Lenny’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Clearwater

40 plus years it's been the place my family and friends came to feel like we were sitting at our grandmother's table. My grandparents.my mother and father,my children have been loyal customers. Memories. Lennys....... Saturday morning my oldest son and I met there for breakfast. Server was funny. He was prompt with our drinks and taking our order. Then it went down hill from there. Server stood talking with the table next to us and it was like he forgot he had other customers.....no danish basket untill after our food finally came which I had to ask for. My son and I are in the restaurant business and understand things happen. Every item on both plates were cold. Pancakes wouldn't even melt the butter. I had to flag server down and his reaction was"IM GOING TO KILL THOSE COOKS I took your food out as soon as they were in the window". And 10 minutes later returned with the same food and plates that were reheated in the microwave and I had chicken and waffles benedict which doesn't do well reheated in a microwave. We would have waited for new orders. We didn't eat our food. Went to the girl at the front register with curly hair and a sharp tounge. I explained our situation and she cut me off saying she needed to get the manager. She returns a few minutes later never apologizing or showing any empathy. She grabbed the calculator and mumbled she had to figure it out. I said "I'm sorry but we will pay for our drinks" she snapped that the manager was too busy to speak with us or handle it so she had to do it. She proceeded to slam her fingers on the calculator and said 6 dollars for drinks. I payed for our drinks and she tossed my change in my hand and slammed the register. I said "I've been coming here since I was a little girl but I will not be back". She said GOOD .....Its sad because of the way we were treated. Manager was too busy ...and generations of loyal customers will not be returning. Our friends came to the conclusion that they are not going to return because of this. Word...

Lenny’s in Clearwater, Florida, is a classic spot for a satisfying breakfast or lunch, with some standout dishes. Let’s start with their famous matzoh ball soup—it’s phenomenal! The matzoh balls are perfectly light and pillowy, floating in a deeply flavorful broth that’s brimming with tender chicken and vibrant vegetables. It’s the kind of soup that feels like a warm hug.

We decided to branch out and try the three-sandwich special, wanting to try the chopped liver sandwich, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. It leaned far too sweet for my taste, overshadowing the rich, savory depth I was hoping for. On the other hand, the club sandwich was an absolute home run. Piled high with all the classic fixings, it hit every note I wanted—crisp bacon, juicy turkey, and perfectly toasted bread.

Sides can make or break a meal, and while the potato salad had potential, the sweetness was over the top. A heavy hand with the sugar really threw it off for me. However, the pickle dish? Now that’s something to write home about! The assortment was fresh and tangy, and I particularly loved the cucumbers and beets, which added a unique and delicious touch.

Lenny’s has a lot going for it, and while not everything wowed me, the highlights more than made up for the misses. Whether you’re in the mood for a comforting bowl of soup or a perfectly crafted sandwich, it’s definitely worth a visit. Just maybe skip the potato salad if you’re not a fan of...

Non-complaint to ADA needs. Owner refused to follow the ADA laws. There were about 50% table availability, but refused to allow my mom to sit at a table while rest of party arrived and parked. Server was excellent and food is excellent. But I am not going to take “you can go somewhere else” from the owner. My mom is blind and a walker, so won’t be returning. Rude. Rude. Rude.

In response to your response... You MUST have noticed that there were still empty tables when my daughter and her guest arrived. So would not have hurt your business one bit to allow my blind, disabled mom to sit at a table as she requested (we intentionally came on the early, early side so she would be comfortable navigating). I DO understand the point of not seating parties until all guests are present, but there were AT LEAST two parties seated at tables who had others join them as we sat there. So you were inconsistent with the "rules." It's your business, do what you want. But I'm not contributing to a business who can't treat those clearly on their sunset time of life with special care. We didn't ask for the moon. Just a table. She wanted coffee. She can't just hold the cup in her hand continually-- she had a stroke and that ability is gone. So she is VERY disabled and you disregarded her and our party. You should have more compassion.

Also, my dad is JP Nelis, coach. So he's not returning-- nor am I, my kids, my sister and our...
