About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
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.

    Very noisy environment. Prices are high for the quantity of what you get. Food tasted good. Recommend skipping coffee and dessert; this is not their strong point. Servants were very attentive.

    Father’s Day brunch no longer includes the buffet anymore, only unlimited waffle and omelet station for 31$ and anything else is extra. There was no mention of this change on the website. It was a bait and switch and since it was Father’s Day, all other options were probably booked… so we stayed. My party of 6 was originally sat in the back and when I asked to move to the many available 6+ seats in the main room, evidently my husband heard the staff complaining about my request as he was passing the front desk since he arrived later than me due to him parking the car. My husband had to send his eggs back 3 times for them to attempt at over medium temp. The manager approached us about the problem but only offered to get us something else. My husband resigned and ate his over medium-well eggs.That was our last time attending Lincoln for brunch. The egg debacle ruined his Father’s Day experience.

    10 out of 10 highly recommend The Lincoln. Currently one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. Took my bf out for Father’s Day Brunch and it was phenomenal!! The omelette and waffle station served food cooked to order and the bottomless mimosa option was well worth it! The staff was courteous and very kind and the decor was interesting. We will most definitely be returning!!

    I visited this spot over the weekend for brunch, and while the vibe was cool with music playing, there was no live DJ or dancing, which we were kind of expecting. We went for the unlimited mimosas, but were disappointed to learn they don’t leave carafes at the table. Instead, you have to wait for refills — and the service was slow and not very attentive. Our server seemed overwhelmed and a bit irritated, even though the restaurant didn’t appear very busy. They also got my friend’s order wrong, but at least they did fix it. On a positive note, the food was actually really good — probably the best part of the experience. Overall, it was just okay for me, and I don’t think I’d go back unless it’s the last resort of brunch spots.

    I never write negative reviews, but this experience was so horrible, I feel compelled to warn others. The service was the worst experience I've ever had, and we didn't even see our server for over 30 minutes two different times during our meal. We were a family of 6 with no complicated orders. We didn't receive one of our entrees until almost everyone had finished their meal already. We had to ask 4 times for drink refills, and it took over 30 minutes for one of the refills to come. We asked for salt and pepper from two different server/runners and never received it. After another 30+ minutes without seeing our server, we had to ask the host for our check. It took 19 minutes after asking to get our check. There were no apologies or adjustments to the check for the poor service and lack of bringing refills.
