Best in Keene...suggest chicken fried steak...and coffee is good. Service good. Only negative...not enough options for groups of 5 or more.

Our go to breakfast place. Quick friendly service, great food and coffee. Expect a wait most days. They have really nice outdoor seating in the summer as well.

I don't know why this place is only 3.5 star average and I'm hoping to push it up a bit. Stayed in Keene for the night and ended up at Lindy's for breakfast on a Saturday morning. This place is awesome! First off, place is legit New England diner...metal shell, long counter, only a few tables, nostalgia all over the walls. Secondly, there were about 6 waitresses ready to go at 730 am for the upcoming onslaught of diners. There was plenty of open space when we arrived and we sat immediately. I bet they get busy and I really couldn't believe how much staff they had for such a small restaurant but that goes to show they care about their customers. Ordered a western omelette, added some guacamole (don't ask, was feeling like guac) and grilled bagel, my son made himself a bagel sandwich with some bacon. He told me it was the best bacon he'd had. Ever. And those homefries...perfect. Crispy outside, puffy inside, not greasy. Food was great. People were awesome. Next time I'm in Keene I'll be eating here. 5 stars all the way. Well done Lindy's!!!

I had the best lobster croissant at this adorable and historic diner in downtown Keene! The diner is a Paramount constructed diney made in New Jersey in 1961 and moved to Keene. Three couples have owned the diner since 1961. We tried on a whim. From the outside, the diner has shiny steel sides, like you'd expect. The sign is vintage above the diner. Inside are booths and counter seating. The place was packed when we arrived, but the hostess found a booth for two quickly. The menu offers breakfast or lunch options. There is a daily menu with specials, as well. I selected a lobster croissant with fries off the special menu. Food came out fairly quickly. Our server was friendly and attentive. Water glasses were kept full. My lobster croissant sandwich was packed with big chunks of lobster claw meat. Other than a slice of lettuce, there were no seasoning, so the lobster was the star. The sandwich was excellent! The croissant was fresh and soft. The shoestring fries were crispy and hot. The lunch was excellent and at $18, a bargain. My cousin had a Monte Cristo which is a ham and cheese on French toast. The thin sliced ham was packed thick on the sandwich. She said her sandwich was delicious. There is a covered patio outside, but it wasn't opened during our visit. There is free parking on the side and in front of the diner. There is a step up into the diner, so I'm not sure that there is wheelchair accessibility. Lindy's is adorable, historic and has great food. Well worth a visit.

Amazing service and amazing food. Metered parking about $1.50 for one hour. Homemade breads. Indoor and outdoor seating. Takes credit cards.

I don't know about you, but if I go to a diner I am going there for the diner experience. I'm not expecting gourmet dining, elegant surroundings, or finely dressed servers. I'm expecting good food, cleanliness and comfortable seating, and efficient service: And that's exactly what you'll find a Lindy's Diner. The eating highlight for us when we popped in for breakfast was my partner's omelette. What made it stand out was the thinness of the outer egg. It was more like a crepe, than a pancake (if you know what I mean). That's the way we like an omelette, and how we make them at home. I had the half portion of the "Souther Benny" -- sausage gravy and a biscuit instead of English muffin & hollandaise. Either they mistakenly gave me the full portion, or the full portion is gigantic. Interestingly, the home fries look super boring. Little square potatoes that look like they have doing on them but paprika. Don't be deceived. Try them. They are deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was good but if I and known how they prepare their omelettes I would have gone that route. One final note: Out sever was awesome. I wish we wrote down her name so I could use it here. She was super busy, rushing around in a whirlwind, but had had a broad smile every time she stopped by our table and was super helpful and friendly the whole visit. A very solid classic diner choice for breakfast in Keene if you ask me.

Best coffee I have ever had!! Good food, homemade bread and cool history. I'd visit again!

We enjoyed our meal at the diner. We had simple eggs are easy with bacon. Wait staff were great as well
