Really good diner food! They have daily specials too! Breakfast anytime of day! Not fancy decor but just good home cooking! Super nice down home waitstaff is a plus too, honey darlin pudding pie! read more

I'd say maybe 4 or more years ago I'd give it 5 but food has changed a bit still a good country style cooking restaurant though staff is good people and ain't lazy read more

Really good food. Great service. Large menu. Large parking lot. I had the liver & onions. Husband had the country fried steak & gravy.

Lindy's has sat on the corner of Seagoville Road and Interstate 20 for what seems like eternity. The small diner welcomes visitors into Dallas on I20 and always reminded me that we were almost home. As you leave town, it provides the last stop in Dallas County for home cooking so you can get charged for your travels. Several things always tell me about a diner... -Do the police eat there? Yes, sometimes police go outside their city to eat there! Heck, the fireman in the area sometimes take several firetrucks and go eat there! That says something! -Does it have a daily special? Yes but more to follow on that... -Can you get in at 9am on Saturday morning? Not very often! Lindy's is your run of the mill, basic diner style restaurant that serves everything from chicken fried steak and an open faced hot roast beef sandwich to breakfast and some of the best pecan waffles from opening to closing. You are not gonna jump for joy in Lindy's from eating the best food in the world but you will get a satisfying, courteously served, entirely overloaded meal that will satisfy even the largest of appetites with ease. Each night they deliver a nightly special that is reduced price. You get one meat or main dish with three sides. The sides vary from Green Beans to Pinto Beans to Macaroni and Cheese. My one gripe here is that they used to have a deal where you could trade two sides for a side salad. No longer. You have to pay extra for the side salad now!! Arguably the best item at Lindy's is their breakfast. Everything on their breakfast menu is excellent. Crisp bacon, wonderful eggs, crunchy toast, flaky biscuits, and then there are the Pecan Waffles. WHOA... stop and let's talk about this. Imagine this steaming hot waffle melting the butter as you spread it over the top and watch is ooze into the golden brown crust on the waffle. Smother it in maple syrup. Then take a bite... The crunchy golden exterior yields to the soft, succulent, and steamy, butter engorged fluffiness of the waffles interior. Small pecan pieces dot the creaminess and provide that little extra flavor burst. It is wonderful. But I digress... Probably the next best thing are the burgers. They are meaty wonderful patties, wonderfully melted cheese, crisp bacon and fresh fresh fresh veggies. Serve with wonderful french fries that are perfectly cooked and it is difficult to even think about butter and pecan waffles! The wait staff has been running through a little turnover so the service can be a little delayed. Wait and enjoy it. The ladies and men working are all pleasant country folks who know customers by first names and know just where folks like to sit. This is customer service like you seldom see any more. The big names stuff-chicken fried steaks, fried chicken, chopped steak- are all good in their own right. Try the nightly specials because they are almost always the best. Appetizers are spotty at best and mostly look canned (i.e. frozen cheese sticks, canned cheese sauce on the nachos, etc etc). So whether you are heading out to the East or coming back home, stop in at Lindy's and enjoy a little bit of country cooking and personality that the new slick chains still haven't quite figured out... jh read more

Very good service, the food was really basic but well cooked American breakfast. The coffee was also a really good roast and my cup was never empty. I'll be back to try the lunch menu! read more

I went in with my family and we had to wait at the table for 20 mins before someone asked us if we wanted any drinks. When i walked in all the staff was white and most customers were also white. I feel as if they treated them with more respect and fast paced than us. They were very rude and seemed like they didn't want to be there. They need to be more friendly and have more people of color working there. I'm disgusted actually read more

Ordered a GRILLED CHICKEN and the chicken came back tasting and looking like the cooks put the chicken in the deep fryer to save time plus some parts of the chicken were pink inside . Wish this place the best but will not be returning or recommending this place any longer. read more

I ordered the country boy breakfast and the food is just not that good. No flavor, the worst biscuits I've ever had. Bland gravy and bad hash browns that weren't cooked long enough. The only reason I went was because my wife and mother wanted to try it. Ill never frequent this place again. Great service never makes up for terrible food. Don't waste your time. read more

