My wife and I went to Lynn's Cafe on a Tuesday evening. There was only one other group outside on the patio and we decided to dine inside. The waitress was prompt, friendly and helpful. I ended up getting their Chicken Strips and Chips which also comes with a dinner roll and coleslaw. They were probably some of the best chicken strips I have ever had. Long and thin and extremely crispy. The fries and coleslaw were so-so. My wife got the Hobo's Special which was basically hashbrowns with egg and green pepper on top I believe. She said it was "delicious". While waiting for our meal we noticed a menu board that listed hushpuppies for $1.99. We promptly placed an order for those as well and they were great. The waitress suggested we get them with butter which was an excellent recommendation. The prices were quite reasonable. I think for both our dinner, two drinks and the hushpuppies it was under $20. We will definitely go back again. read more

Lynn's is a great little breakfast place with a small town feel. Although they're known for breakfast, they also serve up Scotty Simpson's famous fish 'n chips. Although I'm unsure just how famous they are since this is the only restaurant advertising for it. Regardless, the food is great, the prices just, and the service is phenomenal. read more

Greasy, way beyond what you expect with fried food. The fish batter was dark on the outside, shimmering with grease, and yet raw inside. The fish was just cooked, which normally I'd applaud, but with my grease bath it was a bit nauseating. Shrimp were the same only the batter was spongy. Coleslaw was fresh but a little plain, after adding some salt it was edible but nothing special. Roll was soft and fresh, cold. Server was young and sweet, but difficult to understand. She sort of mumbled/slurred, but she wasn't surly like many teenagers and she got the order right, checked back with the right amount of frequency. If it wasn't for her, I'd have rated 1 star. It was also expensive. $42 for two fish & shrimp dinners and cokes. Most of it went back uneaten. Maybe things have changed, but I won't go again. I may not even be able to park in the lot for awhile. read more

First time customer. All food was overcooked and dry. Burger was beyond cooked, asked for medium. Fish was lousy. Fry oil seemed way past it time. read more

Lynn's Cafe is a nice little place set off of Main Street a couple of blocks west of Grand River. Seating is also available outside on a good sized patio away from traffic. This review is only for the Scotty Simpsons fish and chips which is served at Lynn's. Pros: beer and wine available here and not at Detroit location. Tonight they had Oberon on tap as one of the selections. Fish and cole slaw are same as Detroit location. Also have other items on menu that you would expect to find in a cafe like salads, burgers and such. Service was very good. Waitress was outgoing and even willing to try a shot of Ginger Beer as she did not know what it tasted like. Location of Lynn's is also in much nicer area. Cons: Fries and rolls are very ordinary and no where near as good as Detroit location. The biggest reason this is not a 3 star is because I was weaned on Scotty's in Detroit and am used to all 4 parts of the meal being like the original. You will have to give them both a try to see for yourself. I doubt I will try this location again but will be back to this part of Brighton to sample some of the other restaurants in the area. read more

Stopped by here for breakfast since my usual go-to breakfast place stops serving at 11am (PS: this is a horrible practice). Since the Brighton Farmer's Market was going on, I figured I'd people watch, grab some breakfast, then go shopping at the market. The atmosphere of the place is a semi industrial-ish with the concrete floors. the tables and chairs are on the cheaper end, though. It didn't really turn me off or anything. What was irritating was there was a sign saying, "Please wait to be seated" and after 2-3 minutes, no one even looked in my direction. I finally approached a waitress who was bussing a table and asked where I should sit. I was finally seated then. My waitress was cheerful and pleasant. I had to laugh when she overfilled my coffee and she ran around acting like it was a criminal activity. It was spilled coffee, it didn't get on my food or me, so it's not a big deal. The menu is full of nice breakfast creations. There are about 3-4 different kinds of eggs benedict, too. I settled on the eggs argyle which is eggs over smoked salmon, over a grilled tomato, over an english muffin. It was topped with hollandaise. They were a bit skimpy on the hollandaise, but the dish was really good and they were pretty generous with the salmon (which is likely the most expensive bit). However, the real TRAVESTY were the potatoes. They offer two types: the american fries, or the hash browns. I asked my waitress which was better and she steered me towards the american fries, which was supposed to be a baked potato diced up and crisped on the flat top. Whomever cooked these fries must've had a personal vendetta against potatoes; these were crunchy, dry, and pretty inedible. Even after a cursory dousing in hot sauce, salt, pepper, whatever extra hollandaise I had... they were still awful and inedible. I kept trying to find a piece which wasn't cooked to death and was fruitless. The service is spotty, some aspects of the food are good, and the menu is diverse and willing to serve breakfast past whatever arbitrary cut-off time other places has. I'd go back to give it another chance. When I do, I'll update you. read more

