We've been here countless times. It's an over the counter version of their restaurant in Westbrook. I've had the fried scallop roll and fried clam strip roll. They are crisp and not greasy. When in the mood, I order their broth-style clam chowder which is wonderful. In the summer one can also order ice cream from the stand outside. Overall,... more

We have been going to Lenny and Joes since I was born. To this day, I am convinced that they have the best fried fish sandwich, coleslaw, and tarter sauce I have ever eaten- and I have had a lot (living on the coast of Maine now)! The experience you will have here is a must! more

My favorite restaurant in the world. You can keep your fancy steakhouse, give me a fishtale platter, a BYOB cold beer, my family, the carousel and there is no place I'd rather go. Their management of the volume of customers at crowded times is terrific. Lots of staff I guess. more

We are probably in the minority on this rating, since this place does an incredible business. While the service was very speedy and polite, the food was disappointing. The clam chowder had little taste or character, the lobster roll, french fries and cole slaw were boring. Best choice was the fish sandwich. I guess we'll stick with Cape Cod for... more

This place is a must if you're visiting Madison for the first time. It is what it is...fried seafood and lobster rolls served fast food style. Indoor/outdoor seating. I love their fried clam strips. Be forewarned, during peak summer months you'll be waiting b/c the place gets packed. more

I took the kids after a long day of chasing the jelly fish swimming along Hammonnassett Beach. the hot lobster roll is just wonderful, I can't imagine anything tastier! One son doesn't eat fish, so he tried the burger and was well pleased. I decided to try the steamed lobster dinner. What a disappointment! The lobster and corn tasted musty,... more

Lenny & Joe's is the best family restaurant on CT's east shore. Their fried seafood is lightly battered, and their hot lobster rolls are to die for! In addition, the owners have a social conscience -- the proceeds from their carousel at the Madison location go to various local charities. Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale and its pleasant and dedicated... more
