Stumbled on this place on Wednesday, July 3, after a visit to the Phoenix Art Museum. We were traveling up Central looking for a place to cool off and have a cold drink, when my wife Marie noticed the sign for Lenny's on the nondescript strip mall. She had noticed "Shakes" on the window, so we pulled in to check it out.
Not a big place, but decorated like a diner from the 1950's but smaller. Lenny's was busy. People in line, people sitting enjoying their food. We got in line and quickly moved up to the counter. Marie ordered a 32 oz. mint cookie shake and I ordered a 32 oz. vanilla shake and an order of french fry for both of us. The total for the order was $11.00.
We waited about 3 minutes and our fries were ready. Picking that up at the counter, I see they are making our huge shakes. Another 2 minutes and our shakes were ready. Both of us found the flavors very enjoyable and the ice cream treat was cold and refreshing. The fries were tasty and we snacked on them as we sipped our way into a sugar coma.
We were able to watch the burgers being made as we sat at our small booth and both commented on how good they looked. Next time I'm in central Phoenix I will check out the taste of the burgers.
