Strung Out
WOW!
Haven't been in there is AGES (long before the remodel) and all I can say is WOW!
The atmosphere is very nice, the staff were great (thank you, Presley, for a job well done!). Bathrooms nice and clean. Great beer selection. And the food was 4.5 stars. Maybe better.
I had their version of jambalaya, with penne. I am a penne nazi and far too many folks mess it up. This was perfect. The shrimp were perfect, another easy to mess up thing in a entree. Sausage was nice, coulda been spicier. The chicken was fab and it's done in a cheese sauce that could easily be some mac and cheese over blown mess. It was perfect, just a great sauce, not too anything.
She had this thing called 'stuffed ham' which most people know will kill you. Kinda like that Japanese blow fish sushi; every once in awhile, you die yet people claim to love it and it is some sort of must have thing.
Well, you didn't hear me say this but, it was good! Surprisingly good. I might even order it good. It's the St. Mary's platter which there is, rumor has it, an underground movement to get on the regular menu, as is the Danny's jambalaya that I had. The St. Mary's comes with the stuffed ham and fried oysters which, apparently both have some sort of connection to not just somd but, St. Mary's in particular. Salad was fine. Blue cheese.
The oysters were perfect and I am picky about them, too. Great meals and the ham didn't kill me. Yet.
Oh yeah, and we, as beer lovers, had this giant glass tube full of beer, 100 ounces, they bring to your table with was novel, interesting and, for us, very practical. Has it's own tap.
4.5 stars all the way around. Maybe more!
PS, we had another round of beers in the bar afterwards, great bar as well. Twin big sceens, nice little tables, and the bar itself is the original from before the remodel. And our beer wench was fun and engaging. And we, with other patrons, settled a key mystery of the universe; crusty mustard. It's a color.
Lenny's! I'll be back for more!

I give you credits.... I would not have done that. Now or ever.
The St Marys Democrat Club often meets at Lenny's 
Well I did not know you meant that as I thought it was just a spelling mistake you were pointing out.
