Neighborhood gem

It all began with a love story and a dream. Linwood, a chef, and Ellen, a reporter, met 36 years ago in a restaurant of course! They married and began to envision that someday they would open a restaurant of their own. The restaurant’s first business plan was written at their dining room table on an electric typewriter. In 1988 Linwoods opened its doors, and it has been a labour of love for more than thirty years.

Linwoods’ cuisine consists of the freshest ingredients, and inventive preparation. Our service is warm and attentive. We have developed a reputation for consistency an attention to detail. These qualities are key to our catering business as well. Our team has worked hard to connect to our community, and we value our customers. These values have been central to Ellen and Linwood’s vision, and we hope are felt by our customers each day.

Great service fast effective waitress was fully engaged. She even made suggestions on the menu and was very knowledgeable to the things that we didn’t know for the menu and her name is Molly and she is excellent. I will be returning.

Great service. Excellent food. I went all in for French onion. French onion soup and French onion burger with fries. Both were outstanding. In fact, the fries were the second best fries I've ever had. The best fries in the world are made by Thrashers in Ocean City, Maryland and Rehoboth, Delaware. But the fries at Linwoods are a close second.

Delicious meal but my daughter’s birthday and the reason we went to dinner at Linwoods tonight was ignored. - so very disappointing. Added to the reservation and reminded the hostess upon arrival who assured me this would be recognized. Upon exit when I said something, she said she was “super sorry the server (Serge) must have forgotten”. Well……..that doesn’t change our experience. Really, really disappointing from a place that consistently shows attention to detail.

We have been eating at Linwoods for many years. We have always loved the food and atmosphere there. The service is always great, The waiters always treat you special. We haven't been to Linwoods in awhile, simply because we live a good distance from the restaurant. We were not disappointed and can't wait to go back.
