Had our 2nd breakfast here at this location. This time I tried corned beef hash with eggs. Their biscuit was huge and came with fresh-made strawberry jam. read more

This place is a fun and welcoming place. The food isn't as fresh but still delicious. The prices were very fair as well. They also take bigger parties for those who need it for a brunch. The service was pretty good and we received everything as requested. The breakfast quesadilla was pretty good and so filling. I was able to take left overs!!! I would return! read more

I was in the area after leaving an early meeting and ran across this location. This makes my 5th location! It's very new, so it was brightly lit and welcoming. I was warmly greeted and promptly seated at a table for people watching near a window facing the State House. It was mostly empty when I arrived but soon pickup to a full house by the time I left. I went with my usual Lincoln Square meal: waffles meal that includes 2 bacon, 2 sausage, eggs and mini waffles and the BEST coffee. My meal was delivered fast and hot! My serve although busy, asked to replenish my coffee several times. I'll have to try to stop in again before my part-time job soon. read more

I was not feeling well and wanted a healthy breakfast so I looked on Uber Eats and found Lincoln Square Pancake House. They had an old fashioned oatmeal and fresh fruit bowl, so I decided to go with that for breakfast. It was good for oatmeal, and the fresh fruit bowl was very fresh and tasted amazing. I ordered through Uber Eats because I was not feeling well, so I did not make it to the actual restaurant. I have seen the restaurant before and looked through the window, so I could tell that it definitely has the feel of a pancake house, with the wood paneling on the walls and the tables with wooden countertops and old fashioned booths. It does appear to have a nice, old fashioned ambiance. I cannot speak to the service since I was not at the restaurant, but from what friends have told me, the service is hit or miss. Some of my friends have said the service is very slow, and others have said the service is wonderful. I will have to visit the restaurant myself in person sometime soon to get the full dining experience. For now, based on the food , it was decent and good, and I enjoyed it very much. Once I visit the restaurant in person and get the full dining experience at Lincoln Square Pancake House, I will be able to provide a better review. read more

Not just greeted with warm smiles, but hot coffee and swift service with accuracy! Bright clean and refreshing atmosphere that is family friendly too! The food is not just nut delicious, but beautifully plated and presented... I'm full just eating with my eyes. GOOD and PLENTY too. Only suggestion would be that there needs to be more cheese in the omelette. read more

Craving a quick breakfast, I called Lincoln Square on Ditch Rd., and my food was ready in 10 minutes. The staff was friendly, answering all my questions, and the service was just as good when I picked it up. It was packed when I arrived, with a steady stream of customers. I ordered the Lincoln Skillet with pancakes and fresh-squeezed orange juice. The over-easy eggs, crispy hash browns, bacon, and tasty gravy were all spot on. The pancake, nearly as big as the container, was a nice choice, and the orange juice was delicious. I'll definitely be back to dine in soon--this spot is now in my breakfast rotation. read more

Tried a brand new dish called Bubble Waffle: thin Waffle that actually has bubbles instead of pockets, topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and ice cream. Also, you get a choice for toppings: Caramel drizzle or Chocolate drizzle. Tip: it's great if you smear all the ice cream and whipped cream over the top of the waffle. That way you the great taste in every bite! And the edges are crunchy This is my Favorite Breakfast/Lunch restaurant! I love the 'family' vibes Staff is the best read more

Lincoln Square Pancake House on Ditch Road is my go-to breakfast location when visiting my sister and niece in Indy. Even though they are always packed on Saturday mornings, we do not feel claustrophobic, the food is consistently good, and the services is prompt.

Lincoln Square Pancake House is a staple for breakfast in Indianapolis. I'm glad to see more locations opening up around the city. I love their breakfast, they have the staples as well as unique offerings on a classic breakfast. The menu is huge, and everyone should be able to find something they like. I love the banana bread French toast with the eggs, bacon and sausage!! The banana bread is cut thick and served with all the right toppings. It pairs perfectly with black coffee, served in their classic mug. Our service was quick and it was busy as usual. You can't beat the service, quality of food and pricing! read more

I really like this restaurant. The food is always good. The service is always excellent and it's a pleasant place to have your morning meal.

