Have you seen Lenny?
Dinner over easy Sometimes it’s just fun to have breakfast for dinner. Everyone knows places like Denny’s, Bob Evans, Perkins, Cracker Barrel, and iHop serve breakfast all day, but if you’re looking for the “hometown” touch to your meal, try these favorites: Wolfy’s, 918 N. 14th St., Leesburg; Haystax Restaurant, 15939 U.S. Highway 441, Eustis; The Highland St. Café, 185 S. Highland St., Mount Dora; and Flapjack Johnny’s, 7432 Highway 50, Groveland. A big breakfast for dinner could be a treat for the whole family!
OK, Lenny, did you bump off five guys? And just where is Lenny anyway? In December 2016, plans were announced for a new Five Guys Burgers, along with a Chipotle restaurant and Aspen Dental, at the former site of Bojangles restaurant, 10430 U.S. Highway 441, Leesburg. A new building went up and Aspen Dental moved in, but a city spokesman has no information on the whereabouts of Five Guys or Chipotle. The city received plans, however, for Lenny’s Grill & Subs at the same site. Lenny’s subs look delicious and the place is open 24 hours—except Lenny wasn’t there despite a Facebook page stating the sub shop would open in October. So be on the lookout for Lenny. TAVA R E S
Country goodness A small restaurant’s packed parking lot often is a sign of good food, and Mary’s Kountry Kitchen, 15945 County Road 448, Tavares, attracts locals and passersby with tasty old-fashioned, American favorites. It’s worth saving room for Mary’s scrumptious desserts, including Peanut Butter Reese Lasagna or Coconut Bomb Cake. Yum! MOUNT DORA
