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:

Dude, how do you think pot roast was made before electric slow cookers were invented? Roasting pan covered with foil, lid or what-ever. Cast-iron pots were the popular choice and can do a better job in the oven than slow-cookers for the challenged. Not knocking busy people for slow cookers or microwaves, but I'm just saying, if I have the time, I'll roast something in the oven before I throw stuff together in a crock-pot. I'll also add again, I hate Lenny's. But I love a good pot roast out of the oven and falling apart with homemade au-jus or gravy with all the side vegetables.

I've got to agree with the OP. Lenny's food is just plain terrible! I figured i'd give it another try after the renovations. Nothings changed. Food is still terrible.

I was going to stop by for lunch today but didn't. The place looked packed. Like a Christmas party was going on. They are all probably really pissed right now because the food was horrible. :killingme

Was there this morning...

... for a good length of time also. At a banquet function and everything was outstanding. All of this hate is probably coming from ex-employees who just have a grudge or people who have personal motives.

Everyone loves to review restaurants, most are not qualified. I'm sure most of us have done it but this appears to be excessive.

All I have to say is that they have been there a long time and I imagine will be around a lot longer. Gotta be some reason for that.

Just opened a new user account to state your opinion today? See? People with motives and something to hide.

All this talk about Lenny's was making me hungry so I ate there tonight and as always the food was excellent. I noticed on the menu that there are two types of roast beef.... There was a slow roasted version as well as a sliced version. My guess is that the OP ordered the version he or she didn't normally care for.

About my meal; I ordered the Rockfish special and it was excellent. The Rockfish was baked to perfection and appeared to be extremely fresh. No fishy smell or strong flavors were present nor was the generous portioned fillet overcooked. My meal came with two side items so I chose a salad which I consumed prior to the arrival of main course. The salad was just average but I will say the vegetables were all very fresh and that the lettuce was crisp. I typically enjoy my salads served at room temperature and this salad was served right from the refrigerator at a much cooler temperature than I would otherwise prefer. The second side item I chose were the green beans. Again, there was no disappointment with the quality of the vegetables. The beans were steamed but not overly so and still had that crunch I would expect from a freshly steamed vegetable. The color was vibrant and the seasoning was perfect. Over all I would rate my meal at an 8 out of a possible ten. The two point deduction would be due to the salad being just average and served below room temperature.

About the service; it was a busy evening at Lenny's, however thanks in part to the recently expanded dining area our wait was most minimal. Immediately upon being seated we were approached by our waiter and we ordered drinks. With in 5 minutes we were sipping on ice tea, eating fresh dinner rolls and ordering our main course. The main course arrived just as we were finishing our salads. Refills were always granted with out having to request them and our check and table were cleared expeditiously at the completion of our meal.

What I enjoy about Lenny's; the food has always been good but what really makes Lenny's a pleasant place to dine is the clean, relaxing environment coupled with stellar service. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. If I hadn't of stumbled onto this negative thread regarding Lenny's I never would have known about the restaurants repuatation. I think many opinions are based on the pre-remodeled Lenny's that was dingy and smoky. First impressions can often be difficult to overcome but I think this restaurant deserves a second chance..... I know I'll continue to enjoy the gem known as Lenny's.

There are almost 100 thousand people living in this area, and you think a dozen or so that don't like Lenny's have an agenda?

You only post 6 times and 4 are in defense of Lenny's, I think you must be an owner or family member.....

I've only been to Lenny's to eat, not work and Lenny's and Petruzzie's are the only restaurants in this county I will not step into. Bad customer service from almost 20 years ago and I still haven't forgotten. There weren't too many restaurants around here then and small business owners like Danny thought they could get by with sub-standard service and food. There was no place else to go. You reap what you sow, and I'm surprised he doesn't have more bad reviews.

I qualify with my review of Lenny's as a previous customer. The only people not qualifed to say anything about Lenny's are the one's who have never eaten there. Fair enough? Only owners would disagree with a harsh review of the service or food. So bash me and my taste, but I will continue to recommend EVERY restaurant in this county over Lenny's for overall dining experience.

Dang Sindy...what the heck happened? I've only been there once (the old Lenny's) & it wasn't bad. Not spectacular, not terrible. I'm not a 'local' (only been here 9 years), but I sense that some of your anger comes from more than bad service. Feel free to expound.....

Folks, Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending nor bashing Lenny's, just curious about the details Sindy is referring to.

This a shame as you are missing out on some really great food and service from a fantastic local restaurant. No I don't work at Lenny's, nor am I an owner....

All the waiters and staff at Lenny's are very well groomed and they wear clean uniforms. The owner is extremely committed to making sure that customers are getting top notch service and the staff has always been very friendly and accommodating during each of our visits to Lenny's. How do I know about the owner? Each time I've dined there he walks around the dining room interacting with customers and inquiring about the service. A nice touch given the vast number of chain restaurants in the area....

I think you should go back to Lenny's and ask to speak to the owner regarding your negative experience at his restaurant. Not only I do I know he'll listen to you, but I also know that he'll want to hear your feedback so he can prevent future negative occurrences. Most small business owners are very perceptive to what their customers have to say. I know for a fact that Lenny's is one of them.
