About

Relaxed joint serving oysters, Southern-style seafood & fried chicken in a cool space with a patio.

— Google Editorial Summary

Laid-back eatery featuring fried chicken and oysters in raw or grilled forms.

— Google AI Overview

Leon's is a casual, intimate spot that folks keep coming back to for fried chicken, shrimp, crisp salads and solid sandwiches — and yeah, the frozen drinks get a lot of praise. Expect a friendly, lively vibe (they also run the Oyster Shed) and down-to-earth food, not fine dining.
