Lindaman's

It's tough keeping up on the next big food trend, but Lindaman's has managed to balance new flavors with classic favorites for 28 years. Lindaman’s offers comfort food options like Merrilee’s wildly popular romaine salad as well as a southern-style sweet potato pie, which keeps the foodie regulars coming back, some of whom, Lindaman insists, "come in every day." If you're looking for a little liquid pick-me-up, you can have it with alcohol or “sans,” with their full bar and coffee selections from Doma. If you want both, a Cafe Corretto, Italian for “corrected coffee,” will do the trick — a shot of espresso chased with a shot of liquor, notably Sambuca, will have you drinking like an Italian.
