Lots of parking. Great location by town. Great place to get some grub after hiking. Quick and helpful service. The milkshake was delicious. The breakfast omelette was a good portion and also tasty.
Chicken Avocado BLT was delicious. Got waffle fries that were crispy and perfect. Comes with a pickle and coleslaw. Would recommend. Its a big portion, will fill most people.
Great breakfast, so good that we went back two days in a row. The Greek yogurt parfait is highly recommended. Great, friendly staff.
Top notch diner! The best burgers and onion rings around ! I’ve been here about 5 times now and I’ve never had a bad meal yet. The staff is well trained and friendly , the diner is clean well lit and the booths are big enough. Well worth the half hour ride for us!
Nice little diner with good food, good portions, and very friendly helpful service staff
Effervescent sodas, fresh coffee, crispy fries and tasty cole slaw. Good illumination and clean facilities, including the bathroom. Automatic teller machine in the vestibule. Booths cozy. Waitstaff very heavily accented! Prices remarkably fair. This diner gets busy, so plan your visit accordingly!
Great food and great service a combination that keeps my wife and I returning just about every week. My wife and I like to order a sandwich we like to call the “Beacon Duo” it’s toasted Rye bread with grilled chicken, basil pesto, roasted red peppers, avocados and Swiss cheese served with french fries.
What a great find, thanks to my Roadside America app.. The food is delicious. The menu has a wide variety. Beacon is a fun little town.
Love the style and friendliness of this place. The menu is exhaustingly big, something for everyone. We ordered buffalo wings, burger and chilli dog. Lost a star as some of the larger wings were still cold on the inside
Im not really going to give it any stars. My food was good. My guests food. Was supposed to be stuffed seafood platter. Lets just say. The macaronis soggy, the peas are mushed and the chicken taste like wood! ( Sugar Hill gang). At first the order was brought out wrong. Then sent back. Hence ....
Food is great, and a huge selection. Something for everyone. Had a large to go order and they insisted on helping me to the car. Was not expecting that level of service and it was appreciated.
Got the Avocado hollandaise. Tasty breakfast for diner fare with the best home fries Ive had in a while. Very busy, does good business on Sundays.
Got Cajun Chicken Salad. It was delicious, and the house dressing is perfect. Good food, nice staff and good prices.
Visited this diner last Sunday- along with half of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Solid spot- fast and friendly service, delicious breakfast burrito, great prices. Also, props for serving both forms of breakfast sausage (patties AND links)! I do wish they had more bathrooms / stalls- but obv not a deal breaker.
Believe the hype ! This old school diner is amazing. My husband and I had the turkey burger and the buffalo chicken panini with fries and omg it was the best we’ve ever had ! The servers are the nicest and friendliest and very much attentive to all your needs. The menu is very large and caters to all needs and wants. Meals are fairly priced considering how generous the portions are. I’m so happy I discovered this gem by chance of just passing on the highway and saw the sign on the shoulder. I can’t wait to go back !!
We enjoyed our dinner and the great service. All the staff was extremely friendly as well as helpful!!!
Good experience..great burgers and great service. Wish that the drinks were included with the kids meals.
Food was okay. Very slow to come out. But our waiter Jared B was amazing!
Very good service and yummy food
Good food at very reasonable price!Always have good and friendly service.
In case youre wondering, they do have grits. Not bad service, nice ladies, one looks like Mila Kunis.
We love it here! Great food, friendly service- classic diner!
A little gem of a diner! Friendly service, retro decor, lots of locals hanging out, hot coffee and a menu of affordable comfort food – what more do you need? I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict, which had a surprisingly robust hollandaise sauce.
Mediterranean chicken was a great selection! Not only was the food delicious, but the waitress, Amy was top notch and polite. Definitely recommend this diner to anyone and everyone!
This place is awesome. Great selection of food, fast & fluently service, & quality of the food is always on point.
Nice dinner with good food in the heart of Beacon. Was my first stop after getting off the Metro North train and Ubering into town.
Great food and outstanding service. This place has been here over 40 years. Love em
Great food and awesome service! Fun diner vibe too.
