I had been going here for years but then moved out of the area. After moving back I have been going back to Lenny's a little bit here and there. Today when I asked my wife what she wanted for lunch, and she said Lenny's, I was happy.
I would usually go with 4 stars for a place like this because the food is that good in my opinion but I am just tacking on the extra one this time for the nostalgia. Does nostalgia make food taste better you ask? You're darn right it does.
Two single country burgers, a single order of chili cheese fries, and a vanilla shake later I was back in high school and college all over again. I really hate going back to my old dives because I am afraid they are not going to live up to my memories as some have and been scratched off the list. But Lenny's lived up to that and more today.
You just can't beat how small and packed it gets. People lined up out the door around noon each day, waiting for their food, barely being able to keep up with the filling of drinks and ketchup cups. But it happens like clockwork just as I have remembered. But truly, the food is pretty darn good and it has stood the test of time.
I can't wait to go back.
P.S. Does anyone know what the Lenny's wi-fi was about? It was locked down but why even broadcast it? Can you pay for wi-fi there?
