    Porch seating
    Rae G.

    Everything was really good with this visit, EXCEPT we could not find the handicapped entrance. The main entrance next to the parking lot in the back has two sets of stairs. It turns out the front of the restaurant has no steps from the side walk, but the front door is kept locked. Of course I believe the law requires doors to be unlocked when patrons are on site, but this door was only unlocked for us to leave by. Just ridiculous! Now the Lincoln House has been known as a very nice restaurant for many years, probably at least 50. There are several dining rooms inside, a large separate bar area and indoor porch seating. It is modestly decorated with 19th century prints. The building itself is old and it retains character while having updated decor, tablecloths and glassware. It is upscale but casual dress is ok. One of us absolutely loves the cheesy tomato soup, a regular offering. The tea was nicely brewed. The food was fresh and tasty. Our server AJ was pleasant and attentive. Total price for 2 soups, 2 teas, and a sandwich and large salad was $50. Ample parking, ample space inside. They just have to do something about that handicapped entrance issue.

    Pile of pecans

    To start waitress was courteous, so that is a big plus and helped the experience. Ordered corned beef tacos for appetizer- it's Tuesday, so the tacos came with fries. They were good. Significant other ordered the bangers and mash, said it was alright nothing to write home about. I ordered the roasted chicken, it came out looking nothing like menu picture online. (See below menu pic)- it also came out with chopped pecans (see photo of the pile of pecans I got- but am not fan of pecans.) I told waitress menu listed pine nuts and scallions- she checked with kitchen which told her they are out of season and weren't able to be gotten from their supplier. My plate had a very small amount of the butternut squash purée, (less than a quarter cup) under the tiny piece of chicken, a few pieces of apple amongst the ton of pecans. The carrots looked to be about the same amount as pictured on the menu photo. The chicken was done right and tasted good, as well as the carrots, but the rest lacked and I very disappointed. If cook knew items in dish wasn't going to reflect what was to be on the dish, they should send the waitress out to relay that beforehand so I could decide if I still wanted that entree, which I would not have chose to proceed with that and would have elected to make a different selection. For fine dining I'd expect better at $29 for the entree which didn't come as advertised. I wish I had taken a photo of the dish when it arrived, but I didn't have my phone out at that point. These are the sorts of things that make me go elsewhere with my money. (They did take a percentage off my meal, but like I said, had I known in advance, I could have chose something else entirely and enjoyed the whole meal. I however wasn't given that opportunity)

    I'm a lost New Yorker who stumbled on to this place. Actually my friends took me here. Never seen honest Abe without a beard until I arrived here. The ambiance is awesome. Feels very historical and the lighting is perfect for that vibe. The food was delicious. I wish I can say the same about my friends, but this is my review. Their French onion soup is so delicious that I cleaned it up for more soup to be poured on there. Simply Amazing! For my entree I ordered their Pineapple Bacon Burger. Never had pineapple on a burger, to my surprise it was phenomenal! The sweetness or the pineapple spread mixed with the saltiness or the bacon paired perfectly with my medium cooked burger. Oh let's not forget about the fries. DEEEELICIOUS! Perfectly crisp and order them with the house sauce. You'll thank me later. Overall I enjoyed this place. If I happen to get lost again, I'll comeback here in a heartbeat. Thank you for the lovely experience.

    Awesome New Year's Eve Dinner! I wanted to take my Girlfriend out to a nice place for NYE and found this place - online menu looked good (nice variety of choices). We were seated promptly (we arrived about 5 min before our reservation) and started off with apps (French Onion soup & bacon-wrapped scallops) which were good. We went with beef for main courses - Prime Rib & Delmonico - both were cooked exactly to our tastes and were awesome! We also split a nice chocolatey dessert (see pics) which was great as well. Our server was very attentive and the rest of the staff were friendly as well. I would definitely return when in the area!

    4-22-22 We came here for a luncheon after services for my sister. Her son did a beautiful job arranging everything especially choosing this place for everyone to catch up and have a bite to eat before their long journeys back home. The restaurant arranged for a room away from the other restaurant guests. We were a group of twenty spread between five tables. The service was very good although I was still numb what would usually be an easy task was difficult to choose something. The server guided us to the most popular selections. I had the fish tacos along with a white sangria they were delicious and glad not too spicy as I was worried for my stomach with all that was occurring. The potato chips I didn't really care for. But happy not to have the calories. The restrooms were very nice and close by. There was plenty of free parking to the rear of the property.

    a plate of meat, rice and broccoli

    I ordered Honey glazed salmon with pan seared brussell sprouts and sweet potatoes. Food arrived cold and burnt. When I spoke to theBethanny, manager on duty. I asked if she would eat this she stated with an attitude that I was not obligated to stay. The day we went was February 10,2024 for my birthday dinner. This was not my first time in here. My first dinner was excellent and I left a twenty dollar tip. It was November 2022. The staff was mature and the meal was excellent . As for February 10, I left your establishment just as quiet as I came in. If telling someone they don't have to stay is being told to leave then. Your business practices are horrible. Thank you for showing me that what the company has come to and that people of color will always be lied on and said to cause a disturbance.

    I have fond memories of Olde Lincoln House. My dad used to bring us here for dinner as kids. I had heard that the quality has suffered over the years. Very overpriced for the quality of food. Granted, I know seafood is going to be slightly more expensive no matter what kind of establishment you are at, but this was poor. We left hungry. The fish were about the size of a small chicken tender. Normally, Fish and Chips is served as one or two giant pieces of fish. This fish looked and tasted like it was from the frozen isle. The shrimp was over cooked and the fries mushy. A very disappointing meal.

The inside of the restaurant is somewhat narrow, but long. They have a variety of seating available and I was put in a comfy booth towards the front. Both the employee working at the host stand and my server were very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be working there. My server said she had been there since she was 15 years old and seemed to have good report with the regulars. I ordered a small spring house salad with the dressing on the side and the cheesesteak stuffed pretzel. The stuffed pretzel was greasy and amazing in all of the ways a good Amish pretzel is. It had the right amount of salty and sweet and the cheesesteak filling was hot and gooey. The pickle and chips on the side added a nice crunch. The salad was fresh and loaded with toppings. I wished I had room for ice cream because all of the flavors in the case next to where I was seated sounded delicious, but I was too full. I asked for a rice krispie to go and it didn't let me down. It had a nice vanilla flavor and that fresh marshmallow-y pull in each bite. Prices were more than fair for the quality. The bathroom is outside in a separate building, but was also easy to locate and clean. I will be back to try some ice cream!

Atlantic Ave near the train tracks in Audubon. Their menu drew me in as they offer a wide selection of soups by the day as well as sandwiches, wraps, grilled cheese, burgers and hot dogs. Just think cozy comfort food. The inside has ample seating if you plan to dine in and a small counter in the rear to order out. I was greeted by a friendly young lady who was patient with me as I looked over the menu. I decided on a grilled cheese and green split pea soup. It was hard to decide because there were so many yummy looking choices. Service was quick and efficient. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. Everyone was very pleasant. The grilled cheese was perfect! So delicious! The split pea soup w/ homemade croutons and tiny bits of ham throughout sure hit the spot on this cold winter day. The place was very clean and cozy and there was a bit of a lunch rush so they definitely have a good reputation. Would love to see them expand their footprint. We could use more places that offer simple comfort food at affordable prices in South Jersey. Can't wait to return to try another one of their soups...and a grilled cheese. ***Oh!