Food was delicious. Excellent customer service
Friendly staff and everything looks delish. Portions where big.
Good food, good service, good prices. Love this place.
This is the dinner in the back ground, of every movie you ever saw. Friendly staff. Fast service. Diner with a small bar by the front door. Deserts were a hit with the kids.
Great food and great service. Very very clean. You definitely get your moneys worth with their portions. Also a bonus they have a whole section of their menu thats gluten free. I had the Cajun shrimp wrap and it was phenomenal! Its not something Id usually order but all the ingredients came together for a yummy meal with a side order of fries. Id love to come back.
Only had a coffee and...chocolate cream pie...a treat very rare and homemade. It was to die for...awesome 50s ambiance. Traditional diner to see.
Yum! This restaurant has all the looks of a diner, from the outside in! Large servings and good service.
The lady made me cry!!! She laughed at me told me I had to hurry up & order & literally tore menu from me told me I couldn’t order broiled fish…she was not the waitress she was the hostess…I had been on road traveling for 12 hours I came there beat down & tired…I thought it was going to be great old fashion diner experience. Instead it was a living nightmare. Then for her to laugh at me. I’m not a JOKE. I’m a WOMAN just as you are a WOMAN. Please don’t laugh at another female that comes into your establishment to finally have a meal after traveling alone for 12 hours. Unkind unfriendly totally unprofessional!!! I’m still stilling here in my car outside diner crying my eyes out. Thank you for making me feel like I should be dead…I’m a human being I deserve to be treated with respect. Please no one should support this business. Minus 5 stars. If you don’t have kindness you don’t have no spirituality. It doesn’t hurt to be kind.
I honestly dont know how Ive gone this long without writing a review. Coming from Jersey, I have a high standard for town diners. Ever since I moved to New York, its been hard to find a diner that feels small business, has incredible food, and the staff isnt rude. This diner is a GEM. I (not even joking) am eating there sometimes three or four times a week -- And for all the vegetarian folks... this is THE BEST VEGGIE BURGER IVE EVER HAD.
This is the second time I have been to this diner. The first time I ordered a chicken entry and an onion soup. The chicken wasn’t bad, but the waitress forgot about my soup. The second time I ordered a Caesar salad and this experience is primarily why my rating is low. First there was so much water in the plate. I appreciate that the salad was washed, but it should be somewhat strained before plaiting. Any seasoning that was there, was washed out. Second, there was anchovies in the salad. I don’t hate anchovies, but I did not expect them in the salad and would have liked to have been asked if I wanted them included. Third, the dressing included was bland and looked like it came out of a bottle. For a $17 Caesar salad I expected much more.
Great diner atmosphere with tasty breakfast foods
Food was great, Jessica the server was attentive and fair on pricing.
The food was excellent as always & the waitress Anna was attentive just like all the other waitresses n waiters. I love Tonya, the Owner & her husband. Theres nothing like eating at a place where everybody knows your name & you feel at home!
Amazing waitress and an extensive menu!
Went to a wedding the night before and needed....recovery breakfast the next morning. An iced coffee and their cheesesteak (with a fried egg and my own addition of the fries) cured me right up! My girlfriend and I love little diners and this one was heaven!
The portions are huge and everything was delicious. Was just visiting the area after a hike and came across this place. So glad we did. The staff are also amazingly friendly and helpful.
Food was delicious and more than enough. Personally for me, having the French Onion soup first and then the Pastrami sandwich with French fries was too much food. I really should not have gotten the French fries, but instead had the sandwich alone with the pickle wedge and Cole Slaw.
Best diner food Ive ever had. Not that thats saying much as Im an Australian living in NY, but damn. Plus amazing service.
