We searched for a good place to eat after our shopping trip to Duluth Trading, and were delighted with Lena's Kitchen! It was small and cozy feeling, and service was attentive, warm and friendly. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite dishes, and love when a menu offers many Benedict choices. I went with the Florentine, and it did not disappoint. My husband had the Mediterranean omelette (which of course I tasted)... very tasty! We subbed our hash browns for a corned beef hash and pancakes, both delicious! The potatoes in the hash were nice and crispy, and loved the fluffy pancakes. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area! read more

Sunday breakfast, here is what we liked: * Immediate seating. Everything online said it's a small place so plan on a wait. It was small but a table for two was easily accommodated. * The staff were all friendly and engaging. Several stopped to make sure we had enough coffee and were all set. *Crispy hash browns- love it when both sides are crispy but you still have the nice potato shreds in the middle. * Got a sampler breakfast that had a ton of food- don't recall what it was but solid large serving for a good price. *Overall a nice breakfast, hot food, tasted good and great service. What could of been better: * The homemade corn beef hash just dint have the right ratio- very potato heavy. Wasn't bad, just more like hashbrowns with corn beef added. It's a hidden place with little to no signage from the road- but it's a good stop. Would come back again read more

This place is in an office building. It's is very unique. They have a multitude of breakfast options and portions are large. Coffee was served right when we sat down and was good, not watered down. Our waitress came right up too. If you like French toast there are about 15 options with jazzy to berries or just cinnamon and sugar. Omelet options are plentiful as well. It is open until 3. Excellent taste for all the food! This is hidden gem. Definitely will come back. read more

I love Lena's omelets. I frequently get their "Southern Omelet" smothered in their tasty sausage gravy. The portions on all their menu items are always huge and we always end up getting a "to go" container to savor their awesome food one more time at home. Definitely recommend Lena's for breakfast or lunch. They're open for breakfast and lunch until 2pm on Sundays, too! read more

A Great Spot for a Hearty Breakfast My family discovered Lena's Kitchen this past weekend and we knew it would be good by the size of the crowd waiting in the large lobby. Luckily, the wait wasn't too bad--about 25 minutes, which is very reasonable for a popular spot on a Sunday morning. The food lived up to the hype. It's not a fancy place, but they serve solid, satisfying breakfast dishes at decent prices. Portions were huge--enough to take some home for leftovers. The Reuben was excellent, packed with a generous amount of corned beef, and the Southern omelette was delicious as well. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd return to! read more

We came to this unique little restaurant, built into the side of an office space and it was adorable! The service was so prompt and patient as my mom ordered herself (English is her second language). The food was generously portioned. One star off because my Greek omelet breakfast desperately needed salt but when trying everyone else's dishes, Philly Benedict with a side crepe and veggie omelet, they were spectacular. Would 100% come back to try this place again. read more

Lena's is fine, not great, and somewhat disappointing. Long heralded as a prime breakfast place I struggle to agree with the hype. It used to be very good but no so much anymore. The last time I dined here before yesterday was about 2 years ago and I was equally underwhelmed then, which is why I hadn't returned in 2 years. I ordered corned beef hash yesterday, which is one of my favorite breakfast dishes. It was nothing but hash browns with some diced up corned beef, it was flavorful enough and I admit they served a very generous portion, but I was expecting onions and peppers. Something more than just potatoes and corned beef. This restaurant has a section on the breakfast menu with a variety of hashes--that section does not include the corned beef hash--so I was expecting far more than I got. My husband had fried eggs and ham. He said that the eggs were cooked as he likes them. We shared a pancake and it was tasty. Nothing wrong with this place. But also nothing outstanding. Service was efficient. Waitress was nice. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service. Will be back as our go to breakfast spot. The portions were perfect and everything was hot.