We ate there last night. The staff was friendly and the place was very clean, but that's about all I can say I liked. My husband said he prefers food that welcomes you. This food, he said, reached out and punched him in the face. We got the battered fries as an appetizer with a bowl of ranch dressing. The dressing was quite good and tasted very fresh, but the fries didn't. The batter and the fries were just the wrong mix as well. And I prefer ketchup on fries and that wasn't even offered. My husband had the seafood platter. There was so much batter on the fried oysters that it was more batter than oyster. I ordered some grilled chicken with some sides of veggies. I wanted the mashed potatoes without gravy and it came out drowning in gravy. The server gave me some new potatoes, but they were so dry I understood why people would want gravy on them. The corn was right out of a can - no seasoning that I could tell. And the chicken. It was so overcooked and tough I had a hard time cutting into it with my steak knife. I ate less than half of it. She told me she'd take it off our check, which she did. She removed the 8.99 for the plate and charged me a la carte prices for the three veggies I didn't finish. At 1.89 each, I saved a little over $3. Not enough for such a bad experience. Other people around us were eating breakfast, so if you're a breakfast fan looking for a place to go, you might want to try it out. Oh, the lemonade tasted homemade and is well worth it. Just know that they charge by the glass - no free refills. read more

Don't order to go! I visited this place before and it took a while to get our food, so I called in an order this time and to my surprise the lady told me it would be ready in 10 minutes. So I scrambled to get them being that I was 25 minutes away. Well when I arrived I waited another 35 minutes to get my food. I watched as two other guests walked in and ordered to go, received their food and left. I also noticed that some guests get treated with more priority than others. After all of this the food was only average. Not worth another visit. read more

I Love when Sunday Church is over, our family enjoy the Turkey dinner and dressing with real baked turkey umm yum

Good ol' country cookin' it can't get any better than this. This is the stuff I was raised on homemade biscuits and gravy and all things of the sort, not to mention a massive country ham steak with the famous country boy special! read more

The food was just ok here. The food is not horrible but it ain't great. The customer service it's good and the food comes out pretty quick. Probably won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Good comfort food place to eat. Home cooking and southern cuisine like grandma made. We had breakfast this morning with eggs, bacon, ham, grits, biscuits and gravy. Food was tasty and the bacon was crispy. read more

This is the best home cooking you will ever eat. They had regular diner fare but I saw on the side of the menu that they had SOS!!!! My grandfather served that to the troops in Korea.So my mom makes it in memory of him and because it's delicious!!! Lindys did it proud. Everything about this restaurant was so cute! This is now our go to restaurant!! Love it!!! read more

Great service!! Great food!!! If you haven't tried this gem, your definitely missing out on some good ole fashion southern cooking !

This is my Nana's establishment. Very good food and my nana is cool. come eat here and leave 5 stars please :)

Oh my lord! I haven't had this good of food in forever. Breakfast is amazing. And the staff is so nice and welcoming you feel like home. Place is clean. Loved it! read more

Ask for Pam. Great comfort food. Homemade cobblers, soups salads and chicken fried steak even enchiladas. Bubba occasionally comes back to work on a Saturday! read more

I've been here for breakfast 2 times, once for the eggs migas and another for the breakfast burrito and it was great! I had the philly cheesesteak another time and while I was disapointed it didn't come with a side, it was probably best for my waist because I was full. My husband and I joked that the food is so good they have a southern grandma in the back telling everyone what to do and putting love in the food. The food is fresh, and the salsa VERY fresh. I'd go here before any regular breakfast chain any day. read more

Solid 3 star review. Food was good and service was good too. Nothing stellar. Lemonade had a horrible aftertaste and I got a coke instead. I got the chicken fried chicken but the mash potatoes tasted like that came out of a box. Daughter got burger and it was good. read more

The food is ok at best. It's certainly not anything to rave about. I usually get breakfast food when I go there. The bacon is always burnt to a crisp, and the hash browns are always covered in oil. Some of their food is pretty good, while there are some things on the menu I'd stay away from. The pie however is always good! read more

My Son and Law found Lindy's when looking for a place to eat close to our new home. If you're looking for something fancy this is not it. If you're looking for a friendly place with good down home cooking you found it. The staff was really friendly, both times I went we got plenty of food I had to get a take home container. So I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a friendly country style down home cooking restaurant that serves a lot of food for a low price. read more

