I went there on Sunday for a nice brunch. As we walked in at exactly 11am the place was already packed except for a table for two by the window. We immeadiately joined the line for food, I didn't like that all the people stood eye level to the desserts as you wait in line, a part from that the staff was very nice and helpful. The chicken was amazing, waffles were fresh and fluffy. It's just sad that they are closing their doors on 2.28.19 so get there before then..

I was dying for some real fried chicken. Not fast food, frozen fried chicken that is greasy and tasteless. I went to LL Dent. Wedged between Five Guys and Red Lobster (which no real Long Islander would ever eat at), it's a cozy clean restaurant.The wait staff (really, one very polite young gentleman) was very accommodating. The owner comes out regularly and checks to make sure everything is good and everyone is happy with their food. It's a personal touch you rarely see anymore. Many of the customers are regulars (good sign).I had the fried chicken. It was incredible. Not greasy, perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were fresh as were the yams. The service isn't lighting fast, as real good food takes time to cook.The prices are very reasonable.I highly recommend. See you there, I'll be the guy with the chicken leg in my hand!Update: The good people who ran this place have retired and the restaurant is no more.

It felt like home. Chef Lesa and her mother Ms. Lillian were the best hosts.

It was really a great experience! The food was delicious, as usual. The wait staff was very accommodating and it was wonderful speaking with Lillian Dent one more time. Will truly miss this restaurant

simple menu. Decor is plain,they put all the emphasis on the food. All the foid is excellent. it takes a while to be served,but worth the wait. My son in law said it was the best fried chicken he has ever had. Also goid,are the hush puppues,mack & cheese,grits,green beans and pulled pork. the peach cobbler was so very good as was their chocolate chocolate cake.

Delicious food. Super nice staff! Food takes a bit to come out so don't go if you don't have a lot of time on your hands. Other than that cornbread warm fluffy, food so tasty. Love the music. Totally recommend. One of my faves
Family atmosphere. Great selection and great tasting southern food. The owners were very welcoming and personable. The chef/owner took the time out to stop by every table. LOVED IT!

Really fresh well cooked southern fare with some hints of lightness that agree with the modern palate. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and moist. Other favorites included the fried okra poppers, the Cole Slaw with hand cut cabbage and a delicious dressing without swimming in mayonnaise or dairy, collard Greens, and buttery fluffy mashed potatoes. And to top it off the absolute best sweet potato pie I have ever eaten. It was sweet but not cloying, a balance of warm spices and hints of citrus to lighten it. Absolutely delicious.

Seriously disappointing. Our meals came 1 hr 20 min after ordering (!!) AND sides were missing. The mixed drinks arrived 20 mins after the wine. And the food wasn't even that good. Skip this place.
