I’ve been eating breakfast a Lenny’s for more than two years. In that time, I have seen the quality of the food diminish terribly. Also during this period I have observed many unsanitary food handling, from dropping food on the floor and placing it back in the fryer to using bare hands to handle food. When I quietly said something to the cooks, the lead cook to exception and told me I was no longer welcome in the restaurant. The owner Shelby is a sweet person and I certainly understand that good help is hard to get in a small town. However I would not suggest this diner to anyone.

Lenny’s is your standard small town diner. There’s nothing special about it. History and charm only get you so far. Atmosphere is lacking. Food is mediocre at best(how do you mess up scrambled eggs). In a town where so much is available fresh or local, neither is the case here. The prices are great and the service is nice, though. If you’re going for breakfast, do get the sausage gravy. That’s pretty good. 2.5 stars rounded to 3.

The food was pretty decent. I had the Lenny burger, fried pickles, and a coke. The staff was very friendly. The pickles were a bit greasy, but I’m sure they just came out of the fryer. Also, the burger patty was a little disappointing like it was a low to mid quality frozen burger from the grocery store. However, I was quite pleased with the look and the food was on par with most diners like this. It was good enough that I’d go back. The price was pretty moderate and I love to help out a small business.

This place is the bomb! The Western Omelette is more than one person should eat in one sitting… but OH so good. Don’t get me started on the Chipped Beef with Gravy on Biscuits. After having this, had to travel back two blocks to my rental house and take a nap! Talk about filling… and good! Nothing special about the surroundings but the coffee and food are totally satisfying. Eat here.

We ate breakfast here Saturday morning based on a reference from a local. It’s «the place» for eggs made to order. For a little less than six bucks I had the two eggs, breakfast potatoes, ham and toast along with coffee. Breakfast isn’t rocket science, but they definitely had it down. The over easies were perfectly cooked, our waitress was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast. Like other people said, everyone seemed to know each other there, but we weren’t made to feel like outsiders so it was pretty cool.

A dive-y sort of breakfast joint in a 30 year time warp where everyone knows everyone. Looking for someone in town, but they haven’t returned your phone calls? Chances are you’ll find ‘em here Sunday mornings for breakfast. Like Colonial Beach itself, it’s not a flashy place, but the food is a notch above your typical Waffle house standard. The waitstaff and friendly and will make you feel right at home. It’s cheap too… like you could get away with breakfast for a five bills and change per person. A lot cheaper than a ride in a time machine.
