3.5 to 4 stars This is a little restaurant located on a busy road in a country setting. The parking lot was full when we arrived, but we found other parking on the side of the building. It's a small restaurant with a hometown feel - tables inside and a larger table in a side room. It's counter ordering with a large diverse menu. Kids menu items were great including Mac n cheese and chicken strips and fries. All came with a drink. Main entrees included hot items (shrimp & grits, meatloaf), salads, sandwiches and lots of vegetarian items. They also have a dessert area with large cookies, pies, etc. Our family ordered the kids chicken tenders, chicken tender wrap, BLT and turkey club sandwiches with fries. We also tried the fried okra. The fries were delicious and tasted homemade - the sandwiches were good. My sandwich was missing mayo which I didn't notice until after I was done eating. We enjoyed the food but didn't find anything super standout. read more

Breakfast was good. You order at the front then sit down and they will bring the food out to you. I ordered the waffle and it was a good size and yummy. The inside of the restaurant was cute! read more

Good food and good service. We have been here a few times now and the food has been delicious and the service has been great. I love the chicken and waffles, but the burger for the weekend brunch is also absolutely perfection. The fries are seasoned so well. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend you are in the area. read more

Not only was the food delicious and the service excellent, but they treat you like family. When they heard my son was into music they came out and played a song for him and made his day. We are moving to the area and without meaning to sound dramatic, our lunch at Uncle Lenny's helped confirm we are making the right choice. Can't wait to live close enough to be a regular ! read more

Great spot and pretty busy around lunchtime when we went. It's not terribly large but there is good seating available. Service is great, you order at the counter then find a seat. I went with the Chicken salad sandwich, very tasty and plenty filling. Afterwards we went for one of those jumbo cookies for dessert. Worth the splurge! Perfect spot to grab lunch with a friend! read more

A must-visit spot in Fairview, Tennessee for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! What I love about this place: * The people are genuinely friendly, and the service is consistently great. * The food has well-rounded, bold flavors that easily compete with bigger restaurants--and honestly, it's often even better. * Favorite go-to dishes include the breakfast burrito, breakfast tacos, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, and the hamburger. I keep trying to order something new, but the burger is just that good. The French fries are seasoned with flavorful spices, so they're not just plain fries--love them. * Parking can be a little tight, but even during busy times I've always been able to find a spot. Love this place and so glad it's in Fairview. I'll definitely be back! read more

I love Uncle Lenny's! I have been for lunch and breakfast. The food is great! The service is fantastic! I love the atmosphere. It is warm and cozy like my Grandmas! We bought tickets for one of the music nights in December and are bringing friends! If we lived in Fairview we would be regulars for sure! read more

The food needs to be to improve, taste quality and variety , most people say there's nothing else around so they go but for me to spend my money and really want to go back quality and taste is very important to me . The People are very friendly and it is a cute atmosphere. read more

Really loved the food during opening... Went the other day around 5 and they were already out of nearly everything even though it was dead inside. Found out they no longer offer the chicken tenders plate and tried getting 3 different orders before finding one they weren't out of. That should have been sign to turn around but we decided to order and sit down. After spending over $70 on 2 kids meals and 2 basic adult meals, we decided we would never come back. The food was okay at best but certainly not worth the price. Our daughter did not like the Mac and cheese at all and ended up leaving the whole bowl untouched. The fries were incredibly soggy and sweet (they're sprinkled with sugar), and my wrap had maybe 1 dry piece of tender in it. It's a bummer the quality went downhill bc we were really excited about this place! read more

I've heard great things about Uncle Lenny's so I stopped in here for lunch. I ordered the meat and two which was the Meatloaf, Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes with a corn muffin. It wasn't very busy for lunch so the food came out rather quickly. Are we reheating? Or just not heating all? Cold mashed potatoes, lukewarm warm green beans and dry meatloaf. The only thing that was decent was cornbread muffin . At nearly $20, you'd expect better..guess not. read more

We loved this cute little restaurant! We had the E2 burger & the pierogi sausage platter. The owner was great & made us feel so welcome. We even got to see Buddy the dog! We will definitely be back. read more

Love Uncle Lenny's! The food is delicious and made from scratch. All the staff are so warm and welcoming. We really enjoy the musical entertainment. A local treasure!! read more

What amazing food and service. It's a small cafe style restaurant that just oozes quaint. Happened to take a chance because The Lovelace Cafe had a 2 hour wait!!! We were seated wherever we wanted to sit. I had the cheeseburger with bacon, and my wife did the pierogi plate and a cup of chicken dumpling soup. The food was amazing!! We even got to talk to I think the manager there. She was so friendly, even giving us a cookie to go after finding out we were visiting for our anniversary. Bless this place, it's a real diamond in the rough out there. read more

Amazing food, amazing service and unbeatable hospitality!!! Highly recommend if you're in town :) & don't leave without getting some dessert (CARROT CAKE!) read more

I had the pleasure of eating breakfast at Uncle Lenny's yesterday. The food was amazing: fresh eggs, homemade bread, and real breakfast potatoes made from baked potatoes. It was delicious. The atmosphere was also wonderful & the staff was incredibly friendly & attentive. Although the restaurant is a half hour from my home, it was well worth the drive. I will definitely return soon for another delicious meal. I heard they have live music on certain evenings & look forward to meeting friends there for an evening of entertainment & dining! read more

