    Outside waiting area- cornhole for old and young kids
    Richard S.

    New to Linwood (opened in June, '25) this diner is the reincarnation of their Tilton diner(part of Common Man chain). Our waitress, Johanna, was great and kept us amused. We ate in the dining area adjacent to the diner portion. Tables were spaced nicely so we could converse. My tuna melt on sourdough bread was excellent and the fries were tasty, not oily. My wife enjoyed her smash burger. Even my cup of NE chowder was filled with clams. The manager came around and inquired if everything was ok so I was impressed. Overall, a nice experience that will be repeated. The kitchen can get backed up at peak hours and they close at 2PM. 4.5 stars. Plenty of parking between the two restaurants.

    New Diner, just like Tilton Diner, owned by same owner, recently open early July 2025, hours are 7-2pm, and likely will be longer once they adjust... Food was delicious and fast service, super friendly staff, clean & new. They have an extend back dining area of the street car.

    The Cadillac Breakfast ... Oh Yeah!

    This is FANTASTIC We came in with very high expectations and these expectations were 100% met. We were greeted by a super friendly host, and then taken care of by a super friendly (and knowledgeable) server. The food was awesome. If pushed to pick a favorite thing on the plate ... the pancakes. And don't forget to ask for real maple syrup. The look and feel of an old time diner, we can't wait to go back soon.

    The food was 10/10--from the friendly service to the excellent food. My family and I popped in here without doing any research beforehand. We didn't have high hopes, although the place is cute, clean, and conveniently located right off the road. But wow--this was probably the best meal I've had since we arrived in New Hampshire. My husband got the tuna melt with their house-made chips, I had the BLT with sweet potato fries, and the kids had a grilled cheese and the ranchy chicken wrap. My mother- and father-in-law ordered the pulled pork sandwiches with onion rings--and they were simply divine. Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. And holy moly, was it all just amazing. Damon was a doll--attentive and warm--and the hostess was so accommodating. It felt like a place that genuinely cares about both the food and the people. We're already talking about coming back before we leave. Total hidden gem.

    Cobb Salad is supposed to come with bleu cheese crumbles

    We were sorely disappointed by our experience at Lincoln Diner. Despite the previously noted good reviews and our wish that the town of Lincoln would have another good eatery, we found that this new restaurant, Lincoln Diner, is just not ready for 'prime time' and it missed the mark in several areas. First, we were basically ignored at the hostess greeting stand. The restaurant did not appear to be busy at the time, and staff was visible and not scurrying around. Despite this, it took 10 minutes of waiting before being greeted by the hostess, without any prior acknowledgement of our wait. We were seated in the less than half-full restaurant and waited another10 minutes before our server, Jackson, came by. We placed our complete order and Jackson returned with two water glasses and said he would return right back with straws. Spoiler alert: the straws never came. Not that this was a big deal, but it points to the lack of attention to detail and to the level customer service. Second, we waited an inordinately long time for our food. It took 28 minutes from ordering to receive our order of Eggs Benedict and a Cobb salad. Again, the kitchen did not appear to be overwhelmed, and this was after any lunch time rush. The Cobb salad, ordered by my guest is described in the menu as having 'bleu cheese crumbles'. The salad we received did not have any bleu cheese crumbles. When we asked the server, he said, "Oh, you want bleu cheese crumbles with that?" The sever was pleasant and the atmosphere fine. The food was quite tasty. However, compared to service we have received at other Common Man Diners or just in general, the Lincoln Diner fell considerably far short of even our minimal expectations. I would be afraid to go there hungry and have to wait this long for food.

    My wife and I stopped in the Lincoln Diner the other night for an early dinner. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We were served in the dinner section of the restaurant which has the old 50's ambience of a classic diner. The menu is a mix of diner stables with breakfast served all day. I opted for the vegetarian omelette with cheddar cheese, cinnamon toast and baked beans plus a side of bacon crispy. My wife went with the turkey pot pie. My omelette was delicious and the bacon just right. The beans were amazing (we both loved them). However the pot pie was too dry. We did receive some gravy that helped it out. The good thing about the pie was the crust which was very tasty and flaky. So while the staff was super and my omelette very nice I can't quite give the dinner a top rating. I will say we may be back soon!

    Food was good. Understaffed, was a long wait. Lots of empty tables. It only opened 7 or 8 months prior. Was a bit dirty.

    Boyfriend & I had dinner here yesterday while staying in Lincoln for the night. This was our 2nd…read morevisit to this restaurant; we had eaten here a year ago and liked it, which is why we chose to come back. Great service. I had requested a window table when booking and we got one! The restaurant seemed full, with mostly resort guests. Very lively bar area, great atmosphere and lighting. No children in sight while we were there. Our waitress was very polite and efficient as well. We had the Caesar salad and fried calamari as appetizers; that's what we had last year and we loved it - still great this year. Boyfriend *loved* the calamari, it did have a "kick" to it - watch out for those jalapeños! He gives me that big parmesan chip from his salad and I love it! He had the 14oz striploin steak as main dish and unfortunately, wasn't too impressed. He found it a bit overcooked (had asked for medium rare) and it was kind of bland (that's probably his fault though because he had asked them to remove the garlic aioli usually served with it). Also - this cut wasn't a bone-in so the steak was bigger than he expected, and he couldn't finish it. He loved the asparagus and other veggies however, which were prepared perfectly. I had the napoleatan Ragu which I thought (from seeing pictures on social media) would be a MUCH smaller portion than what was served. It was tasty but I couldn't finish half. If you are boxing up leftovers it would probably reheat really well the next day (we couldn't as we are on a road trip. I mean, maybe I could have anyway. But it's a bit late to think of that now, Amelie). Overall it was another great evening... ambiance is most important to me when eating out and this place has it right. We liked our main dishes better on our 2025 visit though (pizza and shrimp scampi) - and would keep that in mind if/when we return...

I ordered the veggie burger with a gluten-free bun, and the bun was toasted perfectly. The waitress also proactively mentioned that while the fries are not made with gluten ingredients, they are cross contaminated, which I really appreciated. Because of that, I switched to a side salad with balsamic dressing instead. All the salad dressings are all gluten free, and there were several other gluten-free options on the menu. For dessert, I got a gluten-free and vegan carrot cake slice. The atmosphere inside was cozy and had a brewery-like, outdoorsy feel. Overall, it was a really comfortable and stress free dining experience, especially as someone who is gluten-free and vegetarian.

I've had a couple burgers that didn't quite hit for me, but overall they're very solid. The cowboy burger with candied jalapeños is a standout and my recommendation. And very importantly, they actually cook the burger how you order it! The wait can get long, so come prepared. They do have an online waitlist, which helped a lot on my last visit. Service can be a little slow, but friendly. And the vibes are relaxed and perfect for unwinding after a hike.
