I ordered the beef short ribs. They were in a brown gravy along with green beans and black-eyed peas and yams. The ribs were... burned and the tast was not good. The peas were way under cooked and hard in the middle. The green beans were over cooked andmushy. The yams were also under cooked. Then at the checkout the cashier did not have a mask on and sneezed twice withoutcovering her mouth. I should have left at that point!! It's a shame ???? but I will not go back again. It's too bad that thequality of service and the cooking has dropped so low. They also need to clean the floor. I'll miss my once a month visit butthat's it. No more Lena's for me!!! Read more
DISAPPOINTING I was sure looking forward to some authentic Soul Food for dinner after a long and difficult day. I drove 20... minutes in the other direction to feast on some great food, but was sorely disappointed even before I took a bite. The guybehind the cash register was a delight. He cheered the whole place up with his positive and friendly attitude. The girls takingthe order and dishing out the entrees and side dishes, not so much. If it's your first time there, make sure you know whatyou're ordering because patience is in short supply or non-existent. Friendly service is NOT a phrase I'd use to describe thefood line or when you order. Clearly they hate their job, and first timers. I ordered the large fries chicken plate which has 4pieces of chicken, and received two wings, a leg, and a breast. A chicken wing for $4 more! I won't be recommending this placeto anyone I know. In fact, I'll tell them of the terrible service and lack of value getting the larger plate. Sadly, I will notbe returning. Read more
