Lindenwood Diner & Restaurant

This place is my «go-​to» diner after weekend runs. The food is always good. Burgers, omelettes, or even taco salads. The extra star is for the amazing service you’ll get. Ample parking on site and on the street. Come early Sunday or the place will be packed with the Church crowd. The more the merrier…

I eat here all the time and the manager (Franklin)is thee sweetest man I ever met. I had an issue with a waiter and he handled it professionally and expiditiously. The food and drinks are OUTSTANDING!!! Love this place and I will never steer away… by the way, THE CRABLEGS AND MARGARITAS ARE DELISH!!!

As of late I have not been as excited about the food here. I have received «old» or «refried» bacon. not cool. I have had a jambalaya with cilantro and okra in it. FYI — the trinity for creole food is bell pepper, onion and celery. Cilantro doesn’t belong in jambalaya nor does okra, and jambalaya is a dry rice mixed with seafood and meat, it is not wet. The taste was not creole at all thanks to the cilantro. Cilantro doesnt go on everything! I mean its on almost EVERY dish made here now. The dinner prices are getting out of hand… $ 21 for a main course SOUP is absurd and $ 25 for a salmon main dish is crazy, as well. I don’t mind paying high prices but prices have to «match» the food and the quality/​taste. All in all still my favorite diner… but something is different here and Im not digging it as much. Good portions and service and staff are great as usual!

This is a good diner for meat lovers, which isn’t my thing, but it’s okay. I had two jumbo eggs and home fries, with a side of whet toast. Eggs were perfectly done — over medium. Home fries were little squared potatoes that tasted like they might’ve been cooked in meat stock (maybe chicken?), so I wasn’t that into them. Had some grits as well, with cheese, which was really just a square of American cheese on top. Shared some pancakes, which were the best part of the meal. They hooked us up with the coffee and grits, which we appreciated. Cool vibe, smooth jazz sounds, staff is chill, and affordable prices!

the food is always great, staff awsome, can’t ask for better food, however they are very pricey & don’t deliver such a buzz kill, however I will continue coming the place is great!

This place does not have the typical diner menu. They put a Latin/​Caribbean spin on things. Also they are KNOWN for their crab legs. Talk about flavorful! Also, if you want a strong drink… come here!

I stopped by last night to watch the comedy show. When I entered I was greeted with a smile and led to this bat cave in the back of the restaurant with a lot of noise and a lot of people packed in like sardines. I don’t know who told me to think about going there. I guess I was bored. I ordered light because I ate a wonderful lunch. The sampler is all junk food in my opinion. I will need to stop by and try the crab legs or something else. I asked for extra dipping sauces too cause I don’t like people who double dip so I would like my own! The waiter who’s been there since the Fonz was alive told me $ 1.00 for every additional sauce. I said may I have some free mustard. The potato skins had no seasoning. The wings weren’t really buffalo wings and the chicken fingers tasted like it was saturated in oil. I mean I walked out yelling that’s heart attack food. lol.
Anyway I was there for 30 minutes. I will try it again in the future.

If Brooklynite ever brags to you about Lindenwood,?take their word for it and try it out! A lot of people are iffy about diner food, but get the stick up out that ass and go to Lindenwood! They have an A rating and the food is phenomenal! The portions are huge and the ambiance is warm and social (there’s always a healthy crowd). The crab is great although I prefer snow crab to king crab for the sweeter taste and softer texture. I’m also not fond of the sauce– it’s like a Cajun dipping sauce which isn’t my fave at all. However, the food is so good I eat it anyway.

Service so so. greeters were very friendly. Food not so great. They no longer have biscuits or fried fish thathey were famous for.

If you’re looking for food to satisfy you this is the place if you’re looking for food to WOW you I’m not 100% comfortable saying that… Is it worth the money? yes, is the service good? Its great which is what made me give it 4 stars instead of three… Overall a good place to dine in

Great food!
The food came very quickly and it was quite tasty
Great portion sizes and full of flavor. Great presentation as well.
Would definitely go back!!!
Lets hope it stays consistant
The décor is a little dated but the food more then makes up for it

Had dinner here with my boyfriend and it was amazing. We both had chicken Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo. Everyone is so friendly and very welcoming. The service is great. Definitely coming here more often.

