A little history on our namesake:
The Linwood Hotel: John B. Pullis established the Linwood Hotel in about 1888. Located on the Southeast corner of South Clinton Avenue and Linden Place, the Linwood Hotel temporarily housed WW1 Navy flyers from the Bay Shore Aero Station while their barracks were being constructed. The Linwood was destroyed by fire on October 11, 1925.

    One of my favorite spots! The food is always great. Loved the grilled octopus appetizer, one of the best octopus dishes I’ve had! The meatloaf is so delicious and the fried chicken sandwich is a must! Absolutely beautiful ambiance!

    This was our first night out after the birth of our 9 month old and the staff, food quality, and atmosphere was on point and what we needed. The service was fast but also allowed us time to enjoy. Would highly recommend and return.
