You might be confused by this spot’s name, but Lindell’s is not actually a chocolate shop: it’s a friendly restaurant that offers an amazing vintage atmosphere and some of the tastiest food imaginable.

In its earliest years, the building housed a candy-making business. The on-site restaurant opened in 1918 and has now offered timeless memories and delicious fare to generations of hungry Michiganders.

When you arrive at Lindell, you’ll notice the 1920s-era sign outside. This is an indicator of the history-rich vibe that awaits inside - in fact, the eatery houses so much memorabilia that it feels like a museum.