Can’t say enough great things about this diner. The staff is so friendly, the owners are always present and interacting with the guests, and the food is consistently AMAZING and quick. From the wide assortment of tasty paninis to the best chocolate chip pancakes EVER (and I mean the best ever), I highly recommend Yankee Clipper! Also, the dessert is amazingly fresh, especially the chocolate layer cake! Extra shout out to Amy and Jess, the most reliable, attentive waitresses! All of the servers are great :)
Long day out. Tried to get some comfort dinner food. The waitress was distant. The food was thin. Maybe tough day for waitress, no excuse for food. Not a good dinner experience. Think again before the Yankee Clipper. 🧐🤔🤨
Good amount of outdoor seating, plus some indoor as well (as of 10/18/2020)I had the clipper wrap.... delicious layering of the cheeses and bacon. Potatoes were superbly done. I also got the London coffee (with Baileys)..warm and sweet, good for a fall brunch.She got the mushroom/veggie omelette, with a side of turkey sausage and gluten-free bread. All excellent quality.Staff was attentive, and coffee refills were abundant. Everything was clean and well organized, and prices were reasonable.
Road trip brought us to finding this diner. Great food and service.Huge menu with gluten free options!
Visited Beacon, NY with my Dad & Sister - came upon Yankee Clipper Diner- we were incredibly pleased with the breakfast we were served and also with the exceptional service!! Can’t say enough about Tamara our server- she was superb- so wonderfully friendly & attentive. The food had so much flavor and we couldn’t say enough about the coffee! We loved the coffee so much that we asked Tamara what company the coffee was from - we’ve contacted the company to order some. If you are a fan of French toast- it was amazing- wonderful amount of cinnamon flavoring- also had the spinach & feta omelette- amazing!!! We stayed two nights in Beacon & had breakfast there both mornings because we were that pleased with it. Also want to mention how beautifully clean it is and how pretty the decor is- just renovated a year ago. You won’t be sorry visiting Yankee Clipper diner- promise!!!
Nice dinner, full menu, good service
Quick service, great food, outstanding attention
Great food! Nice stop for a place to eat in Beacon. NB: I would prefer if the tables were not so close together, personally. Bathrooms needed cleaning.
Came all the way from Japan to beacon and this place made me physically ill. Not a nice way to welcome you’re guest
Top-notch diner with fantastic homemade breakfast and lunch dishes. If you love spanakopita and grape leaves, youll love theirs. Split pea soup was so good we took some to go. And fantastic carrot cake. A must stop if youre in Beacon.
Got breakfast. Service was great and food was great. The breakfast specials are cheap and filling. French Toast was enjoyable.
Great friendly service, solid food, lots of choices, full bar.
I love this place. I grew up here and I think its part of the history of the city more than anything that is being renovated now. You cannot beat the cuisine here. They love to serve and to fulfill your appetites desire.
Breakfast was on point, great service and prices.
I give it a 4* out of nostalgia! Its the epitomy of an old school diner in every way. Great service with a tiny bit of sass, old booths and bar seating, food was good, and they have booze. I had a good time.
Great old school style dinner. Pretty much what you’d expect. Huge portions, friendly staff & decent prices.
Good food and service and never leave hungry.
Everything a diner should be (except 24 hours). The spinach pie was worth the carbs and the feta cheese wasnt too salty.
Very average meal. My first time there, but willing to go back and give another chance. Ordered the fish and chips, and they basically tasted like store bought frozen fish sticks. The diner itself is stylish and very clean. Next time Ill try their burger and amend this review.
Excellent service and food!! Love the hustle and bustle of this busy diner!! The open faced roast beef is fabulous. Would highly recommend.
OMG sooooo good get the chicken and waffles!!!!!
Great selection of diner food, fast and friendly service.
Èvrythinģ was delicious n it was a lot of food. Only thing is I wanted a pinacolada but they werent making any at the moment. Maybe it was 2 early 🤔. After all It was 8 am 😁. Service was great, they waitresses were very sweet. Ill post pics lata
I liked my gyro, salad wasnt as fresh as it should have been. Service was good
I was approached and interacted with Tonia... upon arrival she stated that is was a 15 min wait before seating on a busy Saturday morning. I stated that I would do a take out because I was famished. Her tone and mannerisms was beautiful. Her customer service although short was very poised and refreshing. I can’t wait to go back and dine at the restaurant. I later approached another waitress to say that I was very impressed with her service and as a result I am now writing this review. Please visit this location.