I have been coming to Lynn's for many years, even though the quality has gone down a bit with the new owners. I always like to support our local downtown Brighton businesses, however, today was my last visit to Lynn's. Tim was not only a slow, inattentive waiter/owner but he was downright rude. He nickel and dimes you to death and is very snippy and petty. The gentleman who refills the coffee is a delight though! read more

The food was very good but the service was horrible! Only one waitress working and it took 15 minutes for her to take our order. After receiving our food, she never once came back to refill our drinks. Then we asked for our check and it took over 20 minutes to get it. We will never go back because of the service. read more

Went here with my wife and son today, it was great. They have all of the traditional breakfast items as well as a few different types of eggs Benedict and some extra thick French toast. They also have a Captain Crunch French toast that I need to try next time. So the menu was diverse, the service was great, and the atmosphere was laid back and clean. I need to remember to go here more often because there are a lot of menu items I need to try. read more

Best fish and chips in town, love the atmosphere, their food is good for the soul. I've been coming here for a couple years now and I've met Lynn on several occasions. She's a really nice lady and helped me through a rough patch in life. I think her kind spirit is reflected in the restaurant through good food and good people. Very nice community feeling about it. read more

Lynn's cafe changed their cinnamon raisin toast to a generic piece of bread but still charge the same prices. Combine this with a rude staff, you all lost a customer. The only extra star is for the old gentleman who promptly refills coffee. read more

The pancakes are the best option for breakfast, but the other menu items are good as well. Service is friendly. Only negative thing about the restaurant for me is that they have Fox News playing on the TV, which takes some enjoyment away from the atmosphere. read more

Love this place. It's nothing fancy but the service is friendly and the food is good. A perfect little restaurant to grab a bite. We usually go for the fish fry but have enjoyed the occasional breakfast too although the place is usually a madhouse in the mornings. read more

Brighton's best kept secret. Lynn's features great breakfasts, lunches and fabulous fish and chips! Try their breakfast specials. Moderately priced and good, old fashioned home style cooking! Psst don't tell anyone else, but they have the best prices on beer and wine in Livingston County. Do yourself a favor and stop by. Tell Tim I sent you. Enjoy!! Michael Scholtz. read more

We come here often for Sunday breakfast or brunch. Excellent prices and great food. Portions are enough that I've never left hungry.

Good breakfasts, however, seating can be tight. I'm also a fan of booth-seating, which isn't an option.

We really love this place for breakfast! The food is so good and very reasonable and the service has always been great!

This is the Best Restaurant in town for Breakfast and Lunch! Great Food! love the new specials over the last few months. perfectly cooked quality ingredients read more

This place is a little hidden treasure. They have a small diner menu and prices you can't argue with. During Saturday and Sunday mornings you may have a bit of the weekend breakfast rush (there isn't a ton of seating) but any other time during the week there is no problem grabbing a seat. Defiantly worth a visit. read more

Food is good. I got the corn beef omelette. Service and atmosphere was not as great. Wish there were more options as well. I wanted to get tomatoes slices instead of toast because I am gluten free and they wanted to charge me $1... No where else I have been charges a difference read more

I review dining on the following points: appropriate ambiance, service, food choice, food quality, an appropriate menu for the price, and when there is one less category to rate than the others are weighed heavier. In this case, the restaurant lacked 2 of these and I am being kind. Ambience: Every seat ripped and duct taped and the only new/wear-free table wasn't seated while we were there. The interior did not meet the quality of the exterior. Food choices were diverse and the food seemed reasonably fresh and fairly good for the prices. The menu was appropriate for the diner-style restaurant that goes back over two decades. Service could be better. It appeared the server was assigned the restaurant and everyone backed her. It wasn't great. I was disappointed in the simple morning breakfast establishment that apparently became too big for its britches. read more

The fish and chips are great! Nice and crispy, not oily. The atmosphere is that nice and quiet downtown feel. If you're looking for beer or wine they don't sell that anymore according to the sign out front, but there's a brewery just across the street. read more

This is our go to spot for breakfast all day long!! They are very friendly with relatively good service depending on the day and server. Their breakfast selection is very good with a few unique options. The baked oatmeal is so good and warms you from the inside out on a cool day. Prices are decent as well. Enjoy this very much. read more

My grilled fish was good, kids meals good and liked the "chicken planks" tasting tenders. Fair prices. Gyro dry but I warned her not to order. Wait a tad long and chairs need reupholstering. Will update my rating based on the next meal . read more

Fish and chips average at best. I have had better at Red Robin. Breakfast is good to yummy waffles are the best on the breakfast menu.

