Yum! So good! The chicken sandwiches were tender and crispy in the right places. Tandoori tang was tasty. Balanced slaw. Burger was delish- tasted 5 guys ish but more assembled presentation. Classic well executed homemade fries. I appreciated that they had malt vinegar available.I didn't taste the onion rings but those who did in my party liked them. The whole place was small and had a nice vibe. I noticed the price programmed into the register that we were charged for a small ice cream we took to go was higher than what was listed on the menu. Maybe not updated there? Anyway, in from out of town and would for sure stop here again next time we're coming through.

still 5 stars! This time I did get the tandoori cheesesteak. My wife stuck with the classic smash burger. The food is still amazing with a friendly staff at the counter. I could eat there 5 times a week!

Ordered ahead via their online website. Got a text about 10 mins later saying my food was ready. Got there and the place was packed , so that already let me know the food was gonna be bomb. Came for the chicken Tikka cheesesteak I've been hearing about and it's just as good as I thought it would be . Added some jalapeño for some extra heat and it went perfectly together. Definitely will be back for this!

Rare find for halal fast food! Burgers are delicious, the Nashville fried chicken is spicy (just like we love it), and the loaded fries are quite a treat. Would not recommend the cheesesteak since it's rather dry (would suggest more cheese) but everything else has always been good and you can tell how popular the place is from the rush of takeout orders. As others have said, the place is rather small, with classic vibes and lots of Route 66 memorabilia, but there are a few tables for dine in too. Haven't tried the milkshakes yet, but looking forward to checking those out in warmer weather.

This place was popping! We arrived a little before 1pm and managed to get the last table in the back. The food was prepared fresh and served hot! I really enjoyed my cheeseburger and French fries! The chicken tenders were good too! It is a small place, so be prepared to take out your food if you can't score a seat.

What is the definition of a gem and consistent? I'll wait.. ok forget it, I'm an impatient type of fella when it comes to this Uh-MAZE-ing location. *Consistent ~Unchanging in nature, standard, or effect over time. (I'll explain why I'm asking you in a few minutes.) *Gem ~ something prized especially for great beauty or perfection. (This is second meaning of a gem from the Oxford dictionary.) The reason why I asked you fine folks of the Yelp world this, is because this is what you'll find once you've visited Route 66 out here in Lancaster. A gem in the rough that has that consistency from your first bite, down to your last. What other place can say this? I've made the trips thinking there is no way my first time could have the same result. I made that drive people, from Philly all the way out here to Lancaster to see if maybe this was a fluke. Negative fam, these guys are on point. I went as far as to try their Tandoori style fried chicken taco's and their Nashville fried chicken sandwich. Blown away, simply amazing. I wish I could give these guys more stars than just 5. They greet you the minute you walk in , even when they are jammed up with customers, the owner is super friendly. Who would of thought that a small corner spot like RT 66 has that big of an impact in this community. Again Lancaster of all places! Just go in there, order your burger how you want, wash it down with a homemade milkshake, and you'll see. With kind regards, ~Nando **Side note~ These guys are Halal, which means there is no pork products, in turn there is no bacon. I never thought this is the one spot where I could care less if there was no bacon, because it is that good without it.

Located on a corner on a random street in Lancaster, this is a place not to pass up on. It's delicious, quiet and clean inside. The interior decor is very vintage vibes :) Immediately when you come in you are acknowledged and there's a menu right on the counter. We ordered a single and double cheeseburger with French fries. We sat down and got our food within 10 minutes (maybe less). I think it's a father and son running it, they were very efficient. The food was delicious I prefer here over a place like Shake Shack. It's like the classic smash burger and is super flavorful. Overall, I give it a 5/5. My boyfriend came with me and was like "I am debating on ordering a second burger just to take home" because it was that good. Will be returning, so glad we stopped by to try this place!
