When you do get sat, the service is fast-- your coffee is always filled and hot! The food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and delicious. It actually can get pretty loud in there. It is a very old building with an open floor plan, so when a lot of people get in there then start talking it can get to a medium roar, but nothing too loud. It's not like you have to shout at the person across the table so they can hear you. The prices are reasonable and comparable to the prices around the area, and bonus **if you have purchased an Elk River Football card, (and you have the card with you) you can get five dollars off your meal!

Amelia, our server, was terrific! Accommodating, friendly, and welcoming. Patio was busy but she got to us! Enjoying a 1/2 price bottle of wine and appetizers. Steak bites were perfect, asked for medium rare and they delivered: tender and so good. However, the fake onion rings on the steak bites could seriously get lost, keep the sautéed onions and peppers, bechamel sauce. Also, their fries (the other app) are dangerously good... fresh cut, tender crisp. Consistently good. Served with a spicy mayo, which is so-so. Wine selection was fine... for 1/2 price bottle, can't complain. Pinot Noir, light yet delicious. Not super loud on the patio but is by a highway, yet fairly sheltered from noise. Recommend for a midweek patio date night. They have a decent dining room and bar. Live music events, look 'em up and check 'em out, y'all!

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while…read more We had a reservation for 11:00 and were seated on time, but our food didn't come out until after 12:50, even though we ordered right away. The service and kitchen timing were unbelievably slow. Several tables around us were also clearly frustrated by the delays. I've honestly never waited almost two hours for food, especially for a pretty basic breakfast. When the food finally arrived, it wasn't worth the wait. Everything felt very basic and under seasoned, and half of us didn't even finish our meals. It really seemed like they were completely unprepared for brunch service. They were also already out of caramel rolls, which was disappointing. Overall, a really frustrating experience between the extreme wait time, poor execution, and lackluster food.

All of the food was delicious! The bread is even homemade. Parking lot right behind the building.

Well, this week we decided to give them a second chance and much to our surprise we liked it. In fact I like it better than most of our other local options.

I love places like Linda's. Out East, we call them diners. Linda's is more of a roadside cafe…read more The menu is immense, with an all-day breakfast. Most items are homemade. On this lunch outing, we were with our daughter and cozied up to the counter. Linda's often has a line waiting for a table. My wife loved her French Dip, and our daughter said her Eggs Benedict was fantastic. I was excited to see liver and onions on the menu, but alas, it was beef liver and tougher than a junk yard dog. Service was fun, professional, and accepting. I came from a meeting and was wearing a stylish, trendy suit, not the usual attire at Linda's. However, I was dealt with just fine. No one gave a rip. Prices are cheap, cheap, cheap.

We waited just under 15 minutes to be seated. The staff did the best they could to accommodate each party that came in, while moving through the line to fill tables quickly. I will say the café is on the tighter side. The booths are small, and the tables...well, they're kinda on top of each other. A couple who frequents the café recommended we try the "Fritter Toast". It comes in three flavors. We ordered the blueberry and let me tell you, KNOCK OUT! I wish I had only ordered that! I did order a breakfast special and it was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary for a breakfast joint. The food came relatively quickly and the portion size was big! Especially the pancakes. I will say, and other reviewers say the same, if you're looking for a small town feel, with friendly staff, Lindas' has some work to do. We didn't feel welcomed. Some of the staff were down right crabby and standoffish. If we don't go back, I won't be sad. But, I will need to figure out a way to get my hands on the fritter toast.

The music was loud, but they actually turned it down a few decibels because we asked if they would. (They said another table asked the same thing.) Overall a pleasant lunch experience.
