I was on the hunt for a unique dining spot and stumbled upon Lennie's. Honestly, I didn't even know what kind of cuisine they offered, but with a name like that and top ratings, it was a "yes from me, dawg."Finding a parking spot right out front was a pleasant surprise--cheap and convenient! The charm started before I even walked in, as the building front and the whole street had a cute, inviting vibe. Once inside, I was even more impressed. The artwork on the walls and the mellow music created a cozy, relaxed atmosphere.The menu had so many options that it was tough to decide, but I finally went with a large multi-grain crust pizza topped with goat cheese, sun-dried tomato, and pepperoni (a combo I didn't plan, but cravings don't lie). The pizza came out pretty quickly, and the crust was unique but delicious. To drink, I ordered a lavender mint tea, which was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.Rachel, my server, was attentive and ensured I had everything I needed. From the moment I arrived to the time I left, everything was seamless. No complaints whatsoever!If you're looking for a cute spot with great food, chill vibes, and excellent service, Lennie's should definitely be on your list.

Our server was very friendly and very attentive. Also very patient while we figured out what we wanted to try. My grandson had one of their huge sandwiches and he normally finishes everything that he gets but he couldn't finish that sandwich. It was just too big. I have the pesto pasta and it was delightful and my husband had meat lovers pizza. He enjoyed that we sat upstairs and it was nice to sit with the sun coming in that big window.!

Hubby and I decided to try Lennie's for the first time the other night and were surprisingly pleased with our food. We ordered the Big Fancy pizza and it was SOOO AMAZING!!! The service was great, and speedy once we ordered. The restaurant is on Kirkwood, which leaves a little difficulty for parking when the students are in town, but the food was worth the parking stress.

In a Nutshell: Good Food - Good People - Slow Service Gayle and I recently came to Lennie's as part of a family celebration for our Granddaughter's High School Graduation. I'd gladly come here again, as I thought the upstairs table, the menu, and wait staff were all solid (albeit a bit slow in order taking and delivery from the kitchen). It was a nice casual "campus" atmosphere. I had a nice Stromboli, but there was so much else to be tempted. I also appreciated the nice craft beer selection (Ruby Bloom for me). Tasty appetizers were also served, while we enjoyed getting to know Violet's boyfriend's family. Her parent's were also beaming as its not every day that your daughter is awarded Valedictorian.

Great day to be at Lennie's Brewpub in Bloomington, Indiana. They have great beer, fantastic food, and some great handcrafted sodas made by The Sodaguy! The service is wonderful. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. If you are in the area, check them out!

Here's what you need to know: the flavor and baking not as good as it used to be, and the location is not nearly as charming as next to eigenmann hall on 10th, but the Stromboli was enjoyable and the stout from BBC (Bloomington brewing company) was good. The pesto dipping sauce was enjoyable too.Service was very friendly but painfully slow.Overall, good nostalgic flashback and nice patio dining.

Lennie's is a staple in Bloomington. I've been going here since they were on 10th street. The menu is much smaller than it used to be. Love the outdoor seating area now. Park in the nearby lot across from Hartzell's ice cream.Service was great, speedy and attentive. Brought me a water refill without even asking.Food was good. I would add protein to the beet salad which felt a little light on the beets for it to be named after the ingredient (might have just been the plating). My friend got the Lennie's original roast beef sandwich and enjoyed it plus he was glad he went with the cucumber slaw. Overall, a nice menu and solid option near IU campus. This is super close to the Sample Gates if you want to check out the view and enter campus.

Great outdoor seating. Nice in the summer when they close Kirkwood and put a tent out.

Lennie's was amazing the owner was so compassionate and kind. We had just traveled 28 hrs and were wanting some good warm food in the cold and had a furry companion with us. He made an exception and let us eat inside with our dog during the current cold weather. He even took time to tell us about the history of Lennie's. The food was amazing from appetizer, pasta to pizza. Will definitely be returning. Lennies made us feel like home when we were miles away from ours. Thank you for all your kindness: hostess, waitress and owner.