Anything and everything is amazing. At this place, you want to use something really good stop here. If you're out near Wixom, you can't go wrong, getting food here. Customer service is top-notch. And it's a very cozy setting, too read more

Great food - that's why it's very busy at lunch time. Nice inside Attentive waitstaff

Pulling up to the address, it looks weird. It is in the first floor of an office building. Inside it looks like a typical diner. The food is good and portions are generous. Service is top notch. There was a wait on Sunday morning but they process tables fast. So, we waited less time than they predicted. read more

We were attending a conference in Novi and decided to leave the grounds for the lunch break. So glad we did because this place checked all the boxes. Amazing service (Holly is the best), delicious food, fast service, breakfast, lunch, you name it. Portions were generous and prices very reasonable. I had the chicken gyro with their homemade tzatziki sauce. It was SO good! A few had breakfast and man those hash browns looked perfect!! Very cute and homey. There will probably be a wait if you go on the weekend, but there is a ton of space to wait in the lobby so pack your patience and settle in, it will be worth the wait. read more

Yelp came through again! We picked a winner based on Yelpers' reviews!! Food - fantastic Service - unbeatable Ambience - good They sure pack this place. We understand why the tables are so close together. It's a small space, and there's a fairly high demand for breakfast/brunch. We lucked out and got seated in a booth. There's seating outside the restaurant for guests waiting to be called on. It's a hidden gem for sure and you have to know about this place to dine here. We saw a few people leave after learning that the entire party must be present in order to be seated. We're accustomed to this rule and don't mind it. It's truly understandable considering the popularity of this place; however, the sign could be more presentable. The food? I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Suffice it to say, our bellies were quite happy. My husband could not stop raving about his choice. I had Nutella Lovers Pancakes (with bananas and strawberries) and he had Meat Lovers Griddle. Be warned: there's an extra charge for credit card payments. I think it ended up to be about $1 extra for us. Check in with Yelp and you get a 10% discount. We will be back! read more

Though she may be little, she is mighty! Prepare for a wait for a breakfast table here. It doesn't have enough tables to support its weekend breakfast crowd - mostly because the food is so delicious and the service so good, it's packed. I've usually waited 20 minutes when I've gone there - but it's absolutely worth it. There are many unique and tasty menu options, and everything I've ever tried has been delicious. The service was good - but the servers are hustling, so there's really no extra chit chat with them. Definitely worth it and definitely deeeeeelicious! read more

My Wife and I were looking for a Brunch joint on the way back home along I-96 and we exited at Beck Road, drove north and came across this place. Definitely busy place. The lady who showed us to the table wasn't very personable. I ordered the corned beef HASH breakfast. Definitely not "Hash". I'd define it as corned beef CHIPS. Not very tasty. Definitely a boat-load of hash browns. My Wife asked for onions in her potatoes.....that was billed at an additional buck-twenty-five???? read more

Great food, the service was very prompt, and it's a nice little hidden location. Their menu has a lot of things to choose from, so they are sure to have something for everyone! There are quite a few dishes I'm looking forward to trying. I was surprised to see this hidden gem tucked away in to an old office building, but it gives them excellent parking and a good location. We found a great new breakfast place and are already planning our next trip there! **Note the buildings bathrooms are not owned or maintained by them, (it's pretty obvious it's the building's responsibility) don't let it turn you off, but bring your own soap, cleaner and paper or just avoid them all together if you can** read more

Went here for brunch and this place was busy! It's hard to see it from the outside since it's in the lobby of a hotel, but they have several large signs in the parking lot that help you find it. The place is clean and pleasant and has a good decor. I loved the taste of their Hollandaise sauce!! Their Omelette was tasty too. My son liked their French toast and also the sausage. I am not a fan of Oreo Pancakes but my wife likes it and she got that as a side for an additional charge instead of the regular pancakes that come with the Griddle / Skillet. I would definitely recommend this place as their service was superb too! read more

OK, I haven't been here in a while. My girlfriend wanted to go here. I have to honestly say the food was pretty good. However, Tina the waitress was extremely rude from the moment we walked in. My friend had just got back from a vacation and I wanted to hear about her trip so I told her we were just gonna have a quick cup of coffee before we ordered food. I got an eye roll. A few minutes later, she was standing there drinking coffee herself and I asked her if we could please have a little more coffee and then she proceeded to talk to her coworker said something sarcastic about us gave me another eye roll and gave us more coffee. Usually I tip between 20 and 35%. I actually left her nothing because she made me so mad. They need to work on being nicer to their customers. You are not the only breakfast place in town. Not sure I'll be back. read more