I am not giving the bad review because of the food or service it is the 18 % tip that is added to your bill automatically. I don't like it period but it is really bad when they classify a 5 year old as a 6th person We have always been good with our tips when eating here and we tip the cook as well This time the cook did not get anything as the waitress got it all We have eaten here for a couple of years and never thought a 5 y/o would be part of the group We may miss good food but I will not be forced to pay an automatic tip. A tip should be based on service and that is up to the customer There are a lot of good places to eat that do not charge this 18% and we can start giving them more of our business We will severely curtail our going here again and the couple that was with us, was their first time . They had already made plans to come and bring others until we were hit with the 18 % gratuity Now, that has changed and they will not be back On top of that the AC was out and must have been out for some time as the waitress were even complaining about it being hot We overlooked the heat and ate anyway read more

Not even worth the star. Mediocre food and our waitress was worse. It is off the freeway and inexpensive but not worth it. I'm all for second chances but the experience was so bad... read more

love this place, great breakfasts for a super reasonable price. Very friendly waitstaff and right off the highway.

Gone down hill. Was the worst breakfast we have had in long time. Bacon and sausage was burnt to crisp and you could tell it was cheap meat. Also they don't cook real eggs unless you order over easy. The rest eggs are out of a carton yuck!!. There home frys were a joke all covered in vegetable oil with no seasoning. Buba our server was great and apologized for the kitchen. But we paid 50 dollars for 5 people for a horrable breakfast. Will not be back. read more

Good home cooking and great service. Seems to be a local favorite as the place was packed well before lunch service. Chorizo was a bit overcooked but the hot buttered buns that came before the meal made up for it! A good little greasy spoon restaurant. read more

Luncheon specials are great. Large enough for two people to share. Chicken fried steak and enchilada plate are my favorites. Service is great. Good old fashioned restaurant, nothing fancy. read more

Never been to the restaurant but I just ate a chicken-fried steak from there with mashed potatoes & gravy/fried okra. I ate it about 3 hours after it was cooked and I reheated and scarfed it down. Wouldn't hesitate to stop in for a fresh one! It was a greasy wonderful diner delight! And the okra maintained some crispiness after microwaving. read more

Solid breakfast menu for both traditional American fare (pancakes, waffles) and Tex Mex (migas, huevos rancheros). Quick service, hot coffee, and a diverse clientele. You'll see all kinds at Lindys! read more

Food came out way over done. Biscuits had a very dark bottom and eggs were hard instead of easy. Sausage was very dark as well. Waitstaff and other customers are some of the friendliest people around, everyone was saying "hi" and shaking hands. read more

Wonderful home cooking with a good variety of food at a good cost. Staff is very friendly and the service is great. This is our favorite restaurant in the area! read more

Hubby took me here to celebrate my birthday (#72) and I was treated like a queen. Great service, yummy food and great atmosphere. We have tried other country restaurants in the area (none to our liking) but Lindys hit the spot. We will return hopefully in the near future. We like the way they give senior discounts.,..a lot of places don't want our business. read more

This was the worst food I have ever had from Lindy's Restaurant. We had 5 ppl & 4 of those plates were cold. The fried green tomatoes were cooked too long. The waitress asks "Do you want to have it heated up in the microwave "?... The cornbread was hard like a hockey puck & the rolls outside were also hard & over cooked. Management says it was because it was the end of the shift. Not, not, not acceptable! I have been to this restaurant for many years & always had good decent down home food till tonight. Very unhappy with the food, waitress & the owner tonight. If I could give less than 1 star I would. read more

At best, the food was mediocre. Ordered the fried chicken livers. Too much batter, but once I broke off the excess, the meat was tender. Turnip greens. No. Fried okay. Okay, but nothing spectacular. Just frozen fried okra. The waitress. A joke. In summary, never again. read more

A solid 4. I had the fresh made CFS with lumpy (in a good way) mashed potatoes and baby carrots and everything was delicious. The rolls are made in house too - they remind me of the old Luby's rolls but bigger. They were out of cakes the day I came for lunch. read more
