“10/19/2024
Today is my second time to be here. The food is good. All my friends love it.

I do not eat meat. They made my breakfast burrito, took out the meat, and added avocado. It was very good.

Two of my friends had the perfect landing because it comes with coffee (only one comes with coffee).

Hope u will try it. Thanks.

10/20/204
My friends wanted to come again. So I am here. I wish they should have more vegan dish or vegetarian with coffee for me. I hope it will soon because all my friends love to eat here, but I do not want to eat meat. Thanks.

Vegetarian options: Ask the server to help what u need.

“This diner is a solid 4.5 of 5 as far as diners go. Twice I've eaten breakfast foods here and both times the restaurant was spotless and the staff was super friendly. This is a text book diner with all of the typical foods. My eggs were cooked correctly and the regular hash browns were browned on both sides making them steaming hot in the middle. It's the cleanliness and consistent food and service that really makes this place shine, well done!“

“This is a great spot if you are craving chicken sandwiches. In my opinion it is better than the Popeyes chicken sandwich. They call them Sando’s and offer different spice levels to choose from. The portions are generous and the wait time was short. The only two things I did not like were having to cut the sandwich in half to eat it and the price. While I understand they have expenses fourteen dollars for just the sandwich felt a bit high. Other than that it is a solid place worth trying.“

If you are in the AV area looking for an upscale restaurant that allows you to come as you are look no further. At first glance the menu might seem a little basic with just wings and pizza but ba-beeeeeeeeee let me tell you something, we ordered three different types of pizza and each of them were FIRE 🔥. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients down to the dough. The garlic parmesan wings were fried just right and had a good flavor. The ambience was a vibe for sure from the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory gates that surrounded the patio entrance to the private room in the back where we celebrated my sisters birthday. If you haven’t done so already go check them out, I promise it will be worth it!“

I have been a loyal patron of this bar for more than five years, and without a doubt, it has cemented its reputation as the go-to spot for many in the area. Schooners Patio Grille is a popular haunt among firefighters, nurses, construction workers, and sheriffs, making it a diverse and vibrant hangout in Lancaster.

What sets Schooners apart is not just its clientele but also its stellar staff. The team at Schooners, led by the fantastic Jamie - who doubles up as a bartender and waitress, is truly remarkable. Jamie's hospitality and service elevate the experience for patrons, making every visit a memorable one.

Whether you are seeking a laid-back spot for a casual drink, a fun atmosphere to catch up with friends, or a safe environment to watch a football game, Schooners Patio Grille ticks all the boxes. With great company, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance, this bar has effortlessly secured its place as my favorite haunt in Lancaster.

“I forgot to take a picture. What I ordered was the 6 dollar all you can eat 🥞 pancakes. I was really hungry and thought I could do a second helping! Well, was I in for a surprise 😁 Those 3 pancakes 🥞 were Huge! The pancakes were nice, fluffy 😋 and tasty. Defeated by the Huge, delicious pancakes and hot chocolate. I was ready to leave. Now, this Denny's also accepts AARP. Unfortunately, for me I could not find my AARP card. The waitresses were very helpful helping me to look for my card that Thursday morning. Anyway, when I went home. I found my card fell into the bottom of my 🛍️ bag. Very 👍 nice staff.

“Had pancakes 🥞 of course along side a breakfast burrito. Both were delicious and served piping hot. The burrito was large enough to share with my dining companion who had the 2+2+2 and was more than satisfied after adding a side of hash browns. My burrito contained a LOT of hash browns,sausage links, bacon, cheese and hollandaise sauce with a side of salsa. Not quite sure it contained three strips of bacon as listed in the description but I did enjoy it. Had my Hollandaise sauce served on the side. We did the hot pecan flavored syrup. I have never been a fan of the syrup setting out on the table. Overall a very pleasant dining experience. Will go back again.
Out server was awesome, so sorry that I missed her name.“
