Tripadvisor reviewers describe Lindenwood Diner as consistently packed on weekends; one visitor arriving Saturday at 11:30am was quoted a wait of around 30 minutes and was seated after about 20. Another diner reported waiting 45 minutes to sit down on a Saturday but said it was "worth the wait."
One reviewer summed up the scene as "the place was packed" during a Saturday brunch visit, and the owner has said the restaurant is "very busy," consistent with multiple accounts of steady weekend crowds despite the diner having its own large parking lot.
