Description

Nestled in the heart of Anderson, this charming diner exudes nostalgia with its vintage decor and a model train winding through the dining room. Patrons praise the classic menu, particularly the onion burgers and thin fries, which deliver satisfying, if not particularly filling, meals. While the atmosphere boasts a lively buzz, service can be inconsistent, with some experiences marred by a lack of attentiveness. Despite its dated interiors and limited seating, the diner remains a beloved local gem, drawing families and visitors alike. Affordable prices and quality food make it a must-try, but expect busy times and a lively crowd.

The onion burger far exceeded my expectations. Being from Oklahoma where onion burgers are a big deal, I was surprised to find a place up north that does them perfectly. I will be eating here everytime I visit Anderson, easily worth 15 stars. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This was my first visit to the Lemon Drop in Anderson. They were packed at 12:30 several were waiting for a table. I sat at the counter and enjoyed the conversation of my fellow diner because he was funny. I ordered the dbl cheeseburger, french fries, and tea~ my meal was served hot, fresh, and delicious, and with a smile! The Lemon Drop offers tasty food. My bill was just under $13.00 Service: Dine in
