The Ritz - JD Wetherspoon in Lincoln

Service was superb because food came so fast and the atmosphere was very nice and just at the heart of town. I gave them a 4 star because the last at the tilt messed the service up. She needs to be trained properly, mostly in ability to work under pressure. There was no crowd yet she couldn't get people's orders right. She just kept redoing it continuously. The food was amazing. I had American breakfast while my friend had English breakfast

Great friendly high street pub in Lincoln. Cheap and cheerful. Always a great atmosphere.

Great breakfast, great cocktails.

Food is ok. Tables are cleaned not very often. Cutlery sometimes is dirty. Also you can get just random cutlery but not what you really need for certain food. Don't be surprised if you have to eat Ice cream using a fork. Today I got cutlery with previous food leftovers. Bartender doesn't listen very carefully when customer order the food. Therefore don't be surprised when you get something else but not what you actually wanted

Nice place to eat. Food comes out fast no matter what time of day.

Absolute joke of a meal. Came into wetherspoons for a quick bite to eat where there was one member of staff on the bar actually serving on a SUNDAY. After waiting for a while we decided to order via the app, our table number read 60, after waiting half an hour and still not recieving anything, my partner went up to the bar and asked where our food and drinks were. The waitress then told him our food had been ready for a while and that our table number must’ve been rubbed out because we were actually sat on table 69. When our food finally arrived it was stone cold, I had the fish and chips which was served with tartar sauce 7 MONTHS past its best before date. If we wasn’t so hungry and already absolutely sick to death with this place we would’ve asked for a fresh plate but we just wanted to get out. Absolute joke of a meal I get it’s a wetherspoons but this was actually disgusting. 5 star hygiene review serving tartar sauce 7 months past its best before date?? SHOCKING

Was really nice place to eat a meal and relax ,found it really enjoyable

Good value for money Yes you get what you pay for. in life But at a wetherspoons that doesn't meant rubbish beer is well keep food is what it ssy on the menu so half a Tomato is half etc so if you out shopping and need a meal and pint drop in. There a lot better value than some of the fast food place's.

The service was not very good, not getting our order right from the start and then my daughter being called a liar in so many words is not right. The bar staff were very rude as well serving many people after my partner arrived at the bar before said people. Needs sorting

Me and my friend went to the ritz this evening for a soft drink and a bowl of chips. Food and drinks were lovely. Service, especially by Liam was top notch. Will return :)

Lovely ales, great selection of food, all at very reasonable prices.

My go to pub ,great prices ,decent food , can't go wrong with spoons ☺️

Went there at night food was very good and cheap excellent beers went back the next morning had breakfast great value as usual love spoons

Lovely pub with lovely and helpful staff, would come again <3

Very lovely pub, was served by Ethan and James who made my experience very splendid! I Recommend and I will be returning

Ordered 2 drinks on the app, took over 1/4 hour to be told the ale wasn't available, asked for a refund, told refund takes 8-10 days, suspect Tim is putting profit before customer care.

Been coming too this pub for about twenty years everything change but I love the people I love the staff they always be there for you when you need something

I have been coming here for more than a year and lately I can tell the GOOD big difference of the service, specially today I had some drinks and some food, always nice and warm but I needed to write this to thank Hayley, your service it’s amazing and the energy you share it’s very nice ☺️ thank you very much for being very nice and polite and help with everything. Thanks 😉

Good drink and food selection great prices, lovely staff, overall great experience

It’s as Ritzs as a Wetherspoons can be, as for a pub, food is spot on, drinks yummy and staff are super friendly. Beer garden is 10/10 love smoking ciggys under fairy lights

Great pub, great prices and amazing staff what more can you ask for?

After visiting in the summer and popping in for a few drinks we decided to go back here for a big family catch up as it's cheap and cheerful and suits everyone's different tastes. They've had a lovely makeover done since our last visit. We liked it before, but it's even better now. Although there was quite a few of us there, during a busy afternoon/eve the staff and management did a great job getting our food and drinks to us over the few hours we spent there. Food enjoyed by all and a very good range of drinks. We all had a great time at The Ritz 🙂

Good atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely meeting place for catching up with family on a day out. Food is good as usual. Staff are helpful & friendly. Will be back again soon 🙂

Went for food and drinks both great quality. Service was great and staff are all friendly as well as environment. Would recommend to friends and family.

cheap food and drinks, great staff and overall service, and close to the amenities on high street!

The food very tasty and staff very friendly

Great place for pres as it’s very cheap, great atmosphere

Fairly priced and friendly staff. What you expect from a Spoons.

love ritz so so iconic literally go there multiple times a week because i cannot get enough of it

Not bad as far as wetherspoons goes

Had run out of steak about 7pm, and for the fruit salad they had run out of 3 out of 4 fruits

Terrible, yes it was 1040 in the evening but a very quiet venue, Only 2 hot elements on my plate and both came cold and not as ordered, ordered being the way. it should be served. Grilled Chicken Sloppy and cold and rice tepid at best. To hear then after once report had gone through from floor staff , a load of shouting z and unhappiness. Didn’t make me feel welcome from that point, Ok, So i hear it could have been replaced, given the afore mentioned environment why would Igave bothered?

