Great service with even greater food. Had a lovely time with my fam for breakfast. We were greeted upon arrival with smiles. Then seated. Scrolled the menu and they had so many options to choose from. Waitress was so kind and patient. She asked all the right questions and also gave all the right answers and information. The place was spacious and clean. I appreciate a nice establishment. Will be back and would love service from the same wait staff. Thanks
Pretty good food, not bad! Service was good as well Very happy they condensed their menu because it used to be overwhelming before lol. And my L.I.T was actually hitting
I've come to this diner a few times, and it's pretty solid. We came here for breakfast but their whole menu was pretty much available. Some people got buttermilk pancakes (the kids got ice cream on top), while others got a burger, the captain's feast, and I just got an omelette with their home fries. The omelette was ok, but I'm a big fan of their fries. The atmosphere was chill. I've seen the lines get long later in the day.
Let me say this first: the servers and customer service are the BEST. I honestly wish every place had service like this. They deserve raises -- you can tell they're genuinely happy to be at work, and that kind of positive energy makes a huge difference. The diner is clean, beautifully decorated, and even the bathroom is nice with great music playing in it. Now for the food experience... unfortunately, it wasn't great. I ordered the Latino Grill for Two and asked for no tomatoes because my sister is allergic. It still came with tomatoes. I requested my skirt steak medium rare, and it came well done. On top of that, the food and veggies were cold. We ate a little and took the rest home to warm up ourselves. The manager came over to ask how everything was, and I was honest about being unhappy with the food being wrong and cold. I suggested that if they're going to serve this dish, it needs to come out on a sizzling hot plate. He suggested putting a top on it, but that won't help -- a lid won't fix cold food. The flavor was good, but I don't recommend this dish unless it's served on a hot plate. It's a waste of money to order food in a restaurant only to have to take it home to heat it up. I go out to eat in the restaurant, not to warm up my food later. You received 3 stars for the customer service, wonderful servers and the clean environment.
Again a big favorite in Brooklyn for being the diner with the awesome variety of cuisine entrees freshly baked cakes pies frozen margaritas appetizers the most extensive menu of house specials diverse cuisine Caribbean and Latin specialties.The ambience is very family friendly entertainment big screen televisions waitstaff that give service with a smile.
This honestly has to be one of the most consistent spots around. I have literally been here over 100 times and I've never had a bad experience with the food or service! I love the fact that a lot of the staff are the same from when I first started going in 2011. That tells me that they likely take care of their people. The service is always friendly, quick, and efficient and the manager Frankie is such a sweetheart. They've def upgraded the decor in here with some nice graffiti style paintings, true to Brooklyn/NY. There is plenty of space and they even have outdoor for when it's nice out. If you've never been here you are missing out (especially on the Cajun crab legs!). If you HAVE been here then you know and will attest that nothing about their food is diner quality! It's wayyy above it! Also, the portion sizes and price point are great! You def will not leave hungry. This review covers my 4 visits in the last month. Drinks: my go to is always the frozen mango coconut margarita. It never disappoints. I've also had the sangrita, blue passion, and palmarita recently, they were good but the mango coconut marg still my fave. Prices average $16-18. Food: I've literally never had a bad dish here except for the jerk wings. The baked clams have to be the best in BK! They are to die for! Every. Single. Time! The Cajun crab legs are also amazing! You can get it as an app for $16 per cluster or they have it has meal and seafood boil options. The buffalo wings, Seafood scampi, seafood fra diavolo, chicharrones with rice and beans (daily special menu), spaghetti and meatballs (daily special menu), baby back ribs are all honorable mentions. I'm pretty sure the chef put his/her foot in those beans! Why did I order 2 extras!
A Brooklyn staple in the crest of ENY, they make you feel like family as soon as you step in the door. Hostess and servers are cheery, funny and incredibly sweet. There was a bit of a wait to order since I went with a big party and it was the holiday season. But it didn't even feel like an issue because I was having such a good time with my family. Y'all know how much I love my seafood AND they do claim to have the best crab legs in BK CAN CONFIRM! I also shared some of the seafood fettuccini with my mom and that too was really good! A beautiful medley of the sea, with scallops, clams, mussels, baby shrimp and crab legs. If you've never been here, rectify that soon!
The Carrot Cake Ruined It. I was this close to giving Lindenwood Diner a full five stars. Like hand hovering over the screen close. And then... the carrot cake happened. Let me start with the good because there is a LOT of good here. I went twice in the past two weeks because I try my best not to judge a place off one visit. Consistency matters. And baby, Lindenwood Diner is consistent. The Seafood Scampi is a must. Fresh clams, muscles, a good portion of crab with claws included. It's that girl period! The char grilled burgers awesome as well. Juicy, seasoned, cooked how you ask. The salad with the homemade French dressing is elite. I need that recipe. The coffee is endless, as diner coffee should be. The fried shrimp and the fish and grits were okay, not life changing but quality and solid. Everything is made to order and came out fresh. I also like that the menu is very diverse and inclusive. Customer service also deserves a shout. We had a small hiccup and the manager fixed it immediately. No attitude. No excuses. Just solutions. Love that. Now... the cake. I was literally walking out, minding my business, when I saw another patron eating the carrot cake. It looked GOOD good. So I doubled back like, let me grab a slice. Big mistake. The cake tasted like a boxed spice cake pretending to be carrot cake. The frosting did not taste like cream cheese frosting. And the shredded carrots on the outside felt like a costume, not an ingredient as the cake itself was plain. It was simply not the carrot cake I was hoping for and for 9 bux, I was a bit let down. If you have a sweet tooth, do yourself a favor and order the pineapple coconut cake or the strawberry cheesecake and leave the carrot cake exactly where it is. That said, parking is free, portions are big, service is great, and everything else absolutely hits. So yes, four stars. Because if that carrot cake had minded its business, this would have been a clean five.
As always service was great. They do a good job making you feel at home. Today I tried the ackee and salt fish. It was really really good. It came with yucca fries and garlic oil. I also had a side of salmon hash. That was also good.
You know as soon as you walk in and get a 'good morning!' It's just better here. The food is delicious. The service is professional. The servers act as if you are family. The place is beautiful. It's just BETTER here. I don't know how, or why. Just is.
Great place for the family to enjoy. The breakfast was wonderful. We were immediately seated, did not have to wait long for our food and beverage. The price was reasonable.
Lindenwood Diner & Restaurant don't ever disappoint. Delicious fresh food. Think of this diner as a international diner of food options and choices. Service is always excellent and right on point. Bartender makes delicious drinks. My piña colada was on the money honeyyyy. It's always clean. Booth seating, bar seating and seating outsdie The bread basket is good.
I love coming to this diner for some delicious food and a good drink. This where I had my first drink when I was 21. Excited to pull out my id. Service is always great and friendly. Extremely clean. Spacious. Love this diner so much
A pretty solid Diner and a satisfactory trip to the way there. It's definitely a popular joint, despite the pretty massive size of the spot, there were a lot of people there on a Tuesday morning. Despite the traffic, service time didn't take a hit from it. The waitress kindly took my order and I got all of my food within 10 minutes. I had the Fried Mozzarella for a starter, Chicken Caesar Honey Wrap with waffle fries for the entree and Iced Tea because I figured dessert would be too much for both my appetite and wallet. The Fried Mozzarella pieces had a type of pull that you would expect and one I haven't seen in awhile. It was delightful in taste and texture. The Ceasar Wrap and Waffle Fries were very filling. It was very good but it felt like I over ordered on food again so I finished as much as I could. I've had a pretty good meal at a fair enough price. The place has a lot to offer so you'll find something there. read more
I still can't not say this but NY Diners are not your typical diners for anyone who is not from NY. These diners are restaurants in disguise !!! lol But as any diner there is a very extensive menu and something for every palate. We came after church for a birthday brunch. And the tunes were all gospel. The serve me was nice and attentive. This menu is Caribbean at heart 'n You can expect the over the top desserts. I had their bacalitos and jerk Salmon and we had a cheesecake for dessert. This bread basket with onion bread and cornbread nice and warm is a hit !! read more

