Visited Oakland from Cincinnati. Was looking for a soul food restaurant and chose Lena’s based on the reviews. OMG! My family and I have not had soul food like this in awhile. From the blackened catfish, mac and cheese, green, cabbage, yams, peach cobbler, Chicken; yes we tried it all! It was AMAZING! Fast and friendly service. FANTASTIC FOOD.

I have been going to Lena for years and it’s getting worse every time I go..This time the Black Eyed Peas taste like dirt no seasoning AT ALL.. The gravy was package gravy it taste like KFC Boston market gravy the corn bread tasted like as if it was frozen and then reheated and the bake fish where do I begin we might as well call the boil because that’s what it taste like.. I am super disappointed

I went to Lena’s on Sunday and the food was amazing!!!! I didn’t have any complaints. The yams were PERFECT! They were the best yams I’ve had in a long time. The mac n cheese was to die for. I had a side of cabbage that was good too. The cornbread taste like my grandma’s cornbread. The sweet potato pie was everything!!! I will definitely be back this Sunday. The customer service was amazing too. Shout out to Jamiela who I spoke with on the phone while trying to catch them before they close during my 45 minute commute. They were closing but was waiting for my arrival. I definitely recommend this place!

This food is prepared and cooked in bulk quantities. Seasoned and flavored to appease the general public, I.e. patrons of Lena's. They are not a restaurant that has individual cooks and chefs preparing individual plates. Staff, however does wish you a happy eating experience and would hope that you can find a dish or two from they're diverse menu that is pleasing to your palate.Creole, Mulatto like me, white-Caucasian, Hispanic, Cuban, Puerto Rican, African. Ery body love it. You can get a Taste

The menu can be found on Google. Search the restaurant & go to menu. The smothered pork chops are good. They have fried fish, prawns, greens, hush puppies, etc. Good soul food.
