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.

Papardelle pasta with sausage, brocolini and burratta was oustanding, aswed my cocktail The service, however, seemeed overwhelmed on a busy, but not that crowded Friday night, which they should have been prepared for, Visits from our waitress were almost non-existant to the point of having to seek her out.

We had reservations on a Sunday. The restaurant was crowded and we waited about 15 minutes past our reservation until a table opened up. We started with the Goat cheese dip a little disappointing the sourdough bread tasted like it was heated in the microwave. The dip was heavy on the Jam and light on the goat cheese so was like dipping in hot jam. In spite of the busy time we were served in a timely manner. The wait service was excellent she checked in at the table frequently. Both Salads were good and other main course was served hot. I would recommend a reservation !

Made a reservation for 6pm. Received call to confirm. Arrived on time and waited 30 minutes to be seated which made us rush since we had tickets for a show. Waitress didnt write down our order and tried to remember it all (why?) and missed my drink. Food was average. Ambience was quite nice. I realize it was a busy Friday night but the whole point of the reservation is to have a table ready or close to ready.

We met my son, who lives in Southie, to celebrate a birthday. The place was decorated for Christmas and we got sit under all the ornaments. It was very pretty. The food and service were very good. I would recommend this restaurant.
