Always good food they cater to locals (40/50 year residents) and that's fine usually go every Friday night it has been crowded and I do believe I've ordered everything on the menu. Recommend take out pretty solid diner food! read more

Good if you are starving Ir if you have an enormous body to maintain; After driving by here several times I finally understood why people come here: the locals like it cause it's fast, cheap and has huge portions. It's not bad, but it's not great.Their salads are fine and some egg dishes too. This area has a big problem with weight control and diabetes and when you see the people consuming here you see why; huge portions of fatty, salty high carb food. There are some healthy options but the majority of the customers are Impressed with eating massive amounts of this diner food. It wouldn't hurt if they limited or reduced the portions. I guess that enriches the local doctors read more

Classic Greek diner with a dozen page menu, just what we needed after a hike up Mount Beacon! Great diner food and reasonable prices, with fast service. What else would you want from a diner. Lot's of parking in back too. read more

This is the best place for breakfast in beacon. Staff is super friendly, environment is very nice, soothing. You may need to wait 20 minutes on weekends, because it's a busy place ( certainly due to their quality of service and food). read more

it's a diner folks! and as such they hit the spot if you're looking for breakfast in beacon. they turn the tables quickly while serving solid food with a very friendly staff. read more

Yankee Clipper Diner - American Near Me - Beacon, New York

Food is so disappointing here. I ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap for dinner. It was dry and came with nothing inside but melted cheese. The fires were so soggy too. Breakfast is often greasy with old home fries. Will not be going again. read more

It is nearly the only place we checked out when my friends and I were visiting Beacon for a hike, so can't compare it to the other food places in the area. It's a pretty solid diner with affordable and delicious meals. Nothing fancy, just your favorite burger and fries. They have some interesting items on the menu too, but I kinda didn't risk it and was very satisfied with my patty melt. Side of fries was definitely a highlight for me, as they were really good read more

Great homestyle breakfast! It was crazy busy but it was Saturday morning. We were told it was a 15 min wait. We maybe waited about 5 mins tops. Once we sat the waiter touched down at the table within seconds. Welcomed us like family. Very professional and extremely attentive. We ordered and the food was out within minutes. Food was sooo good and the service was on point! read more

The service at this diner was great. We had Jared and he really took care of us! However, the reason why I'm giving it three stars is for a couple of reasons. Our food was just okay and the breakfast took forever to come out. We had French toasts and an omelette. My breakfast potatoes also came out ice cold and had no seasoning on them at all. Jared was great with the cold potatoes and had a hot batch come out to replace them. read more

This restaurant is obviously under rated! It is a hidden gem!!! The service is very good, the price is low compare to the food portion and quality, and the most important is the food is so good! I ordered Chipotle chicken avocado wrap, it is amazing!!!! I've tried burritos in most reviewed and high rated restaurants in Manhattan, none of them is better than this!!! My 5 year old son is extremely picky and he finish all his meal! Highly recommended and will definitely come back!!!! read more

Generous portions. Average prices. Average service. Horrible food. He ordered a bacon buffalo burger. He asked for medium. One side was well, other side was medium rare. How does that happen? How do you only cook one side of a patty? He didn't want the bacon. I insisted he still got it so I could have it. I took one bite out of it. Not worth the calories. How do you mess up bacon? It's bacon! Soft, crispy, or hard, I love bacon! The taste was gross. I don't understand it, nor can I explain it. I didn't have huge expectations so I kept it simple with spaghetti and meatballs. Even cafeteria spaghetti can make me happy at times. That's one dish I'm not that picky about. Somehow, I even hated it here. Canned tomatoes with a bland, seasonless sauce. Meatballs were tasteless and dry. What saved this place from a one star rating was the turkey cream soup that came with my meal. On the salty side, but it was creamy and tasty. The boyfriend enjoyed their root beer float. read more

