Rant- South York Diner

I shared this with a friend (a nestie!) who is moving to York, but I wanted to share it with everyone else too:

DON'T go to the South York Diner!!! We went there for the first time tonight and it was TERRIBLE!!! The hostess was extremely rude to us both when she seated us and when we paid. The only thing good was the waiter. He was very friendly and took money off of the price of our check because the food was so bad and we didn't eat it all. The hostess, however, was awful. She sat us at a table with a TON of crap under it (first not saying that she was ready to seat us, and instead yelling to us "NEXT!" from across the room!) and then told us it was the only place she had open... but the WHOLE RESTAURANT was empty! And then we went to pay and she saw that the waiter took money off the check (which he did without us asking him to do it, he asked why we didn't eat everything and I told him the truth) and she asked what happened so I told her the food wasn't good. She then said "did you eat any of it? How much did you eat?" and went to look at our plates! It seemed like she was going to make us eat more or something. She was really rude to us the whole time and was awful when ringing up our check. She acted as if we asked for money off and we didn't. I just wanted to give you a York tip, haha. We went because my MIL thought it was good, but will never ever go back again. First impressions are everything and from the minute we walked in we had a bad impression. Plus their prices are higher than I thought they should be. Oh well. You live and you learn!

Re: Rant- South York Diner

  • I've never eaten there, but I have been disappointed before with the low-quality of the "diners" in the York area.  I guess I'm jealous of the diners featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" with Guy Fieri on the Food Network.  Those places always look so cool and the food makes me drool sometimes...and I just don't get that feeling from any of the local diners. :o(
  • My DH and I dine out frequently and both are pretty well traveled. South York Diner was hands down the worst food we have ever been served. It was so bad, we couldn't stop laughing. Everything came straight out of a can or was a heated frozen meal. So, so bad.

     

  • I agree that place is horrible.
  • Try the new Thai place on Beaver Street (between Market and Philly), Esaan.  It is really good!  They are usually open for lunch but they are going to be open until 8 pm tomorrow for first Friday.  I can't get past the fresh spring rolls and beef salad.  They also randomly make gelato, which is really good.
  • Thanks dear, it's dually noted lol I usually go by what people say of their first impression....soooo I don't think we'll go there lol

    Hm! We'll have to check it out!

  • Back in high school a friend of mine worked there, but I have never eaten there. ?We always just went to Denny's, when it was still Denny's. ?I guess you will just have to come to Lancaster and go to the Lyndon Diner!

    There's a Lyndon Diner in York now (formerly the Nautilus & Star-Lite) but I haven't been there yet.  I wonder if it's the same as the Lancaster one? 

     

  • I could not help but giggle as I read this.  I'm a former central PA nestie but now I'm over on the NC board, since I moved.  Anyway, I was born and raised like ten minutes from the South York Diner and it used to be called Donut Delight, or the double D haha.  It's always just been so terrible, my IL's live right down the street and they enjoy their breakfasts, why I'm not sure.  It's a yokel place and you'll rarely see new/young people in there.  haha I'm glad to see not much has changed back home!! Sorry you had such a crappy meal though!
