Stopped at the Lighthouse diner in route back to Pennsylvania. Service was exceptionally friendly. You can really tell the family takes great pride in their diner. Our server, Gabriel was the most pleasant waiter I have ever met. He greeted us at the door and took care of us right away. We ordered from the lunch special, which was sort of an unusual take on a philly cheesesteak being served on a round hamburger roll. still very tasty. thanks again Gabriel!

This was the best experience in a very long time with the family. The entire staff treated us like theyve known us forever. Always lots of cars there and finally made time to take my family for brunch, so glad I did. Food was delicious! Servers, cooks and even what appeared to be the dishwasher went out of their way to help the busy crowd. Thankyou everybody at the old lighthouse; see yall next saturday!

I personally dont believe they even earn one star! I walked in with a family member, at first the waiter seemed really polite as they told us to sit anywhere wed like. The waiter came to our table and told me, that we normally dont accept outside food or drink! I thought that was rather rude! Considering that Ive been to bigger and fancier restaurants then this. So therefore I wont be back!

Excellent family restaurant. Staff and owners were friendly and very attentive to our large party of 8. I love that they serve breakfast and lunch all day. Most everything on the menu was homemade and fresh. Definitely have the homemade bread. If this place has not been on Diners, Drive-in and Dives it should be. Thank you Gabriel for a memorable breakfast for my traveling family!

After eating out for a road trip from South Carolina to New York city and back it was a nice reprieve to have such hospitality and friendly service. Our server (really servers) took care of many unmentioned needs for our famiky of 4. It really was a nice family atmosphere and very clean, even the bathrooms. We would go again!

We have our own business replacing commercial refrigeration gaskets for restaurants. We were in town for business and came here for breakfast. The service was amazing, friendly staff, and food was DELICIOUS. Weve been in a lot of restaurants and this one is very clean Highly recommend

This place sells the worst pancakes ever. They are made with buttermilk but when the buttermilk is bad then the pancakes are awful. I told the waitress the pancakes tasted bad and then I told the cashier the pancakes were bad. No offer to refund my money.

Absolutely a wonderful place. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, family owned and run. Wonderful places like this are few and far between. Its always nice to get away from the chain places. Visited here 3 times over 9 days

A fun family run diner style spot that really makes you feel right at home. Great made to order breakfast options and ever changing home made desserts. Check it out for breakfast or lunch as it closes early.

Super friendly service and great food! The family that owns and runs it is so great! The homemade bread is fantastic (the white and Bavarian). The sausage gravy is so good as are the omlets (stuffed full).

Stopped for breakfast, but should have kept going. Not bad, but not great. Very pricey and coffee was not hot and in a small mug. Food was OK, but again a little pricey for the quality. Service was good.

I loved this little diner. We stopped in about 1:00, and everything was spectacular. Angelo was very kind and fun to talk to, and the food was great. If youre driving through, make sure to stop!

The best breakfast in Bristol, you have to try their biscuits and gravy and their pancakes are the biggest Ive ever ordered.Yum! Plus great service, and seems most of the staff are family.

Employees were SUPER nice and very attentive but the food was HORRIBLE! I would suggest only ordering breakfast or possibly a burger and fries. Fries are homemade those were good.

The food was mediocre. They serve standard diner food. The decor is cool. Its still family owned and it gives off a good vibe.
