Happily Surprised
This pub has had some bad reviews of late with 6 reviews listed in the past 16 months with rating of 2, 1.5,  1, 5. 1,  and 1 certainly a worry (the 5 looks very much like an insider with 1 review in total). but we were out that way and decided to take a chance last Sunday for lunch (3 Nov).  We were really pleased we did.
The staff were friendly from the start.  We ordered the 'Bruschetta' and 'Treble Dips' for starters and both were excellent.  I was surprised now good the Treble Dips was and even go as staying the Bruschetta was one of the best I have had.   
Mains - I had 'Veal Scallopini' which can be a hit and miss dish but it was nice.  One friend had a special 'Butterfish' and he loved it.  I tried it and I would order it for myself next time.  Another friend had 'Meat Lasagne' which looked really good and he said it he liked it.  Sadly he has no tastebuds and you are lucky if you get the chance to sample his order.  His wife had 'Vegetarian Pizza' which she enjoyed and she gave me some and again would be happy to order it.
Maybe the staff have received a kick up the backside or they are new.  Whatever, the kitchen staff did a top job and the waitress was interactive and happy. The barstaff were good too.

Give it a go,  Based on our experience they have upped their game and well done to them

LOVE THIS PLACE. The warm, inviting decor is a delight in winter, as is the menu. Whether I order the moist sumptuous pork cutlet, steak, or fresh and spicy Thai green curry, the meals are cooked perfectly time and time again. It's pleasant to notice the friendly staff always checking on whether the meals and service are satisfactory. Oh, and the bars are lovely and big, clean and uncluttered. Have been there a at least a dozen times for dinner, and it's fast become an absolute favourite. Feels like a second home hahahah.

Lincolnshire arms is your classic Aussie pub! Good vibes and a great Parma! And in the sports bar it's a measly $10! Incredible value. Would recommend to friends and family.

Portions and prices for the meals here are quite reasonable. The meals themselves are a little lack lustre, but not many pubs serve 5 star meals anyway and we didn't expect anything fancy. The menu caters for vegetarians & GF if needed; as well as having the obligatory kid's menu. It was a such a busy night, with the dining tables and the sports bar tables pretty much full. The staff were run off their feet; but were quite friendly and apologetic about our meals being delayed. We waited approx. 45mins for our food.....lucky the good company we were with kept us occupied with conversation. However, it was a different story for the kids on our table.....they were ready to chew their arms off!

Perfect roast pork lunch on a quiet Saturday. Nice environment for being able to talk with low background music. Comfortable chairs at good height to table. Dined using Entertainment Book. I would recommend.

I have been here a few times. We had the chicken parmigiana tonight. It was fresh and tasty. The serves are quite generous and the drinks are reasonably priced. Ok pub food.

My family and I booked to eat dinner here last night for a birthday, and staff over the phone made life so much easier for us, as there were going to be 20 of us coming, and I didn't want to be squashed like most pubs do. We had all the space we needed, the staff helped carry the drinks over to our table, and the food all came out as we asked, entrees followed by mains. Unfortunately we were too full to have desert because of how nicely portioned the meals were. All 20 of us said that the atmosphere, food, and staff were 10/10 and we will all definitely come back here! I had the salt and pepper calamari and it was to die for! Everybody left with a smile, and a full stomach :)
Highly recommend!!

What a great meal! I came with low expectations and was blown away! Service was so friendly and nothing was a problem. The garlic prawn entree to share was beautiful. We each had a steak and it was actually cooked the way we wanted for the first time in a long time - often when I order medium it turns up well done. But this was truly medium. It was HUGE and I took home almost 200g of steak (after signing a form). We shared an apple and rhubarb crumble which is cooked to order and was simply delicious. Using the entertainment book voucher our dinner was sensational value and I'd happily return without the voucher. Form where we were sitting we could see into the kitchen and they run a tight ship in there - very impressive. Thank you to the kitchen and service staff for a fantastic night! Highly recommended.

LOVED IT!! Will return with Mum & Dad. Having had an ok (just) meal there three years ago, was looking forward to a great night (company wise) with three friends.

Was amazed that the four main meals we had (pork, duck, porterhouse, calamari) was melt in the mouth fantastic! LOVED IT!

Will even take Mum & Dad and THEY are harsh critics.

Thanks for a greatt night!

The wife, kids and I will pop in for dinner once a month. Positives: Good food, generous servings, menu has variety. The lady who serves the ice cream is terrific. Great customer service. Also a reasonably hot chick behind the bar.
Negatives: drinks are pricey. The tall young kid behind the counter doesn't want to be there. Never smiles.

Saturday night out for dinner. Have not eaten at the Linc for a decade or so. Pleasantly surprised at the lay back atmosphere of the lounge bar area and open plan fit out.
Dinner was quite OK for pub food.
Started with entree pork spring rolls. Very generous portions and definitely quality made on premises. Followed up with duck breast in asian greens. Duck was good.
The other main....a flash from the past? Chicken Saint Jacques. Very tender chicken portions in creamy sauce with scallops. Again a very generous serve supported with copious amounts of seasomal vegatables.
Quality wine list for pub. Short but quite good selection. Very reasonable prices.
Caring attentive young waitstaff. A good night out

First time and we'll be back. Let me start by saying that the food was great. I had the pork and the wife had barramundi. We were with a few others and there were no complaints from their meals. It's a pub so meal quality certainly surprised us in a good way. Staff were generally good but rushed off their feet. Only puzzled moment (not complaint) was when I asked where my meal was when the other 6 meals had come out, I got the answer "it's coming out shortly as it was ordered separately" which was correct but it was ordered BEFORE the other meals. I just laughed and just enjoyed the meal.

Good food for a local. I usually get salt and pepper calamari. Parma is not the best here though.

Love the Linc. I'm an Essendon local and a linc regular. Friday nights at the linc are a no brainer. I often head there straight after work with the girls from work, just in time for happy hour. We then end up booking a table and ordering a parma or their roast of the day- awesome. Desserts are to die for too!! Good value and good staff. I recommend this place

Love it. The soups here are fantastic. You can tell they're made properly and with care. The pork cutlets are to die for, and they change the"flavour" regularly. Kids are looked after too with a free icecream and topping dessert. It's always busy so it's best to book a table.

Pleasant surprised by the service and standard of food here. It's a pub so expect pub type food, but the porterhouse steak was perfectly cooked and the quality good. The rest of our meals were also served quickly and everyone enjoyed them. Good variety of menu items so there something to keep even the fussiest of eaters happy. I'll be back.

The Lincolnshire was quite busy and unfortunately abit noisy. I wouldn't recommend it if you wanted a quiet setting to chat. However, considering it was busy, what seemed limited staff, did an amazing job. Were very helpful and friendly and the food was really nice.

The food in the bistro was pretty ordinary. Staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. Venue is clean. We had a drink in the pub which has a really lovely atmosphere. Again very clean and comfortable. I'd definitely go back for a drink. I would eat tgere again for a basic meal when I can't be bothered cooking, but not chose this bistro as a venue to go out for dinner.

Due to the pandemic it had been quite a while since I had been there last. Very relaxing with pleasant ambience. Menue was small but a good variety to choose from. I chose steak and was very pleased with my choice.
