I don,t kjnow who CMK1126 and BEARNOT are, but they obviously had a bad day, and needed someone to blame it on. They chose Lankfords. I think the numbers, and my taste buds, speak for themselves.45 out of 50 reviews, 5 star, 3 reviews, 4 star, only 2 give 1 star. Guess who. I've been a patron of Lankfords for 15 years and have yet to be dissapointed with the fare or the service. Sure, there have been times when the wait for service might have seemed a bit long, but that speaks to the fact that, at lunch time, all the tables, inside and out are packed with longtime regulars who don't mind waiting to get a truely memorable, and satisfying, meal. A dump? I don't think so. Old, for sure. The building has been at the corner of Dennis and Genesee since 1937, and was a grocery store before Eydie turned it into a Cafe and Ice House (More Cafe than Ice House, but you can have a beer with your lunch. Only long necks, though, which is the choice of true Texans). It might look out of place surrounded by new Townhomes that have sprung up in the last few years, but it's refreshing to see this anachronism of the 4th ward, that hasn't yet been swept away by Urban Renewal. Long live Lankfords, and Eydie, the proprietess, who makes your day a little brighter when you stop in for a truely remarkable, old fashioned, Hamburger .
Pros: Friendly management, attentive staff, reasonably priced
