Cafeteria style! You don't get that too often. We stopped by after going to the beach and got étouffée, catfish combo no complaints every time we visit Galveston e have to make a stop here . Highly recommend. Staff is friendly sometimes there's a line (means it's good) it's worth the wait ;) read more

This place has been a Galveston staple for Years. They offer to season and smoke your own meats during the holidays and all year for that matter. For the holidays we took in a Rib roast, a pork loin, a ham, chicken drumsticks, and a pork shoulder for Christmas Eve. I can't tell you how much easier it made my life to have all of those things ready for pick up on Christmas Eve. Everything was delicious! I had so much left over I shared it and put it in my freezer. We had it again for New Year's Day. When you stop by don't forget the boudin balls to take with you if you are not eating in! Service was outstanding and the ambiance is that of a tried and true old school restaurant no frills, just great food and service. read more

Leo's Cajun Corner is a gem of a Cajun restaurant that rivals any that you would find in New Orleans. I ordered the Boudin plate with Jambalaya and Green Beans. The Boudin was phenomenal! The sausage was filled with savory rice, tender juicy pork and flavorful spices. The Jambalaya was also super flavorful with savory rice and meaty flavorful sausage. The green beans were soft and juicy. Overall, Leo's is one of the best Cajun restaurants I have ever visited and a must try in Galveston. read more

Luke warm gumbo Definitely not worth the price Informed lady it was not hot she placed in microwave, told he I didn't want, she then produced a fresh one. Did not have much flavor, my wife had to put some hot sauce in it just to hav a little flavor. The sausage was tasteless. Definitely not worth buying. The smoked ribletts were very good but tough. read more

First, everything was made fresh and nice and hot coming from the kitchen. The service is top notch, they treated us like family members being served some home cooked love. Definitely worth a try in this down to earth shop, hand written signs show the adoration for the food and people. Plus the menu is extensive with Cajun staples with prices that are criminally low, you can just get more options to savor. read more

I absolutely love this place, however, I was soooooo disappointed when I got home and found my $11 bowl of gumbo was a bowl full of rice!!! :( most places will give you your rice on the side but no, the cup was full of rice so there was barely any gumbo inside. The crawfish boudin was excellent in the air fryer!!! Always a favorite for us. However, we will not ever repeat the gumbo. read more

This place opened in 1991, the current building in 2009, Leo's has firmly established itself as a bonafide classic food joint. It may be on Broadway, but it has the feel of a quiet neighborhood corner joint. The customers all seemed like regulars. No tourists here! Service was kind and quick. Order at the counter. The food was a mistake a mix of prepared foods under heat lamps or in a steamer, or freshly fried dishes. I opted for the fried shrimp plate - 10 shrimp for $16.99. I expected them to be under a heat lamp but they were fried fresh and it didn't take long for them to bring me my plate - fresh and hot. The shrimp was nice and crispy and deceptively spicy! How I've missed this place I have no idea. They also process meats here and have a display case to the right of the counter containing boudin, sausages, jerky, and various other items. This place is the real deal. I'll be back. read more

Tasty food, good service, and fair prices. The riblets are amazing. There is plenty of seating and service is quick.

While they aren't the most authentic, the shrimp poboys here are pretty good for the area and price point. The coleslaw is surprisingly a nice addition to the sandwich. I choose Leo's over most places in Galveston whenever I want a poboy. read more

Solid 3 everything was really lack luster. The customer was great! Really nice people working here that's for sure. Good: we got a mix of things here. Sausage sandwich, boudain balls, fried shrimp, and gumbo. Oh the cupcake was probably the best along with the gumbo. Everything was heated up and very lack luster. I will give them this though, the gumbo was pretty good. I got chicken and sausage. Everything else was very subpar. The cupcake was great! The customer service is really good? Really nice e people working here. I probably won't be back but maybe you will like their food better than I did. Everyone's tastes buds are different. read more

No frills or bells and whistles... just AMAZING food Yelpers. My coworker recommended LCC and boy was Mikey right. Leo's serves the best Cajun food in Texas. I tried a little bit of everything as you can see by the pics I took while I devoured my food. The lady at the counter was helpful and friendly. The boudin balls were delicious and the ribs were very tasty as well. I have placed Leo's on my 5 Star Platinum List of places you must try when in the Galveston area. So let be written... So let it be EATEN!! read more

Order at the counter and pick a table. This is our first time. We had the catfish supreme tray (fried catfish covered in etouffe) very very very good. And the crab cakes were delicious also (and large). This is enough for two people., if you are not so hungry. We came before any rush so it's quiet. We will be back. read more

Very good food. If you visit the island make a stop and grab a couple pounds of riblets! Delicious!

