Mom got prime rib. I got breakfast. Pancakes have a delightful crisp to the outside while remaining soft on the inside. French toast was melt in your mouth delicious. 10/10 will go back and maybe we'll be lucky enough to get John as out server again. He was a delight to talk to, like new friends. read more

The best part was being able to come here when the Common-Man resturant had a long wait. The only reason I won't be a returning customer is because there was a poster up behind the counter that advertised a drag show. Disgusting and not appropriate, especially at a family restaurant. Clear sign of politics. This diner has a large menu which is available all day. The food quality and prices seemed average for a ski town. The dining room was cool and the diner area was what you'd expect. read more

Great atmosphere in an authentic 1950 diner that was moved here from other locations throughout its life and now ended up in Lincoln. The service from all staff is fantastic.. everyone was on it and attentive throughout. Food was great, the coffee too which could always be iffy at a diner. read more

Lincoln Diner - American Near Me - Lincoln, New Hampshire

New to Linwood (opened in June, '25) this diner is the reincarnation of their Tilton diner(part of Common Man chain). Our waitress, Johanna, was great and kept us amused. We ate in the dining area adjacent to the diner portion. Tables were spaced nicely so we could converse. My tuna melt on sourdough bread was excellent and the fries were tasty, not oily. My wife enjoyed her smash burger. Even my cup of NE chowder was filled with clams. The manager came around and inquired if everything was ok so I was impressed. Overall, a nice experience that will be repeated. The kitchen can get backed up at peak hours and they close at 2PM. 4.5 stars. Plenty of parking between the two restaurants. read more

Visited the Lincon Diner today. Atmosphere was good, wait staff was pleasant although there was only 3 waitstaff fir the entire place. They were pleasant and attentive. However our food was not very good. My husband ordered liver and onions. The liver was very dry, the onions were supposed to be caramelized and were on the raw side, the potatoes were lumpy and the chili appetizer was so thick the spoon literally stood up in it, but he said the taste was good. So I ordered a Reuben sandwich. It was not good at all. First it was salty because the meat had so much fat, I coukd hardly taste the sauce( I asked for more) and if there was saurkraut on it I couldn't taste it. It was awful. The fries were good however. So after we were done I was waiting for my husband and was observing the cook. He ha a baseball cap on, which is fine. However I watched him take his hat off, wearing the gloves he cooks with, adjusthis hat/haif( over the are he was cooking on, and put his hat back on with the gloves he uses to cook with. I am all set and will not return to the Lincoln Diner. ​​ read more

This is FANTASTIC We came in with very high expectations and these expectations were 100% met. We were greeted by a super friendly host, and then taken care of by a super friendly (and knowledgeable) server. The food was awesome. If pushed to pick a favorite thing on the plate ... the pancakes. And don't forget to ask for real maple syrup. The look and feel of an old time diner, we can't wait to go back soon. read more

Lincoln Diner - The Cadillac Breakfast ... Oh Yeah! - American Near Me - Lincoln, New Hampshire

My reviews will always come from a travelers perspective, with a strict budget. We always travel with our service dog as well, so I give tips on that also. We are a middle aged couple, and sometimes when we have the kids with us we review from that perspective as well. Don't let the name Diner fool you! This food was bomb! The diner was super cute, the waiter was great, the food was so good and the price was reasonable. Overall a great find! read more

Lincoln Diner - The Thanksgiving special and the street corn bowl (winter special). - American Near Me - Lincoln, New Hampshire

The food was 10/10--from the friendly service to the excellent food. My family and I popped in here without doing any research beforehand. We didn't have high hopes, although the place is cute, clean, and conveniently located right off the road. But wow--this was probably the best meal I've had since we arrived in New Hampshire. My husband got the tuna melt with their house-made chips, I had the BLT with sweet potato fries, and the kids had a grilled cheese and the ranchy chicken wrap. My mother- and father-in-law ordered the pulled pork sandwiches with onion rings--and they were simply divine. Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. And holy moly, was it all just amazing. Damon was a doll--attentive and warm--and the hostess was so accommodating. It felt like a place that genuinely cares about both the food and the people. We're already talking about coming back before we leave. Total hidden gem. read more

