A nice place with a homey lodge vibe. The place was absolutely packed when we arrived but they still got us seated relatively quickly and worked with us with a surprise extra seat. Unfortunately the food itself was a little uninspired; I got scrambled eggs, hash browns, corned beef hash, and an English muffin, and everything just tasted a little off, like maybe not enough salt or not enough butter, not really sure what it was. It wasn't bad, just didn't wow me either. Still it was a great time and served as a great meetup place. If family wanted to come back I wouldn't mind, but I probably wouldn't suggest it. read more

The food here is very tasty and they have broasted chicken! Service is good and the atmosphere is very old school with tables and chairs and booths. Today I ordered the chicken however I had the eggs Benedict before and that's also delicious. read more

I had breakfast at Todd's for the first time today. I was quickly seated by a warm, friendly wait staff who also took my drink order. After ordering my meal of Country Fried Steak topped with homemade sausage gravy, Two Eggs, potatoes , and rye toast it was served hot from the kitchen and delicious. The restaurant has the feel of a busy diner. There were not many empty tables. I recommend Todd's for a great meal and plan to return. read more

Nice spot to stop in for breakfast. My biscuits and gravy were amazing and they did not skimp out on the gravy. My husband enjoyed his omelette and the service was great for how busy they were. Recommend checking it out! read more

Yes, Todd's Mountain View Restaurant doesn't actually have a mountain view (if you peer around the buildings and trees in front of it, you can see where they probably had a nice view decades ago when the restaurant first opened), however the food more than makes up for it. My family of 4 went around 1 p.m., and it was plenty busy, but we did not have to wait for a table. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and instructed to sit where we wanted. Our server came to the table quickly after we sat down. We ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich with a side of baked potato, kids' french toast with a side of bacon, eggs with home fries and sausage patties, and the skillet breakfast. Oh. My. Goodness. The food was amazing! The pork tenderloin sandwich was among the best I've ever had (I try them everywhere), the skillet breakfast was seasoned deliciously, the home fries were crispy, and even the kids' French toast was so good. We live about 45 minutes away in Columbus, but we're already talking about when we can make it back to visit this restaurant again. It's mostly classic diner food, but the depth of flavor they've managed to achieve is notable. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area. You can make a day of it by visiting the nearby Rising Park and climbing the trail to the top of Mt Pleasant for gorgeous views, if you're still craving that mountain view experience read more

The food was pretty good but my husband's home fries were a bit burned. The waitress was okay. We expected it to be a little better than it was due to the ratings but perhaps we came on an "off day" read more

Highly recommend Todd's Mountain View Restaurant! We stopped in this morning for an early Christmas brunch with family friends. We all had the best time and all enjoyed our food as well! The restaurant stayed consistently busy and the service was exceptional! The servers were constantly looking for cups to refill as well as plates to remove from the tables. Review of food: - Omelettes: The majority of us ordered various omelettes. I ordered the veggie omelette and absolutely loved it! The omelette was fluffy and the vegetables tasted fresh! - Home Fries: Freshly sliced potatoes and super yum! Add onions for extra flavor! - Biscuits & Gravy: The biscuits were soft and flaky and the gravy was savory and tasty! - Strawberry Stuffed French Toast - I had one bite, but it was delicious! We will definitely be back! One recommendation: Add flavored coffee creamer please! read more

Heavenly. My dad brought me a Philly steak sandwich home and some of their fries after he went. I didn't get to go so I don't know about the service or ambiance like yelp is wanting me to tell you about, but I'd recommend the Philly steak sandwich. I was so occupied with fries (which were kinda mid but still pretty good) that I was only able to eat almost half of the sandwich. I didn't have it with onions because I don't like onions, but I bet it's good with onions for people who like/can have onions. There was a piece left that I gave to my dad, he said it was amazing. Please get the Philly steak sandwich. And make a review about the Philly steak sandwich. Make everyone know about the Philly steak sandwich. read more

Very good Mom and Pop's style restaurant. Our server was very good and accommodating. It is very rare that I can find breakfast with non pork meat options. Todd's made me Eggs Benedict with gyro meat and it was absolutely delicious. This should absolutely be added to the menu. read more

