    Great service. Waitress was very attentive to our needs. She’d check back to check on us. All our selections were very good. Our appetizers and main entrees were excellent.

    I’m at Lennie’s at least once a week and the food is consistently good, served by an excellent staff. Elliot is a wonderful professional server that anticipates customers’ needs. A great place!!

    Good food and for a group(10) was great during a busy IU football weekend. Would recommend if you have teens or college kids - they live the food and it’s relatively quick w a big group. Staff and management very accommodating and friendly. Will come again for sure.

    We brought good friends with us - everything was perfect! The food was delicious, and our server was fantastic! My husband and I eat at Lennie’s often and they never disappoint. (We expected the restaurant to be a bit louder than typical bc the football team was hosting Michigan.)

    Have been dining at Lennie’s for more than 30 years and it has never disappointed. Highly recommend the bacon turkey melt, the pizzas and calzones as well as the chicken teriyaki salad- those are our go to choices.
