Larkin's Restaurant & Deli — Restaurant in York

If you are traveling please RUN! We received food in a to go plate after we stated we would be eating here. The front desk clerk was a young girl with an Afro and a stiff welcoming spirit. She didn’t want to answer questions when we order and didn’t tell the cooks that we didn’t want pork on our food until my daughter and I decided to walk back to the kitchen area. I ate here with my daughter on yesterday. The food tasted decent while we were there, I had an hamburger with fries. The whole time we waited on our food I noticed the front desk clerk went back and forth to the kitchen and she and the other guy cooks were giggling and laughing. I had been spiritually fasting all day from food and water. So when we received our food and we ate it happily. My daughter who was not fasting mentioned her food was salty. I also commented that my food was saltier than usual but we are from Georgia so I just thought we needed to adjust to the salty taste. We soon thanked them and left. We went on to our trip. During the drive from Larkin’s to Louisiana, we both had diarrhea and headaches. We stopped at the ER in Mississippi because the stomach cramps became to much to bare for both of us. So I thought it was a case of food poisoning, but come to find out it were overdosed with MSG. I would pass on this place if I were you. I will never return. No reason they asked us 10 times was...

Larkin in York is truly a gem for anyone who loves authentic Southern cooking. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, hometown atmosphere that makes it such a welcoming spot. The food is exactly what you’d expect from a classic Southern kitchen, flavorful, hearty, and prepared with care.

The fried chicken is perfectly seasoned with a crispy golden crust, while the vegetables taste fresh and home-cooked, reminding you of Sunday dinners at grandma’s table. Their cornbread is soft yet slightly crisp on the edges, just the way it should be, and the desserts carry that comforting sweetness that rounds out the meal beautifully.

What makes Larkin special isn’t just the food, but also the people. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and treat you like family, which adds to the authentic Southern experience. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and every plate feels like it was made to satisfy both your appetite and your soul.

Everything and mostly everyone was wonderful. The only thing, or person, that kept me from giving them 5 stars if the little girl fixing plates. She has the ugliest attitude I've ever seen in food service and she does NOT need to interact with customers. Other than that, EVERYONE ELSE is completely polite and helpful, especially the young man at the register. The food is excellent!!! And the price is very reasonable. Go there and just ignore the girls bad attitude. If the owner reads this, PLEASE move her to the back...
