HIDDEN GEM Wow! the…read moresmell from the moment you walk in the door speaks for itself. We visited this town today and we're driving around looking for somewhere to eat for 20 minutes and we stumbled upon this place. What a hidden gem! Cool decor and lots of conversation pieces. The service was great, friendly and the options of different meats/dishes was great! They had a lot of cool beers to try and some cute desserts too. Will definitely be coming back, and pointing bbq lovers to this cool spot!

Maybe people around there don't know what good BBQ is?…read more Food - brisket was dry. The sides must have been scraped from the sides or bottom, they were also dry and subpar (or below). Service - our gal was ok (4/10). And if it's not your servers table, they won't even look at you. And yes, I tried when I needed a box for my dry leftovers (for my dog) They don't have ranch, don't ask, the answer was a very aggressive "no!" Ambiance - meh, the service isn't welcoming so there's that. No welcome and no "thanks for coming". Moral of this review - if it were the last place to eat on earth, I might eat there but a dandelion salad with no ranch would be better.

The space is small but charming, with a beautiful bar area and cozy seating throughout. We ended up with a great table. The pizza is some of the best I've had--truly outstanding. We ordered the pesto and arugula pizza as well as the sausage pizza, and both were excellent. We started with the meatballs, which were fantastic, and a Caesar salad that was fresh and very well done. Service was great, and the ambience was warm and inviting. This was our first time in Mount Vernon, and we found it to be a charming college town. We even drove around the campus, which added to the experience. Overall, we had a wonderful evening at Lincoln Wine Bar and would highly recommend it. I've been wanting to go back ever since--the pizza really stays with you. An incredible pie and a great spot.

You would think is this a Hawkeye bar. You know, the place to watch a Hawk's game. Well, mama's wrong again, folks. Sure, the game is on the TV and the freaking Tipsy Trolley is in the parking lot with its plenitude of fake Hawkeye fans, but that doesn't mean you are going to get to watch the game. Nope, they won't play game with sound, because the fake Hawkeye fans - you know, the ones sporting Hawkeye colors but not giving a damn that the Hawkeyes are going for 8-0 because they want the freaking jukebox on DURING the effing game - won't allow the sound on because the game disrupts their drunken singing. Second, cash only. Enough said. Third, just try to get the bartenders attention. Don't even bother waving the cash in the bartender's direction because nobody is coming. Locals don't count for sh*t here, only Tipsy Trolley fakers. I'm not bothering with this place again. And, don't bill yourself as a freaking Hawkeye bar if you don't play the game on TV with sound and can't get the people in the bar to cheer when the Hawks score because they are to busy singing to the effing jukebox. For God's sake! It's a freaking Hawks game!
