“We used Lenoxburg Catering for our wedding, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning, Angela was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to customize our menu exactly the way we wanted and communicated with us every step of the way. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the entire process stress-free—I felt like I had known her forever! The food was phenomenal. We served smoked brisket, creamy Tuscan chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans, salad, and rolls. Everything was beautifully presented, served hot, and tasted incredible. Many of our guests went back for seconds, and we received countless compliments throughout the evening. In fact, our guests couldn't stop talking about the food for days after the wedding! We had so many people ask who we used for catering, and several even contacted us afterward wanting to know how they could get more of Lenoxburg's food. Angela, Susan, and the entire Lenoxburg team truly went above and beyond. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication made our special day seamless and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional food and service. Thank you so much, Angela and Susan, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable! - The Conleys!”
“This place is locally family owned. They have good hot and ready food, and a full menu of food you can call and order ahead of time. All kinds of hommade desserts, all kinds of deli stuff. Beer and milk. The fried chicken and potato wedges are great! The staff is always friendly, and I really appreciate that. I have bought gas, kerosene, and propane here before. But never diesel fuel. Not many family owned stores like this around anymore and I really appreciate them. And the fact they carry kerosene is great. I would definitely recommend Clingers to anyone.”
“This place is awesome the community their keeps on growing because the people are so nice and generous they help you out anytime they need the soft serve is really good and them cheese fries ??”
“Pharmacy staff is extremely friendly and helpful, also always very quick filling prescriptions. Store manager and front-end staff are the same, very friendly and helpful. Store manager is wonderful, made a recent return I had a breeze and very pleasant experience; I'd say the easiest time I've had with a return to a retail store, ever.”