Very friendly staff and super delicious food. My family and I love going here for breakfast. The breakfast quesadilla is delicious!

Very Nice. This was my first visit for breakfast . Food was excellent and service was excellent. I plan on returning soon. Correct hours are 8am-3pm everyday. (July 7,2019). read more

I have been here two times before and the fish and chips was amazing. But I've tried to come back two times in the past two days and they have been closed before 1 o'clock I wouldn't be so upset if they had their appropriate hours posted on line or even on their door. Beyond upset I wouldn't even go unless you call first and confirm that they haven't decided to close 4 hours early. read more

It was almost very good. Sunday morning, 10 a.m. We had oatmeal - one classic, one baked. Very good. The table next to us had a problem and one of their meals was replaced. However, the coffee was so weak it barely had the strength to make it to the table. I don't want Starbuck's/Panera strength. I just like some coffee flavor. The waitress said they grind it fresh and the amount added is automatic. They need to re-calibrate the machine or add some beans. The refill was a little stronger. The service is attentive to the point of annoying. Back off a little, kids, you're trying too hard. If I want more coffee I'll let you know or you'll see my cup is empty. We couldn't have a conversation without refill question interruptions. Chair was ripped and I couldn't slide it up to the table because the chair/floor friction was so great. All in all, just ok. read more

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Did I say everything about this dive was terrible? It was. We decided to give it a try, even after changing seats, as the duct tape was sticking to my pants. Awful coleslaw, cheap old bun, the tartar sauce was just mayonnaise, the fish was greasy, cold, and overcooked, slimy, gross. The fries were greasy, old grease, nasty. We left quickly, after beginning to feel ill, just sampling a bite. The lady gave us 10% off, as we had only eaten the stale bun for sustenance, I would say, we were not only 10% unsatisfied, we were about 100% horrified. Good luck to those trying this back woods cookery, and to those loyal local diners, do enjoy, no offence intended. We did have to take some indigestion medication, and later had a fillet of fish at McD,s which was delicious. read more

Terrible service today. I was charged $15 for an omelette with sausage, feta, onion and tomato. When I confronted the owner questioning how a $9 omelette ended up being so much, she yelled at me and then walked off. Disappointed. read more

Met here with a friend and the place was mediocre! Got a hamburger and fries and it was fine. Nothing special. Did not get a refill on my water which was annoying. Don't care to come back here. read more

When my brother lived in town, we would go to Lynn's almost every weekend for breakfast. They are pretty much the only place I would ever actually pay for breakfast food. It's that good. Their lunch food is excellent as well. read more

It is tasting better. Our first two visits were disastrous. Then out of desperation we tried it for breakfast and it was soooo much better. Hoping it can be a FIVE soon as the cook is either new or has taken classes and learned some new techniques in the kitchen. KEEP IT UP,we need more affordable options in Brighton. read more

Had a wonderful late breakfast there after a quick court date across the street. Arguably it's best point is the location so that you can walk out of the Brighton District Court and across a short street into a clean quaint cafe. The atmosphere is bright and airy. The food tasty and affordable. I had a glass of fresh brewed ice tea, yes the real stuff. Then tried their special the chili cheese omelette with fresh tomatoes, country fries and rye toast. The chili was also homemade and not too spicy and was perfect in this omelette. It really could have used a tad more cheese but still tasty all in all. Toast was buttered and done perfectly, not all dried out and the country fries just as you would expect. I was hungry not having been able to catch a meal before hand and so I was delighted that the portion size was decent as well as satisfying. The service was friendly and well done. I will go back again and I would recommend it to friends. One of Brighton's lesser known undiscovered gems. It's definitely not a chain style restaurant and I'm glad to have found it . read more

First time there. The fish was good as expected but the fries were undercooked and the roll was very dry like it was weeks old.

Best breakfast in Brighton hands-down. Little pricier than most breakfast joints, but it's worth every penny. Service is fantastic.

My wife and I have had a mediocre experience at this café. All I can really say is poor.....poor food, poor décor, poor service. We had the fish and chips -- not going back. We see why the café was empty on a Saturday night. read more

Very good breakfast, portions were good except for kids portion was a little small. We will definitely come back here. Very busy on weekends and not a lot of room to wait. read more

Good breakfast. It has a small town diner feel to it. Nice location by the mill pond.
