    Smoked cream cheese with hot honey and seasoned crackers.
    Annette B.

    There were 4 of that had a late lunch there- very good timing. The service was quick and friendly. The food was very good. We shared the smoked cheese and cracker appetizer. Basically it was seasoned cream cheese that was heated, scored, and topped with hot honey. It had seasoned saltines with it. See pic. I'll have to try making this at home! I'd heard they were known for their brisket- it was very good. I brought one slice home for a dinner sandwich. My sides of fries and Mac-n-cheese were also very good. The restaurant is in an old mill that's very well done. It's bright and open with lots of exposed brick.

    Lovely lunch here after a drive from near Franklin on a Thursday. The food was outstanding as were the sides. We took home a couple of desserts and especially enjoyed the Dulce de leche cake. Also took home a slab of ribs as well. The employees there were beyond helpful and patient with us as we were first timers. Probably the most friendly bunch we've ever run across. We also got to meet and chat with Blake. They were across the board passionate about their food...with good reason. We look forward to a return trip in the coming weeks!

    It's a drive but is definitely worth it. This is only my second visit here but I'm down for a 3rd, 4th etc. First of all such a beautiful and unique building. The history and the original interior still there which I didn't take pictures of but hey, means you should go lol. Then the food. Blakes probably has the most affordable sampler bbq platter especially with the quality of food you get. Freaking $28 for brisket, pulled pork, turkey, pork ribs, sausage link, choice of two sides, jalapeno cornbread. That is a steal!!!! (Bologna in pic I got additional a la carte )The brisket is very black pepper forward. (Not Zavala's level black pepper) Last time a year ago I thought I might be just the slice I got but 2/2 times and both home runs in my book. Turkey is wonderfully moist and smoky. The ribs bit perfectly and I love the sauce in the house sauce with it. The corn bread had this cake like moisture and texture that balanced the bits of jalapeño. Oh I'm also a sucker for what I think is a sour cream based potato salad. Helps keep the fork moving with all these fatty meats. THE BEST PIMENTO CHEESE with garlic seasoned crackers. The cheddar with the pimento peppers and whatever else magic is in there. I could eat a whole charcuterie board of this stuff. And I'm only here for the barbecue. Seeing and smelling the other food on the menu being served and taken to other tables made me drool.

    Oh my gosh! This place is pretty darn good! Really enjoyed the bbq here. Being from Houston I'm exposed to lots of bbq, and this place is freaking awesome! Try the deviled eggs. YUM! The Mac n Cheese. YUM! Brussels sprouts. YUM! Brisket has an amazing smoke ring. Rib was fall of the bone delish. Everything great. Do yourself a favor. Come here. Eat. Enjoy yourself. And don't forget to look at the dessert counter. In health and happiness! Cheers!

    Super Friendly! But super Slow service. Bar tenders very 'la-ti-da' behind the counter. Drinks take forever to get. The food, however, is not only delicious, it is very unexpected and different for the are! Same goes for the fantastic ambiance, decor, and overall design of the whole restaurant and bar! I ordered the Smoked Cheese Dip appetizer with the seasoned crackers and for an entree the Run of the Mill (sampler platter) which came with smoked turkey slices, 1/2 link of jalapeño cheddar sausage, pulled pork, 2 slices of brisket, a fall-off-the-bone tender pork rib, fried Brussel sprouts, Mac & Cheese, and jalapeño cornbread. The Run of the Mill ran me about $26 (as of Mar '23), and is MORE than enough food for a second meal. I couldn't have sat there and ate all that if I'd wanted to after a beer or two and a large appetizer. The cheese dip appetizer is fantastic and very different, but those dang seasoned crackers are epic. You can add take-home packages of them bad boys for only $1/ea. and if you don't get some to carry with you, you're officially certifiable. Too good and wish I had more! Overall, great experience and food, just go when you have some time to kill and don't expect it to be super quick. We just hung out and enjoyed grazing and were fine, especially as the servers were so nice. Well done, Blake's!

    Ok, seriously, this place is wonderful! The food is made from scratch tasty, all employees appear happy to be there, and the transformation of the building is beautiful. This place is 10 of 10. Definitely put this on your to do list!

    Good old fashioned BBQ on a tray!
    Valerie S.

    We loved this place for some good BBQ with lots of great choices. The brisket was outstanding. The loaded sweet potato and Mac and Cheese were exceptional also. We stumbled in by accident while on a trip but we will definitely be back! We were waited on very quickly even though the restaurant was busy and our food came quickly. A very nice visit.

    Food is a little pricy but IMO, it is worth it. Service is always great, too. Drinks, food, and dessert are always great.

    This my friends, is a classic "hidden gem"…read more You probably wouldn't know it's a restaurant from driving by, that is, if you even were to randomly drive by this place, it's literally kind of hidden. No, the outside isn't much to look at, but it's what's on the inside that counts anyways. Great service, great prices, and even better food. I can't say enough good things about Lenny's. My family and I have visited Lenny's twice and have sampled most of the menu in those two trips. Everything is fantastic. Everything is made from scratch and is a plentiful portion. You will NOT leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. I will drop all the photos of food with their names on this review. My photos won't do it justice, but at least I've tried. We ordered the fried mushrooms to start. They were excellent. Sometimes fries mushrooms are slimy on the inside and you instantly regret your decision, but these were piping hot and FRESH. My dad got a ribeye that was huge and looked delicious. Mom got a BBQ sandwich topped with homemade slaw. And my brother ordered the fish tacos, that'll be what I try next time. My favorite so far is their specialty chicken (grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, covered in mozzarella) and their bbq nachos (HUGE portion, I will share a picture)! Wow. So good. So go see for yourself and give Lenny's a try. It'll be your new go to family night too!
