Lincoln Cafe

Went for Breakfast a long time ago and not sure why I have not been back but so far, I've been twice this week.I was in Lincolnton earlier this week because Bean Brothers across the street had road salt and I needed to get the ice off of my driveway. Picked up a 50 lb bag and another later on in the week. Each time I ate across the street at Lincoln Cafe and each time I had the Country Breakfast. Each time was closer to noon but the serve Breakfast all day.Place was very busy, but service was great and efficient, and they kept the restaurant moving.A County Breakfast or at least for me was 2 eggs, Pork Chop, they have other options as well), Hashbrown and Biscuit. Ordered Black Coffee and it was nice and fresh and no hint of being burned.A bit out of the way but still only like a mile from the Court House Square.Next time I'm going to explore the menu more and try some other items.I would have no problem recommending this place to anyone looking for a great way to start the day.

I had the best French Toast I've ever had here. And the service was excellent. It's a small place, not fancy at all, but a warm, inviting atmosphere. I'm already planning on going back!

Excellent breakfast and outstanding service. I sat outside with my dog. The waitress brought over a bowl of water for him. I had biscuits and pepper gravy that was perfect! Cheese grits that were outstanding. I love this spot!!! Bring Fido.

We were in town for a morning appointment and decided to look for a local breakfast place, and avoid a chain, before driving home. We found this place while searching thru Yelp. It's not really in the center of town or on the main drag so we would've never found it by just wandering around Main Street. The parking lot had a lot of cars so we guessed it's where lots of locals go. We walked in and were told to just sit at any table. The place was maybe 2/3 full. Our server came right over and handed us the menu. She gave us 5 mins to decide on our order. They were out of orange juice so we just ordered iced tea which was very good. The noise level was pretty high and it wasn't full. They had a couple TVs on and music playing at the same time. Also there's no carpet or curtains, or soft surfaces to absorb the noise so everything just bounces everywhere . I can't imagine how loud it gets when they're packed full. We waited about 15 mins for our food. Our server was efficient and polite. My fried eggs were cooked just right and I loved that the hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The link sausages looked like they would be dry but they were cooked perfectly. The portion size was pretty large for me but I really enjoyed this breakfast. My husband also liked his western omelet and remarked how it was made with real ham and not luncheon meat ham. You can tell when an omelet is made with sandwich ham because they're super thin. He couldn't finish his hashbrowns because the omelet was so big and filled him up. FYI, none of the servers or employees wore masks, and we only saw a couple of elderly diners enter after we did wearing masks. We brought our own disinfectant wipes and wiped down our table and utensils ourselves because we doubted they have a covid cleaning protocol. The tables and booths are pretty close together, around 2-3 feet apart so when they're full, everyone is at arm's length. There's an outside patio with tables and chairs if you don't want to be too close or are immune suppressed but with the weather turning colder, it might be a bit uncomfortable out there. Altogether our breakfast was under $20 (not including gratuity) and we left there pretty full. The noise level was pretty high so we left right after we finished, plus as mentioned before, no one was masked and it's a closed in place. They close at 2:30pm so it's mainly breakfast and lunch there.

We were very happy to find this place while visiting thanks to Google and Yelp reviews. We were seated immediately on a Sunday morning. The waitress was excellent - very responsive, friendly and gave us some great recommendations on the menu. I had the Hungry Jack which had an incredible amount of food - eggs, homemade potatoes with onions, country ham, grits and large pancake. I added a homemade biscuit. Wow! I made a egg and ham biscuit sandwich. Could not finish it all. Great pricing, plenty of coffee refills and awesome service. Would definitely eat here again when in the area. Highly recommended.

I like how they serve breakfast all day, you don't have to rush to get there before the cutover time most places have. The wait time can very greatly from time to time. I have waiting nearly an hour to get my food before and for simple breakfast meals it doesn't make sense. The facility is old and could use some modifications to clean it up a bit. The service is usually good but has its off days. Overall I believe it is a little pricey for some items and fair on others.

The food here is always amazing. Their liver mush and pecan pancakes are a must try. They're a little unorganized on the service side, as they let folks seat themselves and they don't have near enough tables for the business they do. But if you don't mind waiting, then the food makes up for it!

My husband and I's favorite breakfast spot in lincolnton!!! Can't beat the prices either

Best breakfast and service We go every Sunday morning for breakfast and the food is always great and the service

Great food, been going here for some time. Getting the biscuits and gravy is a must. Highly recommend!
