The Lincoln is a pub which has been open for a few years. I have not been a regular at RMIT Carlton until now when RMIT is renovating the city campus for a better place. Hence I have never heard of it until a friend brought me there for their good food.
I read online that it was a gastropub with a bit of history to it and that is true. My friend saw the menu and didn't bother looking at the $20 specials outside. Therefore he thought that the paper menu was a bit weird. I had a quick glance on them on my way in.
I didn't want anything on the paper menu except for their "Thrice cooked chips" ($9) which reminded me of country fare. And country fare it was indeed with great Australian potatoes. It was baked not fried.
The service was slow but friendly. We did have to wait a while for the food and it was justified.
The aioli was just perfect. It wasn't too salty and it didn't have too much mayonnaise in there.
The other dish which was my friend's sausages and mash ($20), looked small but was hearty. However the sausage was hard to cut. It was good but I just thought that they should have cooked the sausages a little bit better and brought out the mustard at the start of the meal and not at the end. The mustard was really sweet and a little bit spicy. But the potato mash was just right . It was creamy and not salty or dry to which some of them can be.
Rating:13/20- come here for the good times and country food. Oh and they also do coffee now.
