    Western omelette with added mushrooms, side of bacon, extra crispy hashbrowns, and banana bread French toast
    MIchelle C.

    Sooo good! We were so happy with everything, including the service and will be back! Our food was hot and fresh, and delivered to our table quickly. I had already added ketchup to the hashbrowns and started eating, so forgive the missing bites in the picture. This was the perfect brunch.

    Great Coffee!
    Holly W.

    Fabulous food! Fabulous staff! Lincoln square has grown into a local breakfast/brunch power house! They now have restaurants all over the greater Indy area and they are all great. My go to is the Alex Skillet. But today I went for the breakfast tacos and they did not disappoint. A bit spicy with the chorizo and Yummm My daughter went for the southwest chicken melt with fries and coleslaw ... she said it was all delicious! She absolutely loves their coleslaw! Whether you live in the Indy area or are just passing through Lincoln Square should be on your breakfast/brunch list!

    Breakfast Chimichanga Breakfast Burrito

    Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend!! I had the Chimichanga Breakfast Burrito with chorizo and it was wonderful.

    Spanikopita
    Stacie B.

    This is a go to for a casual yet delicious meal. My Mom is a big fan so we met one of her friends for lunch. I wasn't sure what to get until I found out they make their own spanakopita. Mind blowing! This spot has some fun favorites and breakfast is always a good option. The spanakopita takes a bit to make as they do it to order, but it was flaky and full of spinach and feta (real Greek feta), and melted in our mouths. It comes with two sides so you can bill it up a bit of go light. I went light with Cole slaw which was nice and tangy. A fun spot that has something for everyone, and prices are reasonable for what you get. We will be back!

    Lincoln Square Pancake Scrambled egg/chicken healthy stuff
    Amin S.

    No nonsense place. Food: not exceptional but not bad either. I had the pancakes (good!) and health chicken crease/scrambled egg combo. It was filling and priced right. Service: To the point. Not rude but but overtly cheerful, fake smile (a good thing) Ambience: not a hoity toity, IG famous place. You won't impress a date here but if you want a filling Sunday brunch, you can't go wrong ! Would I return ? Yes!

    Biscuits and gravy platter with scrambled eggs
    Christina B.

    This was my first time dining in but I have ordered carryout before. We had a great experience. We were greeted right away and all the staff were friendly. The restaurant was about half full on a Saturday morning around 7:30. The menu is huge. I definitely wanted one of everything. I ended up with the veggie scrambler that came with aside of hash browns, pancakes, and fruit. All the fruits and veggies tasted so fresh. It's little bit older of a building but don't let that deter you. It was decorated up for Father's Day/summer when we were there. I'll definitely be back!

    French Toast
    Abby M.

    This is a classic go-to breakfast spot for my family and has been for years. The service is always great with quick seating and coffee refills! The omelets are a great deal with the omelet, hash browns & French toast. The food is always fresh and tastes great! Their seasonal pumpkin pancakes are also a must!

    Breaded Tenderloin with cole slaw & cottage cheese.
    Duncan G.

    Wife & I tried Lincoln Square for the first time in a long time. Overall it was..... meh. Not horrible but not as good as either of us remembered. Service was very friendly & although not crowded we did lose our waitress it seems when refills were needed. Thankfully another staff member say te issue & jumped in. We both had breaded tenderloin sandwiches as an entree. More on those in a second. My wife felt the Cole slaw was so so & we both thought the cottage cheese was decent. I asked for crispy fries & they were that! They also had no seasoning on them whatsoever which made them pretty bland. On the tenderloins the buns were very nice. Toasted but soft. Exactly how they were supposed to be. The tenderloins themselves? Very chewy. When you would try to take a bite the breading would come off but not the meat. In honesty it was a mediocre tenderloin. Also have NO idea if there was a cause & effect but glad we were dining close to home as we both had to make urgent bathroom runs. ‍ The bottom line for us is I think we are fine if we stick to breakfast items because the tenderloins would definitely not want to make folks come back.

    Two eggs over easy, guacamole,  sun dried tomatoes andnfruit
    Lori T.

    Definitely I do have plans to go back. This plate is normally not assembled this way, I requested things separate. Due to never having guacamole with eggs...I never knew the combo would of been so good! I even came home and made.some.myself to see if I could mimic this delicious plate. However it wasn't the same without the environment, and the sweet waitresses that waited my table. I would like to say...give them a try! I plan to go back to try other plates on the menu.

    Turkey & spinach omelette (sub bacon for turkey)
    Chandra L.

    Very much a diner with the typical experience and food with a Mexican flair. I got breakfast tacos with chorizo - delicious and generous portions. Omelette was big and cheesy, pancakes were delish!

The Philly Steak & Cheese was so cheesy it should've been paying rent. The grilled onions and peppers were doing a perfect little tango under that golden hoagie bun. And the Reuben? A work of edible art -- crispy rye hugging tender corned beef like it was saying "don't ever leave me." Spoiler: I didn't. We also tackled a basket of fried glory -- fries, jalapeño poppers, mushrooms, probably some hush puppies sent from heaven. Each bite whispered, "You'll need a nap after this," and I listened.

We started with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, and you can immediately tell they don't cut corners--the OJ tasted bright, fresh, and totally worth it. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry. The benches were the only downside, it is definitely time to replace them! But tables were clean and cute inside.

I had the fried chicken lunch special which comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and toast. The plate was huge. I'm a connoisseur of mashed potatoes and these mashed potatoes were made fresh with bits of red skin and topped with a creamy gravy. The chicken was moist inside with a crispy coating. The green beans were ok. I was too full to try the desserts, but the blueberry shortcake sounded awesome. Another day. Restrooms are clean. A parking lot is available behind the building.
