“ Old school diner feel. Stopped in late on a Saturday morning with the internet of trying one of their burgers, but since they serve breakfast 'all day', I tried a biscuit and gravy with a side of sausage. The gravy was definitely stick to the ribs thick - I may not eat anything til tomorrow. ”

“ This is the burger joint you would expect in Mayberry! Old time food and atmosphere. Prices were still reasonable and the owner still cooks the burgers. It is worth walking an extra block to get there! ”
“ By far the best lunch on Main Street! Leon’s had super tasty food and the wait and cook staff were super nice and helpful. It was fun to watch the grill master cook the food in front of us. Food was well priced. Places to sit at the bar and in some booths ”
