The best breakfast and lunch on the North Shore. The staff is so friendly and engaging every single time we go there. Great for families as they are so accommodating. Food is high quality, cooked to order and plenty of it. Making it also a great value! These local, low key, friendly, classic New England restaurants are a gift. Go Enjoy!!!!!! read more

We have been here multiple times. I we try something different each time and have never been disappointed. The home fries are the best around!!! We will be back next week. read more

The food was good. The atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately some of the waitresses are not very friendly. They barely checked in with us and at times were borderline rude. read more

We recently spent several days in Swampscott on a family vacation. While out for a walk we noticed everyone lined up for Lincoln's Landing. My parents absolutely love breakfast and we decided to give it a try. The Blueberry French toast was delicious. My dad had eggs and bacon and my mom had the pancakes. My father couldn't stop raving about the food. The staff were friendly and the restaurant is quaint. I would recommend this restaurant if you love breakfast. read more

Hands down one of the best breakfast spots around. The breakfast sandwich on a perfectly flaky croissant was outstanding, paired with some of the best home fries I have ever encountered, crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The homemade muffin was exceptional (the kind you remember), and the sausage links deserve special mention, rich, flavorful, and cooked just right. Simple breakfast food done exceptionally well with the nicest team in a cute seaside location. I'll be telling everyone I know it's worth the trip! read more

Lincoln's Landing - Breakfast Sandwhich and Homefries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

The food is very good. The restaurant is crowded and a bit loud. It has been around for decades now, has reliable, consistent, good food, and because it is a popular place, you often have to wait for a table. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and I got the turkey which is roasted in-house, bacon, cheddar on sourdough panini. So good. I would get exact same thing again. Sammie was big, took half home. Idk water's name, but she was fabulous. Iced decaf was good but not on par with coffee places. I gave 4 stars because it is so crowded and loud and busy that not optimum. Not a place you are able to relax and hang around. But I would definitely go back. read more

Lincoln's Landing - half sandwich to take home, turkey, cheddar, really good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

Lincoln's Landing has some seriously good food, no doubt about it. The breakfast was fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for. The only thing holding this place back from a 5-star rating is the absolutely ridiculous wait time. The line was out the door, and I waited way longer than I should have for a table. If you've got the patience, it's definitely worth a visit--but be prepared to wait a while read more

This was perfect for a great breakfast/brunch. The servers were kind and made suggestions based on preferences expressed. The environment is very welcoming. The iced coffee flavors are brewed so it wasn't too sweet. They have plenty of options for coffee and tea. The menu has options that give you a chance to taste many things at once such as the Lincoln, The Washington, and the sampler etc. The home fries were cooked perfectly and poached eggs and hollandaise were delicious. The ambiance is calm and family friendly. Will be back again. read more

We eat here for breakfast or lunch while we are in Swampscott for the summer. Very friendly service, good food, good selection. Expect service to be a bit slow and relax. Some outdoor seating but inside is fine too. read more

Nice little breakfast spot. We visited on a Sunday morning and there was a good crowd. Food was very good and they made sure to keep my husband's coffee cup full. We all enjoyed our food and would return, when in the area. read more

first time coming in to Lincoln's landing, we sat at a 3 seater bar area and enjoyed having conversations with our two kind waitresses, the chefs were also friendly. they made recommendations on what food to order, including the famous pancakes! we opted for the Washington combo which included french toast, eggs, your choice of protein and home fries. They allowed us to get eggs Benedict with the combo and add fresh fruit to our French toast. Coffee was also great and they offered almond milk! What a win. The vibe and ambiance was homey, perfect for a calm breakfast experience. My sister and i will be back and bringing friends! The highlight waa definitely the family vibe and laughter we shared with the staff! read more

