“Honest Abe” could easily have been named “Simple Abe”, judging by his favorite meal he was known to order during the Civil War.
Established in 1827, New York City’s Delmonico’s has seen its fair share of famous faces through eras of war, depression, Wall Street crises, and the everyday chaos of the Big Apple.
Standing the test of time and holding rave reviews to this day, the walls may not be able to talk, but culinary traditions have been passed down for generations, including Abraham Lincoln’s favorite meal.

Despite being a world leader, the president kept his order simple, passing up upscale fare for the beloved potatoes au gratin, which Delmonico’s puts its own twist on with mashed potatoes, cheese and breadcrumbs.
Unfortunately, “Delmonico’s Potatoes” has been 86’d from the menu. But who knows? Maybe passing along a $5 bill could entice the kitchen to remaster this presidential favorite.
That said, the famed steakhouse itself is still just as classy, and oozing nostalgia—though prices have obviously spiked since its 1800s heyday.
More known for its signature steak than potatoes anyway, Delmonico’s has been serving its famous Delmonico Steak since 1850 after first starting out as a pastry shop in 1827, and opening “America’s first fine dining steakhouse” just one decade later.

During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln dined at Delmonico’s, where he reportedly praised Lorenzo Delmonico’s cooking—a fitting presidential connection for a restaurant that had already become one of New York’s most celebrated dining destinations.
Lincoln’s connection to New York didn’t end with his dinners at Delmonico’s. Just weeks after his assassination in April 1865, his funeral procession made its way through the city, where thousands gathered along Broadway to pay their respects.
