Lincoln Street Diner - Ithaca

Quinn took very good care of us. We were short on time and she efficiently served our breakfast with a kind service. Great food too!

Perfect if you are looking for an old-school diner. Counter and table seating with food hot off the plancha grill. Fried eggs are delicious as is the egg sandwich and the pancakes. Gets very crowded on weekends so go before 10. Fair prices and good conversation. Takes electronic payments but prefers cash if you have it.

Stopped here on a road trip with my family on the way to Seneca Lake. The food was classic diner food, hit the spot, and the price was right! The staff was unbelievably friendly and recommended that we take a walk to Ithaca Falls, which was right down the street. I'm so glad we did. Can't wait to return to Ithaca and definitely going to hit Lincoln again.

Lincoln Street Diner was a great find on vacation. Small, unassuming building but when you walk in, the diner was small with a handful of tables that were all full. After eating my breakfast, I know why the tables were full. The atmosphere was great, the service was great and the food was fantastic. I had the Southwest omelette with pimento-habanero cheese, home fries and toast. Hands down, the best omelette I have ever had.

Great prices. Great food. Great service. Local. Residential street, downtown Ithaca, near Cornell. Highly recommend. Only drawback is there are few tables and during peak times there may be a wait or counter service.
