    great service
    Tony E.

    Leo's Cafe has moved to another location in McDonough and still serves well-portioned meal for a modest price.

    Entrance.

    The new location is nice and spacious. You still get the same great service from all the staff and the food is right behind. There is a pretty good variety of meals to order so there's something for everyone. I have eaten breakfast and lunch with no disappointments. Come hungry because the portions are good size and tough to finish. They have beer on draft and mimosas for brunch. Lunch was busy and the parking lot looked more packed than it was. There is a very large bar top area for overflow seating so don't be scared by the parking lot.

    Garden Omelette (with mushrooms, onion, bell pepper and cheddar cheese) Home Fries Wheat Toast Coffee
    Mahauganee S.

    I met up with some other moms for breakfast at Leo's. I'd never heard of it before this, but glad I had a chance to check it out! I ordered a garden omelette (made with egg whites) with home fries and a coffee. All omelettes come with toast. The garden is a veggie option where you choose the add ins. I had mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and cheddar. I didn't realize until my bill came that the cheese was an extra charge, but I truly didn't mind it. The service was lightening fast and the workers were so kind and helpful; clearly committed to helping us have a good experience. My food came out less than ten minutes after I ordered it. I joked with the other moms that I wished it had taken them longer as my home fries didn't have any crusting. I was late so was able to partially base my order on what I saw on other people's plates. The home fries I saw before I ordered had clearly stuck to the skillet a little bit to get a little crunch on them; that was the feature that sold me on the home fries over the grits...but, alas, mine were crunch free. They were perfectly tender however. I had to add salt to everything on my plate; it was clearly all kicked without seasoning. The food was fine but not amazing. Overall, this was a solid diner experience. I'd go again if I was in the area and would order something different. The menu is full of variety and there was a steady stream of regular customers so something keeps the people coming back!

    My husband and I popped into Leo's Café for the first time to grab a quick breakfast, and we were genuinely impressed. We tried the Chelsea Boy, an egg white omelet packed with grilled chicken and spinach and it was absolutely delicious. The grits and English muffin on the side made it a perfect, satisfying meal. We were seated right away, our food came out fast, and the whole place had that welcoming, classic diner charm. Service was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu! For the two of us it was 35 dollars before tip.

    Cheese grits
    Chief S.

    "I was disappointed" is an understatement! This take-out order was one of the worst I've had. The steak was tasteless, no flavor at all. The fries were average. The chicken drummettes were ok. Cheese grits = runny grits + slice of unmelted cheese (thrown in trash). The presentation, as you can see, leaves much to be desired. Management/Owners, PLEASE DO BETTER! This was the worst first impression of a restaurant I have had in a long time. I was really hoping this would be good - this place has been established for a few years now. Southern Fusion in Locust Grove is far better.

    Reuben with Pastrami,  other meats to choose
    Kelley M.

    Very Generous Portions. A hungry man will walk away happy. I got the Reuben with Pastrami. I would get corned beef or turkey next time because I personally need a lighter meat. My complaint with most restaurants is scrimping on the ingredients especially saurkraut and cheese, but Leo's does a fine job. I was also able to get an Espresso, which was good. The service was excellent. I was actually confused on who my server was because they all, not only speak to you and Very friendly, but help you the whole time. I hope they get to share tips and keep that in mind and tip good. Full friendly staff, which is hard to come by now!

    The service here was amazing. They brought out the food quickly and fresh. The food was so good. The coffee was great and everything in Leo's bowl was well prepared and seasoned. The staff was incredibly friendly as well as the atmosphere and one of the owners was serving food with his workers.

    One of the best restaurants in McDonough, service and food is always excellent. Love Leo's

    Food was awesome, service was great the overall experience was awesome!!!! This is one of the best restaurants in McDonough..

We used to have family in the area, but unfortunately haven't been down here in 5 years as a result of them not being in the area anymore. When we used to stop in, the service was unbeatable. Everyone would treat you like family, and would get you your food fast. Now, since the restaurant is under ***new ownership***, we are not sure if that is still the case. Our server was great (she remembered our family even after 5 years (connected the dots to us)), but the rest of the employees and the community within the restaurant felt a bit stuffy. They used to have the best coffee. It is still good now, but something changed (not quite as good). Their pancakes are unfortunately rubbery, but contrastively, they have great bacon; crisp with a bit of fat, that's how we like it. Their hash browns have not changed one bit. They are still crispy!! Some stuff has changed in the atmosphere of the restaurant. They generally have the same theme, but some of the signs have changed. If you get lucky, you may get to eat your food with Shaquille O'Neal in the restaurant! He lives in the area, and comes in every now and then to get some food and pay for everybody's meal. What a great guy!

There is also street parking. Wait to be seated. Best to have a reservation during peak hours. Weekend brunch and evenings I imagine to be busy. QR code menu. NOTE if you go during brunch and you get a cocktail from the menu you won't see the prices for brunch. That is part of the reason for the low rating. Even though the drink menu says the days and hours for those prices, you have to ask for the after those hours. The menu has your typical southern brunch flare with a twist. The drink menu is good. I ordered the impossible burger slider, it doesn't come with anything. Just two sliders. I ordered the potatoes. Even though the sliders were decent. It was a little salty. Presentation was good. Watermelon savage. I also tried the scrambled eggs - way too salty. It was inedible. My brunch partner didn't like the grits or chicken biscuit that it came with. Service was fine. Decor and atmosphere was nice. Overall, it was decent. It seems like a nice place to grab drinks and catch a vibe or be the vibe. Gratuity is included. Overall, decent spot. Oh and there is outdoor seating that includes a stage.
