As a frequent visitor to Whangamata I can always rely on The Lincoln for good cup of coffee, so by reputation they are always one of my preferred stops when I’m in the area. Today the weather was atrocious so me and my sisters found refuge here for lunch. I had the falafel and haloumi salad and found it tasty, especially with the inclusion of sultanas. There were possibly a few too many flavours going on but it gave a good twist on a conventional salad. Probably my only suggestion is to serve it in a bigger bowl (for those who like aesthetics) but apart from that is was a good lunch experience!
Our family of 5 adult dined here whilst on holiday. Overall it was a disappointing experience especially when considering the prices charged, which are way too high for what you get. Service was polite but disinterested. Wait time was far too long, especially as it was relatively empty. Meals were average to below average. No attention paid to detail at all (e.g. no water provided to the table and when my son asked if we could get some, only one glass of water was brought!)The location itself is good and it is such a shame that more isn’t done to deliver a better experience. I certainly wouldn’t dine there again.
A disappointing experience. In our group the ribs and steak were great, but the specialty curry of the chef from Bali was terrible, an insipid sauce with Uncle Ben’s microwave rice or similar. Perhaps the chef had returned home to Bali. The service was what spoiled the night. Starting with the waitresses ‘What’d a yah want?’. And basically ignoring us the rest of the evening, on a not busy night. The explanation was that we had a trainee waitress, but there was not much training or oversight going on.
20mins for a coffee, a further 10-15 for the other 3 drinks for the table. 45 mins+ for an over cooked cold breakfast. Unimpressed.4 meals all out at different items and all substandard. 2 out of the 4 orders were wrong. What a let down. Poached eggs shouldn’t be doubled up as bouncing balls- shouldn’t they be runny and not like rubber? and since when does eggs Benny have salmon with bones???? At least one eggs Benny had smoked? No consistency here. Not recommended
I Just enjoyed and laughed through another great night out at the Lincoln.. the regular Thursday quiz night is my main attraction .. I am always greeted with a cherry smile and quick service.. the food is yummy and generous.. and I like that there are frequently new things on the menu to temp.
A group of us wined and dined at this place a couple of years back and had a fantastic evening so I looked forward to visiting there again when we were back in Whangamata. Boy was I disappointed. We walked in and stood around like idiots for at least 3-4 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. The place wasn’t busy, there was only one other table occupied inside and few couples at the outside tables. I should have known right then to turn and walk out but we persevered and were finally shown a table. We ordered drinks immediately and were handed the menu – crumbled, grimey looking sheets of paper clipped to a clipboard – not very sophisticated. The menu options were very limited and nothing jumped out and excited us (compared to the last time when we were salivating just looking at the options available to us) and when after a further 15 minutes our drink hadn’t even arrived let alone any further acknowledgment from the wait staff, we decided to leave. I went to the bar to cancel our drinks order but after standing there for a couple of minutes with no bar staff or wait staff in sight, we walked out. We won’t be back.
