Reviews
While not out of the way (if you’re not in a hurry to get back to the ridiculousness of Orlando) it’s not exactly on the main drag either to anyone who’s either a tourist (like us) or an urbanite (also us)
That said, I have a true love and affection for local food, local people and local color and Lena’s has all three in spades.
Before we get any further, Waze isn’t exactly your best bet naviguessing rural Florida- after all couple of delightful sojourns off the highway into the hinterlands of Central Florida, I nearly threw her phone out the window and set mine for Google Maps, destination Lena’s
Lena’s is absolutely worth the drive.
We were greeted by a delightfully large sign out front in the form of a cartoon whale and the promise of a delicious seafood meal. They weren’t lying about it either.
We walked in and two of the absolutely nicest ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting greeted us and apologized for being in the middle of cleaning the front of the restaurant. It was spotless, like the kind of clean you expect to see a twinkle of light accompanied by a “ding” noise like in a 1970’s TV commercial for a household cleaning product.
As we were picking a table, I asked one of these lovely women what kind of beer they had and she gave me a huge smile while answering “Root!” We laughed, decision made!
The food was exceptional. I have learned in the South y’all do battered and fried in a way to make a fat man weep, but this was amazing.
We had our drinks (soft) immediately and our battered happiness arrived a few minutes later.
I guess local dinner time is something like 230-3p judging by the crowd coming in (ok, it was four tables but the attention paid to every single person in the place made me
Homesick for an experience I can only describe as having been raised with my mother, grandmother and aunt in attendance every day from the time I was born until I was in first grade.
Pricing was unreasonably inexpensive and we loved the banter between the locals and the delights running the place.
I was more than a little amused that as a truck pulled in that one of our ladies moved to a vantage point where she could see the truck’s occupants and confirmed that they were indeed coming to eat rather than “just parking.”
I’ve no idea how this beautiful gem came to flower here, but I hope I manage to get down here again simply so I can visit Lena’s again.
If you’re in the area, you must stop here.
If you’re in Orlando and you’re tired of the plastic immaturity of the resorts, you owe it to yourself to venture north.
And if you’re from one of the resorts and think HGV needs to build here, I’ll personally drag you into the water at the springs and leave you for the gators. This is a lovely trip to a place that we can only visit in our memories and I’m so glad we went.