Great service outstanding waitress
Portions were fair, but the waitress had to be asked for water and they charged my Mom $2.50 for some bread to have with her chili. Dont get me wrong, she was nice and the experience wasnt unpleasant at all, just a few things to work on is all.Food was good!
Food portions are huge and the staff is great.
Nice, quaint little diner. We had a chance to swing by on our way to Dia:Beacon and it was well worth the stop! Very retro modern atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food. I’ll be sure to come back again
Wonderful! We are visiting town for a few days and staying up the street. Went there last night for an easy dinner and ended up coming back for breakfast this morning. Good food and service, and not overpriced. Wide selection to pick from and they even have gluten free pasta available. Win win!
This is a very cool building and has full traditional diner vibes. Its clean and comfortable and has a huge menu. We opted for the Greek options as we had read these were the best, but all the food was very average and quite bland, which was a shame. Service was good though!
My third time here and counting. Always a great experience. Staff are friendly and attentive. If I want to change my order around and add/subtract certain ingredients, they were nice enough to do that. Omelet and panini are both great options. The menu is massive and have tons of choices. Price is good too.
Its a very nice place to eat. The menu is an enormous list of comfort goods. It will most likely have any and all of your favorites. On my most recent visit, I had the sliced steak sandwich The sandwich was really good and large enough to leave half for leftovers.
Very friendly staff. Food came as ordered. Refills were quick. Prices are reasonable. The wait time normal. The food was tasty. The plating was good. The place is very clean. The bathrooms were clean. The diner is filled with locals.I would definitely eat here again.
Classic! Great fries and shakes.
This was my first visit. We were lucky in that they were still serving early bird dinners which included soup dinner and dessert. Everything made from scratch and delicious, especially pickled beets! Server (Carly?) was a delight, very personable. Will absolutely go back.
Very good diner food and they finally brought their salt content in their soups down. At least the last few times I bought it. I used to call the diner salt central but now it is much better. I hope it stays this way. They just needs a place to sit in the waiting room for the old folks.
This dinner is too big to get 5 stars, that is reserved only for true diner car restaurants. Classic diner fare with good service, and generous portions. Why do diner fries always taste like fish? The lighting is harsh, so dont go there on a first date.
Its REALLY tough for me to dispense a 5 star, but this place is simply great.Decor is modern, but not like, trendy, and spacious enough and comfortable.The menu is WAY extensive, with great options, Id thing for anyone, except the most restrictive diet. The prepared food is very good, every time Ive been there, about a handful. And, finally, all the staff are helpful, attentive and very friendly (Im thinking theres a trickle of MDMA in the pipes entering the building, or something?).Strongly recommend, and looking forward to my next visit. 🤙
The food here was excellent and the service was great. If I really enjoyed the décor inside and outside as well.
The bester diner in southern Dutchess !
Great food, great service!
Excellent service...good food and reasonable prices.very clean.good parking
Love this diner it’s super clean, the servers are always really friendly and I appreciate that the food is fresh. I have never been disappointed and have tried many different things on the menu. The chicken slovaki platter is delicious and definitely my favorite !
Pretty good service , food somewhat pricey but it is nice overall.
An authentic diner experience with a huge menu and portions as to be expected. In the cutest little artsy town.
Excellent food and good service..
I hadnt been in this Diner in a long time. Recently, Id stop in once in a while, to get a cup of coffee, to go. This past week I went there two times, for lunch, and I was WOWed! The service here was Professional, and polite, and very efficient.I was then WOWed again, when I ordered the food. The Chicken Noodle soup was almost a meal in it self. Cubes of chicken, and noodles, top to bottom. . My burger was cooked just the way I wanted it. It came with cold fresh Lettuce and Tomato slices, and a nice spear of Pickle!The restaurant is clean to the point of being shiny.The restaurant is handicapped accessible. Also they have a parking lot in back of the Diner.They take Credit , Debit cards and cash.
I live around the area but this was the first time we went there.Thumbs up for the delicious food & a lot of choices on the menu ,the serving of food was fantastic.The diner itself was clean and presentable. The staff is so friendly to everyone and very accomodating.Although its kinda bit pricey, but all in all the food experience was great!
