Sausage omelet w/ American fries and wheat toast.  Very hearty portions at a really good price.
Dan H.

Visited the Linnwood Tavern at about 0730 on a Saturday morning. Social distancing was in effect and people had on masks when/where appropriate. Ordered the sausage omelet for breakfast and was thick and had an ample amount of cheese. It was very tasty. I have yet to order something off of the breakfast menu that was not superb. Very good breakfast. Saturday mornings are fun there because at about 0900 the bar starts filling up with people that are continuing the party from the night before. There is lots of music playing on the TouchTunes and darts being played at 0900 in the morning. Lafayette is a factory town so there are many bars/taverns that open at 0700 to accommodate the third shift crew. Linnwood Tavern is one of them and does a good job of accommodating the different crowds in the morning. The bar got remodeled and painted over the initial shutdown in the SPring and is very well done. It is a smoking bar so that may affect your decision to visit. The 'smoke eaters" do a pretty decent job while you are there, but when you walk out you can tell you were in a smoking bar. I am not a smoker, but it never has much of an affect on me. The Linnwood Tavern is a place for great breakfast and a good time, even at 0800 on a Saturday morning!!!

Lunch special beef and noodles

Lynnwood Tavern is a local neighborhood bar, nothing fancy. There is a small stage for bands to perform, and some space for patrons to dance. There are plenty of TVs lining the walls, as well as dart boards and a jukebox pumping out music. This is a smoking establishment, with clean ashtrays on every table. I haven't visited during the evening, yet, to partake in any other entertainment they provide, so this review is about the food. And the food is good. New ownership revamped the menu and cleaned the place up a bit. There are daily specials, and breakfast is served every day until 2 pm. The beef and noodles is awesome, just the right amount of food, at a very good price. Their pork tenderloin is mammoth, and the breading stays crunchy throughout the meal. The bun looks puny covering the huge slab of meat. I recently discovered Lynnwood's breakfast menu. Normally, I go right for the corned beef hash. But my wandering eyes fell upon this contraption called the stuffed hashbrown waffle: hashbrowns with diced green peppers and onions and your choice of breakfast meat, cooked on a waffle iron. It comes with two eggs, and toast/biscuit. It looks a little funky, but the crispy shell combined with the fresh peppers and onions make this an amazing dish. You only live once, so I ordered a side of sausage gravy to go with it.There was enough gravy to cover the huge biscuit AND the meal. I think I found my new breakfast favorite. Lynnwood Tavern now does accept credit cards. The kitchen hours are limited: 7 am - 2 pm every day, and 5 pm - 8 pm M - W, 5 pm - 9 pm Th - Sat. I would have given Lynnwood Tavern five stars except for the blast of smoke smell when you enter, and lingers inside. If you are a smoker, you probably won't notice it. The staff is great and attentive; when it gets busy they can be taxed so be patient.

Breakfast burrito - sausage, egg and cheese. Great reheated, too!!!

Best breakfast north of Main Street in Lafayette! I've had multiple selections and they've all been excellent. I think over the last year the food quality and selection has actually gotten BETTER.

Fun time with my brother!! Love this place! Atmosphere is awesome!!
Judy A.

This is the place to go when you are in the area and you are parched!! They have anything you can imagine when it comes to alcohol and their food is excellent!! Great place to meet up with others and laugh the day away!!

Great bar and food. Unfortunately, the smoking ruins both the food and the atmosphere.

Would you please consider going non smoking?? My friends and I enjoy Linnwood but the smoking is a deal breaker.

Didn't even stay. Went for breakfast on Sunday and it was a cloud haze of smoke and ashtrays. Not conducive to Sun morning breakfast

