If you appreciate history, you will like Lindey's Steak House!

Lindey's was everything I expected it to be. I do not understand the people on this board that say it needs to be remodeled. That would totally take away from it's charm. If you want fancy go to Ruth Chris,...

Greater living through lowered expectations.

You could read all the reviews of Lindey's. Or you could man up and go see for your self. Yes the decor has not changed since 1961. Why remodel when the craptacular REAL not RETRO decor still works so well?...

don't bother

Don't bother with this place. They have just 2 items on the menu, sirloin steak, or shrimp. No reservations. They moved into this remote location in 1961 and haven't spent a dollar on the place since then....

5.0 of 5 stars. If you're looking for a steak this is THE place. They serve nothing but lots of red meat. We've been coming to this place since 1968 and the only thing that has changed is the price. Yeah, it's gone...

Yelp.com Review - by Norton L.

5.0 of 5 stars. Let's be clear. Lindey's is a STEAKhouse. You don't go there for chicken or seafood or a salad. As their menu indicates, you can have steak, steak, or steak. If you're not a carnivore with the...

Sirloin is the only thing on the Menu. I will take a T-Bone, New York Strip, Ribeye, or Prime Rib anyday over the lower cut Sirloin Steak. Timberlodge beats Lindeys hand down. Overpriced for Sirloin
