At Lincoln Inn, we strive every day and every event to provide our customers with exceptional hospitality. We wanted to share a review from a customer that has continuously received the utmost care and attention to detail from our staff. Each and every one of our employees comes to work humbly to serve you whether it be in the Lincoln Inn dining room or an event at Faranda's.

"Farandas/Lincoln Inn is one of our favorite restaurants. Breakfast offerings are extensive with some standouts such as: large delicious muffins, cheddar toast, great skillets, and the best fruit cup near or far! Lunch offerings include a variety of sandwiches, salads, and homemade soups. Faranda's fish fries are delicious with several choices and a salad, soup, and dessert buffet—no one will leave hungry! There’s also a soft serve ice cream machine on the dessert bar. As a banquet venue, for weddings, funerals, birthday, or organization functions, there is none better!"

We're happy to share this week's memory Monday featuring the Hickey family.
Kevin, Donna, and their son Nolan are listed in the St. Mary's directory.
Their favorite memory of Lincoln Inn is back at the original location there were tables with people from different churches. If there were empty seats others were welcome to join.
Their favorite memory of St. Mary's was watching Lincoln Inn owners Bill and Joy attend mass with their children.
Their favorite meal is the 2 piece French Toast or Denver Omelet.
Thank you Hickey family for allowing us to help you create wonderful memories!

Happy Memory Monday! Today were are sharing about Roger Steimel. He is listed in the St. Mary's 1995 directory.
Roger's favorite Lincoln Inn memory was enjoying brunch at our original downtown location with church friends after church.
Roger's earliest memory of St. Mary's was attending the school in 1944 when he was in first grade. He remembers sitting on the right side of the church with all of his relatives.
Roger's signature Lincoln Inn order is the All American, eggs over hard, fruit cup, and coffee.
Thank you Roger for spending so many years enjoying Lincoln Inn!

We had the pleasure of talking with Marisa and Tony Kafka.
Their favorite memory of Lincoln Inn is the first meal after the covid shutdown when we made a patio under the underpass of Faranda's.
Their favorite memory of their time at the United Methodist Church was having all of their children baptized at the church on 4th and Oak Street.
Their favorite meal at Lincoln Inn is the Western Omelette.
