The onion rings had no flavor at all- the Swiss mushroom burger was on hard stale bun bottom ( the top was ok) and cooked till it was pretty firm and dry. Really disappointed read more

We came here for the first Friday in March. Fun atmosphere and great service. Our waitress made sure to keep our drinks refilled. We order 4 burgers and a chicken sandwich. read more

Linden Grill - Wings Dinner - Burgers Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Food was very good but customer service sucks I waited over a hour for a 5 piece wing on a Wednesday when they have the special you would think they would have them prepped. Unprofessional the girl at the register had a attitude and I orders online and my food was just sitting there as she kept telling me it was not ready read more

Let me say this is not my first time visiting this place coming from Atlanta. I wanted to come back because of the delicious food and the fun atmosphere. The service this time was horrible. My family got here at 5:30pm and we didn't eat until 8pm. Granted they did discount our bill due to the long wait but when everyone at my table got their food I never got mine. So the waitress says what was your order again??? That got me heated and I told her don't worry about. I just traveled all this way and for such horrible service im highly upset. This will be a no more if I ever visit South Bend, IN again. read more

We needed a quick bite after a day of travel and being invited to a bar with no food. We selected this place for exactly what we anticipated they would be good at, chicken wings. They did not disappoint with hot, fresh wings and at a good price. Our service was good and the ambiance was let's have a good time. read more

Char, our server did a wonderful job making our group enjoy our experience, she was friendly and professional and the food was hot, fresh and delicious! read more

I've enjoyed the food here. I love supporting black owned businesses when I travel. I've been here a few times. I always get the catfish and it's good. I can't complain about the drinks either however the last 2 times I've been here I was harassed by the men at the bar. The first time I was aware of the guy being intoxicated based on his conversation with another person at the bar of how long they had been drinking so I let it go. I come back months later and I'm harassed by someone sober who won't let the fact I'm not trying to talk go. He told me I dodged a bullet by not talking to him. I'll never come back here due to the customers making me feel harassed and unsafe. Both times this happened it was during the day while the sun was still out. read more

I picked up.carryout.from Linden Grill. Service was friendly...they have a separate pick up area for carryout with its own door, so they are set up for covid. I ordered 30 lemon pepper chicken wings and some cheese curds as part of a dinner for daughter visiting The lemon pepper chicken wings are next level...perfect. There must be fresh lemon juice involved...the wings are tender, juicy and crispy with a really nice lemony tang and peppery bite...you are offered a choice of sauces to go with...but they need nothing. They are delicious just the way they are. The cheese curds were hand breaded , and as fried cheese curds go they are very good. Prices were reasonable.....and both items I took home tonight were very good and well worth it. read more

Linden Grill - Designated carryout area separate from main di ing room. Thanks covid - Burgers Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

I went for the first time on my son's recommendation and it was amazing! I got the wings and the delicious hot sauce and I got the fried gizzards! Soooo good! I will definitely go back! read more

The food was so good and seasoned so right. The lady who served us was very sweet and gave us some good recommendation on the food and drinks they had. The restaurant itself was pretty small so we ate at the bar but it was good vibes and nice music. I will be back. read more

Linden Grill - I order fish and shrimp. Of course I had dug in before taking a picture and it was so good. - Burgers Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

It's been awhile since I visited this location and definitely won't be back anytime soon. Very friendly front desk staff but the wait was too long for my sandwich to come out like this! read more

Linden Grill - Pork chop sandwich (after waiting over an hour) - Burgers Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

My wife and I came to the Linden for a late lunch. My wife had catfish and I had a double cheeseburger. The burger was outstanding, one of the best I've had in a long time. My wife said the catfish was excellent too. The service was great also. read more

I have had the Philly one time and wings the other time. Both were great. I was pretty hungry, so I ordered 10 wings. I didn't realize they were the full wings. When my order came, I thought "No way I can eat all these...". Until I put some of the hot sauce on and had that first bite. Then I said, "s@$t. Im eating all these wings." I threw down. They are sooo good. Philly was great, too. Owner and staff are super friendly. Great lunch spot. Heard the burgers are great. Have not had one yet. read more

The burger was good, fries - meh, service good as well. If I were in the South Bend area, I'd try it again. The location is easily located. The decor is basic and non descriptive, but a very clean environment. Our server checked on us frequently and overall we had a nice meal. read more

Service was A++, food was yummy and brought out quickly, the beer was cold! I feel like this place is under recognized as a solid, consistent, place to grab a burger or wings. Two thumbs up. read more

