“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!“

“Inside of a building at a small airport reminiscent of the "Wings" TV show of yesteryear. Probably will need GPS to navigate to the location as it's a little off of the beaten path, worth it for the ambience.
Food was good, portions adequate and the server was pleasant but they've really got to step up that whole wheat toast, one tiny slice of bread that wasn't enough for the meal. Son had rye toast which was slightly larger than my own wheat toast.
Able to look out and see planes taxiing in preparation for takeoff, did not see any landings.

“Best, delicious, relaxed Fathers Day Brunch anywhere! Excellent scramble special today and wonderful pancakes, salads, French toast, eggs, sausages and more! We tried it all. The coffee was never cold and was refilled with courtesy. Staff was supreme in friendly service and effective communication! All food was delivered hot and sumptuous. People in our group were excited to plan to come back to try other menu items soon! The wait staff helped us so that both daughters could split the Fathers Day meal, many thanks for the effort. We loved the decor, which included roosters as well as Joshua trees in a set which may have been photographed at Joshua Tree National park.

Vegetarian options: Avocado Toast, vegetarian options and eggs.

Dietary restrictions: Yes vegetarian. Also, different fruits! Try banana based pancakes or the whole-grain pancakes,- amazingly good!

Kid-friendliness: Very good, friendly, including wheelchair, friendly and disabilities. We saw everybody there today and all was handled with excellence and professionalism.“

“Black Angus in Lancaster was my Dad's favorite restaurant. Our family celebrated special occasions which included all of our birthdays -- he relished the juicy succulent steaks especially when it was in honor of his birthday. Dad passed away many years ago but our family continues to celebrate his birthday at Black Angus. We begin with the Wagon Wheel sampler -- large and varied enough to satisfy all our tastes. Then the steaks -- cooked perfectly, fall-off-the-bone ribs -- Mom's favorite so she orders the full rack, and salmon -- my favorite which I order medium-rare for extra tenderness. Black Angus prepares healthy servings so we ask for go-boxes. Of course, in addition to the tasty, fabulous appetizers and entrees, there's a good selection of side dishes and then the Cowboy Cookie a la mode -- except on Dad's birthday when the staff lets us bring a small cake to commemorate this important event. The Cowboy Cookie (my opinion, the best on their dessert menu) is also packed to go. We dine between 3p and 5p so the restaurant is quiet and the staff, despite this timeframe being their shift change, is always attentive and makes us feel treasured. From the managers, who can be seen to bus trays to keep tables ready for next guests, to bus staff who clear the tables impeccably, to waitstaff who are efficient yet friendly and personable, Black Angus Lancaster continues to be our 'go-to' restaurant! Thank you Black Angus Lancaster!“

“It is a gas station place so you don't expect much but it is truly a little hidden corner. While I usually dine there for burgers I really love their wet burrito, with golden crunchy tripas and a red salsa, it is absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and the aguas frescas are refreshing! It is very limited in space however so be warned about seating during peak hours.

Parking: Very few parking spots, no shade, high traffic area due to the gas station.“

We had the pretzels and my 16 year old loved it. Then we had wings and fries, both really good. You want a sports bar that is very family friendly with good food at a fair price, go here. We will definitely go back and try some other stuff that looks good.“
