Our server was great! The menu was small, food was average. I ordered a summer salad and it was just a basic salad you would get from any restaurant. Drinks were good. They had a nice beer selection, different from most restaurants in Lancaster which I did enjoy

Great first time. Food was good, we wanted brunch and we got it. I ordered a milkshake to go and it was delicious

A cool little spot right near Penn Square in Lancaster city. It’s got the old school diner feel with a flare. They have a menu that features brunch, lunch, cocktails and boujee milkshakes. For brunch, I got the Buford Van Stomm Sando. It was a breakfastsausage smash patty, cheese omelette, onion rings, bacon mayo and pickled jalapeños. The sandwich was loaded with flavor, andthe mayo and jalapeños gave it an extra pop. Spicy, crunchy, salty and savory. All you need for when you’re nursing ahangover.

Overall, I have to say that the atmosphere is really what brought me back here a second time, but I don’t think it’ll be enough for a third. I do find the place to be a bit overpriced (my waffles were more on the dry side and I was charged an extra.50 cents for butter with my waffles without being told of the extra charge). I have also tried two different drinks from thereand they were too strong to be enjoyable (however if you’re looking for a place that makes their drinks decently strong,Max’s is the place). Therefore, atmosphere is great and it’s a cute place for brunch with friends, but so far the food hadbeen underwhelming for me.
