If you want the perfect spot where you can order breakfast food all day long, search no more. Owned by the same folks who run Shelby Cafe in Cleveland County. Awesome menu of breakfast items, sandwiches, and daily specials complete with great vegetable side dishes. Give them a try! read more

We had breakfast again midweek, late morning. An older crowd as usual, everyone enjoying their breakfasts and conversations. Not loud at all. Briefly spoke to the ladies in the kitchen. Complimented them on the biscuits and gravy, the best in town. Sweet people, an excellent Cafe. read more

Very slow service- plenty of socializing and inattention-. Quality what you would expect in cafe- prices went up quality of food down. Check your order before you leave . Beware- 93.5! If you pay by card (the norm for 2018) you pay 3.99% more!! Always changing cooks too- quality still mediocre Cooks need to wear gloves! SLOWEST SERVICE IN TOWN! read more

Great food. Mom and pop atmosphere. Used to enjoy it more often when they would accept DoorDash orders, really wish they would use a delivery service like DoorDash or Uber eats so I could eat there food more. read more

Ordered a simple bacon and egg on bun with mayo. Paid 4.00, no mayo and cold. Lady asked if I had call in . I said no, but tried and it went to a voicemail. She said we haven't had a call. I got my phone to prove to her I had called. Such a rude employee working the front. My 1st time there and my last. Good luck. It made me give you 1 star or I wouldn't have. read more

NO EMPLOYEE WAS WEARING A MASK! Not the server, not the cook, not the cashier. Not a single mask. This shows a total lack of respect for their customers, their family, their community and each other. Not to mention, it is against our current state rules. read more

We have been in Lincolnton for 5 days and eaten here twice great food great service and the first day we ate we sat down next to a family we started talking and when we went to pay they took care of entire bill such nice people I think he said he was a pastor in town I went back to cafe to find out where but couldn't pin point what church .one of the most memorable moments of hurricane Florence .thanks again for the hospitality of this buetiful town . And I think it was pastor Britt and his family read more

A cute cafe - plenty of great choices for supper on a Friday night including breakfast, sandwich plates, salads and meat dishes. Do not come here looking for pizza or Mexican- it is more "American " type foods. Service excellent. Portions generous. Prices inexpensive. I had the city ham with biscuit, mac and cheese and corn. Mac and cheese was not mixed well and lukewarm but ham and biscuit yummy. Husband had large cheese burger with onions and ff- nothing special he says - added a milkshake which was also "ok." Would we go back? Maybe for breakfast. read more

another hole in the wall that will surprise your tastebuds, the food here is awesome an the friendly atmosphere as well.. definitely a five star experience. Thanks read more

Best breakfast and service in LIncolnton. Best French Toast I have ever had. Sometimes you wait a little bit for the food but the wait staff keeps your coffee cup full while you wait and the food makes the wait well worth it!! read more

Quaint and cozy. The food is delicious with generous serving sizes. The onion rings especially are amazing. I loved how this restaurant feels like an old fashioned diner. The waitresses are so friendly and sweet. read more

Very disappointed today. We ordered two or their garbage plates and they should have had hash browns but neither plate had them. Called and they apologized and said they were busy and have new staff and they would make it right next time. If there is a next time I will check my order before I leave. read more

What a cute little place! True southern deliciousness and hospitality! Come hungry! The plates are humongous! Wonderful food and great service! read more

We had dinner there last night. We had a large group of 7 and they were busy. Some ordered dinner and some got breakfast items. My country steak was on point. The gravy was very good. Only issue was the pintos needed some more salt. They were served with a piece of ham in the bowl, but they were a bit bland. One of the breakfast orders was pancakes and they were very large. All in all a good visit. We will be back. read more

Have eaten here 3 times and ordered take-out a couple of times. The burgers and salads have always been good. I love the onion rings as so far they have always been crispy and not a grease laden mess. The service is a little on the slow side, even when not that busy, but I suppose a freshly cooked burger is worth a little wait when you compare it to the precooked or frozen slop you get at a lot of places. The servers seem to be hit-miss. Have had super friendly and have had not-so friendly. The review stating they are closed is not correct, were open just last week. read more

Love going here for breakfast. You get so much food with their monthly specials and it is good home-cooking. The only thing I would say is don't be in a hurry when you go. This is a little country restaurant so the kitchen is smaller than your average IHOP or Waffle House, but the wait is totally worth it in my opinion. read more

