"Named after family matriarch Lena Mae Andrews, Lena’s is run by her children and grandchildren, serving up steam tables full of fried chicken, mac and cheese, and greens. The chicken is fried in small batches all day long and is available either by the piece — off the restaurant’s bargain-priced 99-cent menu — or as part of a plate with sides and cornbread. Call in, or get delivery via apps like Doordash and Grubhub." - Luke Tsai, Ellen Fort
