Well this is an extremely busy place on the weekends. But the staff is indeed hustling to get everyone in and waited on. I can't even imagine what a race that must be in the kitchen. Wow. I was impressed. And yet they crank out delicious food, plate after plate... usually the quality suffers when the restaurant is this busy, but not here. And the service remains friendly and the wait for food isn't even very long. Everything we ordered was wonderful. The portions were large and the prices very reasonable. My friend swears she had the best pancakes of her life... she still carries on about those pancakes months after our visit read more

Yum!! This is a great breakfast spot with many locations in the Indianapolis area. Portion sizes are huge - I had enough for breakfast the next morning too. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon is crispy. Pancakes are fluffy and we all enjoyed our meals! They do have a time limit and seating is limited so you can't really linger here because they will need your table. read more

Fabulous food! Fabulous staff! Lincoln square has grown into a local breakfast/brunch power house! They now have restaurants all over the greater Indy area and they are all great. My go to is the Alex Skillet. But today I went for the breakfast tacos and they did not disappoint. A bit spicy with the chorizo and Yummm My daughter went for the southwest chicken melt with fries and coleslaw ... she said it was all delicious! She absolutely loves their coleslaw! Whether you live in the Indy area or are just passing through Lincoln Square should be on your breakfast/brunch list! read more

This has recently became my go to spot for weekend breakfast. I do think the prices are a little bit higher than some of the other standard breakfast places in the area, which is what I would say this is too. It has been too long since I've been to other Lincoln Squares to really rate it compared to the others. I also sometimes get frustrated by their inability to make even minor substitutions and who makes a meal with hashbrowns included in the description but for an extra charge it seems like a small cash grab. With all that said, I keep going back because the food is tasty and the overall value is good. I really like their French toast and the strawberry preserve that is on every table is delicious. We will keep on frequenting this place at breakfast time along with a few others. read more

Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend!! I had the Chimichanga Breakfast Burrito with chorizo and it was wonderful. read more

This is a go to for a casual yet delicious meal. My Mom is a big fan so we met one of her friends for lunch. I wasn't sure what to get until I found out they make their own spanakopita. Mind blowing! This spot has some fun favorites and breakfast is always a good option. The spanakopita takes a bit to make as they do it to order, but it was flaky and full of spinach and feta (real Greek feta), and melted in our mouths. It comes with two sides so you can bill it up a bit of go light. I went light with Cole slaw which was nice and tangy. A fun spot that has something for everyone, and prices are reasonable for what you get. We will be back! read more

Poor quality food and poor service. Although it is cheap. Just a hole in the wall diner which has outlived its decor.

Don't buy gift cards for there. I tried using one I got for Christmas and was informed I needed to know the balance. I told her and she responded they were having trouble with these cards and I should pay another way and call the number on the card and see if they can fix it. Won't be back. read more

No nonsense place. Food: not exceptional but not bad either. I had the pancakes (good!) and health chicken crease/scrambled egg combo. It was filling and priced right. Service: To the point. Not rude but but overtly cheerful, fake smile (a good thing) Ambience: not a hoity toity, IG famous place. You won't impress a date here but if you want a filling Sunday brunch, you can't go wrong ! Would I return ? Yes! read more

Been here several times over the years, and have always had good experiences. The French toast is my go-to on their menu. Portion sizes aren't an issue here, so definitely bring an appetite. If you're planning to go on a weekend, get up early. Even with the size of their dining room, they fill up fast and you may be in for a wait if you don't. read more

This place lives up to the hype. The building doesn't look like much -- "vintage" maybe is the word I'm looking for, and I don't mean that in a negative way -- because the real draw here is the food. This is excellent breakfast food. Perhaps the best on this side of town. No one at my table had any complaints, and we all ordered different things. Service was great, even with the place being a little busy. (Though according to my friend, not nearly as busy as they usually are.) I'll absolutely be back. read more

This was my first time dining in but I have ordered carryout before. We had a great experience. We were greeted right away and all the staff were friendly. The restaurant was about half full on a Saturday morning around 7:30. The menu is huge. I definitely wanted one of everything. I ended up with the veggie scrambler that came with aside of hash browns, pancakes, and fruit. All the fruits and veggies tasted so fresh. It's little bit older of a building but don't let that deter you. It was decorated up for Father's Day/summer when we were there. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a classic go-to breakfast spot for my family and has been for years. The service is always great with quick seating and coffee refills! The omelets are a great deal with the omelet, hash browns & French toast. The food is always fresh and tastes great! Their seasonal pumpkin pancakes are also a must! read more

My girlfriend and I try tons of breakfast places and this is the favorite by far in Indy! Fast service, awesome diner feel and great food. They have homemade strawberry jelly I put on my waffles- highly recommend!! read more

