Lenox Grill

Nestled inside the Hotel Lenox on North Street well off the beaten Allentown path, the Lenox Grill opened in 2012 with a menu of sturdy, blue-collar favorites reinterpreted in an upscale style. Start out with one of their slate of appetizers, mostly deep-fried offerings (including some great calamari), then move on to a juicy steak, delicious pork chop, or one of a range of chicken and pasta selections for the main course. If you'd prefer something lighter, try a "Pittsburgh-style" steak sandwich garnished with coleslaw and French fries in an imitation of the Primanti Brothers chain. Thumbs up for consistent service and an unpretentious ambience that "feels like it was carved out of an old Elks lodge" (says one reviewer); thumbs down for inconsistent food quality and prices that are a tad high for what you get.