Best catfish I've ever eaten. Light, flaky, crisp coating, entirely not greasy. Great jambalaya, etoufee, and red beans and rice. Generous portions too. The nicest staff ever. They also sell house-made sausage, cupcakes, carrot cake, etc. Definitely try this place if you're in the area. If you're on a budget, they have a section on the menu for meals under $10. They also have a kids menu. read more

Whenever I find myself in Galveston, a visit to Leo's is an absolute must!Their boudin, po'boys, and gumbo are simply irresistible. (Although, in my opinion, the crawfish étouffée didn't quite meet my expectations.) Leo's is a no-frills establishment, embodying the essence of both Galveston and the charming stops you'll find while driving around Louisiana. There's no glitz or glam here; just good, honest food that speaks to the heart of country and bayou culture. read more

Authentic and time tested fare. This is NOT a trendy venture by an up and coming chef. This is what such a chef seeks to emulate and fold into "new" ideas.' No, this the real deal common man's fare that only a regional restaurant in a port city can pull off for over 3 decades. This is the mom and pop place that is still doing things the right way. Using Cajun spices, smoke and good quality ingredients to make its food the staff makes like a Cajun mama would. Their potato salad is the most mustardy potato salad that ever mustard. I'm not a spice lover but I can recognize this is good Cajun food. read more

You have got to come here! Excellent seafood and where the locals eat. The Cajun shrimp and oysters were to die for. Spicy coating that was addicting. Came back twice and I probably could have ate here every day. Try it you won't regret it! Wish I had taken pictures! read more

The food was above and beyond amazing. Talk about good home cooking, look no further. The price point is way affordable for anyone budget. Julia is so l Precious and a sweet. Please visit this family restaurant and feel like you are at home. read more

When coming to Galveston we always end up at Shimp n stufffff. We were hungry and decided to give this place a try. WOW!!!!! Backyard home cooked feel. Any place that has specials written on a board you know it's slappin. We had 4 piece catfish. Not 4 pieces. 4 BIG ASS FILETS!!!! Smoked leg quarter was juicy and SMOKED. Potatoes and sausage as a side was new for me and was an entree in itself. Never had spicy potato salad......DAMN!!! Boudain balls were hugeeeeeeee. I would have posted pics but I was busy licking Styrofoam read more

We decided to try this place base on internet recommendations. When we walked in, it looks like an authentic Cajun dinner, you order at the counter, then they will bring the food to you shortly. The food is surprisingly good! We had their fried catfish, bean & rice as well as the assuage sandwich. All taste good! read more

Good custom service but the food is nasty. I ordered gumbo with a boudin link. Gumbo had a burnt roux taste and did not come with shrimp. Boudin was cold with not flavor. My spouse order fried catfish with dirty rice. Catfish was ok but the dirty rice was cold and taste the same as the boudin. Nasty that went in the trash. Not sure what the other people are tasting t give them 4 stars. No ma'am. A waste of $30. read more

I had the two smoked breast plate with red beans and rice and sausage and potatoes sides. Large portions and enough food for two separate meals All of it was delicious Friendly staff and a clean dining area read more

Never disappoints! Friendly staff and amazing food every time my husband and I pop in here after work for lunch/dinner