Once again, amazed by my most recent experience. Staff as always is friendly and helpful. Arriving on Saturday around 12, most of the tables were available. We ordered family style again trying their onion rings which hit the spot I didn't even know I needed to itch. For subs we had their steak bomb and chicken kabob, both of which were delicious and fulfilling. I didn't try their western burger but it had those beautiful onion rings on it so must have been good. Wrapping up our meals we have the Belgian waffle with fruit, Nutella stuffed French toast, and the strawberry cheesecake pancakes because we just didn't get enough last time. Absolutely looking forward to my next visit! read more

We are new to the area and thrilled to have found our new regular breakfast spot after trying out a few "just okay" places. The inside tables were all full when we went - always a good sign, but it was Memorial Day Weekend, so a crowd was to be expected especially given the ideal location. We were happy to eat outside despite a bit of a chill in the air so we managed to nab a table without any waiting, but had the weather been nicer I imagine we would not have been so lucky. I ordered a Belgian with Nutella and fruit - it was large and I could finish about half but I would have liked to keep eating as it was pretty fantastic. My husband ordered a combo (I forget the name) with pancakes, bacon, eggs, hash browns. He enjoyed it to the last bite and cleaned his plate which is a rarity for him. We were not forgotten about despite being one of the only parties eating outside - my husband even got his coffee refilled a couple times without having to ask. Last but not least, prices were ideal for a casual diner breakfast. Around $12 a plate. read more

Love this place!! Love the customer service and the food is great. It's a small place so tables fill quickly but they also flip tables quickly, so it's always worth the wait. The s'more pancakes is to die for!! read more

Small place but friendly staff and great food. Went for breakfast and they have plenty to choose from. Coffee was great I had eggs with potatoes and the cinnamon toast was the best. My husband had the Benedict and a V8 he was very happy. read more

This place never disappoints, have been coming here as "our spot" more than 20 years. Today I had literally the freshest, moistest, biggest blueberry pancakes ever! Service was friendly and fast, always hot coffee filled to the brim. Loved that the chef even delivered my sisters French Toast to the table! A+ read more

This place is a must!! It's a cute little spot along the water and perfect for grabbing breakfast. I stopped here as I drove from Boston to Salem. It was convenient and on the way. They have many different specials that seem to very with the seasons. They had awesome looking pumpkin items for fall! We tried the stuffed French toast, an omelette and the eggs Benedict! The potatoes are the most delicious things ever!!!! You have to order the potatoes! French toast was just okay- I wouldn't order that again. The omelette was good and tasted great. The service was fantastic. My coffee cup was never empty. The cook was fast and she seemed to be working all alone but still got everything out very quickly! This is a must stop spot! read more

Lincoln's Landing - Belgian Waffle with Fruit and The Patriot - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

Yum! We stopped in on our way to Salem from Boston! We had been traveling all morning and this place was perfect! My son ordered the s'mores pancakes and they were literally big enough for the entire table to share! Easily could have fed three people! I had the Ashley veggie omelet which was very good. My husband had the eggs Benedict and it was tasty as well. Our waitress Erin was a real treat. So sweet and helpful. Now we just have to find another time to eat here before we leave! read more

Those potatoes, dear me, stank of oil and the taste was terrible. Nothing stand out here, very basic, much better places around the area. read more

Food is very average, but great service makes up for it. Also nice to walk around town while waiting for a table.

We stopped for lunch and it was so tasty! Can't wait to go back to try the breakfast! Place is quaint and the staff super attentive and friendly! Love it at Lincoln's! read more

Heard this place was great - not so on my first visit. Good breakfast food but nothing outstanding. Looked forward to their freshly baked muffins that they "did not get around to " the morning I went. Omelette average size, the best part was the home fries which had a great flavor. Would not rush back. read more

This charming little cafe was an easy walk from the Airbnb I rented. The service was fast and attentive. I ordered a simple bacon and eggs with home fries and a blueberry pancake. Everything was served hot and perfect. I highly recommend the blueberry pancakes.....BEST I've ever had! I will definitely go back for the pancakes if I ever find myself in the area again. The only disappointment I had was the lack of artisan coffee. I would have loved to enjoy a latte with my delicious breakfast! read more