Lincoln Diner - American Near Me - Lincoln, New Hampshire

We were sorely disappointed by our experience at Lincoln Diner. Despite the previously noted good reviews and our wish that the town of Lincoln would have another good eatery, we found that this new restaurant, Lincoln Diner, is just not ready for 'prime time' and it missed the mark in several areas. First, we were basically ignored at the hostess greeting stand. The restaurant did not appear to be busy at the time, and staff was visible and not scurrying around. Despite this, it took 10 minutes of waiting before being greeted by the hostess, without any prior acknowledgement of our wait. We were seated in the less than half-full restaurant and waited another10 minutes before our server, Jackson, came by. We placed our complete order and Jackson returned with two water glasses and said he would return right back with straws. Spoiler alert: the straws never came. Not that this was a big deal, but it points to the lack of attention to detail and to the level customer service. Second, we waited an inordinately long time for our food. It took 28 minutes from ordering to receive our order of Eggs Benedict and a Cobb salad. Again, the kitchen did not appear to be overwhelmed, and this was after any lunch time rush. The Cobb salad, ordered by my guest is described in the menu as having 'bleu cheese crumbles'. The salad we received did not have any bleu cheese crumbles. When we asked the server, he said, "Oh, you want bleu cheese crumbles with that?" The sever was pleasant and the atmosphere fine. The food was quite tasty. However, compared to service we have received at other Common Man Diners or just in general, the Lincoln Diner fell considerably far short of even our minimal expectations. I would be afraid to go there hungry and have to wait this long for food. read more

My wife and I stopped in the Lincoln Diner the other night for an early dinner. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We were served in the dinner section of the restaurant which has the old 50's ambience of a classic diner. The menu is a mix of diner stables with breakfast served all day. I opted for the vegetarian omelette with cheddar cheese, cinnamon toast and baked beans plus a side of bacon crispy. My wife went with the turkey pot pie. My omelette was delicious and the bacon just right. The beans were amazing (we both loved them). However the pot pie was too dry. We did receive some gravy that helped it out. The good thing about the pie was the crust which was very tasty and flaky. So while the staff was super and my omelette very nice I can't quite give the dinner a top rating. I will say we may be back soon! read more

Food was good. Understaffed, was a long wait. Lots of empty tables. It only opened 7 or 8 months prior. Was a bit dirty.

Lincoln Diner has an old school diner feel though being attached to a more cabin building. There was a line early Saturday morning, but moved pretty quick. Once seated, service was a but slower. I tried their veggie omelet which was a good blend of veggies and well seasoned. Overall a good portion too. Would recommend! read more

Another Common Man Gem. Identical menu as Tilton Diner I've been there 3 times and the food is always top notch Reasonable prices Like all restaurants in Lincoln, the wait may be a little longer due to lack of staff due to no one wanting to work these days Try the Country Fried Steak read more

Took a while to get in. Service great! Food was tasty. Restrooms clean. All were pleased with meals. read more

Food is not good! However the staff is spectacular. The ambiance is fun as it depicts old school Lincoln back in the day. My star rating really reflected the food. read more

The Diner serves breakfast all day. I was there at 4:00 and ordered eggs and bacon. Delicious. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Bacon was very tasty. Brian was server and did a great job of checking back with me to make sure everything was okay. I love the feel of a diner and it has been a long time since I've eaten at one. This was a great choice! read more

Great food - reasonable price - fast service - Excellent skiers breakfast. No WiFi ??? They need to fix that. read more

We were there this morning and less than impressed with the service. My order was wrong but no one came over to check and we couldn't get another cup of coffee or water to save our lives. It wasn't even that busy. Seems like she forgot about us and when we asked another server for our check she gave us an attitude. We usually like the diners in the area and frequent the other common man restaurants often but won't be back to this one. Looks like they rely on tourists who they are never gonna see again. read more

