Great old fashioned northeast USA diner. Silver everywhere with great counter service and booths. All the favorites are here and a little play on The Gettysburg theme. Things like The AbraHAM and eggs sandwich. Located across the old Gettysburg Rail Station.

Whenever we go to Gettysburg to visit my husband parents grave, we always go to the Lincoln Diner for breakfast. Beth takes such wonderful care of us over the years whenever we are in town. She truly is a gem. From topping off our coffee to always having a smile no matter how busy she is. It is a cute little diner next to the railroad tracks. Very clean with great breakfast, hot coffee and those awesome diner looking desserts in that case that if not for breakfast you always want to try one. I would definitely recommend this morning stop if you are in town.

Good diner style price and food, very diner style interior Came to this place randomly after visiting the Gettysburg museum, pretty good! Very nice server, and the food was pretty good as well. There’s a special menu for seniors too, so that was especially neat since our table was all seniors. (Comes with a side and icecream) Only gripe would be that ordered a medium on the steak but got a well done, so it was kind of tough-but that’s ok, everything else was good Free open parking in the back too

It's your basic diner just off the tourist area in town. The interior was clean and the prices are great. There appeared to be a lot of locals in here the morning we came in for lunch. Straight forward menu and friendly service all the way around. We had the Reuben and also the "Rachel" (turkey reuben) for lunch along with fries and onion rings. NOTE: lunch sandwiches do not automatically come with fries or onion rings or other sides to boot, those are additional. The restroom is located down a steep and narrow set of stairs.

Been a customer for 50 Years !! Prices are from 5 Years Ago ! Terrific experience on a Friday for lunch. Sam, our server was all dolled up in festive Halloween garb and had a great attitude. My oyster sandwich was perfection. The hamburger was great as was the gyro and sausage and biscuits. Delicious coffee and plenty of refilled water to go around. I went to college in Gettysburg and remember when this diner was open 24 hours - those were some memorable (or not) visits. The diner looks the same - some things are better off left alone! We will be back!

It was so busy. We went here on a Thursday around 6:30 pm. It took a little long to get our food. I had the beef stir fry over rice and I loved it. My husband didn’t like his food though. It was bland. However, the best thing about this place is the dessert options. I had the best cheesecake here.

Great place to make a quick stop and fill you belly cheap. Nothing fancy just an average breakfast. Portions size is good and fast service.

The Lincoln Diner is a great spot. In our travels, it seems to be that most diners know how to do it. The diner had a great feel and was busy! I give it up to the weight staff, they were really efficient. The food was great even though we had a few hiccups with our order. They constantly refilled our coffee and were attentive to our needs. The pricing is fantastic and great for this tourist town! We will come back for sure on our next Gettysburg adventure!
