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!!

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

Great service great food everyday no matter the time of day experience short wait timesread more

I had the misfortune of experiencing the worst breakfast in years at this establishment. I ordered…read morea ham and Swiss omelette, specifically requesting that my eggs not be brown. To my dismay, they arrived completely overcooked and unappetizingly brown. To add insult to injury, my toast was burnt to a crisp, nearly charred to a shadow of what it should have been. When I pointed this out to the waitress, her nonchalant response was, "It's kind of burnt," as if there are acceptable levels of burn. In my opinion, when the toast is predominantly black, it clearly falls into the category of "burnt." The overall quality of the meal was abysmal, and it was evident that the staff couldn't have cared less about my experience. While I was not charged for the meal, I wouldn't have paid for it even if I had to. There's simply no way I could bring myself to eat here again. Curiously, my husband ordered a similar omelette, but his came out perfectly yellow and appetizing, along with toast that was actually edible. This made me wonder if my request not to burn my food inadvertently insulted the cook, leading to my meal being intentionally scorched. After sending the dish back, I received not a word of apology or even an offer to prepare something else. It was a complete lack of customer service. This review, without a doubt, has to be the most negative I've ever written. Normally, I refrain from posting bad reviews because I understand that everyone can have an off day. If a restaurant attempts to rectify their mistakes, I tend to be forgiving. But in this case, the food was nothing short of garbage on a plate, and the indifference from the staff was glaring.

Ripple & Company - Brisket Birria Sandwich

I almost got the Smokehouse Nachos, because I love a good smoked-meat-and-chip situation at a…read morebarbecue joint. But then mine eyes doth glanceth upon the words "Brisket Birria Sandwich" on the menu, and I had to pivot. I'm so glad that I went with my heart. The Brisket Birria Sandwich at Ripple & Company consists of smoked brisket, white cheddar, red onions and cilantro, all melted and pressed between a roll, and served with birria consomme. You dip the sandwich in the consomme and eat, kind of like a French dip. Dip and eat, dip and eat, until you can't dip and eat anymore, either because it's all gone or because your stomach is about to burst. It's a big sandwich, and it is also served with incredibly delicious fries, which doesn't help with the stomach bursting thing. This whole meal is amazing and I would visit Ripple & Company just to eat this exact thing again. I visited with people who ate at Ripple & Company quite frequently, and they got their favorites: The Black & Gold Pub Burger, and the Cajun Shrimp Tacos, with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. Everyone enjoyed everything. As a nice surprise, one of my dining mates ordered the Smokehouse Nachos for us to share, as if we didn't have enough food. But there's a different chamber in my stomach for chips and nachos, and luckily, that chamber was empty, so it worked out just fine. The nachos are great, with tender pieces of shredded pork, pickled jalapenos, a vegetable mix, green onions and chipotle ranch drizzled on top. The service here is great: We were seated right away, ordered right way, and our food came out within a good amount of time. The decor is car and transportation themed, with traffic signs and hubcaps hung up on the walls. Very fun.

Meh. As cool as it looked inside, I found the functional stop light annoying. Service was mediocre…read more I feel like everyone was emotionless. It was kinda creepy. The spoon bread was not good. AND, not that I'm counting this against them, but how are you gonna sell me spoon bread and not give me a spoon? Lol. Shrimp tacos were also meh. Very bitter. Shrimp was a good size, but lacking something in the flavor department. The fries were good though. My friend complained about her burger being good, but excessively greasy. Sure enough, I saw a pool of grease on her plate that was dripping out of her burger. I wish I had taken a picture
