Tasted good until I took a bite out of a plastic shard inside of my pasta dish. The waitstaff was pretty good and the food came in a timely manner. Portions are much bigger than NYC portions so if your eyes are bigger than your stomach (like me) I would order one dish per person instead of an extra dish to share! The place definitely looks like a diner and has common things you would find at your local diner. Pricing is very affordable if you are going for a quick bite after a hike. I would have rated this 4/5 if I hadn't found that plastic shard in my food. At first I thought it was a stem of a sundried tomato and I kept chewing it like no big deal but it pricked my tongue hard and so I took it out and found that it wasn't a dried stem... I'm guessing it was from a plastic thing that shattered somewhere in the kitchen. I was a bit concerned that I could have easily ingested that. read more

Stopped by this place for breakfast and was impressed by the quality of the food. Although, there was a 30-minute waiting time, it was reasonable given the quality of the food and the fact that it's the only diner nearby. I didn't take photos but the food was delicious. I ordered the classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, home fries, and toast. My favorite was their home fries, they were cooked to perfection! If you're in the area, it's definitely worth the wait for a tasty breakfast. read more

Popped out to this joint on a Monday morning with the CREW. I chose to get the breakfast burrito being my first time here I saw it as a safe choice with it also being listed as one of their favorites. I ATE EVERYTHING. I enjoyed this meal and it hit the "spot". If you're in the area it's a place to consider as I would not travel out of the way to indulge at this destination. Additionally, the service was excellent with sweetest and most attentive waitress. ( Note I'm not a big breakfast person and I rarely give 5) read more

I called and said they didn't give an item in my order, come to find out when she called me back to explain the misunderstanding it was honestly my mistake but they still delivered another omelette! A+++ customer service read more

I love this location first of all. Such easy parking and cute views of Beacon. The service was absolutely amazing! Our waitress was so sweet. I was not really impressed by the food though. Just average diner food and I'm always excited to try French onion soups at diners but this one was ehh. I'd give it another chance, I'm sure the menu items are hit or miss. read more

With a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating, this diner located just off Main Street in Beacon has an expansive menu that will leave anyone's appetite satiated. We decided to get a table indoors, and the staff (everyone was wearing a mask thankfully!) allowed us to choose which table we wanted to sit at to avoid sitting too close to other diners. Each booth had plexiglass attached on top of the dividers as well which was a nice add-on. The menu has everything a diner usually has, with food options for everyone. I ordered the eggs with Virginia ham steak, which came with potatoes and toast. The ham steak was moist and delicious. This was a VERY filling meal and I struggled to finish (doesn't happen that often). The toast was perfect and came with a touch of butter. Would definitely come back when stopping in Beacon again! read more

I LOVE eating here! Always kind waitresses and food comes out fairly quick. I haven't had something I don't like here, i try something different almost every time. I last tried their penne ala vodka and since it's a diner, i wasn't expecting it to be as phenomenal as it was! They care about you here and you can truly feel it. Seating is great, the booths are my favorite. The old school diner look as well makes this place pop. It's very cool :) highly recommend. read more

Cute diner in Beacon!! We ordered soup, fries, and the Alfredo pasta. The soups were good! The disco fries and pasta were not great, lacked flavor so we added some hot sauce. The service crew was nice and fast. Overall a cozy dinner with average food and good service to curb your hunger in Beacon! Would try their milkshakes and dessert next time! read more

Best homemade Cheesecake ever. Pricey for a slice but so worth it! Best milkshakes too.

Always a solid place to eat, food is good, friendly atmosphere, and parking is usually open. Been going here for years and it doesn't change, sometimes no change is good. read more

I love a good diner and this really hit the spot. We were seated at the counter right when we walked in which is always a plus. Service was friendly and fast. I ordered a burger and my boyfriend got the chocolate chip pancakes. We both enjoyed our meals and would definitely come back for a quick, filling, delicious bite. read more

If I could give the Yankee Clipper more than 5 stars for this review I would. Let me explain. I placed on online to-go order for two pulled pork sandwiches, one with fries and one with onion rings. We love their pulled pork sandwiches! I arrived pretty quickly after placing the order but still only waited a few minutes. They were very busy with people picking up to go orders. I should have checked my order before leaving but I didn't, thats my bad. When I got home we opened our orders and found a BLT and a veggie burger. We obviously realized we had someone else's order so we called them and they said they were trying to find our number to call us but since I had placed the order online they didn't have my number. I told them I would drive back and pick up our correct order but they said no, they wanted to deliver our order to our house. Within a few minutes a car pulled up, it was a gentleman who I believe is the owner or manager and he handed me our correct order. I tried to give him a tip for driving out so quickly but he wouldn't take it. I walked back inside and realized we now had dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow (the BLT and veggie burger) and when I opened the bad with our correct food they had also added some free desserts! I understand that mistakes happen, and this mistake caused us nothing more than a minor inconvenience, but when a business goes above and beyond to make things right, that is a business that has won me as a customer for life and a business that I will tell everyone else about as well. Thank you Yankee Clipper for the great food and the excellent service! read more

I'm writing this review as I wait for my check. First time here. Listen, if you want to be a MAN, come to this place and order the chicken and waffles. It's more food than you can eat, you little runt. And if you're really feeling your oats, stand up on your booth and yell, "I'm mr chicken and waffles! Who challenges my throne?!" Good times. Good times. Bit, seriously, who wants to challenge my throne? read more

The food and service does not disappoint! Excellent. Hubby had the Breakfast Quesadilla and I had the French Toast Deluxe. Affordable and delicious! No photo of Quesadilla because my hubby started eating too fast. read more