Recieved my order quick, kind servers and a nice atmosphere full of locals

We visited on a Saturday at 4.30pm, there were a few tables available and the atmosphere was pleasant. Although it was fairly busy the drinks and food arrived within 15 minutes. I had the vegan Katsu curry but it's not clear on the menu that it doesn't come with poppadums or naan. There's also no vegan dessert options.

Despite alleged recent refurbishment, very little has actually changed, a relocation of the coffee machine and opening up an old fire exit. Same tired old shabby venue with exact same dirty stained carpets, same rickety tables and chairs, same delapedated leaky smelly toilets. Many of the staff are clearly not happy to be there and appear to have little or no training in even the most basics. Some slam your food and drinks down without speaking or making eye contact, then scurry back to the bar area empty handed passing empty tables littered with the plates, glasses, bottles and general detritus from the last occupants. It's almost if they have been instructed not to clear and wipe down tables. Two tips I would give anyone visiting. Unless the place is very quiet, order your food and drinks via the app because you will loose the will to live waiting at the bar to do it. Also unless it is very quite, stick to the pizza because the kitchen staff can't do busy, not even mildly busy, they will mess up and send out terrible car crash food when put under the slightest of pressure. One anomaly on the menu is that the price on all of the options is relatively good value except the chips. A bowl cost a packet for what's only a handful of oven chips. Unfortunately in common with many wetherspoons, it seems to attract people who drink more than they can handle and they become very loud and extremely annoying to the point it's hard to hold a conversation with someone your with in there. With the tables and chairs being so close together, many of the customers who do over indulge bang into them all as they continually walk/stagger past going to the bar or toilet every five minutes. The real shame is that it wouldn't take much to massively improve the place. A proper refurbishment to freshen it up and train the staff to a much better standard, especially the manager's who really ought to be on top of things, ensuring tables are cleared, wiped clean and then chairs put back in place, menus set at each table, all the rubbish and food on the floor under and around tables cleared away etc. Also checking the cutlery is properly cleaned before wrapping it in a napkin and sending it out is a simple task but clearly never done. Come on Ritz wetherspoons Lincoln, get a grip.

Upgraded to five stars for this Wetherspoons, not often I give 5 to a Spoons but deserved in this case. Good range of cheap, well kept ales, clean tables and nice toilets, well worth seeking out if you're in Lincoln.

Have the balls to put my review in front of Tim !!!!!?? You closed the Ritz for what???? Toilets still absolutely poo!!!! Nothing in LDA notable!!! Piss up and brewery spring to mind!

Very friendly.good prices.clean.

Temporarily closed until 12 September 2024 for refurbishment.

It was closed for refurbishment

Went here because the sailboat wasn't doing breakfast it's OK

Had a great dinner staff great , always helpful Last day before refurbishment looking forward to seeing it in a couple of weeks

Standard Wetherspoons, decent breakfast, can't complain

Had the ultimate burger and chips, it was tasty and hot very nice relish on the burger too, quick service, friendly staff some of the people in there could do with a wash, especially in the oral department

Cheap'ish n cheerful food, easy to use app, friendly staff but a couple of 10am drunks annoying customers.

Medium score for atmosphere is only because we were there at 0830 for breakfast and barely anyone else was!

It's a good clean spoons. Normal spoons service and a relatively easy to use app.

Love Wetherspoons for saving and restoring iconic buildings and also their great value beers and eats.

Enjoyed the experience. Staff was very helpful. Will be visiting again.

Staff were lovely & helpful. Food was delicious and delivered promptly. All in all a wonderful visit.

Great value for what it is. A cheap place for food and drink.

Good Breakfast, nice weather spoons although alot of tables were mucky with plates of food left on them.

Nice building, clean and tidy. We had chicken curry. It's the first Wetherspoon pub we've been in where we were unable to get the meal we wanted. Not the best Wetherspoon curry we've ever had.

Had a pint with my brother before the England game. Took a while to get served.

Food was good, not brilliant but it was on saturday night when it was quite busy with people drinking, but food came out very quickly

In all honesty, cheap drinks are the big appeal for going into this high street pub. Spaced slightly downhill, it boasts character and classic spoons feel with familiar lower-than-most prices. With betting machines, aged decor to fit the theme and functioning facilities it is a adequate venue for many occasions involving a quick drink or occasional rest stop. But frozen products served as food and being called mate by your server is what you can expect, along with having the locals for your company who also enjoy the drinks and lower than average prices.

Again another Great Wetherspoons but not good for Wheelchairs

Just your average spoons. Cheap beer and passable food.

Great place to meet and chat with friends and colleagues. Good place to start for a night on the town.