This place is great!!! The food is made w love and one can tell! The chicken - holy smokes soooo good. Also recommend the Philly! Quick stop during a cheer competition and this was a hidden gem. read more

SPLENDIFEROUS!!! - as Don King used to say. So truly good. I enjoy the atmosphere, the cleanliness I love that the people are friendly and thoughtful. You know how, "old folks" say, "Clean goes a long way" when choosing a restaurant. Lindens is known for their very clean premises, clean dishes and utensils. Generous portions and reasonable prices. Each dish tastes like it was prepared with love . Your mama couldn't make it any better cuz if she could you wouldn't be reading my review. Scrumptious food that will make you wanna have them bring the chef to your table so you can "make it rain" on him or her with 'stacks' of ten dollar bills. read more

Wow! Great service the moment we walked into the door. Ordering was efficient, recommendation to swap the fries with potatoes and onions was much appreciated, and there restaurant was very clean. Getting the catfish and fried breaded mushrooms. Ambiance was great with the music and background chatter - not too much chatter to be distracting. Aryana was on point as a server! I will update review with meal photos. The fried breaded mushrooms disappeared before I could get a photo...they were that good! read more

Their chicken strips are amazing. The service and attention to detail is miserable. Short staffed or not, I was less than impressed.

Great service and food. We enjoyed the perch and mushroom and Swiss burger. Perfect location for our needs today when downtown.

Ate here a couple years ago and loved it. As part of my Support Local, we ordered from here tonight. Got the wings, of course. Dynomite! Called in the order. Easy in and out. They are totally set up to handle orders during this time of quarentine. Food is excellent. read more

The food is good, if you don't mind it being cold. I've been here 3 or 4 times since they relocated and the service has been ridiculously bad. The waitresses disappear from the dining room for 15+ minute periods, with no one visible but the bartender. Drink refills don't happen. Orders don't get taken for way too long. Food takes forever to arrive and is cold when it does. (I had a cold hamburger and cold fries with a few warm ones hidden in the pile), my buddy had cold perch and soggy cold fried pickles which were supposed to be an appetizer but came out with the food. The food *is* good... but this was my last time. I had a Groupon to use up. It's done, and so am I. Maybe I'll try the western avenue location, but the DTSB one is just not worth going to. Too many other options where the waitstaff is, you know, actually waiting on you instead of making you wait. read more

I believe they are known for their wings, and for a very good reason. Cooked to perfection and giant in size.

The best burger in town hands down. It was big and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Unbelievable. The employees are very friendly. Did I mention, the best burger I've ever had ? read more

Best wings in town! I also loved the drinks and fried potatoes. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Amazing!!! Tj is fabulous! He is a light! Not only is customer service great the food is too! If we lived here, we'd be regulars! Thank you all for amazing customer service & great food! read more

I first discovered this place last year and I'm so glad I did! The staff is very friendly. Food is so good and great portions! And I'm addicted to their cheesy tator tots read more

Service was way below par. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy and will not return again. Funny how this place treats people differently depending on your race. read more

Service or lack there of, my husband and I sat there for 15 minutes before the waitress acknowledged us, asked if we wanted drinks, five minutes later our drinks were delivered in to go cups with no menus, we assumed she would be bringing them back so we gave it a minute...just then a family of four entered and the same waitress warmly greeted them with menus and waters....at this point I went to the bar to pay for our drinks where the kind lady at the countered inquired about our meals, I informed her that we were never afforded the opportunity of menus and she told me not to worry about the cost of the drinks...I frequented Linden Grill often at lunch and was never treated this way...I felt well dare I say it, discriminated against. I grew up in South Bend and like to keep my money local, they lost a good customer with this one. read more

We were in South Bend for a hockey tournament. Stopped here for a burger with my daughter between games. The $5 kids menu was perfect, she got the burger and fries and it comes with a drink and snacks. I also got a burger, Trav special, and it was cooked perfect, plenty juicy. We had great service from our waitress, who was also the bartender. She swung by several times to check in on us and let us know how long till chow time. And the best part, knowing that the food would take a bit to get cooked, she gave me the snacks (Chips Ahoy and fruit snacks) right away in case I wanted to use them to tide over an impatient kid. We're on vacation, dessert before dinner? Heck yeah!!! read more

Fresh food? No I don't think so looks more like prepackaged food, you can tell by the soggy breading, the meat on the philly tasted unseasoned. As for the service just as bad if not worse, I placed a pickup order from door dash and had a buddy go pick it up, once he arrives he left waiting mins to be asked by a older man if he needs something, my friend reads off the order and also gives him my name then the man tells him that he needs to see the order from the phone in order to let him take the food because someone might try to steal it, first of all how would somebody know where to steal my food from If I placed the order. Then my friends says they made him wait longer and the worker claimed they were busy with orders while they restaurant was empty and he could hear the workers in back having the time of their lives. In the end the old man allowed me to send a screenshot as proof that I placed the order and finally gave my friend permission to take home cold nasty food an hour later. They also forgot something from the order. Never again from this location read more

