Hanover Railside Family Diner

Great food at great budget friendly prices. Perfect location between the library and the Eichelburger building.

Had lunch with some co-workers a few days ago. Our server was lovely and attentive. The food took a while to arrive and honestly I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese I got but the Jill salad that some of my coworkers had looked fantastic. Sometimes it's just about knowing what to order. Looking forward to trying the salad in the future

Let me start with the TLDR: Yes, come here for the quality/good food and the equally good prices. Recently I had a crab cake sandwich here which really solidified this place as a place to frequent with my family. As a Marylander Im quite picky about my crab cakes especially when Im out of state so for such a cheap price and the fact that it was one of the better crab cakes I had while at a restaurant is a huge plus for me. I don’t live in Hanover but I come to Hanover often for family and because of that we like to have many different restaurant options. I like that they have a relatively good sized parking lot although I wish there were more disability parking spaces. The doors aren’t accessible so if you or someone you’re with uses a walker or wheelchair then you will need to hold the door open by hand or get waitstaff to help. Accessibility usually isn’t common in Pennsylvanian establishments so this is unsurprising. You can seat yourself here and there is the main room which is relatively small and a larger dining area if you cant find seating in the main room. I will say service can be slow both getting your order and getting the food but I think they have a relatively small number of staff so I can understand it. The last time I went it was 95 degrees out and they dont have A/C but they do have fans which is something at least but it wasnt cold for those who prefer their dining experience like that. Overall this place is worth the drive over and the food is consistently good.

This place always has decent food at a great price. Always fresh, cold salad. The battered Haddock is great and they serve a large portion. Maryland crab and cream of crab soups are good and are included with the meal.

Very nice service staff, delicious food I was impressed the price was much lower than comparable nearby restaurants. Clean dining room and restrooms. Good menu options.