This is my first time ever going to this place. There was ample parking, and as we walked in, there is an open waiting area. To the right of the hostess stand is where you pay and place to go orders. We were seated right away when we walked in. I order pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, and coffee. They give you 3 large pancakes that are to die for, and the bacon was crispy. The hashbrown were so so and tasted a bit like vinegar. Our server was excellent and provided phenomenal service. read more

The staff here is friendly, attentive, and they do a great job taking care of us and addressing any issues with our order that may come up. The restaurant and bathrooms are kept clean, and the restaurant maintains a friendly atmosphere. The food is well-made and delicious. I also like that I can order breakfast or lunch any time, whether it's morning or afternoon. I feel that the value for what you get is pretty well balanced. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants, and this location especially is one of my favorites. read more

Good spot for breakfast. Friendly server today and she did a great job. We both got the exact same meal. Meat Lovers Omelette without onions or peppers. Both good. Very fluffy and full of meat and cheese. Hashbrowns were ok but could have been crispier. No one seems to get that right when we say crispy. The French toast option for bread is great it is so good. Served with cinnamon butter and warm syrup. Since changing over from Lincoln Square this location seems to be cleaner and always busy. read more

It's no secret that I'm a fan of the 10-location Indiana-based Lincoln Square Pancake House, a family-owned breakfast/brunch chain that has somehow managed to only get better amidst the challenges of a global pandemic. I live near the location at 56th and Emerson and yet I've found an overall consistency from location to location in terms of quality food, genuine hospitality, and fair prices. So, I knew when I heard that a new spot had opened up in the former Hotcakes Emporium location that it wouldn't be long before I would check it out. A holiday weekend provided the perfect opportunity to wake up early and head on over. This location has three accessible parking spots, though only two genuinely meet ADA guidelines. All were taken when I arrived. However, I found a spot at the end of a parking row and it worked well for my wheelchair. As much as I love Lincoln Square, I will admit it got one strike against it fairly quickly here. There's a curb cut between the two ADA parking spots. This curb cut is far from ADA compliant and is actually unsafe. It's steep with an abrupt turn to the right to get to the door. I've wheeled from Indianapolis to Chicago three times - I tried this ramp three times and couldn't do it without risking a flip. Fortunately, a customer came along who was willing to help out and I got inside. Unsurprisingly, exiting was much easier since it was actually headed down. There's a double glass-door entryway that leads directly into the hosting area slightly to the right and the dining areas slightly to the right. I like that there's some sectioning off here as it gives greater privacy and keeps things from getting too noisy. This location hasn't been open long and word is still getting out. I was able to get a table immediately. It was a two-top, not always my favorite, but it was a big enough table that I was comfortable. As other reviews have noted, Lincoln Square has done quite a bit of clean-up here. It's far from fancy, but Hotcakes Emporium was definitely on the divey side. Lincoln Square is more clean and simple. The menu seemed somewhat different since my last visit. Lincoln Square serves breakfast and lunch. Generally, I find myself happier with breakfast options. I opted for an order of French Toast with a side of hash browns and my usual unsweetened iced tea. The menu is a little confusing - there's an indication you can substitute turkey bacon or sausage directly above these items. That, at least to me, indicates that there's a side that comes with it (what else would you substitute?). However, no side came with it. That was for the best, however, since this was a lot more food than I expected. It seems like a more substantial meal than it used to be. Lincoln Square's bread for French Toast comes from Scholars Bakehouse, an Indiana bakehouse. It's definitely an upgrade from the prior French Toast option. The hash browns were a decent serving, though more on the simple and ordinary side. My server was Paulina. She was an absolute gem. She was friendly, helpful, and she smiled literally every time she was at my table. She did call me "sir," a painful reminder that I was probably older enough to be her father or, gasp, grandfather. She also made sure I got my always desired refill of iced tea. You pay at the cash register when you leave. You could tell the employees were still learning, but they were friendly and apologetic when they had a minor glitch. I found it endearing. Overall, this was definitely the usual Lincoln Square hospitality and quality. My meal, because I ordered a side, came in just under $18. That's more than I would usually spend, but I was fine with it. It came with more food than I could actually finish. I can't go a 5-star due to the accessibility concerns and slight menu confusion and I'm hoping the ramp gets addressed at some point. Of course, this is likely a landlord issue. However, it impacts the dining experience and is worth noting. They also have a few outdoor tables that face West 86th Street. With 10 locations all in Central Indiana, I doubt I'd go out of my way to come back to this one - especially due to accessibility. However, Paulina's service was so top-notch that it would almost be worth returning simply for her service. As an added note, I noticed there were multiple staff members who were bilingual (Spanish, English) and those who would benefit from Spanish-speaking staff would likely be quite comfortable here. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

