Located in the heart of South Boston, Lincoln is a classic American tavern that offers guests a welcoming combination of home-spun, American fare alongside a wide variety of rustic, wood-fire-grilled specialties.

Built with the intention of being a comfortable meeting spot for locals looking to share stories at the end of their long day, Lincoln draws inspiration from it’s surrounding, hard-working, and uniquely American neighborhood.

Revitalizing a nearly forgotten West Broadway space that at one time housed the area’s only department store, Lincoln feels nostalgic. It’s open-air, tiled-floor cafe, grande bar, and soaring, original tin ceilings remind us of a time when dining halls and supper clubs were a way of life.

    The rule where each person at the table must order food during brunch hour is really off-putting. The staff were very pushy about it. We would have stayed much longer and spent much more if this wasn’t the case. We left to go somewhere much more enjoyable.

    Had a great brunch with some friends yesterday. The food was great, and we were all really happy with the wide variety of sweet and savory dishes. Our server was lovely and so patient with us, as our fourth was running behind in traffic. Our server was super accommodating and on top of refilling waters and getting us drinks. Unfortunately, upon receiving the bill we left on a sour note. My friend ordered two mezcal palomas (a pretty standard bar order), and they ended up costing $25 each. Referencing the other tequila-based cocktails on the menu that were roughly $13-15, this seemed like a steep increase for a basic cocktail. I’m unsure if their only Mezcal option was a top shelf bottle, but I wish we would have had more discrepancy there. She didn’t even finish her second drink and felt compelled to as it cost more than her meal! We felt uncomfortable mentioning it to our server because she was great, and just ended up paying for the overpriced cocktails.

    Table was sticky,and silverware was dirty. Salad was served soggy. Clearly prepared in advance. Sandwich ingredients were not as listed on menu. Hash browns overcooked and visually unappetizing.

    It did not say anywhere that complete parties are expected to be present in order to be sat. Yet when two of the three of us were there, we got sat. I LOVED being with my friends, but there was not much celebration from the server of the occasion. A slight bummer.
