one of my fav places to come enjoy a glass of wine and food. Oh and Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday's they have some instrumental band playing too.

You know those meals that are so darn delicious that days later your still thinking about it?…read more Well this was that meal!! OMG. In a recent visit to Lancaster I did some searching online for places to eat and followed the recommendations to the Horse Inn. Sooo happy we did!! The food was amazing. My husband says it was the best shrimp and grits he's ever had! My steak tips were equally as yummy. The sauce was out of this world good!! The fries!! Jesus what was that sorcery ?? YUMMMM. Hats off to the owners and chefs! Only bad thing is we don't live close by and we can't go back soon. But we will be back!! Special mention to our wonderful fun server, Luis, who made the experience even better for us! Give that guy a raise. THANK YOU!!

The space includes a full-service restaurant and bar, a retro arcade with more than 40 games, and a six-lane bowling alley. The menu has vegan and gluten-free options. One of their bartenders won first place at the VeloCity cocktail competition. There's also an ice cream bar on site with its own hours. The arcade has skeeball, an original 1990s X-Men cabinet, House of the Dead, Rampage, and other classic games. Bowling lanes are separate from the arcade area. They also host private events. Parking is available next door at the North Queen Street Garage. Worth checking their hours before heading over since they're closed Monday and Tuesday. Good spot for dinner, drinks, arcade games, and bowling in one place.

What a fun spot for drinks, food, and games!…read more It was incredibly hot outside when we visited, so walking into a place with strong, ice-cold A/C was a huge bonus. Definitely appreciated that! The drinks were well-made, and there was a great selection of games to choose from. Getting coins is easy too--you can purchase them directly from the bartender The service was excellent throughout our visit. The staff was attentive, professional, and friendly, and I also enjoyed their creative and fun drink menu This is definitely a place worth checking out. Beyond the arcade games, they also have N64 games and bowling, making it a great destination for a night out with friends or a fun outing with family!

Not being a fan of Irish food in general I was skeptical going to Annie Bailey's but was happy to have my suspicions be completely misconceived! First tip, get here early.
