Reviews of Leo's Restaurant & Take-Out (Fish Shop)

Kelly Bishop

Seriously delicious food. They could marinade their chicken in a wee amount of brine to flavor up the meat. A little more costly than anticipated (19 dollars for a 2 piece fish and chips, 4 dollars more for dressing and gravy). We will say it was a treat and we hope to enjoy it again down the road.

Honestly, this was the worst fish and chips I've ever had. I feel sick a few hours after eating it and I barely ate half the plate. The woman working did not say hello and just had an overall sketchy feel. I knew I should have just left. Location is also rough and uncomfortably so. The woman did not know much about the fish source or quality. I highly doubt it was fresh, despite being told this, parts of it were like mush. Our group didn't even bother eating the batter, it wasn't appealing. Fries were bland and the gravy was as well. If you want good fish and chips, the best I've had so far is at By The Beach. This is just disgusting.

Leo's Fish & Chips is our go to fish & chips place whenever we visit St. John's. The wall of fame with pictures of many celebrities is an indication of its popularity! I have frequented this amazing restaurant atleast 5 times because the love of the fish and fresh cut fries. The fish is brought in fresh daily and is always tasty and delicious. The staff are always friendly and very respectful. This little restaurant is a local icon and a must stop during our visits to the Rock!

Got a poutine but had to leave l, couldn’t eat any of its I believe it was in brine for a week... it was same as picking a piece of cod off the flake and chewing on it..

Best fish and chips anywhere. Don't let the decor fool you it's one of the places best features. The owners keep the store clean and haven't changed anything in 30 +years. Instead they just focus on giving you great food and large quantities.

Definitely not the Leo's I remember. Fries were great but it's pretty hard to screw up fries. The fish just wasn't great. The batter was rubbery, resembling cardboard almost. The fish itself was fresh but the batter left a lot to be desired. This used to be my favorite spot in town but I feel like I can't say that anymore. Definitely unfortunate!

We heard this place has the best fish and chips, I didn’t find anything special about the food. This is in a hard part of the city.

It was one of the best meals I've had in NL in years!! I visit twice a year and this was just so so amazing!!! Two orders of Cod bites with fries, dressing and gravy and a drink each came to about 38 bucks, love that the walls are covered in autographed pictures of celebrities that have eaten there so you know who sat in your booth

If you know Montreal, this is the Shwartz's of fish and chips. But only open till 7 p.m and closed Sunday and Monday. 50 feet away is Ches's. Thicker batter but also very good. Open late.

Edwina Mills

Not bad. Way over priced for what you get but Ches's isn't much better cause they down sized their portions.

Curtis Poirier

It used to be a lot better and the quality has slipped in recent years. But it's still the best fish and chips place in town for now.

Marcel White

Leo's has been a family tradition for me for as long as I can remember. The fish is great, the chips are great, and there's dressing and gravy when you want it. Going to Leo's feels like eating with family.

Brad Bastow

Leo’s fish and chips the best tasting fish and chips in the world. Today I stopped in to pick up an order. I am exempt from wearing a mask. There was a customer upset because I didn’t have a mask on however no one else at that time was wearing a mask except for the staff as everyone was eating. The owner was very professional. She didn’t question me or make any one feel uncomfortable. The upset customer who had 90 percent finished her meal got up to walk out and the owner Kindly offered her food to go. Leo’s staff and food is amazing. Not only is the food delicious the owners are most accommodating.

The fish and chips are great! The batter is very crispy and the fries are just so good. It's a very popular place for the locals and it just has a few seats. You might have to wait bit during peak hours. But you won't be disappointed. A must try if you're looking for some good fish and chips. Very friendly service as well.

Nathan Adams

Thomas Luscombe

Great food here. Interesting experience compared to big restaurant chains. Staff are great as well! This place is always on my short list when I'm looking for a feed of fish and chips . Thanks again!

Kenny Dunne

Great fish and chips, they don't cook it till you order it, never seen that at other places.

ken pretty

Best fish and chips in town with the best customer service ☺️

Ying Liang

Fish n chips are ok. Had to drown everything in vinegar to give it some flavour. Not the best in town that's for sure. The gravy is really good

Mad Murphy

A classic diner to have fish and chips. Freshly fried and made to order. Rick Mercer is on the walls as a fan.

Josh Beaudoin

The only thing better than the fish and chips is the staff that work there. Absolutely an exceptional experience.

Ferenc G

Some of the best fish and chips in the city. Friendly staff and they make their own malt vinegar.

Burgers used to be amazing and now they taste like they are cooked on an old uncleaned flat top grill with little to no care involved in the process. Very unhappy with my past few experiences.

We took the advice of our Air B&B host and went to Leo's. Amazing fish & chips, service and atmosphere. We'll definitely go back.

Brad Reimer

Excellent food and service. Best fish and chips anywhere on the Avalon.

The fish and chips were delicious! We wanted to try a few local eateries and we were very happy with the food! The server was very friendly and the locals seem to frequent the place.

Gary Halley

Good fish. Good chips. Better than the competition. They have plentiful Birch Beer, deadly onion rings, and a unique character.

Zachary

I ordered a two piece wings chips and gravy and it was delicious. However the portion was super size small. Two wings great the French fries portion was super small on a very small tray. For almost 14.00 I expected more. I was still hungry after I ate it. Very disappointed. Just because it’s Covid don’t gouge us. Feed me.

John Redmond

Great food and friendly staff

Billy Ashley

Well I asked about their menu item A few fries and 1 piece of fish.Then proceeded to order 2 orders of that with fries.What we got was 10 to 13 fries with a small piece of overfried dry fish.Gravy was good but charged us $2 for a tbsp.We were charged for sm fish/chips at $10 but were given less then the $8 fish and few fries that we ordered.Was very unimpressed and will never go there again.$27.60 !!!

Craig Bursey

Perfect chippy! The fish & chips are very good. And they offer a 1 Piece option (for smaller appetites). Food quality, friendly Newfoundland hospitality are unparalleled.

Robert Pitcher

One of the best greasy spoon fish and chip shops in town. Order the two piece dressing and gravy all over to get the full experience. Prepare yourself by not eating, you won't leave hungry.

Kevin Greene

Old time favorite fish and chips restaurant that locals frequent regularly.

Jennifer Clement

The best hamburgers and fish & chips in St. John's. A family business operating since 1954. I've eaten there at least once a week since September 1970. What more can be said?

Great fish with thin batter, fast service

Teidje Noonan

I ordered through Skip, and the driver was a little behind, and a Leo's employee actually called to explain the delay to me. Also, I was impressed bc they prepare their orders to coordinate with the driver, so that food is delivered as fresh as possible. The food was so delicious, I ate every bit, and it is not often I would even eat all the fries. The fish was flaky, the batter crispy; my cat may have been jealous. I would definitely order from here again, and I do recommend them. The two piece was really only $10 plus tax. Soretty inexpensive indeed.

Daniel Wincey

Love Leo's Best fish and chips in town and very consistent have been going for years and I always enjoy.
