What 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.
CAUTION: 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.
A real diner. Its difficult for me to rate a diner a five so a or is that pretty special place. Is diner go the food is fine, the experience is pleasant except that the Yankee is a pretty noisy place. There are a lot of dining venues in Beacon. The Yankees good choice for lunch.Retail Maven no longer rates one and two star venues they have no importance.
Best diner food Ive ever had. Not that thats saying much as Im an Australian living in NY, but damn. Plus amazing service.
An authentic diner experience with a huge menu and portions as to be expected. In the cutest little artsy town.
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.
Pretty good service, food somewhat pricey but it is nice overall.
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.
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. 🧐🤔🤨
Nice place and good food. Our server was frequently distracted.
Great old school style dinner. Pretty much what you’d expect. Huge portions, friendly staff & decent prices.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Excellent service and food!! Love the hustle and bustle of this busy diner!! The open faced roast beef is fabulous. Would highly recommend.
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.
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!
Good food but we waited a while.
Service was good and the food wasnt bad. The menu doesnt cover the Reuben being open-faced.
Nice place to take few friends or a quick bite..
The food here was excellent and the service was great. If I really enjoyed the décor inside and outside as well.
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.
We went in because of the reviews. We got what we ordered exactly as we asked for it. Great food and we loved our waitress. I wish I could remember her name. She was tipped well so it doesn’t matter. We look forward to returning.
Delicious, kind and well priced! We got shakes, gyro, soup and loaded fries!
Love the place overall great food great experience always coming back
Very tasty, fair prices, large portions
Clean. Quick service. Quality diner. Large menu and accommodating for Vegans.
Loved it - great food. Great staff - very personable!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
Great lunch spot. French fries were the best! The menu had very nice selections.
If you are in New York, you definitely need to check one of these dinners
Very busy, but staff made sure we were taken care of. Food was delish and came out quickly.
This is a great diner on Main St in a quaint little town in Beacon NY. Breakfast was awesome and the prices are reasonable.
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
Great service, great burger and the soup was spot on. Great menu full of great options. The staff was great too.
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.
Everything was perfect: so good and very well served. And nice staff. Ill go back!
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
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!!!
Had a nice lunch here while visiting my daughter All our dishes seem to be well made with large portions
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.
Pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and our waitress was great!
Great menu. The waiter was extremely nice. Great atmosphere. I would go again
Extremely good food and excellent waitress
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

Excellent food, coffee and staff. This diner is family owned and run. Thrilled we found it in Beacon,NY! Definitely worth a visit.
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!!

Pretty standard diner food but with milkshakes that are anything but! The Oreo milkshake is delicious. Highly recommend.
Staff was super nice, restaurant was very clean. Mozzarella sticks are great, wraps are good. Not seasoned enough for my own personal taste.
Excellent food and great staff !!
Diner food, ok, and plentiful. Service was a little slow and waitress forgetful.
Good diner, would love some additional vegan options (such as diary alternatives)
