    The Linc has a very good menu, with a wide range of options. I really love the additional 20+ specials they have to add further variety to their main menu. And their pork cutlets are the best. Awesome flavours. They could improve their desert options. The staff are always friendly and serve you very quickly. It's a nice venue for a meal. Greta atmosphere. Easy to get a park out the back or in the side street.
