LL Dent Serves Up Homestyle Happiness

Lillian Dent, co-owner of LL Dent, runs the southern
cuisine restaurant in Carle Place with her daughter, Leisa.

   What do you do when you work long hours every day as a culinary chef and your mother is very business savvy? You open your own restaurant! That’s when Lillian and Leisa Dent founded LL Dent Restaurant.

   Lillian and her late husband raised their children not unlike any other parents. The main difference was in their cooking. She would get down in the kitchen every morning and prepare a hot breakfast for her children. Naturally, the children became accustom to eating a big hearty breakfast. During that time, young Leisa had no doubt developed her passion for cooking and feeding others; and she went on to become a renowned chef with stellar experience. Take more than 30 years of cooking up delicious foods and a mind for business administration and marry the two.

  Lillian wrote the business plan; Leisa wrote the menu. LL Dent aims to serve rich, southern-style cuisine that is second to none for a price that won’t dent your wallets. The menu features southern fried chicken, southern fried catfish, baked macaroni and cheese, collard greens, stewed cabbage, soups, burgers, salads, and a host of other staple foods and selections. There are also vegetarian options as well.
