    Mediterranean Omelette and corned beef hash
    Carrie G.

    We searched for a good place to eat after our shopping trip to Duluth Trading, and were delighted with Lena's Kitchen! It was small and cozy feeling, and service was attentive, warm and friendly. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite dishes, and love when a menu offers many Benedict choices. I went with the Florentine, and it did not disappoint. My husband had the Mediterranean omelette (which of course I tasted)... very tasty! We subbed our hash browns for a corned beef hash and pancakes, both delicious! The potatoes in the hash were nice and crispy, and loved the fluffy pancakes. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area!

    This place is in an office building. It's is very unique. They have a multitude of breakfast options and portions are large. Coffee was served right when we sat down and was good, not watered down. Our waitress came right up too. If you like French toast there are about 15 options with jazzy to berries or just cinnamon and sugar. Omelet options are plentiful as well. It is open until 3. Excellent taste for all the food! This is hidden gem. Definitely will come back.

    I love Lena's omelets. I frequently get their "Southern Omelet" smothered in their tasty sausage gravy. The portions on all their menu items are always huge and we always end up getting a "to go" container to savor their awesome food one more time at home. Definitely recommend Lena's for breakfast or lunch. They're open for breakfast and lunch until 2pm on Sundays, too!

    The menu is what drew us in on our road trip north (thank you, Yelp!) This menu is impressive - so many good choices! We chose the Southern Benedict and the most popular one the waitress recommended, Benny Florentine with a side of Hash. Great big portions enough to share, fantastic kind service and fresh ingredients.

    A Great Spot for a Hearty Breakfast My family discovered Lena's Kitchen this past weekend and we knew it would be good by the size of the crowd waiting in the large lobby. Luckily, the wait wasn't too bad--about 25 minutes, which is very reasonable for a popular spot on a Sunday morning. The food lived up to the hype. It's not a fancy place, but they serve solid, satisfying breakfast dishes at decent prices. Portions were huge--enough to take some home for leftovers. The Reuben was excellent, packed with a generous amount of corned beef, and the Southern omelette was delicious as well. Service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd return to!

    We came to this unique little restaurant, built into the side of an office space and it was adorable! The service was so prompt and patient as my mom ordered herself (English is her second language). The food was generously portioned. One star off because my Greek omelet breakfast desperately needed salt but when trying everyone else's dishes, Philly Benedict with a side crepe and veggie omelet, they were spectacular. Would 100% come back to try this place again.

    Cute, warm place for breakfast or lunch.

    Food is wonderful, very unique and creative menu items. , Friendly servers, always happy and smiling. This place is very close to Providence Hospital. Highly recommend

    My server Marlene was amazing! She greeted us with such a big smile and took care of me and my friends so well. She gave us good recommendations and made sure our glasses were always full. I would definitely come back and request her.

    Yelp came through again! We picked a winner based on Yelpers' reviews!! Food - fantastic Service - unbeatable Ambience - good They sure pack this place. We understand why the tables are so close together. It's a small space, and there's a fairly high demand for breakfast/brunch. We lucked out and got seated in a booth. There's seating outside the restaurant for guests waiting to be called on. It's a hidden gem for sure and you have to know about this place to dine here. We saw a few people leave after learning that the entire party must be present in order to be seated. We're accustomed to this rule and don't mind it. It's truly understandable considering the popularity of this place; however, the sign could be more presentable. The food? I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Suffice it to say, our bellies were quite happy. My husband could not stop raving about his choice. I had Nutella Lovers Pancakes (with bananas and strawberries) and he had Meat Lovers Griddle. Be warned: there's an extra charge for credit card payments. I think it ended up to be about $1 extra for us. Check in with Yelp and you get a 10% discount. We will be back!

    Cranberry Apple omelette - has cranberries, apples, bacon and goat cheese
    Tracy S.

    Though she may be little, she is mighty! Prepare for a wait for a breakfast table here. It doesn't have enough tables to support its weekend breakfast crowd - mostly because the food is so delicious and the service so good, it's packed. I've usually waited 20 minutes when I've gone there - but it's absolutely worth it. There are many unique and tasty menu options, and everything I've ever tried has been delicious. The service was good - but the servers are hustling, so there's really no extra chit chat with them. Definitely worth it and definitely deeeeeelicious!

The generous amount of complementary ingredients included spinach, sweet red peppers, bacon and was topped with generous slices of fresh avocado's. Nice! Probably the only other thing I would have added if at all was some cheese inside the omellet which was an option if desired. Definately a superior omelet that is in the top tier of what is offered in this area. The omelet also came with a side of seasoned home fries which was equally as tasty in its own right where the seasoning really added a flavor pop to the potato's. Relative to facility and staff, the restaurant is clean and bright with basic decor where they let the food do the talking here. The staff is extremely friendly and good with kids where out large party included 8 unruly and slightly wild grandkids (: Inspite of my grandkids best efforts to turn the place upside down these folks were friendly and verrrry understanding throughout and I give them high marks for that. Overall if you are looking for a top tier breakfast place and you are in the Milford area than this is definately a business to check out. This may have been my first visit here but it definately will not be my last.

A good 20-25 tables, not great for huge groups, but a good size no doubt. This place was packed, though that should have been expected on a Sunday morning. SERVICE - our server was friendly and attentive. We had a baby dining with us and she seemed to take a shining to the little one - always a nice touch. MENU - this place is only open until 2-3pm, so they primarily focus on breakfast items and I would say lighter lunch fare such as salads and sandwiches. The breakfast selection was pretty diverse though, including a number of breakfast bowls, benedicts and omelettes to choose from. FOOD - My wife got the salmon benedict, while I opted to try their Breton Bay Poutine which was short ribs with scrambled eggs, cheese, cripsy onions and gravy over fries. We also tried the creme brulee french toast, which we shared with the table. My wife liked her benedict and my poutine was good, though I feel like the description of the item was better than the execution. It was still good, though I think my expectations may have been too high on this one. The creme brulee french toast was not at all what I imagined. It seemed somewhat like a slice of tres leches cake, and was about as big as a slice. I would not get that again. OVERALL - good not great. I can appreciate that this place had some creative options while not breaking the bank. Good if you're in the area already, though I'm not sure I'd make a special trip out to this place.

So, I decided to drive all the way out here because I have learned that trying to satisfy a craving with something different than what I really want doesn't work. It was an odd time -- about 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon -- when I arrived. The place is small, but it is very cheerfully decorated. The server was very friendly and helpful. He brought a basket of homemade chips and salsa as I sat down. After looking at all the options, I decided to be boring and I got the taco salad. It was very good, but as I was eating, I remembered seeing fried ice cream on their menu. I asked if they had it & he said absolutely. So, I stopped eating my entree & took it (and the chips) home and had the fried ice cream. It was SOOO worth it. they really did lightly batter the ice cream and fry it. (Unlike many place that don't actually do that.) It was served in a slightly sweet, lightly cinnamoned tortilla and topped with some chocolate sauce, whipped cream and maraschino cherries. If I lived closer & it hadn't been so hot outside, I may have ordered another one to take home!