I love diners when done well. The Yankee Clipper is one of those hidden 1920's gems that will show you what I mean. On a day trip to the Dia-Beacon? This is the FIRST PLACE you need to visit on the town's main street. You will love your meal and restore you faith in human kindness. THE SPACE - A beautiful jewel box art deco space clad in polished aluminum with a comfortable retro feel. While some folks had obviously just visited the Dia-Beacon the majority of folks seemed to be regulars based on them being greeted by name. THE STAFF - Family owned, we were lucky enough to have Jessica help us. AND...you will need the help. The menu is filled with what feels like over a hundred choices. While everything looked great passing by our table my pro-tip is "follow Jessica's guidance" and you won't go wrong. THE FOOD - While all the Diner Classics are here...I would encourage you to check out what's near and dear to owners "Greek" hearts.. Gyro Wrap, French Onion soup, Hudson Salad and the Moussaka are all amazing. I had the gyro (which you should get for the feta cheese alone btw) and Shan had the spicy buffalo chicken wrap. So so good. Would have taken a photo if we had known how good they would be. THE SECRET - What truly sets this place apart is the care and love put into every dish. Once you settle on what you would love...make sure to ask for what would make it perfect JUST FOR YOU. Yes custom orders aren't just accepted they are encouraged. Who does that? Seriously! According to Tonia the owner this comes from their passion for great food and treating people like family. read more

We found this diner on a google search while traveling through NY and it was great. Our group of seven managed to get a table in the otherwise full restaurant, and the service was fantastic. The menu was huge, but most of us opted for breakfast. Eggs Benedict was great, and the kids loved their meals. Seemed like a lot of locals on a Saturday night, which is always a good sign. Good prices, and large portions. read more

A small diner on the main street. Not so fancy and not so crowded. Easy to find table. We ordered dinner special which comes with soup and salad. We also took fried calamari. They had buffalo calamari, I asked them for the regular one and buffalo sauce on the side. The soul fish with crab meat was good. The shuvo shrimp with pasta was no salt. Free 2 hour parking outside on the road. read more

You know, I am quite surprised this place doesn't have better reviews. Had breakfast here today and really, it's a typical diner. The usual diner food, fast and good and a little bit of everything. Service was GREAT. Very friendly and welcoming. read more

Not sure how I've missed this diner, but I'm so glad we noticed it and stopped in, the food was good and the prices were reasonable! I have no doubt that we'll have to go back here and try some of the other things. The day we were there I was looking for a light lunch so I had a grilled cheese and fries and both were great! Service was wonderful too! I was lucky enough to find a parking spot outside, even though it was a beautiful and busy weekend in Beacon. I did notice though, that the diner has a parking lot behind it! DEFINITELY will back to try more of the items on the menu! read more

I am so often disappointed by restaurant pancakes. Their buttermilk pancakes are SO GOOD. my partner was not happy with the gluten free French toast, but I loved my meal. read more

Nice service, fun atmosphere and I learned something about an interesting airplane of 1938. Avocado Benedict came like warm and wasn't super interesting. Added salt and pepper to potatoes- they would need more love (eg onions etc). Blueberry pancakes - better. Good coffee. read more

The platonic ideal of a diner - my favorite spot in town. Delicious food and friendly service, no matter how busy! It's often bustling, but not so busy as to be distracting or uncomfortable. The food is excellent and the prices are fair for the food and the location. Breakfast is great, lunch is great, dinner is great. I've come with large groups and also just on my own to eat pancakes and read a bit. They're always friendly and welcoming - I truly can't recommend enough! read more

Came here for lunch one Saturday afternoon about a month ago with my family. The place was pretty busy, and as expected with places outside of the city, service was a bit of the slow side. It took us a long time for us to even get waters and to eventually order, and even after we got our food (which, thankfully, came out quicker than the time it took for us to order), the server had forgotten to put in my order for a milkshake. Even still, the food was pretty solid, which is why I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of anything less. Prices are reasonable as well, and the fact that they have a parking lot are also other saving graces. read more