It was slow service to start but totally worth it. We loved the gravy over the biscuits. It has great flavor with hints of herb. The servers were working hard and we could only count two throughout the entire place. They bus their own tables and all so please show patience. When I'm back in town, I'll be keeping this place in mind. Note: Looking for a morning alcoholic beverage? They aren't here, but the coffee is good! read more

A very busy out of the way, old school, local, restaurant. Large parking lot all the way around. Very active but we had no trouble finding a place to park. The inside is just basic restaurant. It may not have changed significantly in decades. However, the many tables and booths were adequately spaced so even constantly full and customers and staff do their things it wasn't overly noisy and was comfortable, non-rushed and cordial. We went to the hostess/cashier station and she allowed us to choose an empty "clean" table. They were few and far between and filled up almost instantly. Our pleasant, efficient, server came promptly. This extensive, 2 sided menu has something for anyone, any meal, any time! Our food came promptly. Our portions, and everyone around us potions, went from large to huge. Temperatures were good. My friend had one of the daily specials from an order board on the wall ( in addition to the menus). Catfish. It was a substantial rectangular piece of breaded fish. He said it was good, but, not distinctive as catfish.... His choice of sides were the 2 you pay extra for, breaded mushrooms which he said were great, and breaded cheese sticks which he said were a bit hard. He cleaned his plate though. I had the liver and onions, home fries, celery dressing with brown gravy. I should have had gravy (which was good) over it all. 3 thin, but large slices of liver. I didn't finish everything.. the meal also came with dinner rolls neither of us touched. And we didn't even consider the desserts including a selection of pies on the menu board... My friend immediately started complaining about being uncomfortably full. I was close... The 2 of us ate for just over $30. It was a 20 mile excursion for us to come try it and we both said we'd do it again. read more

This place it is a hometown favorite and has been for years! It's called Todd's Mountain View for a reason, it's because there is a view of Mount Pleasant in the winter when all the trees along the river that weren't there 20 years ago have no leaves on them. Other times the mountain can be difficult to see. On the inside, however is a different story. The food is always delicious, the weight staff is very good at their jobs & always smiling, I'm 64 years old have been going to this restaurant since I was probably 10 and I've not had one complaint in all those years. No restaurant will ever be 100% perfect, but this place in spite of a few negative reviews is top-notch and I would recommend Todds to everyone wanting a taste of a real Mom and Pop restaurant, the kind of restaurants that are slowly dying away because of the chain restaurants, then if you're driving through Lancaster, or are new to the area, go to Todd's, they will take good care of you. read more

Not to bad a place closes to early price jump up like every other place but there fried chicken is way over priced for no more than what it is but Breakfast is still pretty good read more

I think we have found our new favorite place to grab breakfast. My kids both loved their food (chocolate chip pancakes and French toast). My husband got the captain crunch French toast and we all tried it, and it was the best French toast ever! I had a BLT with an egg on it, and it was also delightful. The service was friendly and fast, and the waitress was very welcoming! read more

Place was packed which was promising that the food would be food. Was told by the hostess to pick one of two open tables. Sat down and was immediately told by a server/manager we had get up because there was a waiting list so we left. Couldn't tell you if the food was good. Also not sure why it's called "mountain view restaurant" not a mountain in site. Shrug read more

Decided to try something off the normal path. The food was good, although the fish a was a frozen patty. The coleslaw was one of the best I have ever had. Drinks never went empty. Not sure where the "Mountain View" comes in. Bathrooms were surprisingly updated and clean. Would visit here again. read more

Small town privately owned diner with excellent food and service! It was a very busy day for them but it was worth the wait!

Very good food and quick service even during rush hour. I will definitely return here again

Well, I finally tried their " broasted " chicken ( country chicken dinner. Got the three piece special with two sides , mashed potatoes and gravy and peas. DELICIOUS!!! Big pieces of chicken with a marvelous crunchy coating and moist meat within. Literally " finger licking" good. The potatoes where NOT whipped but honest to goodness mashed , topped with a flavorful chicken gravy. Even the peas were well cooked, done but not mushy. Topped it off with a shared piece of Coconut Cream pie. Now on to try other delights there! ( Did I see Johnny Marzetti on the menu board???) Even with limited seating ( due to COVID-19 ) it's still a special place. Finally got to try their a roasted Chicken and it definitely lived up to its reputation!! Sooo yummmy! read more