This place is always busy and it is easy to see why! I've have the Sweet & Savory Crepe, the Cinnamon Crunch French Toast, and an order of eggs and bacon with a bagel. The food is always hot and delicious - fresh out of the kitchen (you can tell it has not been sitting on a hot plate). The servers are always quick to pass by the table, but easy to flag down and incredibly kind and helpful! I love the unique menu items combined with the classics. read more

Breakfast was delicious. I ordered the country fried steak and my son ordered the meat lovers. We both thought the meals were huge and tasted perfect. We ordered a third dish to split... the red,white, and blue French toast. The blue berries were super fresh, the cream and strawberry glaze was great BUT the French toast itself was blah. I'm hoping it was a one-off thing and will be back to try again because everything else was awesome. The service was great, from the checkin to the checkout. Very friendly and fast. Pretty long line in the morning but overall short wait time. It stayed pretty busy. It was very clean, with booths and tables for small or big groups. The location is a little different... it's in the lobby of an office building. read more

I never understood what the hype was until I came here and finally tried it out myself. First of all this place is located in a office building complex, which at least meant really good parking. The waiting area is in the lobby of the office complex. We came here on a Sunday and it was incredibly busy we put our name in and probably wait a solid 20 minutes. This is the first time that I've been here that I've tried to come here twice before and had to wait way too long beyond the 20 minutes and couldn't get in. The portions in here were very big and I think that's where the excitement comes from people that come here Because your pictures were big. I wouldn't say that this is the most quality like breakfast food, but the size of plates is what attracts most of the people here. Overall, it was a decent experience you sat down to order everything happened pretty quickly. I would come back if friends and family want the ambience is bright although things seem to be old it still seem relatively clean. read more

Def would get again but I don't know if I could handle a full order. There were so many options and we will def be back to try the others read more

We arrived and had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. They won't seat you until your entire party is there. We ordered the veg hash and corned beef hash. The latter came with choice of bread too.

Lots of parking available. read more

If heaven were a brunch spot, this would be it! Located in an office building, you'd never think to check this place out. The wait was long, but service was speedy so it wasn't as long as it could have been. The menu is full of crepes, French toast, pancakes, and a number of other things. But the first few mentioned are most important, at least for those who gave a sweet tooth. The portions are large so are a great value. The food was fresh. The coffee was hot and they came around to top it off. I have 0 complaints and look forward to my next trip! read more

We've been here several times before but first review. It's in an office building but don't let that fool you. Cute decor in spite of the location. The food is good. This visit was wanting on the food. Hash browns dry, poached eggs overcooked. But in the past it was very good so chalking it up to a bad day for the cook. We had a large party. They won't sit until everyone is there, which is fair. Most of us were parking as we tried to get a table. However we continued to see couples getting seated and a few large parties leave. After over 20 minutes we had to ask to be seated. Never had this happened before. Plus we were promptly ignored. Very few drink refills and nobody was impressed with the food. Will go again to update on the food. But be aware that you're going to have to watch if there is a group. Again, this is not the usual experience we've had. Hopefully better next time. read more

Every visit for the past several years has been great! This place has THE BEST selection of crepes, Benedicts, omelettes, pancakes, and anything else you could possibly want for breakfast. The service is always on point, the food is fresh, and tasty, and their servings are huge. The salads for lunch are massive. Plan on taking home leftovers that you'll actually want to eat later. This place is truly a hidden gem. I hope that they'll think about expanding as it is located inside an office building and there is usually a little bit of wait to get in and the parking lot can get crowded as well. read more

Hello. I normally don't do reviews like this, but after my experience yesterday, I feel the need. My one star isn't for the food...it was great, as usual. However, I am not a fan of having sweat drip down my face as I am waiting for, and eating a meal. It was so unbelievably hot in the dining room, my entire visit was ruined. I wanted to get up and leave, but my wife insisted we stay. As I looked around my table, I could tell I wasn't the only diner suffering through the heat. Your poor waitstaff was obviously in a great deal of discomfort, as well. I'm not sure how you expect people to sit and eat a meal in these circumstances. We won't be back until the fall. read more
