    The counter seats

    I took my mom here during Autumnleaves festival in Mount airy North Carolina. We had to wait to get in, but it was so worth it. The food was delicious. We watched as they made the food right there because we were able to sit at the counter. We loved all the people that worked there they were so friendly And it was so cute being able to eat in that little diner. It was small not a lot of booths and not a lot of bar space but they knew how to take care of you. We are looking forward to going back another time. Maybe next time we can try their breakfast.

    Located in bustling (if touristy) downtown Mount Airy, Leon's Burger Express serves a very good burger. Cooked fresh and prepped with care, the burger had a very good flavor. The fries were fine and the sweet tea was excellent. A friendly staff and cute interior decor complement the good food to make this a solid 4 star joint. My only nitpick is the word "express"--it should be dropped from the name, for it took quite a while to get my food. I'm actually fine with this, for the cook paid individual attention to each burger, and I appreciated that. So great taste? Yep. But express? Nope.

    if your here and your hungry for some southern slathered old-timey diner charm you'll find it here along with an antiquated menu. Their famous California burger has mayo as the big differentiator...whoop de doo. Nice folks living off the Mayberry tourist traffic serving underpriced sandwiches and pie. Am not trying to bash them it just does not in any way standout and the restauranteur in me sees a squandered opportunity to make more money. I enjoyed my basic $3.75 egg salad sandwich and my husband's burger was fine altho not much different than you would get at your school cafeteria. If you're here, eat.

    All the goodness...if you need breakfast before 6am, this is the place evidently as they open at 5:56am! =D

    Odell's used to be so, so, so good and then for a while it went downhill. Wait times were insane,…read morethe food was lower quality and you could tell it just wasn't what it used to be. Then, this year happened. I wish I knew what happened, but Odell's is BACK! They have the same yummy food they were known for and the service is great! They are so friendly and prompt. We always joking called it "Slow-dells" because of how they would take 45 minutes to bring the food AFTER you called it in prior to driving there. Now, we pulled up and placed the order and it was out piping hot within 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing! I don't know what they changed, but they've cracked the code and I wish them all the success in the world! Our food: Mom got a cheeseburger basket, which was perfect! Husband and Dad got Big Moe baskets, again perfect. I got a hotdog (for old time's sake) and it was everything I remembered as a kid. So delicious and nostalgic. I also had a chicken tender basket and it was good. It wasn't the same chicken tenders and bbq sauce that it used to be, but like most places, that is hard to keep the exact same over the years, especially with varying food service providers and whatnot. If you previously had stopped going here, give them another chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

    Prompt service and delicious food. I ordered a ground steak sandwich. The taste was superb! I'll…read moredefinitely be back!
