Lincoln's Waffle Shop

Great food, efficient service, and highly chaotic and welcoming. This is a place you get in and out. Place was packed! If you’re looking for an affordable, quick, delicious meal, this is a humbling place with character and charm to get your morning coffee and classic American breakfast staples.

Very nice suprise and change of pace from most downtown places. Dont be detoured by the hustle and bustle. The food is really great, especially for the price. The price is a little higher than what is listed on Google but still reasonable. The service was very friendly and on top of things despite the mid-morning rush. They do have about half the restaurant as bar seating, so maybe not the best for a big group or if you are looking for a quiet private atmosphere.

It's clear why this place is a local favorite – the welcoming atmosphere and consistently delicious food speak for themselves! We were impressed with how quickly the amazing staff accommodated the crowd and got us to our table. Our breakfast was outstanding: a hearty western omelet with wonderfully seasoned home fries, the classic combination of chicken wings and those amazing thin and crispy waffles, and a solid waffle, egg, and bacon. The waffles truly stood out – the ideal balance of crispiness and softness. Even the coffee was a great start to the meal. This isn't a fancy place, but it's a testament to how great food and genuine customer service can create a beloved neighborhood spot. Highly recommended!

This was a little gem across the street from Ford's Theater. Don't expect anything fancy or high-end. I would set ego aside and enjoy. It's delicious, fast, and has great service. I got the scrambled eggs with sausage, home fries, and a waffle. My wife got a BLT. Our waiter was very down-to-earth but confident in his food. The cooks were working away, and we got served in just a few minutes. The food was great. The waffle was simple, similar to a Waffle House, but it was tasty. My wife loved the bacon on her BLT. The fast service was nice because we had timed entry for the Ford's Theater across the street. We had plenty of time to spare. If you're in the area and are looking for a reasonable price, short wait times, and great food, we'd highly recommend this place.

Do you want a simple and efficient breakfast menu that serves you quickly with home style food and nothing crazy fancy or with a name you can't pronounce? Do you not care about decor or vibe? Then come here! Their food and simplicity is exactly what we needed on a morning out rushing to begin our trip to a museum. Seriously...no frills inside or out... the picture I shared provides a good idea of what you'll find on their menu... things you probably recognize and are easy to whip up. So let the staff at Lincolns take care of you. They are kind, INCREDIBLY fast, and will have you barely finishing your sentence because they likely already know what you want. Don't be offended if they walk away mid sentence... they got you covered Come here and don't let any other reviewers sway you... the menu offerings are ample and likely exactly what you need to get your day started... only you don't have to make it yourself and without a long wait!

Local gem that's very easy to miss of youre not looking for it. This place was such a delight to visit. I've been to DC multiple times, and some of the most popular restaurants can be inconsistent. You can tell LWS is no that. The food was made to perfection. Waffle was light and crispy, great flavor, the sausage tasted homemade, and the rest of my food was just like I liked it. I also loved the staff. My waiter, in particular, was so friendly and welcoming. I am adding this place to my top 5 breakfast list and plan to return soon.

This place is the best place to grab a quick, no frills breakfast. Wonderful dinner setting. Feels just like home! All the staff treat you like you've been going there for years. Was here for a week, and couldn't be bothered to go anywhere else! If you get a chance, and are looking for a great waffle, perfect eggs, and the bacon? *Chef's Kiss*
