Lenny's At Hawkes Plaza - Westbrook

First visit. Great food but even better people. The regulars are so welcoming. The staff are super friendly. The live music was excellent. Couldn't have had a better time. Will be back. And when you go ask for Vidalia

Creative cuisine in a fun environment. Love the Sunday brunch, mimosas live music. Doesn't look like much driving by but stop in-you'll be glad you did.

As soon as I stepped through the door I knew this was my kinda joint. The carpet was so smooth, I knew I wouldn't be subjected to one of those trip into waitress embarrassments which is all too common with the shag stuff used almost everywhere else. Ok, the pile length is perfect, grippy, yet could be slippy (if you needed to turtle yourself around at the end of the evening). The doorknobs throughout Lenny's are whisper quiet. I didn't once get concerned about quick door closing and a fright which inevitably ends up in ketchup on my khakis. Grade A on the doorknob and jam quality. To top it off, you get a view into the kitchen and I can confidently say you needn't worry about their wax bean supply! The music and food was top notch too.

I really wanted to like this place, However, my experience was beyond subpar. However, let's start off with any positives. First off it is located on a main road which makes it super easy to find, However, it can be a pain to get out of depending on which way you are going. The Hawkes signs out front is legendary for the area and certainly an eye grabber. It's a dirt parking lot so fair warning, Nothing wrong with that but always good to have a heads up. They do have live music and I have gotten to talk to the band off and on at a few places they perform at. It can be a lot of fun with live music. When the staff were around they were nice enough however extremely inattentive along with just the feeling of they had better things to do than serve anyone. The drinks looked pretty however unless you have no taste buds and an iron-clad stomach I do not recommend them. If they have bottles just get that. The food was nothing fancy however nothing horrible either. There is an upstairs to the restaurant but it is a private residence or so I was told. Overall I cannot say I recommend the place. However, if you want live music and a bottle of beer stop in and be sure to pay for the drink when it comes as it took me an hr to get my bill. Unfortunately, if you want to find a new haunt or fun local place I cannot recommend coming here.

Eating was amazing and the personal was incredibly nice! will be definitiw back