The moment you walk in the door you smell the wonderful Cajun flavors. Leo deserves 5 stars for the over-the-top friendly service and his wonderful offering of Cajun comfort food. We stopped by for an early lunch and learned Leo serves lunch anytime of day. The place is not fancy but has a down home feel. Leo made us feel at home and welcome. They were not crowded. The menu is posted on large signs over the counter. There is a meat counter near the counter with Cajun sausage and a warmer with boudins. Leo proudly told us about the sausage filled fried boudins. We ordered a crawfish po' boy ($6.25) and a oyster plate with jambalaya and cole slaw $10) Everything was incredible. The crawfish were a little spicy with a nice breading and very filling. The sandwich is huge. The oysters were flavorful with a gentle breading that was also good. The jambalaya were delicious with large chunks of sausage. We sampled the gumbo which was out of this world. Leo does not make his gumbo with a thick roux but uses more of a soup base. The gumbo was packed with shedded pork and sausage. There was a great spicy flavor. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. Prices are great! On Sundays, all plates are $8.95 all day. There was a kid's menu with options from fish to pb&j. This is a must visit place in Galveston and should on on top ten for Texas. We're going back soon. My advise..... go early. read more

Leo's is the only place to get breakfast and lunch when you get off the ship at the port. everything you can think of on the menu is 10 times better than the food at the big so called restaurants. every year I stop and eat here for the best cajun burrito.their homemade boudin and sausage by the pound is the best I have found. read more

Smoked Boudain, Tasso, and smoked Andouille are completely on point here. We had Shrimp and Oyster Po' boy's along with the absolutely stunning Seafood Gumbo. All dishes were excellent and well seasoned. Chubby lady up front could use some help with her people skills. Seems more annoyed than helpful, but hey...It's a cajun place and she ain't cajun. Bwahahahaha! It's great! read more

Saw all of the great reviews and decided to get some food to go. Came in around 5 PM on a Saturday and decided to order one of the $11 plates. I got a mixed plate of rib tips and crawfish boudain. Huge portions and even bigger flavor. This was my first time having crawfish boudain, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The rib tips were decent, but I wasn't a huge fan. I should've gotten spare ribs instead. The plate came with two sides. I chose jambalaya and potato salad, and both were great options. I don't like most people's potato salad, but this one was homemade, classic, Texas potato salad. You're not gonna get much in terms of ambiance or a dine-in experience, but the great food and the reasonable price warrant 5 stars. I'll be back very soon to try some different options. read more

Very nice prices. They make their own boudin. Huge boudin balls. Good oysters. Spicy shrimp. Great coleslaw. The jambalaya wasn't as good as your get in Louisiana. Too much andouille and no red sauce in it. I think I saw something green like a bell pepper The people were wonderful. Very nice. Brought food to you. A little mom and pop joint. read more

I definitely do not recommend this place. The chicken was so dry. I had to throw it away. I had a whole half a chicken two sides. I just wasn't fresh and it seems like it was just old and stale and everything just was old and stale. I don't know and I've tried tried several places here I can't get a good barbecue. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. Sorry it's just I was very disappointed. read more

Owned by Leo DiCaprio, Leo Sayer and Leo DaVinci (which is quite a trick since he must be super old by now), this Cajun place is vastly underrated and under-visited, and that is to the detriment of those who visit Galveston and don't get the chance to eat this excellent New Orleans-inspired fare. What to get: Jambalaya, Boudin Ball What's not that great: Gumbo What's interesting: Pork Chop, Riblets, BBQ Sauce What else: Might be the best meal in the Gal. Speaking of in the Gal. Don't eat too much food here or you'll put on weight and will no longer be able to play football quite like Leo Messi. Stopped in here because not too many cheap eats type places in Galveston had good reviews. Ordered nearly everything on the menu because the prices are so... damn... cheap. It was a good move. We had a lovely meal, with the Gumbo being ok, the Pork Chop, Riblets and Sauce being interesting and different, and the Jambalaya and Boudin Ball being absolutely top notch. It's a shame more Yelpers don't rave about this place. Would definitely come back again. Lovely service too, and plenty of cafeteria-style seating available. Anthony Boudin loves it too, apparently. So does Leo the Lion and Escargot Leo Leo Leo. read more

The food was excellent! We ordered the gumbo, boudin balls, shrimp plate, red beans and rice and jambalaya. The portions were huge and delicious! I would have loved a little more kick to my gumbo, but I wasn't sure where the hot sauce was located. I saw another employee bring out a bottle to a table, but we were almost done eating at that point. I was so hungry and interested in trying this place I didn't pay attention to the pricing. I was a little shocked that for 3 of the 4 of us eating side dishes that the total was $56. We only had one full meal, and when I computed the items, it didn't seem to add up. So, I would caution newbies to pay attention to the total pricing... read more