Service was slow, food took a while to come out, quality of the food was not great. Took at least 15 minutes to get our water and soft drinks. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast and lunch spot! We randomly stopped on our way through to Flume Gorge and it's been the best food we've had in NH all week! The lunch was what we got and everything was amazing. BLT, Tuna melt, wrap, grilled cheese, pulled pork, fries, sweet potato fries, chips... magnificent! Service was friendly and prompt, dining and setup was adorable and perfect. Clean restrooms. Highly recommend! read more

Avoid this place. We went for breakfast. Don't diners have the best breakfasts? I ordered an omelet. It looked like no omelet I've ever seen and tasted like no omelet I've ever tasted. It was disgusting. I don't think they even used real eggs My sister's egg wasn't cooked and my other sister's bagel wasn't toasted. All in all it was the worse breakfast I've ever had. The coffee was okay and the service was excellent. read more

Well prepared traditional diner fare with friendly service and an old-timey atmosphere. My party all had breakfast food. The waffles and toast stood out. I'll stop by again if I'm ever in the area. read more

It's a cute dinner with awesome food I highly recommend if your wanting a good meal and very affordable

Destin was our server and the absolute best service ever! Mushroom Swiss Burger, Reuben, and Patty Melt for our lunch and apple pie for dessert were fabulous. It was our first time here but definitely not our last. Love the 50s music! Great job Lincoln Diner! read more

Just had an amazing meal at Lincoln Diner. Didn't feel like having eggs for breakfast so I opted for their fried fish sandwich which was scrumptious, so fresh and juicy and not greasy. My husband loved the avocado toast. The highlight of our meal was our server Johanna who was fun. Kind and the sweetest You must give this place a try - it's wonderful read more

Food was great however they are definitely short staffed. The staff that was there did the best they could but they need help. Also have eaten at the Common Man and food atmosphere and staff are always on point. I'm wondering why we don't see the same staff at the diner. They are a huge asset. We'll be back!! read more

WOOOOOOOOW!!! Seriously, I went in here yesterday for breakfast with my wife and another couple. Expecting a good run of the mill breakfast (I mean arent they all pretty much the same), I was stunned at how awesome the food was!! I got SOS(Biscuits and gravy) and loved it. My wife had some sausage that I tried and my friends wife had some bacon I tried, again it was so delicious. My buddies wife also had a waffle and offered me a piece and again was blown away (Im not even a waffle/pancake guy). Coffee was great. The service was great from the servers (Regi I think and another gal, Lady named Julie was also checking in, think she was the manager and a guy server who was also on it, polite and knowledgeable). To tell you the truth they could have called me names and punched me I still would have gave it 4 stars because of how awesome this chow was!!! Leo read more

It was our first time at the Lincoln Diner, we want to give an outstanding review for the Hostess" Hot Mess" Laquisha, she had excellent customer service and always maintained a positive approachable manner. The food was very good and the ambiance just made the whole experience "come alive" when Jamie our waitress, signed the paper hat and I wore it out of the diner. She made sure everything was terrific for our first experience. Thank you to both Laquisha and Jamie for their great customer service and hard work. We both purchased t-shirts to advertise the Lincoln diner in Massachusetts. I even showed my 90 year old father today my t-shirt from the Lincoln diner, he thought it was great "Live free and eat".

The diner was friendly, fast, and retro! Good traditional breakfast....It was in the center of quaint town...

Everything was great, wait staff, speed of food, quality of food and the atmosphere of a classic diner, if you sit in the front of the diner. Also catered really well to young children. read more

The food was excellent, the service was fast and friendly, the place was very clean. But I must comment on the hostess, LaQuisha, her work ethic is amazing. She greeted everyone with a sincere smile, seated everyone as quickly as possible. In between she cleared and set tables, packed take out orders and talked to patrons. She is the person you want representing your business. read more