An amazing experience, from start to finish. Boilerhouse Prime is 100% worth the splurge, in my…read moreopinion. My food was excellent, the service was top-notch and the ambiance is beautiful. It was a great place to have a nice solo steak dinner in West Lafayette. I don't eat steak often, but when I do, I want it to be amazing. And my steak was amazing! I got the 8-ounce Linz Heritage filet, Sam Allen style, which meant that it also came with grilled shrimp and a chimichurri. Yum yum yum to all three things. I usually order my steak medium-well, but the server suggested medium, so I went with it. Good choice! My server was very wise, even though he looked like he was still in college. Along with the steak, I got a side of grilled mushrooms, which came in a brown sauce with chives sprinkled on top. But first: I started with an heirloom tomato salad, which was served with stracciatella cheese, basil and these cool balls that looked like roe, but were actually balls of balsamic vinegar. Fancy! It was fresh and light, and the perfect appetizer to get during a summer in Indiana, when them tomatoes be poppin'. I don't know why I'm reviewing my meal backward, but just go with me, people. Before everything, you get complimentary rolls and butter. Oh man! I could have made a meal just from the bread and butter, both of which were tender and soft, and so salty and flavorful. At the very beginning of my meal, I started with an Old Fashioned, because I read that Boilerhouse Prime is known for their Old Fashioneds. This one was well balanced, and came with a nice bourbon cherry. I also got a glass of Malbec along the way with my meal, which went well with my steak. This seems like an adults-only restaurant, but I was sitting close to a big table that had a family with kids, so well-behaved kids are definitely allowed, even though I did not see a kids menu.

If you judge your dining experience based on how much you spend, you're gonna love this place…read more However if you base it on the food quality given the price point, you will not be as enamored with it. Last time I got the lobster bisque and it may have been the best I've ever had. I ordered it again and it was terrible. Just terrible. Tasted kind of bitter and was much too dark for a lobster bisque. The side dishes are enormous and they were all ok. The charred broccoli is an entire stalk thrown on a grill. Char on outside, raw on inside. Lovely. My American Wagyu bone-in strip was good, though it tasted no different than prime meat and did cost $95. I would have hoped for better than just 'good'. Family enjoyed most items. I sampled the wedge and really liked that. Probably best part of the meal. Oysters were excellent. Drinks are always good here. They have upgraded their rum list and have some high quality ones now. That's great! Service is always top notch. I will definitely be back for happy hours. The food at this restaurant is good. But when 2 adults and 3 kids drop $800 on a meal, it really ought to be fantastic, not just good.

As a wee child and teenager, it was the location of choice to celebrate birthdays and holidays. As a college-aged adult in training, it was the place to meet up with friends, share some drinks, and watch Jerry dance on top of the bar. Even now, as a married man in his thirties, living a ten-hour drive away, I make it a goal to enjoy Nine Irish Brothers once per year at the very least. When my childhood best friend of eighteen straight years passed away, this location marked the final stop in the bar crawl that was held in his honor. When another friend had bravely "come out" only to be to rejected by some of his religious friends, Nine Irish was the place where my wife and I were able to sit down with him over some Guinness and goat cheese fritters and show him how much we love him. The food and drinks are fantastic, and the memories are forever. Whether you've lived in Lafayette/West Lafayette all your life, you're new to the area, or you're just passing through, I cannot recommend this pub enough--no matter your age. O'Bryan's Nine Irish Brothers is one of a kind. Sláinte!

Pepitas on avocado toast? The idea never crossed my mind until I ordered the avocado toast at…read more8Eleven Modern Bistro, but now I'm obsessed. Hooray for an iron-rich breakfast. They put a generous layer of spiced seeds on top of the avocado, so there are lots of crunchy bits in every bite. I got the avocado toast with an over-medium egg on top, so my breakfast was a textural delight. I visited 8Eleven for a little brekkie, so I only know the morning menu. They have a pared down breakfast here, with a dozen or so options: a couple of omelets, a couple of toasts, eggs in different permutations. A parfait and an acai bowl and some steel-cut oats are also on the menu. They also offer fresh juice. The black coffee is great. The service is great. If you visit for breakfast around 7:30 or 8 a.m. like I did, there aren't too many people, so you'll probably get your food quickly. The restaurant itself is classy but not stodgy.

First off, I have always picked where I want to sit, the part about "server is busy, and that table is served by a specific server" is nonsensical, they should really change or add a server to the seating area that customers prefer (near window, more lighting etc) rather than having the customer sit somewhere else for their servers convenience. Secondly, I picked up the glass for water and it smelled like an egg, I called out the server (who already seemed annoyed to change of seats) and told her about the glass and the response I got was "we wash our glasses in vinegar so it must be that", well first off, I know the difference between vinegar and egg smell, secondly, it was disgusting and I cannot drink water in it, instead of arguing, she really should have just changed the glass, it's not that hard.
