Lenny's Clam Bar is a true gem. The place is warm, welcoming, and full of old-school charm. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family. The food? Unreal. The lasagna was hands-down the best I've ever had. It was perfectly layered, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The calamari was light, crispy, and fresh, and the homemade cannoli was unforgettable and the shell had that perfect crunch, and the filling was rich, velvety, and just sweet enough. Every dessert we tried was next-level, you can taste the love in every bite. It's the kind of place that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. Don't miss this spot.

First time here and the food was very delicious. On the house bruschetta was excellent. An order of chicken Parmesan and penne alla vodka was enough to feed 3 people. Cocktails were a little expensive ($18 for an apple martini). I would come back whenever I’m in the area.

My husband and the kids decided to go to dinner spontaneously, couldn't figure out where exactly we wanted to go. We're always in LI, so we figured we'd try something different. Ended up here and let's just say, this will be our new go to spot! Delicious food, friendly staff, and great drinks!

Lenny's Clam Bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The waiter is always friendly and attentive, adding to the pleasant dining experience. The food is fantastic, with fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I highly recommend trying the fried calamari, pastas, and baked clams—they're all delicious. The Lenny's special is a standout dish that you simply must try. To top it off, the prices are incredibly reasonable. Plus, the outside seating make dining here even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The 50 year anniversary. The baked clams are signature at this place. There is seating on the outside when weather is permitted. They have their own parking lot and there’s plenty of parking on Cross Bay Boulevard if needed. They have a party room with ocean view that holds approximately 40 people.There are smaller parties rooms as well. A Full bar and you have the option to eat at the bar.

Went in on a Wednesday night in early October without a reservation and was seated right away. Servers were attentive and explained things. They bring you bruschetta and a bread basket complimentary first up. Serving sizes are generous! We ordered the fried shrimp and calamari combination and it was awesome! The sweet marinara sauce was surprising good with tue calamari! We ordered the Lenny’s special and the linguine with clams in White Sauce. The lobster on the Lenny’s special was a small piece of meat but was so good. We switched out the side of pasta on Lenny’s special for cooked vegetables and it was great, it also came with 2 a grimy and 2 baked clams so it’s the perfect taster of a few things. Perfect amount for the two of us! We ordered the red sangria pitcher as well. Total was $140 included tax and tip. Highly recommend!

Hands down the beat chicken I have ever had. I order the vodka sauce and pasta and it was delicious. The service was great And the environment was very appealing. A buddy paid the check so I don't know about the price. The portion sizes were pretty big. Everyone at the table walked away with a box of leftovers. The chicken was just as good the next day if your wondering!

While deciding where to go for lunch my friend’s wife called & mentioned that there were some new restaurants on cross bay Blvd so we decided to take a drive. Then ended up at this classic spot which celebrated its 50th year in business last year. (They still had the signs up) Neither of us had been to in years. Upon entering they have pictures of various celebrities who have dined there in the past. We were shown to our table by a polite hostess. I ordered the lump crab cakes, which weren’t what I had in other restaurants. They were more like your typical fried crab cake except larger. They were ok but I felt as though they were missing something. My friend went with the lobster bisque which he said was great. For our mains I went with the linguine with clams which was good & he went with the shrimp & calamari which unfortunately he was less than happy with. He skipped dessert but I couldn’t resist trying the crème brûlée doughnut. It is extremely delicious however incredibly sweet. If your sweet tooth is at least level 9 you’ll probably find it sickeningly sweet. They have a small bar area & it looked as though there were more sections to the restaurant for busier times of day. 50 years in business they must be doing something right.

This restaurant is a staple that celebrated their 50 year anniversary in 2024. I was in the area and decided to try it and was glad I did. We started off with fried zucchini which were sliced thick breaded and fried, served with tomato sauce on the side. They were very tasty. We also had the fried calamari and shrimp combo also served with side choice of spicy, medium or mild sauce and the baby back ribs which came with choice of potato, baked mashed or French fries. Everything was delicious. The ribs were fall off the bone juicy and not greasy or fatty and the fried seafood was crunchy but tender. The service was very good. Our waiter and the busboys were attentive as well as courteous. The decor was a little dated and the ceiling tiles which are yellowed from age need to be refreshed. I would revisit this restaurant if I was in the area again.

We decided to check out this restaurant. The room facing the water is only for banquets, so they put us in a back room. We felt like in a box, it was hot, we asked for more air conditioning, but got no impro. The service was great, the food was just ok. I've tried much better Italian food. It's pricey. So we felt like paying the money for ok food and no view wasn't worth it.

First of all, let me see you and I’m only giving you three stars. I do absolutely love this place. But that being said the fact that they just charged me seven dollars for extra tartar sauce when I just ordered a bunch of fish dishes is out of control. I’ve been coming here for years and never once have I been charged for sauce. I get it. You gotta charge a little bit no problem, but $7 And to boot you added tax!!! . I’m sorry that’s just greedy. That alone just makes me not wanna come here anymore

Lenny's is ok. The food is not anything special to me. The drinks are good, service is good and the ambiance is nice.

I would only eat here if I had an eating disorder and wanted to lose weight bc the food made me sick to my stomach. The soup was bad, the sauce is watery and the staff is rude. I hate this place.
