This place is as good as the reviews say. Not only is the service good and quick, the food is really great. We loved the waffle we had. The French toast was delish and we can’t stop talking about how good the breakfast sausage was!

I will review the restaurant below, but first, beware of an “issue” (as they call it) that they’ve been having for months, where they come out with specials at lower prices and then bill you for the full price!! Most customer don’t even realize this because they trust the restaurant and never review their check before they pay.
Now, about the restaurant: We’ve been coming to Leo’s since it was located in Newtown (late 80’s – early 90’s) and until this fiasco with the billing “issue,” it was one of our favorite, most-often-frequented breakfast spots. They have a fantastic waffle dish, covered in fruit and a delicious raspberry yogurt dressing that was my personal favorite.
They have other other breakfast dishes favorited by my family. Overall the food is fresh and very good. Service can be good at times and poor at other times. You also have to be careful that when you ask for something to accompany your meal (like real maple syrup), that you ask if it’s extra because the servers tend not to think to tell you ahead of time that it is. The coffee quality is lacking and is very disappointing. I would like to see them spend a little more on better coffee. They do offer fresh-squeezed orange juice that is delicious.

Great breakfast place. Place felt home, cozy and their food was great! Good portion and the food tasted fresh. Had the omelet and blueberry waffle yummy! Would come back when on town.

Thoroughly bitten by the restaurant challenge bug, I took a quick drive over to Southbury to tackle the Kitchen Sink Platter offered at Leo’s Restaurant. A menu staple of Leo’s menu since their 1987 opening, The Kitchen Sink includes three soft pancakes, three slices of Challah French Toast, an ENTIRE Belgian waffle, a side of crispy bacon, several succulent sausages, scrambled eggs, home fries, fresh fruit, an a hot cup of coffee (even in my beloved decaf). Completion of this creation earn you a free T-shirt.
Even though only 30% of people who order this king sized dish actually finish, I knew this would prove no match for my bottomless stomach. Indeed, I polished off the whole shebang in a speedy 11:40, easily surpassing the owners wildest imagination.
Leo’s scrumptious challenge may not have busted open my gut, but their warm friendliness and amiable staff had my heart bursting with gratitude. Thank you so much for continuing to offer such fun and inviting breakfast challenge after almost 40 years and for treating me like family during my meal. With the spirit of a lion running strong in the restaurant, I felt like a part of Leo’s pack .

Nice local spot for breakfast, very friendly staff, they are popular and can get quite busy. A lot of great seasonal and year round specials. The “Eight is Enough” and “Threes Company” are family favorite picks. Fresh baked goods/treats also available at front counter.

I stopped here because the place I wanted to go to was closed. Turns out, it was a good thing I did. This place had some very good food and very pleasant servers. There was a wait to be seated, but it was worth it.
The food came out quick and hot, and I’ll tell you, I had the best French fries I’ve had in a long while. The Ruben wasn’t the best, but it was good enough. The meat was fresh, but the toppings were a little lacking.
I will definitely be coming back to eat here the next time I pass therough.

Went to this place, first time, for a friend’s birthday lunch. Excellent service, great atmosphere, but just good food. I had raspberry fields sandwich. My expectations were high, had heard about the raspberry bread. Must say, the sandwich was good, but I was expecting more. I have a bread fettish. There are a few places I drive an hour or more, just to buy bread from. I just thought the raspberry bread was OK, but nothing to write home about. I would return to try something else, simply because the people and location was really nice and made up for the mediocre food.

This place is a gem.
Let me start by saying the coleslaw is the best slaw I’ve had in a very long time. I would rate 10 star rating for the slaw. Perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, not to Mayo and not to vinegar!
The fries ranked among my top favorites.
This mom and pop place has a following and rightly so. The food was amazing. It was so plentiful that I couldn’t eat it all but I sure tried because it was sooo delicious!
I would absolutely return given the opportunity!!!

If you like a brunch that feels like eating at mom’s or grandma’s kitchen, Leo’s Restaurant is a perfect place. The food tastes yummy and with fun names, it adds to the experience. It brings me back to my childhood. Sure, you can eat at franchise restaurants, but why? Leo’s has great customer service and did I mention big portions. Who wants to eat anywhere else?

Creative menu in a quaint old house. Loved the Sweet Dreams – french toast with peaches and my husband really enjoyed the Shrimp Bocco – folded over pizza type dough loaded with shrimp. Attentive servers and good food.
