Local restaurant named Pa.’s best late-night food spot
A local restaurant has been named Pennsylvania‘s best late-night food spot.
Round the Clock Diner in York was named in an ACE.com survey pf 3,018 respondents as one of the top places in America to eat when everything else is closed.
“A true 24-hour institution, Round the Clock is where York’s night-shift workers, road-trippers, and post-bar crowds gather for bottomless coffee and diner classics served with no fuss,” ACE.com reported. “Chrome booths, huge menus, and plates that hit the table fast – it’s everything a Pennsylvania diner should be. Out of the many kinds of Triple Decker Club Sandwiches, the Charbroiled Chicken Breast sandwich is the stack that powers most late-night visits – made with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo – it leaves nothing more to ask for. The Charbroiled Chicken Breast – lemon pepper, Cajun, BBQ, or original – offers a cleaner, protein-forward option. Open 24/7.”
Pennsylvania has two of the best late night eats in the country in York’s Round the Clock diner and Pittsburgh’s Ocha Thai Noodle. Round the Clock ranks fifth nationally, while Ocha Thai Noodle is No. 29.
“Late-night food is more than a meal – it’s a moment,” ACE.com stated. “Whether you’re clocking out, dancing out, gaming, studying late, or just awake when the rest of the world isn’t, these spots become little anchors in the night. What stood out in the survey is how personal these places are to people. They are not just restaurants; they’re rituals, lifelines, and sometimes the only warm light on an empty street. Everyone remembers their 2 am favorite.”
The top 10 nationwide are as follows: 1. Crispy Burger, Burlington, Vt; 2. 11th Street Diner, Miami Beach, Fla.; 3. Taco Bus, Albuquerque, N. Mex.; 4. Diner’s by Upscale Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii; 5. Round the Clock Diner, York; 6. Good Time Charli’s, Chandler, Ariz.; 7. Midnight Diner, Charlotte, N.C.; 8. South Street Diner, Boston, Mass.; 9. Al’s Deli & Grill, Birmingham, Ala.; 10. Havana Restaurant (Havana Cuban Food), West Palm Beach, Fla.