OMG! The diner is not too big, but it has the charm of the diners seen in movies! Their food is just perfect - went there for a lunch - got seated right away, ordered roasted chicken and chicken souvlaki platter - warning: the size of the plates is not big, it's HUGE - make sure you are hungry before getting here. Definitely will return whenever we are in the area! read more

Love the service and love the food miss my rio grande rolls but overall amazing food and great people there

If you are anywhere near Beacon, New York, plan to stop to the Yankee clipper. The portions are large. The menu is comfort food. And the ambience is welcoming, and so nostalgic of diner days in the past. read more

In town for Hudson Valley Brewing and after getting our wrist bands for the can release later in the day, we needed food in our bellies after our long drive north. We were told about this diner by another individual at the brewery and luckily we located it and got seated right away. I ordered the Copenhagen Benedict which is basically eggs Benedict but has corn beef hash thrown under the eggs. It was very tasty and the portion was worth the money. My husband got the clipper breakfast wrap, also a decent size. They French toast and pancakes going out looked awesome and large portions! Worth a stop! read more

We had breakfast and it was delicious! Great coffee. Service was not good, but the other waitresses seemed good. Cute Diner ambiance.

Ordered a Cajun Pasta to go it was delicious the butterfly shrimp cooked perfectly loved it will definitely come back next time.

Took my good buddy there today, for breakfast. He had an omelette and I had scrambled eggs. All good and as expected. Service was excellent as usual. Yankee Clipper is in a great location and plenty of parking in their lot. The ambiance is old school, clean and cozy. Though every table was occupied, service was prompt and spot on. I loved that there was a person walking around filling coffee and more the 2x. Keep up the good job; you're a role model on how an establishment stays in business. read more

Always great service and great food. It's my go to place. The employees there are so nice.

One of the best diners I've been to. I got the yankee clipper omelette which comes with bacon, ham and sausage in it... delicious. Great potion sizes as well. read more

While on our way home earlier this morning, my boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat. The Yankee Clipper Diner is one of the few places in the heart of Main St in Beacon that's open before 10am for brunch, so we decided to check it out. One aspect I love about the aesthetic of this diner is it's old school exterior. Upon walking in, we were greeted and seated immediately. For breakfast, I decided on the chocolate chip banana pancakes with eggs and bacon and my boyfriend got an omelette with hash browns. The food is inexpensive and the portions are GINORMOUS! I was thoroughly impressed with my pancakes; light, fluffy, and buttery stuffed with fresh banana and chocolate chip, topped with fresh whipped butter. The eggs and bacon were about average; my over easy eggs were more like fried eggs and lacked yolk. I had a bite of my boyfriends omelette and found it to be very tasty; it was stuffed to the brim with extra meat and cheese. The hashbrowns were also nice and crispy, which I five major kudos to this diner for. I'd you're looking for a quick and cheap brunch on Main St, would high recommend this spot, especially for pancakes. read more

This is definitely an above average diner! I had the patty melt and it was very tasty and well done. The fries were really good too and the food didn't feel as greasy as other diners. The service was friendly and prompt. I came in here for my birthday when we were touring beacon and it was a nice bday lunch. read more

Was my first time in the area and looking for a place to grab some food. All of the restaurants along main street appeared to have great ratings on yelp so I decided on this diner since there was seating available. Ordered the chili cheeseburger which is essentially a burger topped with chili and cheddar cheese. Sounds like a great combination of course, but what I had was mediocre at best. Beef pattie wasn't seasoned at all. A little salt and pepper can go a long way for a burger! The chili on it was also lackluster and didn't have much flavor to it at all. Food was overall edible, but is what you expect of diner food. Mediocre grub that will fill you up, but won't leave you raving about it. Again, it wasn't horrible, but seasoning can go a long way to elevating the food. read more

Loved it here!!! Friendly service! Fast service ! Great food!! I got the pesto sandwich and it was amazing !! Long as you enjoy pesto haha My friends all got breakfast and everyone was very happy with their food!! read more

Yankee Clipper hasn't changed its appearance since I was there last, more than a few years ago. It has a small but efficiently laid out seating area with a lunch counter and is clean and well lit. Cutting to the chase - the service was excellent, the food was (gosh I hate using this word but here goes...) nasty. Ordering a tuna sandwich yielded the darkest, fishiest tuna I've ever eaten. Worse, it had three times the amount of tuna than there should have been. All I could think was why not use a quality tuna and use less? The tomatoes were unserveable. Making their unripe hardness worse was the fact that the slices were a quarter of an inch thick. The cream of tortellini soup was unnaturally thick, like it was loaded with food starch. A turkey sandwich ordered had the same indestructible tomato planks along with turkey that also was cut in chunks rather than slices. Caveman style. A cheese quesadilla and fries was just OK. Again, service was great but not so the food. We were surprised when we arrived and it wasn't busy at 12:30pm. After eating it made perfect sense. read more

The very first place we visited when considering moving to the HV. A classic American diner with old fashioned diner favorites. Worth the trip read more

The food, my wife's corned beef and my burger, were both very good. We went with my son and his family, making us a party of 7. They had no problem accommodating us at noon on a holiday! And we weren't the largest party! Very impressed by the comprehensive menu that is not full of IQF entrees. Everyone's food was freshly prepared and even the picky grandchildren ate it up. Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

Solid ny diner. Consistently good food. Clean place. Great service. Nineteen characters needed to finish

Excellent tuna melt, solid service, and the kind of custard-style diner bread pudding that's hard to find nowadays. Really like this place.

The staff and service are exceptional. Warm welcoming atmosphere with good food! Best diner in Dutchess County! Highly recommended!
