May take my Mom there for lunch tomorrow. She's been wanting to go since some of the folks she talks to said it was great. She likes soup and I like most everything. Recommendations?
According to the reviews take her to Sunday Brunch instead.

Lenny's = very good since they've re-opened.

Haven't been dissapointed with anything on their menu yet and we've been there a few times. Very impressed with the food each time.

I recommend the cream of crab soup... The sirloin with Garlic mash taters is really good as well, as is the portobello mushroom sandwich...

Lennys has sucked big time for 20 years!

I have to agree with that. I have lived here almost all my life and every time I have gone it has been bad. Tyky and I went a few years ago and we felt like we were being ripped off having to pay the prices they were charging for the food they were serving.

Petruzzi's is the same way. I told D the owner that is sucked and he was shocked that I would actually tell him that. He seemed more pissed at me for saying something than his kitchen staff for sending out crappy food.

Grilled cheese. It's the best I've ever had. $3.95, I think WITH the great chips and a pickle.

I was at Lenny's the last night Rocky the old piano man played. I haven't been in close to nine years now, but I did see that it has expanded and the new addition looks nice. My favorite was the prime rib with au jous and a side of horseradish.

There are so many variations of Pot Roast; perhaps the OP's family just didn't get the kind they were expecting.

Like many have already posted, I like mine cooked slow, so that the meat just falls apart, with red potato's, carrots, onions and a medium thick gravy. Or, leave the potato's out and serve it with mashed potato's.

Here's a weird recipe I found on the web:


MOUTH WATERING SUPER EASY POT ROAST
1 pot roast that fits your slow-cooker
1 can Cola "classic"
1 envelope of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix

Place a 3-4 lb pot roast in slow-cooker (or large enough to fit the size of slow cooker you will be using).
Pour half an envelope of Lipton Onion Soup mix over the roast. Pour the entire can of cola over roast, and then top with remainder of soup mix.
Set slow cooker on high and cook for 4 hours. Turn pot roast over about half way through cooking time. The meat falls apart - it's so moist! YUM!!! Submitted by: laurie b.

I've had many a bad Prime Rib, usually it has way too much fat for me, so I just don't order it anymore.

Why go out to eat and order something you can make at home in your slow cooker or oven? :wasteofmoney:

I'm always amazed at how people can have such wide opinions on the same restaurant :lol:

I like Lennys - good food, the service was fine, the place looks great. I'm most surprised that anyone would be unhappy with the prime rib, because that's one of their specialties and it's always been excellent.

:lmao: It's the acid in the coke that beaks the meat down..... Interesting recipe, tho.

The only place I get a Prime Rib now is the Aberdeen Barn. The best. Everywhere else I've gotten one lately is the frozen pre-packaged stuff like you get from Omaha Steaks. Those are awful.

I think I'll try it next time I make a pot roast.

Yes your right. It's called an opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. I'll say it again. THE
PRIME RIB SUCKED!!! No spices, no flavor, and no horseradish. As far as the Pot Roast goes, it was not what I expected. Everyone I 've talked to about it agrees. Pot Roast is cooked in a slow cooker, with the vegetables together. Not in a roasting pan. The meat should be falling apart, Not sliced, and dry as well. Enjoy eating there. I know I won't ever be back.:barf:

You're pretty cranky just because someone disagrees with you about a restaurant.
