American
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.

    We arrived early for our reservation, despite it being busy they seated us right away in a booth plenty big for six. We ordered apps and drinks before a show we were attending across the street, everything was very good. Service was attentive and efficient. Definitely a younger crowd, and it was pretty loud, but not in a bad way. Lots of TVs so we could keep track of football scores. Overall a very good experience!

    I’ve always loved Lincoln tavern- the food was delicious (slider apps, BLTC, and breakfast pizza), our LT iced coffees hit the spot and our server was polite and efficient. The food came out WAY too fast and one entree was delivered several minutes before the other. Felt like we were being rushed out and didn’t have time to enjoy our appetizers and order another drink before our entree came out. We ordered Espresso martinis halfway through our entree and they tasted watered down. Overall a little disappointing for what I know Lincoln Tavern to be.

    Horrid service. They were also running a promotion for a free appetizer with the purchase of any entree, pizza or salad. When the bill came they said that the app we ordered didn’t qualify. However, their promotion didn’t specify that it was for specific apps only. Lame dining experience.

    Went to get dinner with my buddy to catch up. Was too loud and it was a zoo. It was more of a social club/ bar than a restaurant to get dinner. Due to the fact that there were so many people there service was slow and poor.

    Everything was pretty decent. Price for the portion sizes, ambiance was pretty for the holidays, and food runners were quick. The server seemed to not want to serve the table. Had to close out at the bar. My friends wanted to tip terribly but as a server myself I felt too bad so we left 18 percent. No idea what happened honestly. She may have been very busy?

    Server had an attitude the ENTIRE time, despite trying to be helpful and kind. ( long blonde hair and was wearing a sparkly patriots t-shirt). Whenever she came by to take our orders she seemed like she was annoyed to be doing her job. Very unprofessional. I understand everyone has bad days but she seemed to not be able to get through the shift without attitude! On top of that, there was wait staff waiting to clock in blocking the entrance to the hallway/ bathrooms, making it hard to get to the restroom.

    If you’re looking for bar food (a little greasy with lots of sauces and dips) this is a great place. Very plentiful portions, very tasty and filling food, very attentive and nice wait staff.
