Lindy's Restaurant — Restaurant in Maryland

Sadly, everything changes these days. I have went to this restaurant since I was 17 years old. I am 70 years old now. We loved going there. But the last few times, and especially last week it was ruined forever. I can never go back. There was a very nice hostess waitress who has been there for 26 years. But the waitress who brought our food was horrible. She was rude and had a very ugly attitude. When the nice waitress stopped by, I asked her how was it that she was so nice and the other girl was so rude. She just smiled kindly. But the other waitress would not come by, give us drink, bring us ketchup, or give us any service. We had to ask a man who was working at a table. And to my surprise, he was as rude and unkind as the girl. We asked him why we couldn't get any service and he flew off the handle. I told him the waitress was very rude and had an ugly attitude and he flipped on us again. I asked to speak to the owner and he yelled that he was the owner. I was just shocked--I was an owner of a business for 27 years and I couldn't believe an owner would treat someone this way. I told him that we had been coming there since I was 17, but it didn't matter. He continued to embarrass us in front of other customers. I questioned him if he really was the owner, and he yelled, "You don't believe me? Why, because I'm young and white?" I was beyond shocked. I wanted to tell him, "No, it is because you are really rude, and that being white or young had nothing to do with it, but at this point-I simply said, "We are not having this conversation." Others, tried to calm him down, but his anger was off the wall as he tore into my brother and my husband. I never even got to ask him what had happened to their food. I was supposed to get a grilled pork chop. It was not grilled, was fatty, and bland, tough and tasteless. The ground steak, my husband got was horrible and the French fries were cold. We had already decided with the quality of the food being so bad and the prices that had gone up considerably since our last visit, that we probably would not come back. But it is hard to quit going to a place that you loved to go to. But after being treated that way, we can never go back. It is a very sad thing and I think the original owners would be very disappointed to see that their restaurant has...

My wife and I just moved to Cumberland from Baltimore. We were driving past, saw Lindy's, and decided on a whim to give it a try. Lindy's was quaint, friendly, and clean. There were parents with kids, workers on their lunch break, and many senior citizens. Everyone was very friendly, staff and customers. The staff was so laid back and kind. Being from Baltimore, we were astounded by the comparatively low menu prices and figured the food would be average. We were so wrong. Our orders were taken and our food came very quickly. It was delicious and everything, without exception, was fresh. I mean like they just picked the tomatoes out back fresh. I cannot recommend Lindy's enough for families, couples, and seniors. Good people and incredible American grill type food made Lindy's a surprisingly wonderful experience. Without a doubt my family will be eating there often! ...

This place is lost in time. Your basic greasy spoon diner that serves really good home cooked meals for super cheap. I had the two pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans for $10.50. Anywhere else would be double that for the same meal. Looks like the decor has not changed since it opened (1970’s?) and the clientele were all seniors. Good place to eat if you are on a fixed income. Service was fine but the tables are fairly packed together making it feel a bit cramped. Ignore reviews that claim they were overcharged. This place should be applauded for not gouging their customers. Worth a try if staying...
