Visited my nephew for about a week. Went in 1 morning for breakfast and loved the food. Ended up eating there 3 times. The staff was so friendly and the food was great! Loved the chicken fried steak.

Lindy’s Diner was a treat to stop at for a late lunch! The Spartacus Burger and the Lindy Club were SO good! I highly recommend stopping here for lunch, especially when you travel Route 66. A big thank you to the owners for talking with us about the history of the place. You will not be disappointed trying out this yummy place! My sister and I especially loved it because her name is the same. ?

Good food but wait staff could have been a bit more attentive. It is a cute place though, and seems clean.

Went here for breakfast and at first everything seemed fine. The longer I sat in there, the more red flags I saw. Me and my peers ordered orange juice and it tasted sour and looked clumpy in the cup. I will say they did take this off of our bill with no pushback so that’s good. The only reason they got two stars was because the food was decent. But that’s all it was… DECENT. If I wasn’t hungover and hungry I probably would of got up and left the plate sitting there. Also from where I was sitting, I could see the cooks in the back throwing items in and out of the microwave. I understand that some places do this but I recommend to move it away from the window because it gives a bad look for the establishment. The restaurant also doesn’t seem properly maintained in cleanliness and the staff look like they dont even want to be there. Hope this review gives them a reason to step up their game!

This diner does not look and feel like the standard diner, more like a bar that serves breakfast. A bit dingy, a bit disheveled. Feels a bit rough. The only thing that could be "diner" is the old coke machine. No shakes, no soda fountain. The service was par at best, there were a total of 6 patrons including the two of us and I had to find my own utensils and had to wave the server down for a second cup of coffee. The gal was not rude per se, but not a friendly word came out of her, not a smile, despite my many thank yous and please. The food is meh. Had the pancakes ($5.99), for sure out of the box, and the cowboy breakfast (chicken fried steak with green chili, eggs, and hash browns $10.99) which they advertise as their special. The best part was the hash browns, crispy on the outside. The chicken was dry, the breading was floury, the chili was no more than a glaze and definitely without much flavor. The prices were ok given the mediocrity of the food. This place overall was fair.

This place is great!! The staff is so friendly and the food is fresh and delicious!! The fries are real!!! I ate my entire meal!!! Thank you for a fabulous meal!!!

Great food and good selection of local alcohol. I was expecting it to be more like an old fashioned diner on the inside, though.

Diner up front and weekday Greek menu in back. French dip and handcut were tasty.Greek menu items I had were incredible. Souvlaki w/rice and stuffed grape leaves.

Stopped in after a conference that saddled us with 30lbs of books which I was carrying as I darkened their doorstep. They gave me a great meal and some great beer recommendations. Big fan.

Ate there Saturday, April 2nd, 2002. Reuben Sandwich and fries were SO GOOD! Owner and his wife were so friendly and informative of the history of Lindys. I highly recommend Lindys and will definitely return!
