Dave's Diner — Restaurant in Adamstown

We finally went up to the counter to pay the bill, and our waitress laughed and said, "Oh I was supposed to come get that, but I busy talking to my coworkers!"...

I am thinking that breakfast is probably better than lunch, leading to the higher ratings.

Menu is very limited. We stopped in on Sunday, January 15th. Ordered a bowl of their "best of Lancaster County" Chicken corn rivel soup, and a cheeseburger. Wife and I shared both. The soup was ok, but very small rivels. Broth was ok, but if this is the best in the area, not overly impressed. The burger was good however we ordered medium well and parts were medium rare.
