Review content:
I only knew Lindey's from a highway sign, not by its apparently legendary reputation in the Twin Cities. However, I love good steak, and my experience has been that local steak houses beat the chains by a long shot. Lindeys was truly a unique experience. This is the kind of restaurant that locals have been coming to for years, and apparently know what they like. Lindey's gives them exactly that and no more. There may be more nostalgia in the reviews than objective assessment of quality. The atmosphere is definitely ""homey"" but that can be charming in today's overdecorated eateries. I have hardly ever been to a restaurant where there were only three choices of entre. Since the difference between the Prime Sirloin and the Special was only a dollar, everyone goes for the top-priced cut. Sixteen dollars for chopped sirloin is really absurd as a third choice. The sirloin was large (I couldn't finish it) and reasonably well prepared, but I would have preferred a more seared exterior. It was tender, but as others have noted, surprisingly flavorless. The sauce was buttery and more tasty than the meat. I ordered sauteed mushrooms at $4.95, but they appeared to be canned. The salad was truly a joke. A bit of iceberg lettuce and one cherry tomato in what seemed to be a mixture of catsup and mayonnaise. I come from the Southwest. There are better, more flavorful steak cuts than sirloin, and my steak at Lindey's, while perhaps prime beef, tasted as if it never had been aged, so there was no really beefy taste. I had a good martini for $5.00, and a good glass of cabernet. I guess I need to try a few more places. It would be sad if this was truly the best steak house the Twin Cities has to offer. Again, I think this is a place that rests on its local reputation. The manager seemed to be part of the family, and greeted many happy diners by name, and this kind of personal attention rather than the objective quality of the food is what brings people back.
Pros: Pleasant service; good cheap drinks, ample parking; big portions; happy groups of diners
Cons: Extremely limited menu; bland steak
