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.

"When I called to confirm my reservation at Lincoln, I spoke to Lindsay. She was straight to the point, seemed like I was bother her to double check my reservation. When I called a second time to tell her we are going to be a few minutes late, she was again, not very friendly. When we arrived at the restaurant there was a small line outside. I told the guy at the door who was checking ID's that we had a reservation. He told us we don't take reservations here with a nasty tone. I have been to Lincoln several times, and always had a good experience but this past experience was lacking Hospitality from the host stand and from the man checking IDs. I will return again, just hope the staff is a little more hospitable"

"Second time at the Lincoln Tavern. The first time I had the Tuna entree and the second time I had the salmon. DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably the best two meals I have had outside of my home. Don't get rid of the Chef."
