2 reviews for Lincoln Street Diner
A true Ithaca native find: cheap eats and homestyle flair.
Most of the breakfasts come with fresh coffee and homefries, the muffins are warmed, split in half and served with butter, and you can get fresh pie a la mode where the servings of ice cream are bigger than your pie slice.
Patrons generally appear to be regulars. They come in groups bearing children, grandchildren, old friends and new girlfriends. They all seem to know the waiters and the cooks. Everyone discusses their personal life and passes photos around of their kids.
It's intimate. But come early, because the seats fill fast and the wait can be awkward; people appear hard-pressed to leave. It probably doesn't help that a check never comes to your table; you approach the register when you're ready to deal with payment. Until then, enjoy the local fever.
Great little neighborhood diner. It's right in the middle of a residential area with a beauty salon and a laundromat next door. It seats about 8 - 10 at the counter and perhaps 20 - 25 at tables. Very small but everything that's great about these little diners. Good food fast and at a good price. Daily specials and big portions. Customers are always filling this place up. Really nice to go for a quiet stroll and stop in for a bite to eat. Say hi to John at the grill.
