Lenny's Clam Bar

Been going there since I was a kid I love it

First and last time i went there. The food was horrible.

Clams uggg terrible

Delicious Italian and seafood.

The food was great no complaints my only complaint is the big manager with long hair I didn’t get her name but she’s completely unprofessional on my way leaving the restaurant Sunday night I overhear her talking about her staff . And laughing about it I looked for the owner but couldn’t find him unfortunately because no way would he let that level of unprofessionalism in his restaurant and to his employees

Terrific fried calamari

Great spot for good seafood and italian

reviews explains themselves, the quality of some of the food is horrible especially in his videos

I ordered a combination of scallops,calamari, and shrimp fried with linguini in lennies sweet tomato sauce. They forgot to give me the linguini but gave me the tomato sauce.
I had ordered a strawberry daiquiri, which was very good.

I ordered a clams casino appetizer, which was overcooked and rubbery.

The dinner the calamari was too rubbery to eat. I complained about the calamari but complimented the scallops and shrimp.
My dish was taken, and finally the pasta was brought with a few addl shrimp.

My son ordered the rack of ribs, which was a large portion and well made. The service was acceptable. My sisters in law My four sister's in laws ordered fish and seafood. One had scallops that were good. Three had fish filets, which were not hot - but tepid with oreganato but with no flavor. All three had yellow rice, which had no flavor whatsoever.

The desserts were competent: Better than the food! My wife ordered a cannoli in which the filling was very fresh and good. i had a tartufo of expresso ice cream served with chocolate syrup, which was really meant for two! An oreo sunday was had by my son which was large. A chocolate cake (very good) chocolate and the cheesecake was okay. The restaurant began to fill up and was very noisy.
Noisey is when everyone has to shout to be understood and near headache levels. It was our 40th wedding anniversary, and we were hoping not to have to return items or be disappointed. Overall, my reaction is that the food was competent aside from rubbery calamari. We dined in. They did have a parking lot, which is a boon. Unfortunately the price paid aside from the desserts was not worth it. Next time I'll get the ribs!
Since there is no outside and the place has no sound baffles it gets very noisy when it fills up. I'm very disappointed with the lack of care of the rubbery calamari and no serving of pasta although my wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary.
I see the mgr has responded to my review and I do wish them well.
But a clam bar restaurant that serves "tepid (cold fish) and rubbery calamari and clams and forgets to give a pasta side that goes with the ordered dish may need a simpler menu....

Possibly start serving pizza again as he family did.

I recently stayed at the Hyatt hotel at the Aqueduct racetrack near Cross Bay Blvd. I had to try Lenny's.....it was right close by. I was very pleasantly surprised by the clam and spaghetti dinner. It was really delicious. Cooked to perfection. The bread was perfect too. It was a memorable meal. I highly recommend the place. The service was great too.

Ordered take out on a number of occasions previously (Calamari Calabrese). Decided to order the fried scallops/shrimp. Tiny ass shrimp, and the scallops were woefully overcooked. Looks like you're coasting on your reputation--like a lot of places that have been around forever and have since fallen off...

Bad customer service from the time I walked in no one knowledge me, just like at me, waiter not friendly at all, I will never return again, the food was excellent

The food is delicious!!! staff is very attentive!!! Drinks is ok. I gave one star less because the sangria sucked and then I had another drink and it sucked. Love, the fact that they have teenagers as the servers. It Felt like my son could work here because his very family oriented. To me it feels like giving back to the community and keeping these young boys off the streets. never paid mind about the prices because the food is awesome. I’m a firm believer you pay for what you get.
