I only been to Yankee Doodle Diner once and it was an unpleasant experience. The menu was small. The prices were cheap. The food I ordered wasn't that good. There were also flies flying around the booths.
I think maybe they have illegal or maybe newly arrived immigrants working there. Every time I saw a guy come out the kitchen he was speaking Spanish and looked Mexican. The ordered was wrong when they brought it to my table. I told the waitress and she said the guys in the kitchen keep messing up orders. I heard her talk to the one guy from the kitchen and she had to repeat herself a few times b/c he couldn't understand English well. My one friend is a waitress at another establishment and informed me that some restaurants in the area hire illegal immigrants in the kitchen to save money. I dont know for sure if this is the case with this place though. This was all a while ago so maybe its changed.
I always see the parking lot packed but I assume its packed with tourist who come for the flea market across the street. There are so many good places to eat in the Poconos I would just avoid this place b/c its really not worth it, but like I said I only went once and it was awhile ago.
