Unbeleivable. The food is awesome. The portions are hugh. YOu may think the prices are a bit higher then other places, but when you see what you get you soon forget the dollar sign. I freqent Lena's during the week, usually for a quick to-go and an occasional sit down breakfast, The food and the service are the best in the area. You don't get the whole picture until you see the place in full swing on the weekends. You have to wait a little longer on the weekends but it well worth it. I was told that the owner and her co-chef spend the whole week creating the weekend brunch specials. You won't get food like that anywhere else!! I am glad I found lena's.

Lena's does both quick take-out breakfast and substantial sit-down breakfast quite well. They have a small selection of baked goods, bottled juices and self-serve coffee to satisfy the take-out crowd.

Their sit-down menu, especially on the weekends, is substantial. Best hash I've ever had. Great homefries, and omelets that swallow up the plate. Wonderful, imaginitive specials for weekend brunch.

Prices for their basic breakfast fare are average. Brunch specials are a bit pricey, rivaling dinner entree prices ($10-$15 range for most) but you get a ton of delicious food, good service, and great coffee!