It's an ok place, too pricey for a diner. I've only been here while visiting family in the area 4 times. I've never really had anything that would make me rank this place high on my list of places to eat. The diner feel is on point, when you come you feel just like what you expect from a diner. I've read other reviews trying to find what food is the tastiest but, everything is just ok. Sorry little diner in Beacon this is all I could give you. read more

The pancakes are excellent - light, fluffy, the ideal pancake. Add the fresh strawberries and maple syrup for a perfect plate. The French toast is also very good - flavorful and rich. Both come with whipped butter, and you can ask for additional butter as needed. If you want real maple syrup and not corn syrup it is an additional $2 charge. The fresh strawberries, which can be ordered as a side item, are a great addition to the plates. The bacon is some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and good quality. The sausages are good too. The eggs are not so great - the scrambled is more like an omelette, and the over-hard came out looking like the scrambled. I've only been for breakfast so I will update this review with dinner information soon! read more

Nothing I had here was worth mentioning but I will say the service was superb. Food: my partner and I both had the pancake deluxe which comes with 3 pancakes, eggs any style, and your choice of meat. I chose to have my mine come with bananas and chocolate chips. Food was average, it wasn't bad just average. Coffee was good. I feel like the cost of the food doesn't match the quality. I would expect a meal like what we had to cost no more than $8-$9 but it's a whopping $10 here. When I go to a diner I expect diner prices. I felt like I was at a small cafe somewhere on main st in a small uppity town with these prices. Service: Our waitress alone deserves 5 stars, and my review is greatly based on the service she provided. She was attentive, she made sure we were good multiple times, she was speedy with the request even though it was Mother's Day and the diner was quite busy. If I remembered her name I would've given her a shoutout. The whole team was friendly also. Will I be returning?: No, but I had a good experience and will recommend this place if anyone ever ask about a breakfast spot near Cold Spring or in Beacon. read more

Went for a simple burger and had a wonderful meal. The service and food could not have been better. Topped off by the most amazing homemade cheesecake, all while watching a women painting The holiday decorations on the windows. read more

16.95 for a dry waffle, avocado and bacon. Unbelievable. I will never be back here again, I can't wish I could give them no stars. read more

If I could give my experience ZERO stars I would. Let me preface by stating that I usually don't find myself this perturbed to spend my time writing a review, but I am all for helping others make informed decisions.. First, I called and spoke with a friendly woman (I do not know her name) and said I would like to order an egg salad sandwich on a hard roll. I would like tomato, cheese and bacon on said sandwich. I would also like fries with that. No big deal, I was starving and just wanted something quick and simple... So I collect my food and bring it to work. I open the bag and noticed that they forgot to put my fries with my sandwich. No big deal, it happens. I call and speak to another woman (not as friendly) and tell her what happened. She proceeds to tell me not to worry I wasn't charged for the fries, the person taking my order made a mistake. This is where I get confused.. I say to the woman "So you mean to tell me I was charged $13 and change for the sandwich and a fountain soda?" I was trying to find some justification as to the amount I was charged which seems excessive for egg salad. She proceeds to itemize my order as follows: Egg salad (which COMES WITH LETTUCE): $5.95 Hard Roll: $1.00 Cheese: $1.00 Tomato: $0.89 Bacon: $1.00 I said to her "isn't there an egg salad sandwich on the menu that comes with bread?" She proceeds to tell me about the egg salad club sandwich that they offer. It comes with tomato, lettuce and bacon. AND FRIES. For $11 and change. I said "why wouldn't someone offer that to me? I mean, it seems like a cheaper alternative to being itemized for every detail of an EGG SALAD SANDWICH" Now, this woman was rude the whole time I was talking to her and it was obvious that she had no interest in entertaining this conversation any further. My point in all this was if I am speaking with your employee and they don't disclose to me that every detail of what I am ordering will result in a charge and that if I order an alternative it will have everything I want for a cheaper price, why wouldn't I be frustrated? Plenty of other places do that. I would have done that! And I would have gladly taken the suggestion and we wouldn't be in this place right now. Her answer to all of this was: "We don't do that. We process your order the way you order it. We don't make suggestions, we just take orders" I could tell that this woman did not care that I was upset after realizing I got nickeled and dimed over my lunch, so I asked to speak with the manager. She indicated she was the owner, at which point I told her I would no longer be patronizing her establishment any further. Also, the egg salad was TERRIBLE. It tasted like rubber paste. read more