WE WENT IN FOR MY BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST. FOOD ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS AND BUTTERMILK PANCAKES YUMMY. PERFECTION. OUR SERVER, JESSICA, ATTENTIVE, TO ALL OUR NEEDS. CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK.
A pleasant dining experience with very friendly staff! I hadnt heard of this location before visiting with friends and it exceeded my expectations. Food comes out promptly after ordering and tastes good, and the facility is clean and inviting.
Food and service were great.
Not from Beacon. My girl friend and I popped in for a bite and were pleasantly surprised with the food and service. The portions were large, the food was great, and the service was fast and deserving of praise. Well done guys!!
This diner feels like home. They have great gluten free options too. My favorite is the gluten free french toast deluxe. Ask for their natural maple syrup. Its extra but worth it especially if you have digestive issues..
Had a nice breakfast together with my sister. She ordered an egg white omelet with bacon & tomato that was not only huge but was also nicely prepared. I had 2 scrambled w/cheddar...nothing special, but delicious nonetheless. Service was friendly, on the spot and the whole thing came to under $20. Altogether, a nice experience and Id gladly suggest YCD to anyone!!!
I love this place. Breakfast its always on point. The burgers are delicious too. I cant believe how well fried chicken goes with waffles. The sundae waffle is insane, get ready for a sugar rush or instant diabetes. I almost get the steak and eggs. Theres a reason why they got the best dinner in the Hudson Valley reward.
Were from South Carolina and we were not sure where to eat, but my wife googled a diner and this one had great reviews. We were a little sceptical because of our experience with another diner a few days earlier. This diner had great food, atmosphere, and was friendly! All that you would want in a dining experience.
Very nice diner. Classic yet updated and sophisticated decor. Very friendly and efficient service. Had a very nice chicken panini lunch special that was reasonably priced and more food than I could eat. Recommended if you are in Beacon.
This place is a staple in beacon, they know every customer. Consistent, good service and excellent food for a diner, you won’t be disappointed! Huge portions too so you can bring some home for later
Staff was super nice, restaurant was very clean. Mozzarella sticks are great, wraps are good. Not seasoned enough for my own personal taste.
Waitress was terrible. Kinda set us in the corner and forgot about us. A guy came out to clean the table beside us and whatever he sprayed on the table should be used while people are eating. We could all taste it. Would never go back. Wish I could give it minus stars.
Great for breakfast. Not sure on the other meals (Ive not had dinner thus 4*s) but the breakfast I can highly recommend. Some adventurous offerings outside the standard Benedicts - Waffles - Pancakes - Egg Sandwiches are all very good and satisfying. Portions are at least for us are just about perfect. Not so much you feel you did something to your body you shouldnt have.
Great Diner, Specials are awesome and off the menu selections are very tasty and not too expensive. The Staff was very attentive and courteous. Def worth a visit. Also so much to do in the surrounding area from a movie theater close by to Hiking Mt Beacon as well.
Really nice old school diner. Menu has a vast selection and the service is great. I had the avocado chicken blt and it was fantastic. My girlfriend had the chili cheese nachos and those solid as well. Portions were pretty hefty
Would live to review the food, but we walked in at 9pm only to be told that they would be closing 20 minutes later to update the computers. Look, dude, if you want to close early, just say it. The lie just leaves a suspicion that you hate your customers.
I love this place. Friendly atmosphere, capable; hard working staff and perfect diner fare. Located right on main street in the middle of everything. Go enjoy a gyro & if you still have room a milkshake!
I’ve been coming here since I was small. This diner has very good food that always tastes good,and a wide variety of dishes to chose from. The service is very good and overall this diner deserves 5 stars.
Had a nice lunch here while visiting my daughter All our dishes seem to be well made with large portions
Great food and friendly staff. The blackberry cake was wonderful!
Good food. Good prices. I had asked for an omelet with no pepper but got peppers and was told that there was nothing to there was a little. I pulled some of the peppers off and send it back to show them or him. The dish was taken off. Thank you for that...
