Lenox Fast Food — Restaurant in New York

What an awesome spot to happen across for a super early morning breakfast as I was passing by around 5:45am!!

Owner/Manager Sullie and Cook Gregory were friendly and stellar—it’s clearly a small and well-loved neighborhood staple which regulars seem to frequent, and are greeted by “hey boss,” etc. A very,neighborhood greasy spoon joint.

And the food….breakfast perfection! Eggs over-easy are, well—by name, ironically NOT easy as they’re the toughest to really cook well without a ton of grease yet cook throughly while still allowing for that delicious “runny-like” consistency.

But Cook Gregory did it perfectly. Unlike at a deli where over easy or over medium eggs are often over cooked and/or just extremely greasy these were perfect. Even better, I only asked for one egg over easy plus toast but was served two.

They skimped on nothing. For $4.00 I received two eggs plus large toast with butter and jelly and a small coffee with cream—everything fresh, hot and great plus a pleasant interaction with the staff.

If I lived closer I’d totally be stopping in here for breakfast at least a few times per month.

Good to note: they don’t have in restaurant seating but have very quick walk-in ordering for take out as well as call ahead...

Simple and delicious. The menu is limited, but the breakfast here is American greasy-spoon done right. Eggs, grits, sausage patties, eggo type waffles, hash, fries, toast...nothing fancy, don't ask for challah bread or poached eggs, lol! This is how it tastes when a cook actually takes this simple food seriously. Eggs are never overcooked, sandwiches are moist and fluffy and the bacon has the perfect crisp. Don't do that online ordering BS. Pull up a stool, introduce yourself to Sonny and Greg, and have a tasty sandwich or platter. The counter is only about three feet from the grille, so the food is HOT, lol. Oh, always say...

After hearing a few of the guys I work with mention the place, I made a point of giving it a try.

It's a small place, a counter and a few stools, no tables. I've been there twice for breakfast, salmon cakes with eggs and home fries, and corned beef hash with eggs and home fries.

The food was good, the service was fast. I'll go there again next time I have to work...