The Ritz in Lincoln is very nice

Foods ok, busy pub good value drinks.

Nice enough spoons. Quite big. Very art deco inside. Only in for breakfast, coffee cups slow to arrive after ordering on the app. Otherwise all ok food and coffee as expected from spoons

Decent experience. Had the spicy naga burger although it wasn't particularly spicy, I think they may have forgotten the sauce. Even so it was a nice meal and came with a pint for £11 so not bad really. Also in a good location right next to the centre and about 10 min walk from the cathedral.

Went to the Ritz weatherspoons in Lincoln and good service and the staff are very friendly and polite good food and very happy with the service i received 🙂👍

Popped in for breakfast Sunday bit quiet but food as always good and unlimited hot drinks what’s not to like 👍👍

This is the worst wetherspoons I've been in! Twice I've used the app and had to go and collect my drinks as it has taken so long. Asked for a lager top and got a shandy! Had to tell the server how to do a top and got charged 45p for the pleasure. And it's only a Monday night, not even busy. 🤔

Just a wetherspoons, cheap and cheerful

After a difficult few days, this was such a treat, and I think that I'd go back

Terrible customer service, rude and unhappy staff

Decent quality food for a sensible price

Could really do with a refurb - lick of paint! However does the job for cheap and cheerful place to start your night

Beautiful food , nice and clean pub

It's ok for a wetherspoons, usually go in for a breakfast when I visit Lincoln, I always enjoy it and the coffee is nice. Place could be a bit cleaner, but that's the only negative.

Alway great value. Food good and staff superb.

I don’t know if this will do anything but, me and my family when we come here before a Lincoln game. We normally see tables that are not cleaned and with glasses and plates still on. At other Wetherspoons, that we have been to. Staff always clean tables as soon as customers leave.

Only went for a drink with friends. Stayed for one and left.

Typical Wetherspoons, cheap beer, sticky carpets, it is what it is.

Aircon was blasting cold air right at us no matter where we sat. Proper put me off

Nice pub but took ages to get served

Unfortunately food was late and cold on arrival

Hummm Fish and chips, well at least in name... Tasted ok but portion size was very small.

Lovely food clean and tidy pub friendly service

Unfortunately, this visit was not the best, a mix up with my order was not helped by an indifferent food server and the programming on the till confused even the helpful staff.

No fault of the serving staff but the new menu is miserly and frankly mockery. Just had the £9.90 sirloin steak and even basic veg is extra now. Not worth the price and the meat was also cooked incorrectly, tough and gristly making the overall experience feel like a waste of money.

Great experience. Great Guinness and the Sirloin Steak was great also 👍🏼

Seemed like one of the nicer spoons, but like most/all spoons, an unexciting line-up of real ales limits it's potential.

Busy bar staff very approachable and happy to help food basic pub grub but we'll presented

In the UK, there are not many choices of food for Chinese people. In Lincoln, of course, there are a lot of fish and burger restaurants, but very few Chinese restaurants. The other option is spaghetti restaurants, but there are not many. I passed by this store many times and never entered. Finally, we entered the store with a family of four at noon. It turned out that the seats were self-sat and the food was purchased at the bar. The prices in the menu are acceptable and the food tastes good. This restaurant is a surprise for me, because I have another dining option in Lincoln. It’s like discovering a new world😍😍I’m very happy!

Great on a match day when Lincoln are playing. As an away fan always made to feel welcome. Quick service even when busy.

Very disappointed with the food today No chips after ordering a brunch and a burger Girl serving us very good but unfortunately the food was very poor Eggs cooked solid Mash was bland Burger had an end of an onion that you normally throw away Very little bacon but sausages were tasty

Didnt eat here so cant comment.. It was ok

Poped in while shopping for a drink and some lunch,very fast service and nice meals.

I only went in to the use the toilet, they were surprisingly clean and well maintained

Food was typical Wetherspoons. Service and staff friendly and helpful. Many tables untidy needed wiping and condiments missing from usual place.

I visit a lot of spoons pubs across the country. The Ritz has some of the best serving staff that I have experienced. They are first rate. The food is standard Spoons, but they get the orders right and it's hot on arrival. The two negatives about the Ritz. First of all is the temperature. The place is freezing. Cold drafts from the air conditioner despite it being 8 degrees outside. Thursday and Friday were so cold inside, I had to put my coat on. Finally, the drugs. Dealers working the floor with apparent impunity. Drugs in the toilet and chavs snorting in open view in the gents. Warwick Spoons has a camera in the gents, it is time to install one at the Ritz. It has the worst drug problem of any Spoons I have ever visited.

Service is teenagers with attitude problems only just left an hour ago and i wont be coming back

Large pub close to the city centre. Wide array of drinks available. Plenty of seating but was extremely busy on the Friday night I was there with many people eating (so assume they were running a special deal).

Great pub nice to meet friends there

When you have to eat a Luke warm breakfast in your hat n coat, it's cold