Very small breakfast spot, but really good. The eggs Benedict was good and they give you three eggs and not an obscene amount of potatoes (which are also really good.) They have different kinds of coffee too. I definitely added this as one of my go to spots. read more

Amazing breakfast spot in a great location- right across from the water. I recommend a nice walk after you finish the huge plate of food you will be served. Well worth the money and the staff is super nice. It's a small place and lots of locals stopping by so if there isn't a table, you better just wait because it's worth it! The home fries are the best I have ever tasted so those are a must regardless of what main dish you plan to order. I went with the eggs Benedict with sausage and yummmmmmo! I also got to try the meat lovers omlet that I would highly recommend as well. Glad we found this place on our trip to Salem. read more

Lincoln's Landing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Swampscott, Massachusetts

I was house sitting around the corner so it was super convenient to pick up & to order via Yelp through Grubhub. But for me it's a bit pricey for basic breakfast foods! The food was OK. Nothing to rave about. All and all decent experience. read more

Great place, good food, nice vibe. Small bar. Good eggs Benedict, they make me an avocado Benedict even though it's not on the menu.

This is a nice local breakfast/ lunch spot in swampscott. I would definitely recommend the turkey club- it is probably my absolute favorite. Service is good and the food is always delicious. read more

I frequent Lincoln's landing when I am looking for a nice brunch around the area. Truly one of the best places I have ate at, god bless my friend who told me about this place. My boyfriend and I ordered a spinach, mushroom and cheese omelette, a meat lovers omelette, and a strawberry cheesecake pancake. The order took a while but also, we did come in 45 minutes before closing and it was quite busy. As we both have worked in restaurants before, we completely understood that there would be a wait and we totally didn't mind because the food is just bomb.com Once we received the order, it was so appetizing that I forgot to take a picture because we were starving! We ate the whole thing, that's how you know it was good! It was delicious, the ambiance was *chefs kiss*, and the hospitality was superb. Definitely recommend this place for a filling breakfast or lunch! read more

Great bacon egg and cheese I ate here. It was walking distance from Ocean House Surf and Skate and I ate here for a quick pick me up before renting a surfboard and paddling out read more

Great local restaurant. Came on a Sunday when it is breakfast only - delicious! Pancakes were fluffy and you can order real maple syrup. Loved the home fries - crispy potatoes that were soft on the inside. I really enjoyed the experience and after you can walk across the street and walk along the beach. A must visit if you are in the area. read more

Oh my good the nicest group of people and this is my 2nd time here. Even with a long line I was able to get a spot at the bar within 15 minutes. It seems that my order did not go through, the crew apologized and canceled my bill. I recommend if you are the area. My only regret is not having enough cash for a tip but I will be back. read more

Love this little family owned breakfast spot. Great breakfast at an excellent value. Breakfast parking on weekends is usually acceptable, and during the weekdays the wait is pretty quick. Friendly staff, good hash, great portions, and the best home fries I've ever had. I have not had them, but I hear the pancakes are a real winner. read more

Ever since moving here in 2018, I've been stuck on Reds sandwich shop for breakfast... Their eggs Benedict sauce is too good for words. Found Lincoln Landing randomly, and am now adding them to a weekly rotation between them and Red's. Hollandaise sauce not as good as Red's but love the three eggs on top. Potatoes cooked much better, as Reds always undercook theirs. There's too much salt on everything, but I always take half home, so cook it up again with another egg and chop up the potatoes more, and it's perfect. I wish I could ask them not to use such strong-smelling table wipes. I very much appreciate the clean tables, but the smell from the wipes overpowers everything. If I am seated, and they wipe down the table, I pray to the food gods that the smell dissipates before my food comes. Otherwise, all I smell and taste is ammonia. Service is fast and friendly, portions are great and prices reasonable! read more

Great place . Very busy on weekends do go early...Food and service very good and reasonably priced to boot!