Had brunch here recently. The food was absolutely amazing. This place is everything you want in a diner! Delicious food, generous portions and fast, friendly service. The restaurant is pretty small but had no problem getting a table on Saturday around 1 pm. read more

DISGUSTING!! FOOD WAS FROZEN, THEY SELL FROZEN FOOD AND EITHER FRY IT (HALFWAY) OR MICROWAVE IT. I did not appreciate spending $150 on a TV Dinner. I could have gone to a fast food joint and eat a warm meal. I will never return!!! Even the fries were disgusting, who messes up french fries?!? read more

The Clipper is a spotless modern dinner. Prices are fair and food is always good. Staff is friendly and cheerful. There is ample parking around back so you don't have to find a spot on main street. Unlike the new mega-diners that are popping up, here you'll see a contant staff and an owner present. Today I had a Reuben and fries and loved it. Be sure to ask for the fresh cut spuds. Burgers are large and tasty. Which describes every meal I've had there. read more

Not only does this diner have exceptional atmosphere--beautiful red booths, red tiles in the walls, and very kind service--but the food is wonderful, too. Personally, I enjoyed a tuna melt (with cheddar substituted for the American cheese, which I'm sure would have been excellent, too), the "Greek omelette," and a Vanilla Malt. It is very conveniently located, on Main Street, and will not disappoint if you know what to order! I hope to return to try the Spanakopita. ** REVIEW EDITED ** to correct a typo and add this: The fries were fantastic. read more

Now this is fast food. While it is standard diner fare, what you can count on here is really great service and an excellent cup of coffee... if you only have an hour before a train, this may be the place for you (small group though). It is a 5 to 7 minute uber/lyft from the station and their service is efficient. Only critique...watery orange juice. Not worth it. read more

Great Diner. Friendly staff. Always a solid option for breakfast or lunch on Main Street.

We were hesitant to eat here because it was a long wait. They got us in after 10 minutes and EVERYONE that works there is amazing. It is a hidden gem for sure! We felt like family eating there! Best omelet, the hash brown potatoes were out of this world and the pumpkin cheesecake was to die for and I don't even like pumpkin. If you are in the area do NOT hesitate to go there we are from 4 hours away and we will definitely come back just for this diner! read more

We been going here for several years looking back now the food was decent, but the price for it killed it. The wait staff provided excellent service depending on who you got. The owners depending on their mood were not bad not good, but just okay on most days when we were there. I avoided the high price dinner meals would stick to breakfast, sandwiches and wraps because they taste decent, but not good. We won't be coming back here. read more

The burger on the patty melt tasted like a frozen Salisbury steak from school and was dry. The crapwich had no sauce on it and was soggy in the center. The fries with gravy and mozzarella were good. read more

Always a go to spot for great food. Food almost always comes out quickly and the orders are always correct. Consistently great food and service. Have gotten a variety of things including burgers, sandwiches, soup - all tasty. Solid menu. Worth checking out for a nice bite to eat. read more

i went here with my friend 3/6/17 for break between driving practice, it is a beautiful old fashion diner that is keep in great shape. all the staff was very friendly entering and exiting, i had the Louisiana which is Cajun chicken breast,cheddar cheese, grilled onion on a panini pressed whole wheat ciabatta bread, the chicken was seasoned well and juicy, the cheese was melted and onions were grilled and not chared. my fries that came with it where very fresh like my sandwich. a diner that does it right here and make it ultra fresh and fast. our waitress was very nice and attentive to us, she was a sweetheart. overall i like it here alot and so friendly and man i saw everyone there either cleaning or serving someone. if am in the area i will hit them up and i recommend them completely. read more
