    I’ve been here about 8 times in the last 6 months. When the food arrives I forget about anything else so I have no photos of the meals I’ve ordered. The curried shrimp, grilled Cajun catfish with veggies are favorites of mine. Their cocktails are pretty and so tasty. I have never been able to have dessert there because I’m so full. The complimentary bread basket is delicious with warm, assorted bread rolls and fresh corn bread. It’s a Brooklyn icon. Super family friendly.

    Brooklyn diner that’s been around since the mid-60s. A true classic. Good service, excellent food. Parking lot is tight, but spots are usually available. Coffee is delicious. Clean bathrooms. Nice people.

    I’m pretty shocked. For this place’s location, this did a great job with the dining experience. To dine inside all parties must show proof of vaccination or your welcome to dine outdoors. The decor is modern with a Graffi designed mural in the back. It smells fresh and the even has a cute, futuristic looking restroom. I must say the prices are reasonable also. The waiters are helpful, pleasant and attentive. The food came out quickly, was flavorful, fresh and was well-done. When passing the Linden Blvd Area of Brooklyn, GO HERE!

    Celebrated my birthday with friends at Lindenwood this past weekend. The pictures are Land & Sea paella, Jolly Rancher martini, & Mango Coconut margarita. Don’t remember the names of other drinks in 4th picture. I’ve been to this diner many many times. Should have written reviews and uploaded pictures then. I can say that the Maryland crab cakes, their sliders, shrimp macaroni & cheese are very good. The various burgers, their ribs, crab legs, etc. The food here is tasty and good. The drinks are great. I don’t always have an alcoholic drink when I’ve been at Lindenwood, so my reviews are not swayed by being tipsy. 😂 Never experienced bad service. Managers, hosts, waiters and all who work there are friendly and provide great service. Love this spot!

    Service was good. Food came out nice and hot. This place had been on my bucket list for years because several had good things to say about the food. Took my friend here to celebrate his birthday. The 5 of us all enjoyed our meals.

    Looking for a diner that is an absolutely solid meal and anything on the menu being fresh and tasty, well this is certainly that kind of place. I happen to come for the same meal (Tres Golpe) made to order eggs, mangu with red onions, beef salami, queso frito and toast. Can’t tell you how simple yet perfect this meal is for me. Ample parkin as they have a lot, servers are very attentive as well making sure to pass by often .

    Wanted some crab legs and as usual Lindenwood did not disappoint. I requested my favorite server Tim (so professional and prompt) and was very happy.

    Place is clean for is good. I had breakfast with my family dine in Saturday morning around 10am. Place was jumping. We were 8 waiting time for us was 30 or so minutes. That didn’t work especially when you have kids with you . Good food on the menu$$.

    The food was good on my end. I love the tostones. They were fired just right. My 6 yr old didn't like the mac and cheese. I ordered a Red Sangria, and it could have been stronger. They put way too much ice. The service and atmosphere were pleasant.

    We were looking for a "diner" on the way to JFK and this diner is 15 minutes away via car. 1st time and not our last. Service was really great! The food selection is diner foos but they also have a selection of spanish dishes as well, which sounded yummy. I got a burger and swapped fries for tostones and it came with a garlic dip, yum! The burger also came with 2 onion rings. The homefries was really really good. Overall every dish was very yummy. And a really cute, diner. Definitely try if in the area or on your way to the airport!

    I've been dining here for over 30 years, sometime the food changes but always good food. I moved to Saint Albans but still go back for the crab legs, no one beats their Cajun sauce (crab legs)

    Tasty food. Attentive staff, this place is by no means cheap for a group event, so bring $$$. Crab cakes, nachos and french toast were good . The give decent sized appetizers which is a plus. I would recommend, will visit again.

    Was taken here for a dinner. Service was very good. I order the snow crab leg dinner, sides were corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. It was a bit pricey but well worth it. I really enjoyed my meal.

    I had a lovely dinner tonight. Food was on point.... for the first time I tried the salmon burger with sweet potato fries and spicy mayo on the side. It is to die for! The fries was a little oily for my taste. However, it was delicious and the waiter was outstanding! Great atmosphere. I give it two thumbs up!

  • 5/5 Erica B. 7 months ago on Google
    Went with a large group of 33, but they were able to accommodate us by seating us 15 at a time. Kinda wish they had reservations as an option, but they do not. Food is always good. And the atmosphere is more of a restaurant style than a diner. But you can get your typical diner food and it's top notch.

    My husband and I have eaten here for many years. The food is always perfectly cooked no matter what we order! I ordered a strawberry cheesecake for a birthday dinner! It was fabulous! Much better than “Juniors”. It was the best cheesecake I have ever eaten, for real! They bake every single day so you are guaranteed to get the freshest cake out there! Everyone absolutely loved it! We ran out! A must order!

    This place never disappoints. This is the best diner in my neighborhood. I've been coming here since I was 9 years old. They have great food, good portions and great service always good. I really like their burgers and pasta. And they have a great blend of carribbean food options. The portions are really good. They also have quick takeout.

    This our spot when we come home to NYC. You have to come here to eat on this side of town. The food is great!! The service is good also. This place is nice. The setup is cool. You won't be disappointed. The seafood is definitely on point.

  • 5/5 Betsy G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's like a Spanish Brooklyn 🤷 it wasn't what I expected but the food was delicious. Looking at the place you would think a big breakfast menu, nope it's small back of the menu but The portions was nice, lite seasoning, nice flavor. I will go again.

    I always go as a guest of Mr Al P. of Canarsie. He is a long time loyal customer. The staff is always super attentive, pleasant and diligent. The management really cares about the customers! I see that and how they treat my friend. There are times when he was sick and shut in and they dropped off food to him personally And most recently for his 76th birthday catered to his party of over 20 people making us feel special while still running the rest of the restaurant. I enjoyed the Captains Feast (pictured below) the servings are generous and delicious. They truly are a class act in the restaurant business. Brooklyn is beyond blessed to have them, even if if they’re a stones throw away from the Queens border.

    When it comes to a Diner I am skeptical. Well I must say I am very impressed with what I ordered and so was my fiance. I had a salmon burger on a croissant with sweet potato fries. It was amazing. I never am able to eat a whole meal in one setting. My fiance had the Texas burger. He was raving from the first bite. We already set a date night to go back and try something else. The next place I try a salmon burger some where else I will be comparing, lol.

    You can't really go wrong at this diner. I've been there for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner with family and friends. Really enjoy all the food, wraps, salads, specials, appetizers, etc. We went for brunch this weekend, had chicken and waffles, as well as an omlette (feta) and everything was so good. Love the waffles fries! And they are quite efficient with managing the tables, so the wait isn't usually long even when they're packed.

    Great food and friendly staff! It's slightly above average price, but taste and portions more than make up for it. Would strongly recommend their strawberry cheesecake. It is absolutely to die for!!!