Great lunch spot. French fries were the best! The menu had very nice selections.
Very friendly place in the middle of bustling downtown beacon! I was particularly delighted to discover they have a whole section of gluten-free entrees to
We love this place! Foods always good and nice portions. Friendly staff & the owner always makes an appearance to say hi. We have been here 8 or so times & plan to go many more.
Small Diner in Beacon New York. nice friendly staff service. Grilled cheese was decent the fries were good. My friend had a medium rare Burger that was totally rare and undercooked. NYC prices
This place is always a winner. Its the place always has a table when everything is packed, always has a great meal when everything else is fairly bad, always has good value when everything else is way overpriced for what it is and done badly, at that. Its not fancy but it is well done diner food. In fact, better than most. Tired of it all? Go here.
This diner is exceptional! The food is fresh & made with care. All dishes were above average & well beyond my expectations. Im almost hesitant to call it a diner at all, as its much more than that.
Service was good and the food wasnt bad. The menu doesnt cover the Reuben being open-faced.
This is my favorite place to stop when I travel on interstate 84! Not only do I know the owners very well but the food is wonderful and the service is great! I stopped today but they were not there, celebrating Greek Easter!! It’s not far off the beaten path and worth the trip!
Standard diner fare in the heart of Beacon thats complemented by friendly service
I love the diners in NY. Yankee Clipper has just about anything you can think of on the menu. My whole parties food was delicious. The desserts were especially tasty. Clean restaurant and restrooms too! Next time Im near the Yankee Clipper I will definitely stop and eat.
Great service. Clean place
We were really pleased. Both our dishes (I had liver and onions, and my wife had scrambled eggs and homefries) were excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Well definitely be stopping again.
This place is amazing, they have some of the best burgers around . Both quantity and quality of the food is excellent. Staff friendly and you never have to wait for service or sit with an empty drink they fill them constantly.Top notch all around.
Great little diner with well priced meals. Nothing to write home about but everything is worth what you pay and the staff us super fast and friend. Perfect family spot, you wont get hosed on the bill.
Our server , Jared, was fantastic- friendly and attentive. Food was excellent
Always happy with the service. Everyone there is wonderful, its like family. The waitresses remember our orders and always come and say hi if we have someone else. I always recommend them to anyone visiting.
Never a disappointing stop. Great food and staff with bang for your buck. Youll leave with a full stomach and more money in your wallet compared to 99% of the rest of the food stops in Beacon. 10/10
Excellent food, coffee and staff. This diner is family owned and run. Thrilled we found it in Beacon,NY! Definitely worth a visit.
Nice place and good food. Our server was frequently distracted.
Great menu. The waiter was extremely nice. Great atmosphere. I would go again
Pleasant experience, good food
One of my favorite places to eat. A big menu of good food. Friendly attentive staff & comfortable atmosphere. Not Diner food. Just like homemade & plenty of it.
This place was incredible ☺️. The atmosphere the, service, it was great.
Great local diner. Closes a bit early for my taste so call ahead for hours. The service is perfect and the food although very good is exactly what you would expect from any other diner in NY. Great variety too and great deserts.
Big menu with lots of great, if typical for a diner, options.Waitress was very nice and friendly. Food was good. Great location right in town.
This is a great diner on Main St in a quaint little town in Beacon NY. Breakfast was awesome and the prices are reasonable.
Great service, great burger and the soup was spot on. Great menu full of great options. The staff was great too.
Delicious, kind and well priced! We got shakes, gyro, soup and loaded fries!
Always good food and plenty of it. Staff and service is always friendly and prompt.
My favorite Diner EVER! Great Staff, food and specials, and more. Their soups are to die for and my favorite is the Greek Lemon Chicken Soup (served on Fridays). Roasted Chicken is the best entree and the best sandwich is the Main Street Panini
A classic styled diner with a bursting menu peppered with interesting little twists (like a 3 cheese pesto grilled sandwich that is my new favorite snack). Patient and friendly staff, great milkshakes and comfy booths for long lunch meetings make this a late-night haven, even when the sun still shines.
