This is an all you can eat buffet under $10 for a variety of NY style pizzas, several soups and salad bar. Blue collar factory workers, school sports teams, seniors and crying babies seem to pack this pizza parlor every night. On Wed. 4/12/'17 we went in at 7:30 P.M. to the packed house of chaos. The pizzas were a grease lovers delight (not my style). The soups were hot and fresh tasting. The salad bar was as I've found it in the past - very good. They really pay attention to the salad bar here. An attendant is constantly cleaning the areas around the food and the floor. Every few minutes fresh items are put on the salad bar.This is not the place for quiet dining but rather a place where folks of all ages go to unwind and fill up on pizza. Watch out though - some of their pizzas are very spicy.Spaghetti is very spicy and good.

I've been here three times, so far, and each visit was outstanding! The atmosphere is comfortable; the waitstaff is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Selections always arrive exactly as ordered. Fettuccine Alfredo is my favorite and the girlfriend likes the Fried Mushroom appetizer. In my opinion, the items are priced slightly above mid-range; however, you get EXACTLY what you pay for. Two entrees with one appetizer and two iced teas averaged around $33.00 in Oct-Nov 2016. They definitely have many lower-priced items and some are higher. Their menu has anything you could imagine from an Italian restaurant. PS: I was told by a waitress that business was bad in the past but that new management had taken over. Because I'm new to this area, I did not personally visit in the past, but whoever is in charge now, definitely knows how to run a business! I'm looking forward to my next visit and recommend this restaurant to everyone, so give them a try or perhaps try them again... and again! Delicious!
4. Meedo's Family Restaurant
Reviewed By Chowa-Rides-Again
Meedos is a local favorite, especially for families, senior citizens, and local business workers. Lunch seems to be a big hit, and why not their lunch special of $5.95 can't be beat. Large, open restaurant with lots of seating. A large menu with a variety from healthy (e.g grilled chicken salad or veggie pizza) to very yummy and cheesy pasta dishes. We enjoyed the lasagna, the spaghetti and ravioli lunch specials. The dinner rolls were delicious, both buttery and garlicky. Our waitress was good, she was attentive checking on us several times and refilling our drink glasses continually. However, we have had the experience of waiting by the front door to pay our bill with no one in sight for several minutes. The reasonable prices, menu options and decent food make this a good alternative to other restaurants in Lenore
