Founded in 2011 our seasonal menu features comfort food with a twist. LINCOLN pays tribute to one of the greatest US Presidents, with nods to many of his favorite foods including our signature chicken pot pie & another star on the menu, our kale salad. The menu is focused but varietal.
Our cocktails are truly one-of-a-kind. Our barkeeps have created one of the city’s thoughtful bar programs highlighted by infused bourbons and DC's first moonshine-list served in antique-style copper cups. Our patio is open all year-round, offering a relaxed, urban landscape. Don't miss our butcher cut NY Strip or the city's best Mac & Cheese. LINCOLN is the right place for your next private event with many options for private dining from 10 to 200.
Original paintings & distinctive interior design by homegrown artist, Maggie O’Neill. LINCOLN is your destination for Lunch, happy hour, dinner or brunch. We are open Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Easter & Mother's Day for your special celebration.

    This is my absolute favorite brunch place! I had not been in a few years and decided to go for my birthday. They have a new manager and he is absolutely amazing!! The music, service and food was great! Moses was our waiter and he always gives outstanding service! They have changed the unlimited brunch and I think it is an amazing value for your money. We will definitely be back more often. Thank you for making my birthday brunch special!

    A little quiet the night we visited, but super attentive service and well-priced comfort food made up for any lack of ambiance.

    The salmon was not fresh and this obviously was a disappointment. However, the server was gracious and removed the item from our bill. The house manager came out & apologized and thanked me for alerting them so they will check the rest of the salmon.

    I used to love Lincoln DC, the food was amazing. While the atmosphere and DJ were still great. The food and quality were AWFUL. Only one small shrimp in my shrimp and grits, French toast sticks now replace fresh French toast. There was only one thing that was actual good at brunch and that was the fresh made omelets. Unfortunately, I can’t return.