The comedy show was good. I was laughing the while night. the cheese burger and onion rings were on point… great night with family and friends.

The Lindenwood Diner is a great spot in the area to get food and drinks. It’s always pretty packed and busy with people coming in and out. They have an abundance of waitstaff so things move along quickly.
Pros:
–Large variety in the menu of choices.
–Strong drinks (avoid the mojito. Not good)
–Clean and orderly.
–Music-​I love Spanish music and that’s primarily what they play
–Outdoor seating is available.
–Take out service is available.
Cons:
–Changes to meals have to be run by a manager. A customer shouldn’t have to wait to speak to a manager. Speaking to a waiter or waitress should be enough.
–They don’t deliver.
I definitely will be back!

Most times I’m at linden wood on a regular basis. I enjoy the live comedy showcase on, Wednesday nights. The food is always good, and the drinks are well made. I would recommend anyone who likes to laugh, and grab a bite to eat on a weekday. It’s free before 8pm, reserve your table early and enjoy.

Best diner hands down!!! Everyone is beyond friendly && mangenment is awesome. The food is bomb. I hate breakfast food (eggs bacon waffles etc) but they have the best breakfast ever. The sandwhichs r filling & the pasta is amazing. I havent had the crab legs yet but i must try it. I been commin here for years &&* i will continue to come until the sad day they close

Growing up in East New York, there are a lot of things great about my hood and this diner IS NOT the only one! Now that I cleared that up, LOL this diner has been a neighborhood hit for years. I remember my mom bringing me and my brother here for breakfast after church years ago. The décor still looks the same with that old skool look and feel.
My friends and I come here to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and break ups, LOL. Depending on the time you come you can expect to wait a while for a table. I’ve never been here and it was empty, never. The staff are always cool and helpful and I’ve never had negative experience here.
I’ve been to their after work comedy shows and had a ball while cracking up to some local comedians. I don’t eat seafood so I can’t comment on their famous crab legs. However, most of my friends order some combination of the crab legs and another meat and vegetable. When you look around the restaurant you see that a lot of patrons have ordered and are chowing down on some crab legs as well. The drinks are tasty and expensive like most alcoholic drinks in a restaurant.
Overall, you will enjoy the service and food at this old time spot in Brooklyn.

I’ve been to this diner a couple of times and I must say that their food has always been on point ! I’ve been here for breakfast, lunch and diner. Yes… Location is not that good BUT the food is delicious. I’ve ordered their crab legs and baked clams… I was very impressed for a DINER! Best diner in Bklyn !

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by someone.
Not sure if he was the owner or not, but he shook my boyfriend’s hand & escorted us over to a booth.
I loved the murals on the walls, didn’t take a picture because I didn’t want the people sitting in front of the wall to feel like I was invading their privacy.
For appetizers we had sweet plantains & mozzarella sticks.
I had arroz con pollo for my entrée & he had the pernil.
Wish we could’ve tried their drinks but I was the DD & he was on antibiotics.
We will definitely be coming back here when we’re both 100%!

NOTE: Would have given the max 5 stars if it weren’t for the location.
The chefs in this diner make such amazingly delicious food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The complementary bread is also amazingly scrumptious, soft, and fluffy. Tip: Ask for seconds if you want more bread but be warned that the entrée portions are BIG!
Order Wraps:
(Note: All but The Island Shrimp are wrapped in a Yellow Tortilla and served with Waffle Fries.)
— — — Honey Chicken (grilled chicken breast, turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato & honey mustard dressing)
Order Caribbean & Latin Specialties:
(Note: Served with a choice of Soup or Salad)
— — — Jerked Pork Chops (collard greens and yucca fries)
Order Pasta & Chicken:
(Note: Served with a Soup or Salad or a choice of Potato & Veggie)

Welps, you can order just ANYTHING on the menu and you will leave feeling satisfied with smiles and a full stomach!