Was pretty excited to try this place and it was okay overall. The menu is huge, so there are options for everyone. I wish I would have tried something else. The pork chop was a little dry and not too flavorful. The eggs were cooked well and the potatoes weren't my favorite. The service was excellent and it had a nice family feeling to it. You could tell there are a lot of regulars who go there weekly. It was a clean restaurant and perfect for talking. read more

This is one of my favorite diners, but why would they give me burnt scraped toast. I'm so disappointed. I spent $37.00 on takeout breakfast read more
The interior was colorful and cool. I came here with a large group and we were seated in the spacious back area with booth seating. Upon getting settled, we were served complimentary cornbread, rolls, as well as focaccia. The cornbread was oh so soft and buttery. I knew I wanted to stick with seafood here, so I ordered the Alaskan Snow Crab Leg cluster and Shrimp Mac and Cheese. For the Crab Leg, I selected the scampi garlic butter which was delicious, but quite messy. This came with a bib and cracker for the shell. The crab meat was fresh, tender, while the scampi garlic butter was delightfully well seasoned with actual bits of garlic. The Shrimp Mac and Cheese was wonderfully rich, creamy with plenty of satisfying melty cheese and a ton of juicy, succulent shrimp throughout. Service was pretty good and efficient, especially considering the large size of the group. Prices were reasonable as well. I'm not sure I will be back as it is a bit out of the way from me. read more