Best dinner ever! From day one, the people have been so friendly and wonderful. The food is always so good. My boys favorite place to eat!
Very busy, but staff made sure we were taken care of. Food was delish and came out quickly.
Best French Fries around! Hot, Fresh and non greasey! Never had a bad meal there! Easy parking!
Free parking, 2 entrances, opens 0600, plenty of seats until around 1130. mostly booths, comfy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.love their French toast. Specials come w, coffee and choice of small juice.
A great place to eat have been going for years. Service is prompt staff friendly. Large portions and as usual good food.
A very conventional American diner. All white guests (except me) and all minority servers. If only comes a robbery with a shotgun, Id thought I were in a movie set. The food, very conventional hunky food. I ordered the Heavenly Pasta, thinking perhaps that is why fewer and fewer people believe in heaven now.
Always a nice and positive experience here. Great food and great prices. Me and my mom love coming here.
Great service. Omelets could be cook in a pan so they come out a little more like a omelets than flat. For a reverence like IHOP. Give you good amount of food for your money.
Great neighborhood diner - family-owned and everyone eating here is treated like family. And the menu/ food is delicious!!! Great staff - friendly, courteous and attentive!! The Yankee Clipper is a home run 🙋🏻♀️❤️
A Beacon standard. Easily one of the best diners in the Hudson valley, and certainly beats those in the surrounding area by a country mile. Friendly prompt staff make this one of my go to places for casual dining.
We atethere, yesterday, mash potatoes, mushy and no taste, usually, the food, is good, maybe the cook, had a off day ?We had very small bowl of white clam chowder, very watery and I did not like it, I am convinced, there is not one good place to eat in dutchess county, new york.
Everything was perfect: so good and very well served. And nice staff. Ill go back!
Good diner. They had a bit of an issue when I was last there but the decor and food were good. I am sure my experience was an isolated incident
This diner is on par with most others in the area. Food was mostly good, but not even close to great. Soup was very very salty. Left without getting dessert. Service staff was excellent though, despite the food.
The Yankee Clifford diner is the extended family of Beacon.Standing stately at the gateway of town Not only does it have everything you want a diner to have but it has great service incredible pina coladas a bar they will add anything to anything without a blank. When I was renovating my home and Beacon and didnt have a kitchen for months the Yankee clipper became my extended family my extended kitchen and my extended home I could count on them for something delicious plentiful the menu never got old and was served with kindness and a smile.
Pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and our waitress was great!
My go to diner in Beacon forever. Spent ten years making it my number 1 and theyve never let me down. Great staff, great food, and cocktails!
Nice older diner, well maintained, and great staff. Parking and entrance in the back which makes it easy. Our meal is always delicious, and very good prices.
Clean. Quick service. Quality diner. Large menu and accommodating for Vegans.
We felt the value for the food at our particular breakfast was not a good one. $40 for eggs and oatmeal for three people felt excessive. The $7 charge for a side of steamed spinach with over the top. Smoked salmon was old and fishy. Coffee was burnt.
A good diner to visit conveniently located in town with a large parking lot in the rear of the building. Service is always quick and friendly. The food is always good too! A reliable place to visit.
Serves lunch for breakfast.....exactly what I look for.Clean. Courteous employees.
This is the Chick-fil-A of diners only a foodie would know what I mean best pancakes hands down staff super professional ecstatically friendly sandwiches oh my goodness and the Retro place makes you feel as if you step back in time ample parking in the back lovely ambience great surroundings and shopping spots after Eatery definitely a must when traveling.
Good food but we waited a while.
Love the place overall great food great experience always coming back
This is the true American diner. Love the simple breakfast. Friendly staff. They are just lovely.
My family and I got takeout from here at around 8-9 p.m on a Saturday night. I got the burger, and I honestly have to say it was really good for a somewhat sketchy-looking diner. Not sure about other food, but would go back.
Always great food, pleasant atmosphere. ...a real old fashioned diner with awesome service.
Been going here for years. Never disappoints. Great food and good portions.
First time here...it was great! Menu had lots of choices, people were friendly, dinner delicious. Highly recommend the lemon soup!