Eureka!!! This is the whole package. Quaint, family owned, clean, friendly staff, and...wait for it...FANTASTIC FOOD! Best biscuits and gravy I've had at a restaurant in ages. And yes, better than Loveless. That's right, I said it. The sausage was flavorful and cooked properly, the eggs were perfect, the potatoes were good, and the sweet treats were the perfect finish. Ignore the negativity from the cheap seats who don't understand the restaurant industry or what it's like when a new restaurant opens. Don't hesitate, go get you some grub! Uncle Le is perfect read more

I did get a call from Eddie after making the review. He offered to refund my meal. The call and several text messages I got from Eddie in the end made it worse. I do appreciate that I got call and refund so I'll mention here that I did get that. read more

This quaint cafe has a super friendly staff. Eddie came by to introduce himself and we got to know him as he explained the eclectic menu. Everything we ordered (Pierogies, burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, Mac n cheese) was delicious. We took home their famous carrot cake for dessert. I can't wait to be back when I'm in the area. read more

We went to this place before it became uncle Lenny's, and we were very disappointed with the service and the state of the place. This place is 100% different and quite enjoyable! read more

Sorry but today's experience was not as favorable as last week. First, I will say that whatever was happening in the kitchen the direct customer staff remained calm and friendly. But the customers were getting agitated. One lady was talking to everyone that came in about the size of the chairs and that she wasn't offered a military discount. She came in right behind us and received her order as we were about to finish our meal. She talks. When we first walked in we were told to sit down in the chairs and wait to be called up to the cashier to give our order. "We are not taking orders at the moment." So we sat down until we were called on to give our order. We gave our order, paid and found a seat. We then waited 40 minutes for our food. When we received our order this is how it went......my hot chicken hoagie had nothing on it except the chicken and bread?, I did not receive my side order of macaroni and cheese and my husband did not receive his cherry cheesecake. It took an additional 15 minutes to get these items once we made it known that they were missing. Again, the staff was friendly but......... What happened? A lady and her daughter came down and sat down next to us and said that it was their first time and asked how it was. Yes, we told them that the food is good but they may be waiting a while because the kitchen staff may be having some issues. "Be patient and you will enjoy your food." read more

Went in to Uncle Lenny's for the first time yesterday. The food was good don't get me wrong but it was the service and the employees that gave me the reason for this 2 star review. I had jus been about halfway into eating my food when by the kitchen /service door I see a boy- who I assume to be a worker there, about 6'3"- 6'4", blonde with glasses. He had brought out a wet plate with his dish rag over his shoulder and the plate was dripping water all over the floor. I observed him walk over to a waiter and kind of limply hit his fellow employee over the head with this sopping wet rag. In doing so, he soaked not only his coworker but also a table nearby which had a family trying to enjoy their meal. It was just very odd and childish behavior that I wasn't very fond of to be in such a calm and somber restaurant. For that reason I'm giving this review 2 stars. Food was good though! read more

Highly recommend! Easy to find. Free convenient parking. Friendly atmosphere. But the FOOD WAS AMAZING!! We had lunch. Took home some of their homemade chicken noodle soup. The best!! Definitely coming back to try their breakfast! read more

Service and atmosphere is great. Not much of a selection of menu items for dinner. I would love to see a more robust menu with table service. That's what we need in Fairview. read more

We have come to eat here at least five to six times, as we live locally. There seems to be a common theme here where the staff is constantly APOLOGIZING for the wait. Every time we come here, we wait for over 30+ minutes to get our food and when the food arrives it's' either cold or lukewarm - this has happened every time. Today, was the final straw as we will no longer be patronizing the restaurant. We like the fact that the restaurant is local and there is nothing better than supporting your local business, but at some point, you need to draw the line and today was it. I will admit that the staff is extremely friendly! read more

We loved it! First time here the owner took our order and shared her love of opening a new restaurant for Fairview. Our meal was just simply delicious. We had the meatloaf with sides and rice with chickpeas Nice and warm for a cold cold day. Great ambiance. Very cozy. read more

Service was great. Food was amazing. Owners came out to meet us. Highly recommend this place.

We arrived on Friday night just before closing time (8 p.m.) When asked if it was too late, we were welcomed with a smile. We ordered BBQ sandwich & cheese-potato perogies. Everthing was made fresh & delicious. We were the only customers by that time, but the owners treated us with respect & warmth. We will returm to Uncle Lenny's! read more

What a find right here in Fairview! Come out and support them, the avocado toast was delicious. Wonderful ambiance and great service. Don't forget the carrot cake or coconut cake-best I've ever eaten! read more

My five star rating is by comparison to other local alternatives. I have only had breakfasts so far, but the food is fresh, well prepared, and just a cut above the competition. As examples, our waffles had generous fresh fruit, the buttermilk pancakes were perfect, and there was a maple syrup option. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant has lots of windows for a natural bright ambience. My one suggestion would be to keep the coffee a bit hotter, but overall Uncle Lenny's is a very pleasant experience. read more
