The food is delicious! Well worth the wait in line! And try the yams! You will thank me later!
I had the large catfish with 3 sides and it was so good! Oh and I had a side of peach cobbler for dessert. Huge portions as you can see!
If you want soul food.... this is the place! The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous! Everything from greens, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, prawns, fish, smothered pork chops... haven’t had a bad experience. The wait times vary so be prepared to wait... it gets crowded out of nowhere! Delicious!
I tried their food a couple of days ago and was blown away by how good it was. Definitely holds it's on compared to a lot of soul food restaurants in the south. I had the fish plate with a side of macaroni and cheese and green beans. Fish was the bomb!
Lena's was really cool. Original soul food prepared by most gracious black people who treat you like family. And if you ARE family then you can help bus the tables and bring out more pitchers of iced tea. Nice unpretentious exterior. Private dining room that can hold a group of about 30. AND of course, home style ribs, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, green cornbread, etc...YEA!!!