This diner was adorable, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was great. The food was delicious, I could probably eat the french fries all day long.
Loved it - great food. Great staff - very personable!
Nice restaurant small, friendly staff fast service meals are hot fresh food been going there for 18 years breakfast lunch dinner depends on what I am in the mood for.
The Yankee Clipper is a quintessential all American Diner. The food is great and comes out fast . I love bringing my family there for dinner out, because its very kid friendly.
Great food, terrific service, plenty of parking ~ cool retro diner look...
Quintessential diner experience. As seen in Paul Newman’s 1994 classic, Nobody’s Fool!Had the cream of turkey soup recently (right, who knew?) and it was a delight. They should change the name to “dream of turkey.”Try something off the “Southwestern” section for a festive detour from the routine.
Visiting a friend and after our hike we were starving she brought me here. Staff greeted me like family and the food was delicious.
Had breakfast. Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly. The waitress intelligent and efficient. Service was fast despite the place being very busy
Always great food. When I come to town I always go there.
Pretty standard diner food but with milkshakes that are anything but! The Oreo milkshake is delicious. Highly recommend.
We stumbled on this place thanks to a road sign on I 84. What a find! Friendly staff, great food. Definitely worth the small detour!
Great menu selection, friendly staff. My family havent found a menu item we didnt like.Family favorites are Penne a la vodka, country fried burger, and chicken wings.

2022-05-26The bbq burger with bacon, the appetizers was out of this world delicious! The place is beautiful inside and out, and the staff caring and attentive. When I travel back to Fishkill, I will definitely will have to stop on by and enjoy some more delicious food.

2022-06-03I went out with my friends for dinner and they brought me here. By far the best diner Ive ever ate at! Its very clean in there and the service is good. But the food is amazing! I actually went back a few days later for breakfast and it was just as good! Definitely will keep coming back

2021-10-11CAUTION: DELICIOUS breakfast any time of day!Oh man, I was so happy we found this cool diner before our hike in Hudson Highland State Park. The brunch we had was delicious, fulfilling and very generous. We had three separate orders: Nutella Banans French toast (aka heaven on earth), buttermilk pancakes with eggs and bacon, and an order of western omelettet accompanied by rye toasted and homefries Everything was made with love, almost to perfection! This place is really clean, has friendly waiters, and a cool 1950s diner vibe going. We will most certainly come again even if its just to eat! I wish more places had this home like style diner. Just a heads up, the coffee is also amazing!Bring the family and enjoy! Ps: the portions are big.

2021-11-29I wish Id known about this place sooner. Great broiled stuffed seafood combo. Went back two weeks later and had it again. I look forward to going back again. My son had a burger -- which looked really good. I may get a burger next time.

2022-05-26Wake up and smell the coffee and enjoy what has to be one of the best breakfasts we had on our entire trip through the north east! Stayed in a local hotel and was offered take out continental breakfast so decided to walk to this diner and give it a go! Best decision of the day! Amazing server, brilliant food, clean restrooms beautifully decorated! The ABC of restaurant life making this a come to place. Sorry no photographs didn’t expect this to be so fantastic!

2022-07-03Delicious food with a large variety of dishes to choose from. My wife and I requested that a dish be taken back after realizing that it had crab in it— an item that we both cannot eat. Staff honored our request IMMEDIATELY and were VERY accommodating. Portions are great, and service is SUPER on point.Would definitely come back!

2021-04-07What a find! Believe all the positive reviews. This place has fantastic food and a cool vibe to boot. The food is large portion and big enough to share. The best is to order lots of stuff and go for the family style dinner and have a little of everything. Enough food to keep you full most the day. Pancakes, eggs, everything done without a flaw.

2022-05-09Its been a while since Ive been impressed by a dinner! Yankee Clipper gave gigantic delicious portions and phenomenal service, especially for Mothers Day. We got salmon and a chicken wrap which we recommend. The place also has a retro nostalgic feel, something you truly dont see too much anymore so be sure to support them the next time you are in Beacon! You wont regret it.