When you walk in you think it's gonna be a little ole country food store, it's really small and they play music, yesterday i ordered a BLT, i got toast, lettuce, bacon and mayo, i told them my order wasn't right, she said what did you order? I said a BLT two for here one to go. Needless to say only one was a BLT, the other one got lost at the grill somewhere. So i eat my half of a TLBM, and she said i can order another one, i said its okay, since I've waited for 40 minutes, and the guy next to me had already received his fried chicken, and green beans, and potatoes with Tea. So i finished my half of a sandwich, and stood to leave and the friendly (sarcasm) cashier said, " i NEED your ticket, I said, i didn't get one", she finally found it, and rang it up, i paid with a card and started to leave she said" i need you to sign this", i signed it and told her you no longer have to sign with MasterCard, and i don't need a receipt" I left that sordid attitude, and i probably won't be back for 10 years. If you cant get a BLT right, and talk decently to people who give you money, for food, why are you in this kind of business? read more

Nothing fancy but the homestyle cooking is delicious! Hope to see them in a larger building in the future! Very friendly!

I'm starting with the service. Even though it's a busy place (that's a good sign btw) the people that work there are so nice. Our waitress refilled our drinks without even having to ask. The food was homemade with biscuits to die for!!! The price was **CHEAP** like I couldn't believe it. We both got the garbage platter one with bacon & one with sausage, you can't go wrong with eating here. read more

Went for a late lunch after getting kids from school... 3 grilled cheese, one cheeseburger (1 of the GC was with friend and the burger with fries), 1 tea and 3 kid drinks-- almost $30!!! Wow. Went to cat square yesterday, two kids gc with fries, burger with fries, chicken tenders with side salad, 4 drinks $17. The only good part about Lincoln Cafe was the sweet tea and good ranch, which cat square also has both. Won't be back to Lincoln cafe. Can eat at cat square twice for that price. Unreal. Killing you with the prices of a drink. Also not one refill. read more

I have been here several dozen times. Always busy. Always consistently great food. Huge burgers, awesome breakfast all day and great grilled chicken salads. You will not be disappointed. read more

Their food is good, friendly staff. A great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Great variety of menu options.

We live about 30 minutes from the restaurant but we drive there almost every Sunday morning because we love the food and the service! Staff is so sweet and very attentive. If we go before it gets super busy we usually get our food in less than 15 minutes after ordering. We don't go out to eat much but Sunday morning breakfast is our thing. We've been to a few other places closer to our house but just don't get the great service/food/coffee. read more

Breakfast for lunch! Loved this little place. The staff is super friendly. The food came out quickly and was quite good. They have a great selection on the menu and all at very reasonable prices. Overall just a really great small town restaurant. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was a little leary because the reviews seemed to be up and down but I was happy with my meal and will be back. It is true home style cooking. Nothing seems to be pre-made or store bought. And our waitress was very friendly, so was the rest of the staff that we dealt with. read more

It's not a quarter mile from my house so we use to order from there once sometimes twice a week. The food is actually good and I would have given it more than 3 stars. The issue is the always get out orders wrong. We order for three people each order and at least one if not more of the orders is wrong every single time we order. The worst part is when you tell them they are not at all apologetic about it and have been down right rude. We stopped ordering there unless we just really don't want to have to drive a little further and we always check out order while we are still there. The management really need to work on correcting the issue and on their customer service skills. read more

This place is has great food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Burgers are huge and cooked to perfection every time. Taco salad is full of meat and flavor. Amazing omelets to start your day out right. Staff is always friendly and fast. read more

Homestyle meats and veggies. Breakfast lunch and dinner are all good. Country style steak is amazing. Nice hometown diner with a wide menu.

My family loves Lincoln Cafe. It is a great place with great food and a large selection. My family likes that they can order breakfast anytime of the day. read more

We waited almost an hour from the time we ordered until we got our food. It seemed like the service was slow for everyone, not just our table. I brought my grandmother here for brunch hoping that she would enjoy getting out of the house after a back injury. But they don't serve hot tea (her drink), they didn't have anything other than half & half for my coffee (I just wanted skim or 2% milk), they didn't have a senior menu and wanted to charge a $2 fee to order off the kid's menu (my grandmother eats very little, so a kids meal is usually just right for her), and then having to sit in those chairs for over an hour (which are normal, but for my grandmother's back was not comfortable) made this outing anything but enjoyable. Then in addition, it was a 4% charge for using my debit card. I was really disappointed. Their only positive thing was that once the food came, it was pretty good, but it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the experience. read more

Average food, God awful service. Been there a few times, and met with poor attitudes from waitresses each time. And I had no issues to bring up, no complaints, no sending food back or anything like that, just sat down, ordered and got my food with lots of extra attitude. Service almost as bad as Dicks is known for, except here its not intentional. I would avoid unless you like awful service. read more
