Food Scene

The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is unique. Each party eats in their own room and each room is decorated differently! When you go, get the Pulled Pork over Sweet Potato Fries appetizer (amazing). The appetizers are large enough for two, or you can make them your main course. We recommend a reservation.

Leo's is great for family dining. The bread is delicious, the main courses are large, and the cost is reasonable. They are always busy...no reservation needed.