It's been awhile since I've dined at Lindenwood Diner & Restaurant. The food has always been delicious and it's good to see that it hasn't changed a bit. Paula was our server and she was extremely attentive and provided excellent service to our party of 7. The restaurant looks great and music was good as well. We enjoyed our time and food at Lindenwood Diner & Restaurant. read more
This 1 Star review is totally based on their desert.... We were craving cheesecake and we all know that 99.9 % of the diners always have the best creamy & fresh cakes but not over here ... So disappointed especially at $ 10.00 a slice; omg !! Just this evening 10/8/24 Tuesday at 10:pm the wife ran in to get us two slices of cheese cake... I wanted plain & she wanted Oreo cheesecake very very disappointed... The plain cheesecake tasted like Refrigeration especially the top left a horrible taste in mouth ... ate 1/4 & threw the rest out... Now my wife's Oreo cheesecake was even more disgusting, first of all the cheesecake part in the middle doesn't even taste like real cheesecake and then they got devil's food cake on both sides and then the whip cream on the end was also stale. Just a total epic fail. FYI, we just finished shopping at BJ's wholesale club. Truth be told we would've been better off buying BJ's cheesecake or any other cake for that matter !!! We didn't wanna have a whole cake in the house. We figured we'd run to the diner and get a slice each and be satisfied boy will be wrong !!! Not calling the diner not going back there to return the cheesecake at 20 bucks a slice should've been fresh period !!! . Nobody cares no more what a shame; then again this isn't a Greek owned dinner so we should've knew better. We're in the area since 1989.. Fyi; We Have patronizes diner a long time, but never had dessert their food, especially their breakfast, and their burgers are very good but this dessert the cheesecakes just doesn't fly with us !!! Told my wife, that's what we get for cheating on our diet wasn't worth it never again lesson learned !!! Thanks for nothing Lindenwood diner you ruined my cheat day !!! Greg D & Family read more

Hey Foodies! My bf has been trying to get me to come here for the longest, and I finally caved in and gave it a try. I had the crab cakes and 2 egg combo, mashed potatoes, passion guava juice, and a small side of guacamole. My meal was okay, nothing to really rave about. The crab cakes didn't really taste fresh and I had to order a side of garlic butter just to eat them and give them a better taste. The mashed potatoes were a no go for me, the guac as well. My bf had a bacon & cheese omelette w. tostones..not a crumb was left when he was done! Safe to say he loved his meal. Moving on to the ambiance & service - very clean establishment and the music was such a great vibe. Our server Jorge was amazing! He was very friendly and attentive the whole time. Due to the wonderful customer service from our server and the ambiance, I would come back again and try a different meal. Service 5 stars, food 3 stars. Hopefully my next visit will change my opinion on the food. read more
Lindenwood Diner has been at the top of my diner charts for over two decades. It's so well kept and maintained and the staff is wonderfully welcoming, from the front door hostess to the servers. I played hooky from walking the track today, after waking up to fog and mist and instead made my way to Lindenwood. I ordered a mimosa and I was presented with the cutest setup, a mini bottle of Cook's Champagne and extra juice on the side. My breakfast of lump crab Maryland crabcakes with all the trimmings was just divine. Food was good, the r&b tunes were great and I left feeling so satisfied. Lindenwood's menu is HUGE and that's a beautiful thing. So many dishes to pick from. Try them all! read more

This morning I treated my folks to breakfast. It was after 9:30 and there was no waiting, got seated right away in a Saturday! Dad ordered three sunny side up eggs with French fries and toast while mom ordered same as me a veggie omelette with bacon, home-fries and toast. This was my first time having breakfast and it was good! I particularly liked the home- fries, seasoned and cooked well. Portions are just right. Prices for breakfast are higher than other places specially if you add ons. The only negative I have is that no one is attentive to refilling up empty cups. You must wave someone over for refills. Definitely will be back for lunch/dinner!! read more
Baked clams and crab cakes here are delicious. We've had the crab legs which are great too. The menu is pretty diverse if you're not looking for seafood specifically, either. Overall this place feels like an establishment, bustling at all hours. We tend to go after beach days at Rockaway beach. Service is usually pretty consistently solid. Great for big groups. read more