The service was amazing and the server was so quick. The location is always busy and yet you do not wait long for a seat or your food. And the breakfast was amazing! I loved the syrup they kept at the table! It was very addicting to put on my pancakes! Will be back! read more

Wife & I tried Lincoln Square for the first time in a long time. Overall it was..... meh. Not horrible but not as good as either of us remembered. Service was very friendly & although not crowded we did lose our waitress it seems when refills were needed. Thankfully another staff member say te issue & jumped in. We both had breaded tenderloin sandwiches as an entree. More on those in a second. My wife felt the Cole slaw was so so & we both thought the cottage cheese was decent. I asked for crispy fries & they were that! They also had no seasoning on them whatsoever which made them pretty bland. On the tenderloins the buns were very nice. Toasted but soft. Exactly how they were supposed to be. The tenderloins themselves? Very chewy. When you would try to take a bite the breading would come off but not the meat. In honesty it was a mediocre tenderloin. Also have NO idea if there was a cause & effect but glad we were dining close to home as we both had to make urgent bathroom runs. ‍ The bottom line for us is I think we are fine if we stick to breakfast items because the tenderloins would definitely not want to make folks come back. read more

Always good food. Great service my only complaint is that they serve Pepsi not Coke. The best pancakes I have ever eaten

We are always pleased with our food. The omelettes and French toast are delicious. They make their own strawberry jam too. The service is great too! The only thing I'd say needs improvement is their booths need updating. read more

Definitely I do have plans to go back. This plate is normally not assembled this way, I requested things separate. Due to never having guacamole with eggs...I never knew the combo would of been so good! I even came home and made.some.myself to see if I could mimic this delicious plate. However it wasn't the same without the environment, and the sweet waitresses that waited my table. I would like to say...give them a try! I plan to go back to try other plates on the menu. read more

First thing I noticed was the Easter decorations which I thought was cute. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted immediately and seated. It's Saturday noon time and it was very busy, I wanted a booth but they looked all occupied so I settled for a table because I was hungry. Our server was friendly, she instantly asked for drink orders. Hubby and I ordered fresh squeezed orange juice, (yes they have it), and it is sooooo delicious, you have to indulge! You can order small or large and of course we got larges, I can drink it so fast because it's that good. I needed a little time to figure out my order because I was craving something different. I normally order regular breakfast but today I was feeling out of the ordinary, and they have a lot of options on their menu. I opted for the Nutella crepes, with a side of bacon. My hubby ordered an egg white veggie omelet, subbed the hash browns for German potatoes and toast with their home made jam. I wasn't that pleased with the Nutella crepes. The fruit on it was good but the actually crepe tasted like cardboard, I think the fixings helped me be able to tolerate it but I won't order that again. Sometimes trying something different is disappointing, but hey it's adventure! Their strawberry homemade jam was tasty, and the German potatoes were very good. My hub wasn't super pleased with his omelette but he said it was ok. One thing I wasn't too happy about was that it was so cold inside it makes it harder to enjoy my food. Outside weather was cold and windy, so I would think they would have some heat but maybe not because it was busy? Idk, but I definitely didn't want to spend anymore time in there than needed. read more

This diner has very good breakfast food. I had the fruit covered french toast, with a side of hash brown and corn beef hash. It was pretty good. It was flavorful and the fruit was very fresh. The french toast was fluffy and the sides were huge. I left there stuffed. They have a typical brunch menu with breakfast and lunch items such as burgers, wraps, and sandwiches. My server, Katie, was absolutely awesome. They have COVID precautions in place. All the booths are separated by plexiglass and they are limiting seating. The restaurant is pretty open and it has an old diner feel to it. It does get kind of loud in there. Well at least while I was there. They have adequate parking and masks are required until you are seated. It is too early to call this my go-to brunch spot, but this place is solid and my meal was good. read more

Wanted someplace for a late breakfast that was close to where I was staying and local. Always get a ham, onion, and cheese omelet with home fries. Had a biscuit for a side instead of just plain bread and a cuppa coffee. The coffee was ok. Wasn't a fan of the biscuit, seemed doughy to me and forever to chew but somehow flaked apart on the plate...hmm. The omelet, whole I thought was also just okay. Nothing has been sitting right. My stomach has been turning since. While the atmosphere was nice, staff was friendly and oddly had a smell that reminded me of my grandmother's...NOT a bad smell, lol! I would maybe try again, just not breakfast for me. read more

I went for breakfast this morning and had the create your own omelet, hash browns and pancakes. Everything was delicious.

