    I went here with a group of my girlfriends for our galentines and it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff we interacted with just so friendly and helpful. They were attentive to allergies and gave us all the GF options! It was an amazing first experience, and we will definitely be back again!

    Wonderful and personal experience at Lindeys! The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff was so friendly, especially to our kiddos. We got the calamari, ahi tuna, bread, and highlight for me was the burger. The kids meal portions were also very generous! Certainly a great place to celebrate a special occasion!

    Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!
