    First time to Lynn’s Table and it was exactly what we were looking for. We had brunch, food was delicious and hot. The price was perfect for what was ordered. The service was slowish but the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back!

    We went for Mothers Day Sunday Brunch. They did a buffet, and absolutely everything was delicious. The prime rib and bread pudding was mouth watering. Everyone was friendly, and everything was clean. I would highly recommend to check it out. I will definitely be back to try their regular menu.

    Food was great. Portions an flavors good. Service started out well and then was non-existent. Once our food was delivered, we never saw another server. No one checked on us and we had to beg for our check and then hunt down someone to pay. Several servers were visibly standing around by the counter, but we were not acknowledged after receiving food. No drink refills. Lights could be more subtle- more charming. Very bright, harsh, fluorescent.

    Food was not served hot & not properly prepared as requested. Two entrees were not served together and the one that came later was served cold. Ordered pancakes and they were tough. Eggs were ordered as soft scrambled and both plates came out as overcooked. Over priced for the quality and taste of the food. Was served two small packets of Kraft syrup and was instructed that any additional syrup would be an additional cost.

    Overpriced for sandwiches that were ok at best. Waiter was attentive untill the 2 other tables came along. Then it took a while to get his attention. I would not say not to go, but I could not tell my friends to go there over other places..

    I was looking for a good breakfast restaurant that was not a chain, and I found it! The moment I entered I was greeted kindly by the server Janice, she was extremely personal. It wasn’t busy and lead me to the best table in the house! LOL. I felt very comfortable, and was able to chit chat which she indulged me. As I order a nice young man walked in and introduced himself (looked as if he was working on home improvements so to speak). I believe his name was Mike AKA the cook/ Chef. He kindly greeted me good morning and said he’s be cooking my breakfast. Moving right along, my fresh fruit was just that, couldn’t of selected tastier well presents fruit myself. Sooo good. That was served first and timed to perfection to follow my hearty well cooked breakfast, 2 scrambled, sausage, hash browns and thick cut whole wheat toast. Fresh hot and delicious! It was a lovely dining experience from the time I walked In the door until I headed on out. Hospitality and good food! I’ll be back whatever

    We spent the day in Old Town Spring and made last minute reservations for two groups of 6 at Lynn's for lunch on a Thursday. Our tour ended an hour early which we explained to the hostess who offered to immediately seat both groups. The menu was extensive, with something for everyone. The server was friendly and attentive, the food was served quickly and was very good. The desert menu was great. Highly recommend.

    My mom loved the quiche loraine, the fruit in the fruit salad was not very ripe. The watermelon and honeydew were almost white. I ordered the frikadeller with spatzle. The meat and gravy were okay but the meat was way overcooked . The spatzle was hard and crunchy like uncooked pasta. The red cabbage was too sweet. I wouldn’t order this dish again. But we did order my mom a quiche to go. So this is definitely a place to go get your quiche fix

    our waitress rarely came back to check on us. one of us waited for a tea refill and never got one, then an employee came on shift and said he was having to make fresh. he was apologetic and brought water in the meantime which was very kind, but our waitress had plenty of time to check on our table before all the tea ran out. and why would you let your tea run out anyway????

    We were the 2nd party in and our food took forever to be served. When it finally arrived, it was wasn’t complete and it was cold. Also, I suspect that a family that a family that arrived after we did was served before us. We were a party of 4 while they were a party of 6. The cups, plates, and what not have seen better days.
