Pennsylvania’s Top Rated Local® Restaurants Award Winner: Lawrence Park Dinor

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Lawrence Park Dinor is an award winner for restaurants in 2019.

If you are looking for a restaurant that will transport you to a real 1950s vibe, look no further than this award-winning company!

Lawrence Park Dinor has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across five different verified sites with an average rating of 4.87 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 98.71 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking as one of the top 100 businesses and the number one restaurant in Pennsylvania!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Lawrence Park Dinor is a must-visit. It’s a small, bustling place, but no matter how busy they are, we’ve always had the most welcoming, friendly service. We only go about once a year, during our trips to the lake, but they make us feel at home and like regulars nonetheless. They have a great atmosphere, awesome food, solid coffee, and seriously, the nicest staff imaginable. We love it!” – N.F.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Lawrence Park Dinor is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Lawrence Park Dinor and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Becky Standley.

Lawrence Park Dinor is the only restaurant in Pennsylvania that is listed on the historic registry. Guests can come in and feel what it would have been like to enjoy a meal in the 50s. They were even awarded for the restoration of the building through Preservation Erie. Becky told us:

“When we bought the diner, we put out a statement saying that our primary goal is to make sure your visit is a pleasant experience, from the family-friendly atmosphere to the tasty items on our menu. We strive to use quality products purchased from local suppliers and farmers to provide you with a memorable dining experience. We hope you enjoy your step back in time, and we thank you for breaking the chain and choosing to dine with us. Our vision is to become a food time capsule that our customers can’t wait to experience again”

Building Success, Online And Off

Lawrence Park Dinor has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Becky how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. Becky said that they post their soups and specials on Facebook, and that they have been asking their customers for reviews.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Lawrence Park Dinor has managed to. We asked if Becky could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Just be honest and sincere with your customers, and do what you say you’re going to do. And do it the same way every time. Offer the same quality time and time again.”

Becky ended our chat with this lovely sendoff:

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without our amazing staff. Thank you so much to them, for making all of this work. Thank you to all of our patrons and for all of the local support.”


Congratulations to Lawrence Park Dinor for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Becky for taking the time to speak with us!
