Very surprised with the first visit. The fried chicken was excellent and surprisingly a flavor profile I never had before. The shrimp roll was good too. Our table of 6 devoured their meals. Will visit when I return again into two weeks! More...

This place was fantastic!!! I love how they bring out your water in a wine bottle for your table...very nice touch! I had a white wine spritzer. ..very light and refreshing. I had fried clam wraps-EXCELLENT!!!!! As my side I got scallop potatoes can I just say they are the best I’ve ever eaten...better than my own!!!!! Great service...cute place!!! My husband loved his dish. He got mixed fried seafood and loved it. The pea salad was very good. We will definitely go back and tell our friends about it! More...

My guests loved their seafood dishes which were peel and eat shrimp and the fried oyster plate. I thought the fried chicken sandwich was a bit above average, minus the (asian I think) cucumber salad on the side which was a total mismatch.
I’d make the drive there anytime for the fried Brussels Sprouts!!!
Atmosphere was a 11 out of 10 and the waitress couldn’t have been friendlier. The entire staff was, incidentally, very easy on the eyes which indicated to me that the management/ownership placed a high priority on making good impressions!

Started out with a dozen char grilled oysters; delicious and only lightly cooked. We all then chowed down on fried shrimp, fish and oysters and shared sides of their brussel sprouts and potatoes. Service was great. Leon’s knocked it out of the park. More...

Our party of four had the grilled oysters and the peel & eats as an appetizer. For dinner we all had the two piece chicken with sides of hush puppies, scalloped potatoes and the brussels sprouts. All of the food was awesome, as usual and the service was outstanding. Leon's continues to be one of our favorites. More...

Simply a great experience. Staff was awesome, polite, attentive, made spot-on recommendations. Which includes fried chicken sandwich. Combination of batter, pickles and slaw make it the best. Hushpuppie so good it should be illegal. Scalloped potatoes. So good, I have no words. Thank you Katie, Cassie, Edison and Lauren for a great experience. More...
