    Pink potatoes
    Jaynie B.

    Horrible experience.... Corned beef hash is canned ( which is fine) but then they mix it with their hash browns ( to save money? Not sure) but it ends up as tasteless pink potatoes... nasty.... Burnt toast... over medium eggs... were over well...broasted chicken was so tough I had to spit out the breast because I couldn't chew it.... Fish and chips .... They give you four pieces... they should because they are the size of fish sticks.... Chicken lemon rice was way too sour.... Overall bad experience..... one and done....whoever is cooking back there should be canned..... I've eaten at Dearborn and it was always good... not sure why this place sucked so bad....we left hungry and grabbed fast food on the way home....

    This is the smaller of the two "Leon's" located oddly enough directly across the street from each other (I think they are brothers or cousins or something). I think the pictures displayed on this review as well as the first reviewers review, are of the larger of the two Leon's. The prices are great, the food is decent, and the service is good. Hats off to the busboy who is not a kid and who is right on the ball, and is the only one who clears tables, all day every day by himself AND he gets you your first beverages when you get there...now that is what I would call a hard worker!!! The food is ready pretty quick and the ambiance is just as you would expect from a diner...the friendly regulars and the "not" regulars. There are no "staple" dishes here, just regular ole diner stuff coupled with daily specials and the soups of the day and breakfast bar on the weekends. I would recommend this to someone looking for a decent neighborhood diner to just chill out and have an inexpensive full service meal.

    Excellent Burger joint! I was drawn to this business based on all the excellent YELP reviews which…read morewere well deserved in my opinion and my new YELP quest to find the best Burger in Metro Detroit. For my first visit here I got their basic cheeseburger where I added Bacon and a second patty upgrading from a 1/4 pounder to a 1/2 Lb burger. My Burger was cooked to perfection and probably the juiciest burger I have had in this area (get extra napkins(: ). It was very tasty and clearly in the upper echelon of the burgers I have tried. At $10.50 which included the two upgrades of bacon and 2nd patty was a deal in my opinion especially when you consider the quality of the burger. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was very friendly and checked in on me twice during my meal to include the owner which is amazing when you consider this is a counter order operation. Facility itself is clean and large with a lot of tables, both indoor and outdoor dining. This restaurant has an open kitchen/grill that is visible to the dining area offering great sight lines into their operation which I actually enjoyed. Overall a top shelf unpretentious burger centric joint. If you are into well made tasty burgers and are in the area than this is a must visit that should not be missed!

I've been to McLaren many times without noticing it: like most of the buildings along this stretch of 8 Mile Road, it has a boxy look that doesn't stand out. But, it was time for lunch, so I followed my coworkers across the street. I had just had a burger the day before, so I got the Cuban Panini instead. Sandwiches come with fries or tots, and can be upgraded to onion rings for $3. There were 10 of us, but we got our food quickly. I didn't actually count them, but it seemed like there were about 40 tater tots on my plate. And, they were perfectly crispy. As for the Cuban, I was intrigued by the addition of avocado. Unfortunately, it was swimming in mayo, which it definitely didn't need. Once the mayo was wiped away and mustard was added, it revealed a solid sandwich, though there wasn't as much pork as I'd want in a Cubano. Sandwiches start at $13, which is a great price for a massive sandwich with fries included. Considering the great service, this is a perfect lunch spot....now that I know it's here.

When I walked in, I noticed plenty of seating in the restaurant, a dessert fridge and a cooler with an assortment of beverages. It was clean but didn't seem like there was any AC, as it was warm inside. I ordered a chicken platter with a side of falafel. I was told it would be around 20 minutes to prepare (the make the falafel cooked to order). Once I finally dug in, I was pleasantly surprised... it tastes better than I remember. The food was fresh, flavorful and plentiful! I asked for the red and white sauce on the side (I'm a dipper) and they gave me two of each. A bottle of water is included in the meal. The price, food and service was great! Definitely worth it and recommend Disclaimer: not sure if this NYC HALAL EATS is associated with the Troy location in any way.

I decided to try the signature Black Label Burger and the house made potato chips. I was disappointed in both. The burger was dry and not prepared to my request or liking and the potato chips had no flavor or seasoning. I should have went with the Sunday Brunch with several offerings and made-to-order omelettes. Sunday Brunch is until 2pm which is also an available on holidays. It includes made-to-order crepes and omelettes, fruit, French toast, pancakes, chicken, eggs, dessert bar plus condiments for Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. They offer dine-in only with a purchase of a beverage for their $7 Happy Hour and Drink specials. This is available Monday - Friday 3pm-6pm. Although I was the only one waiting at the unstaffed hostess station, it took some time for my acknowledgment by a staff member to offer me seating in a booth. Seating options are traditional tables, booths, bar and patio. The service was okay once I was seated. Feliberto was a good server and kept my unsweetened tea refills coming. The ambiance in the restaurant was pleasant and a family-friendly atmosphere.
