I love their fish sandwiches and their clams are great too. When I was there, there were only a couple of tables there and the waitress was so slow and so chit chat lame! Even the wait on the food seemed excessive, yet it was worth the wait. Their tartar sauce is horrible though. Made with a cheap salad dressing instead of mayo. I have learned to pick up the sandwiches and pick up tartar sauce at McDonalds before heading home. The atmosphere isn't that great. A little mom and pop establishment.

A quaint little cafe with great food, service and cooks! Ate here for breakfast a couple times and dinner too! Good tasting, home cooked flavors and foods! If you don't make it by breakfast hours you can still eat breakfast items and sandwiches. Lots of sides to choose from and many varieties of meals to choose. Great prices for the service and meals!

I met a friend for an early dinner there. I was a little skeptical as to what I would order as I'm not a real adventuresome diner but I was pleasantly surprised. My friend had been there a couple of times and liked it and suggested we go there. I ended up ordering the fish sandwich with melted cheese and homemade tarter sauce and it was really good. You got one side with it and I chose the coleslaw which was also really good. She had the Eire egg rolls and a side of onion rings which she said was also very good. They had a nice little patio out front which I imagine would be a great place to sit with a drink when the weather is nice and watch the people go by! Our waitress was good and very attentive but let us sit and chat without interrupting too much :) I would recommend this place to anyone who has not been there. Give it a try!!

We recently were in the Lancaster area at lunch time so checked my favorite "TRIP ADVISOR" for restaurant choices. Found good reviews for TODD'S so visited. We both had breakfast meals and were very pleased at the food, service, and price. Will definitely return if in the area.

I frequent here quite often for lunch, but chose a night that was extremely busy! Service was slow for a table of 2, potato skins, curly fries and 10 wings. The potato skins came out with our food and were cold. The curly fries were crispy and hot. The wings were hot, but covered in grease with little sauce. :-( this made the wings kinda soft and slimy, although the taste was ok, the texture was not.

We were a party of seven. Arrived slightly after the dinner hour. Every dish ordered was very good. And prices very reasonable as well. And to top it off, our server Ben was one of the best servers I've ever had in any restaurant. He made suggestions, changes we wanted to our dishes didn't phase him, drinks continuously refilled, great personality -- A1 pleasurable and efficient service.

We were in town on a bike trip this June. We ate there one evening and for two breakfasts.The late meal was after a very disappointing stop at the Irish Pub on the corner. the food at the pub was so bad that we needed to find a place to eat after leaving the pub. The Four Reasons saved the day, or should I say evening. We got great roast beef sandwiches and cold beer and it was great. The next morning we went for breakfast, the breakfast menu is limited, but it was good and coffee was very good and well what more can you ask for. Now understand, this is a place where you place your order at the counter and they bring you your food when it is ready. So, it is a bit self serve. I recommend it highly.I'm glad you found us. I felt badly for all of you with all of the rain but you all seamed to make the best of it. We enjoyed all of the GOBA riders and met a lot of wonderful people. Thank you for your kind words.

If youâre in Lancaster and hungry stop here. We shared the 14 ounce no bone rib-eye and a roasted veggie pizza. Rib eye was melt in your mouth delicious. It came with potatoes and veggies. Pizza was thin crust and covered with a generous amount of veggies, enough to call it a warm salad. Weâre an hour away but itâs worth the drive. Ellen was a great server. About $50.

Went her for lunch with a group of men. Great staff and varied menu. Nice "modern diner" atmosphere. I was pleased to see they had bison burgers on the menu along with several salad options. All the guys said that they've never ordered a bad meal here. THey also serve chicken and waffles!