Went downtown to try Linden Grill Catfish. I ordered Catfish, fries and slaw. Waitress was not paying attention to me as when I was ready to order. I received my meal there was no slaw. The catfish did not taste much like catfish very bland. Fries were crispy. I had better Catfish at J. J's, more like homemade southern style with corn meal read more

Service is a bit slow, but dear lord the hamburger is the best one I've had since my last in and out burger. Just a simple, perfectly cooked juicy patty on a perfectly toasted bun with simple condiments: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup. I'd give this place a higher rating except for the slow, but pleasant service, and the fries could be so much better. Oh the burger is priced well too! read more

Vacation continues in the Bend and I'm really enjoying the peace away from the Pow Wow in DC. I've walked and still walking around the familiar neighborhoods and places I hung out during my growing pains - don't get it twisted :/ so I'm downtown and I want something fast, fulfilling and good, but definitely not fast food. I come across this spot on Main Street in downtown South Bend - Linden Grill. It has an "ole" neighborhood vibe, and it's another addition to the host of other new restaurants, shops, stores, etc. Once inside I'm greeted by an employee (very pleasant) and she takes my order. Didn't order much, again all I wanted was something good, quick and fulfilling so I ordered this Turkey Melt sandwich. There was no crowd as it was kind of late in the day so I suppose this is as lite as its gets once the business day is/was over and that was fine with me. While waiting for my order, I took some time to look at the few business cards I'd scooped up since being back "home." Now LG lost some cool points when my sandwich arrived at least 35 - 40 minutes after ordering. Within 10 minutes of its arrival, the waitress apologized and told me the order would be coming soon, and she was nice about it unlike "the others." When it arrived, it arrived "fashionably" tasty looking. This sandwich was loaded with sliced turkey, melted cheese and tomatoes between thick-sliced and toasted Texas toast. I enjoyed every bit of that sandwich, slowly. When I make a return trip back "home" it's possible I'd come here again cause I have to try something different this time; then again, that sandwich is already a favorite. So we may just have to greet each other again. Thank LG. read more

Ate here this afternoon, completely unimpressed. The waitress was nice, but we waited 30-40 minutes for our food even though the dining room was practically empty. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that they were preparing something fresh for us...no such luck. Everything tasted frozen. The fries are straight Ore-Ida. The chicken filet on my club was so salty I could hardly eat it. My husband had a taco that was dried out, reheated garbage. Even the lemonade was watery. We won't be back. read more

Service was awful. Took a half hour to have someone acknowledge we were there and take a drink order. 20 min later, we were able to order. Our food. 45 min later, still no food. We paid for our beer and coffee (yup, still charged us for the drinks after the wait) and left. Waitress said that she can talk to her manager for a discount, but it's not up to her. Would have had a better experience at McDonalds. Sad. Wish I didn't have to give it one star. Should be an option for less than that. read more

The best casual dining Soul food restaurant in South Bend!!! Found the gem on groupon,got one hell of deal on food! so well worth the money,even without the deal. Even though it's a small restaurant, the friendly staff,great costumer service,laid-back atmosphere makes up for it. It's definitely a place where you bring the kids( I say the best time for kids is between 5pm-8pm), since the living band starts around 9:00pm. Now back on the food, I ordered their "Famous Burgers" loaded with deliciousness and bacon,So good. Husband had their wings, Can I say Amazing! Full of flavor and crispy in all the right parts! Lol Other family members got the catfish and shrimp combo( OH boy looked so good!) and the fish and chicken combo. All came with fries made from perfection, haven't had fries, like homemade fries like this in a looooong time! Will be going back! Thanks Linden Grill for a Awesome Dinner ! read more

We found the Linden Grill after we tried to go to a nearby breakfast place that an hour wait for breakfast. There was no wait, the food and staff were awesome, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back!! read more

My favorite place for wings hands down! Real wings that are both crispy and delicious! Can't forget about traditional Wing Wednesdays which includes BOTH wing and drink specials. Had some wings today with their honey mustard sauce, potatoes and onions, and a nice cold beer on the side....DELICIOSO! If you ever stop by, ask Kiki to wait on you, she's great! Positive attitudes, laid back atmosphere, and great food..can't go wrong! read more
