Visiting Ithaca from Southern Ohio and found Lincoln Street based on Google reviews. I must say I was very pleased. My breakfast was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly. If I lived in this town I would be here every morning.

Perfect if you are looking for an oldschool 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.
