Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about The Dotted Lime and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the Co-Owner, Paul Jensen.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes The Dotted Lime stand apart from its competitors. Paul told us:

“We’re not your average commodity-style restaurant. We’re meeting a need in the community. We address issues for people with allergies and will cater to any condition or food sensitivity.”

When we asked Paul about The Dotted Lime’s business mission, or how they work to make the world a better place, he told us about how they use local farms to provide their delicious food:

“A big part of it is making sure we’re intertwined with the community. We work hard to support local families operating their own businesses. Instead of using big box stores, we use local farms and help them feed their families.”

Building Success, Online And Off

The Dotted Lime has earned a wonderful reputation, so we asked Paul what he has done to grow this business and get their name out. He said that they focus on being involved in the community and keep in touch with their customers over social media sites, like Facebook and Instagram.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as The Dotted Lime has managed to. We asked if Paul could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“I really believe that people in general embrace online engagement, when they can see something personal. They want to know about the people behind the business. When you can start to make your business personal, it makes the customer feel good.”

The Dotted Lime has just celebrated their two-year anniversary! Congrats to the entire crew that has made this milestone possible!


Congratulations to The Dotted Lime for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Paul for taking the time to speak with us!
