Lincoln Square Shopping Center

Parking policy is ridiculous. Met a friend for a quick bite, then we headed off to do something else. We decided to take one car and within an hour of leaving my car was towed. They take pics as people leave then tow their cars.

Will never shop at this shopping center again. Met my husband for drinks at Sherlock’s before the Rangers game and condense into one car to get to the game. Came back and my car had been towed. Huge line of Rangers fans and it cost me $ 298! Highway robbery.
It was a Wednesday game, the parking lot wasn’t even half full and they decide to tow my car even though I was technically a customer by buying a drink. Absolutely disgusting. Never shopping or eating in this area again. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I live close by and shop often at Lincoln Square. Versona has some really trendy items. Stein Mart always has a sale! Usually, I have to spend some time digging through a mountain of clothes to find something. Best Buy has closed down unfortunately. I purchased so much from them (my roku, my tv, my computer). Now, I’ll have to find another place that’s close. Pier 1, Half Price Books are there. Bed Bath & Beyond is a really good store and their return policy is so fantastic! I haven’t ever needed to return anything but I bought my juicer from there. The teller told me that as long as I had the receipt, I could return it at any time (no time limit). I lucked up on the Physicians Weight Loss Clinic and joined. I’ve gone from squeezing into a size 12 to easing into a size 8 in 4 months– HONESTLY! I had been dieting for years and those people have really helped me. I shop at Ulta often and they are pretty good. One bad spot is the Ross — it’s usually a waste of time when I go in there. I wish the Michaels had better classes. The restaurants are hit and misses. Social Baker is wonderful and probably the best dining place. Blue Mesa is just okay for me, friends love it. I don’t like the Fridays or Black Eye Pea very much. BoomerJacks is okay. I have had so much fun at Sherlock’s! It’s pretty smoky though. But it’s a nice bar and the have live music often. Olive Garden is Olive Garden — this one may be on a lower scale though. Which Which is good, Jason’s Deli is good. Well, I guess it’s no wonder I needed the weight loss clinic. :-)

There’s not one week that goes by when I don’t stop by at least one place in Lincoln Square. Its so much more personal than going to a regular enclosed mall. A great selection of stores — chicos, versona, gap, best buy, ross, petsmart, half price books. And special shout out to stein mart.
And then theres the restaurants/​bars — which wich, sprouts, biraporettis. And a special shout to Lupes.
Yes, its been there a long time and theres been a lot of turnover in the past 25 years. But theres something for everyone — check it out!

I’m a really big fan of Lincoln Square — it isn’t hoity-​toity, it has a little bit of everything to offer, it’s easy to access (when Collins isn’t too crazy, watch out on big game days), and it seems to be getting cleaner and more modern all the time without losing it’s original essence. I love Arlington and to me, Lincoln Square is a really important part of it.
You’ve got plenty of restaurants here; mostly chains but still a good selection with some one-​of-​a-​kind spots mixed in. Along with Jason’s Deli, TGI Friday’s, Blue Mesa, and Boomer Jack’s you’ve got some unique non-​chain options like Birra Poretti’s, Lupe’s Tex Mex (small north Texas chain) the Popcorn Store, Chaucer’s, Olenjack’s Grill, and Social Bakehouse Café. I’ve also gotta mention Sprouts because they have amazing phở and I love that place! Basically, there are a ton of quality places for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner– whatever you’re craving.
Now let’s talk about shopping! I’d rather go to Lincoln Square any day before I’d go to a mall. They have most things you’d need; Pier 1 Imports, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross, Marshall’s, Ulta, PetSmart, Steinmart, Bath & Body Works, Office Depot, a jewelry store, and more. I think they could definitely use a Hobby Lobby and maybe a Target… But otherwise I’m happy and find myself shopping here quite often. OH! And they have Half Price Books, and nothing makes me happier than that.
Lincoln Square is a simple and well-​filled shopping center, although it’s not really a square at all. There’s a bit of grassy space with a fountain and benches outside of Half Price Books that is probably as close to they’ll get to having a center plaza, but I’ll take it and continue to spend many an afternoon strolling by.

Decent area. Love Sprouts here. Of course this area has Bed Bath & Beyond along with Pier Imports! Don’t go here if there is an event at the Cowboys Stadium. You will be waiting for hours to get seated at restaurants here!

I actually kinda like this place! You can find lots of different stores and restaurants to explore. Its pretty during the winter time too.

Like Max said, this is an alternative place to park for a Rangers game. It definitely a good spot when you have the Yankees or BoSox coming in town as the ballpark WILL be full. If you plan on eating anyway just show up early as the spots get filled up quickly.
As for the shops, its a decent shopping center. There’s a couple of stores that you would find at a mall and some others that you would normally find in shopping strips. All in all it’s a pretty good mix of shopping and food.

Lincoln Square for event parking. Good idea if you consider the following:
Poor choice of restaurants. Both times we went during a Stadium event, the restaurants were way understaffed, unable to handle the rush of patrons. You have to spend 40 bucks to park for free. So unless you are able to get a meal or drink 40 bucks in alcohol, you might as well go buy something at Pier One. If you want to risk it, get there EARLY. We were there at 5 PM for an 8 pm event. No chance getting into any of the restaurants. Not even the bars. Solution is to go to one of the stores and purchase something worth 40 bucks, then walk over across the street to one of those eating establishments. We ended up at the New York Pizza and Pasta place. Not optimistic about the quality of food here, however I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza (white) ($ 16) was fantastic. A medium was so huge it could easily feed four very hungry people. I was thrilled when I walked in to see beer on the tables, however quickly disappointed when I learned we had to go next door to the Save A Lot to purchase it. Kind of funny though.
Tip-​bring your own beer or wine from home into the parlor.
It only took us 15 minutes to walk from here to the stadium. You want to make sure you go left at the walmart BEFORE the Light at Randal Mill. It is shorter and more direct, no traffic and you can cut through the Walmart Parking lot at the end side. Don’t walk all over their nice plants and shrubs. Use the street and sidewalks.
