Restaurants near Nancy Hanks Lincoln State Memorial

We’ve gone here a few times when in the area and it has been great both times. Our server was amazing with my little girls! The only downside was due to the Christmas tree lighting they didn’t let us park in their lot and we had to stand in a long line in the cold to shuttle over from French lick even though we had a dinner reservation. That was a major bummer.

It was a fantastic experience all around. Good food, good staff, and beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately, it’s attached to a casino that smells like an ashtray but once inside the restaurant, you don’t seem to smell it anymore.

Sitting in the bar room was much better as far as noise level. The spicy shrimp and grits was terrific. The apricot salmon was cooked well but the potato mash was very salty. Too salty to my liking and almost inedible. The bacon jam could use some texture. The bread that came along with the bacon jam was great.

Breathtaking view and the lighting in the entire lobby and dome absolutely perfect. Food was great and wine delicious.

The food was EXECELLENT, but the service was lacking. The person seating us was confused and probably new and untrained. The waitress was away for long periods of time that extended our stay. The food quality would bring us back.