There are Lincoln Squares opening up all over the city and with good reason. The food is just good and cheap. This location was previously a different breakfast place, but Lincoln Square has upped the game by a good cleaning (it was pretty old and dirty before) and some light remodeling. Eggs, hash browns, and pancakes are good here which is a good sign for any breakfast place. read more

I debated between three and four stars. If I was only going on taste, it would probably be three. However, if you were here when this place was Hotcakes, you'd know what an upgrade it has been. They've renovated and it feels much more open and less cluttered. It is also much, MUCH cleaner than before. Staff was friendly and they were fully staffed. There was a long lag in between our server getting our order, checking on us, etc., but we were there on the second day they opened, so I can't expect too much. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we received. The iced tea was good and I enjoyed the pancakes. The biscuits and gravy were a bit disappointing. The gravy was not super flavorful and there was very little sausage (check out my picture, which shows just a couple slices of sausage link). However, a good douse of hot sauce gets the job done. The hash browns were perfect in both quality and quantity. I'll definitely be back. I'm curious about their lunch offerings. read more

I have been to most of the Lincoln Squares including the downtown area ones by the hospitals. This one is just not the same. The food is good but this one is just not the same as the others. Waitstaff was good. Just not my go to now that I live on this side of town. The location is on a corner, good parking and the restaurant itself is a pretty good size. The food quality is just lacking from what I have had at the other locations. Hmm, guess we need to give it another try. read more

My goodness, the flavor of everything! The food is so very good and Emma our server was amazing! We were in the city for the game and decided to grab breakfast before heading home.

We swung in with a party of five while out thrift shopping and it was a nice meal! The location has ample parking, outdoor seating in the summer months, big comfy booths for bigger parties (like ours) and a large menu to choose from. Omelettes come with fresh ingredients and your choice of toast, biscuits, pancakes, or French toast so portions are BIG for the price. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Pros: What I stated above, plus the pancakes, hazelnut drizzle crepes, and French toast were delicious! Also, I really enjoyed the single-use unisex bathrooms for our family. Small win in a busy world. Cons: No drink menu though they serve mimosas, juices, and Pepsi products. Our waitress was kind, but the customer service from the remaining staff was a bit lacking from the phone call I made ahead of our arrival, to the hostess who seated us, to even the woman who took our payment at the end of the meal. Sometimes a smile and friendly face go a long way in making people feel welcome so it was sadly missed on this visit. Note: This was a new location for our family and friends to try as we have been to others in the Indy area but we were excited to stop in nonetheless. If you're looking for a nice, clean, brunch spot to visit with friends- Lincoln Square is always a good choice. read more

Service was horrible, she was rude. I also got charged $11 for avocado toast and it was one piece of bread and not even avocado on the whole toast.

Phenomenally above-board service thanks to floor leader Penny. She went out of her way to help out a table who'd been waiting a while and helped out the server who (through no fault of her own) was running behind, and she asked for nothing in return. That's the kind of empathic and attentive person you want on the floor. Made my experience here more than worthwhile. Excellent food AND service. Thanks Penny! read more