Lincoln Square Pancake House - Berry Crepes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This spot was great even with the pandemic service was spaced apart and the food was delicious. There is a one hour time limit Upon receiving food which is reasonable to see since they are using half capacity and need to be able to turn tables quicker then normal. The food was good with large portions given. French toast was fluffy not stale or anything very fresh. The eggs were cold coming out and hash browns were way under cooked so those were left on the plate. I did try to eat them but the crunch and cold made me think it was taken off way to early and by crunch i mean the raw imitation potato type crunch taste not appetizing. The coffee was hot fresh and refilled on time the sweet tea was not overly powered either so refreshments were great. Over good experience for the raw hash and cold eggs is why three stars oh and the gravy was very cold not sure what happen there with it but if it was hot and tasted fresh and fully cooked hash could have easily been four or five stars. read more

We went up to Greenwood Indiana to have lunch with my sister and to make a shopping trip to Costco. We wanted to check out the Lincoln Square pancake house as they will soon open a site in Bloomington. Make no bones about it this is your old fashioned diner with average and above average food.

I decided to have breakfast at this location recently. I kept hearing about it, and it also has great reviews on Yelp. I ordered my usual standard; an eggs benedict variation. It was very good. I would recommend eating there. And judging by how busy it was, as well as the friendly service, there's no doubt this business is thriving. All the other various basic breakfasts looked great too. Maybe next time I will try the biscuits and gravy. ;o) read more

Per usual on a Saturday morning there was a wait. Luckily, it was a very short wait. They were really busy and our service was a little bit slow but not excessively so. We had our food very quickly per usual. It was so good! This place rarely disappoints. My eggs were perfectly over medium. My bacon crispy but not too crispy. My hash browns perfectly crispy on both sides and soft and hot in the middle. I love that they have rye toast. Mine was perfectly toasted. The coffee is always hot and fresh as it was this time. My hubby is on keto right now and ordered a skillet. He ate very little of the hash browns that they sit on top of and said that his was really good. He had the Alex skillet and loved the avocado. read more

This breakfast and lunch spot located on the southside doesn't look like much on the outside but it's nice inside. I've been to this place a few times before. The service is always okay and the food is excellent. It can get busy and the tables can be a little close together but it's a nice local option for breakfast. I had the French toast platter this time and really enjoyed the cinnamon butter. They overdid my bacon a bit but it was fine- eggs were fluffy. read more

Note - they do have a bar so if you have a small group this is one way to bypass the wait. read more

Had to drop our car off for a service call and decided to grab breakfast. We found a Lincoln square and it was delicious. First off they were socially distanced well in the booth they had plexiglass in between each booth . We had a extremely nice waitress that made our experience great. I had a create your own omelette that was good and meaty with a side of pancakes , my husband got a skillet with sausage gravy that he said was delicious, my son had pancake eggs and bacon which he destroyed ( he is only 2 ). Overall amazing experience. read more

Cute diner near the Capitol. It was quiet! But maybe the legislature isn't in session? REALLY strong coffee.

We came here for a quick breakfast one morning with the family, looking for a quick home style breakfast before dropping someone off at the airport. We got seated right away, welcoming staff and greeter, really made us feel like home. The restaurant itself is nothing spectacular, looks just like a family diner. We ordered a wide variety of breakfast foods, and everything came out quickly. Everything was hot and fresh, clearly homemade. Delicious hash browns, perfect mix of tender potatoes and crispy fried outside. One of us got the hash browns mixed with toppings and they were phenomenal. Pancakes are fresh and tender, taste like they were homemade right in your kitchen. Crispy outside, and decent size. Definitely interested in trying the many options they have for pancake batter and toppings. Sausage made fresh in house amazing. Bacon perfectly crispy. Hands down our favorite breakfast place on the south side. Will definitely be back again and again. Highly recommended. read more

I met a friend for breakfast at Lincoln Square. We'd never dined at this Madison Avenue location and a late breakfast sounded perfect that day. Parking is located on both sides of the restaurant and handicapped parking is available. The double doors are fairly heavy and made it difficult for my friend to open by herself. The menu offers breakfast served all day from breakfast bowls, breakfast tacos, waffles, crepes, pancakes, omelettes, French toast (try the Cinnamon French Toast), eggs benedicts to biscuits and gravy. There is something for most and healthy options are available. I had 2 eggs scrambled, 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy, hash browns and bacon. Everything was hot, fresh and prepared well. My friend had the traditional Eggs Benedict with a split English muffin, Canadian bacon, 2 poached eggs topped with hollandaise sauce and served with hash browns. She said it was good and the eggs were prepared the way she prefers. If you're not in the mood for breakfast the lunch menu has many tasty selections. Burgers, melts, several wraps, tenderloins, clubs and salads are a few of your lunch options. Our server was terrific, wore a mask, checked on us many times, removed used dishes quickly and refilled our beverages timely. They do have a time limit posted of 1 hour per table due to the limited number of tables available. It wasn't enforced with us and appears it's mainly for peak hours. Stop in Lincoln Square for a good meal, affordable prices and a great selection. read more
