This place seems to be extremely popular and I just don't get it. Â It's like a fancy sports bar where the food tries to be gourmet, but it never works out.
I've been for the $5 pizza special and the pizzas are okay, not really remarkable. Â I went for brunch and it was decent. Â However went for dinner last night and still remain unimpressed.
Supposedly the sliders are good, but I opted to go for the KC Style Burger, meaning a burger with peanut butter, bacon and cheddar cheese. Â Yes peanut butter on burgers is a real thing. Â Yes it kinda works out. Â But here I don't understand why it makes it KC Style (certainly not named after the city I'm guessing) and the peanut butter still doesn't make it a good burger.
I was glad that they asked how I wanted my burger prepared and impressed that they actually delivered it to my desired doneness (medium rare). Â The burgers are served on pretzel buns which is a newer trend that I'm seeing (and liking). Â However, the bun here just sort of fell short. Â It was too thin and not round enough to hold the full burger. Â
The buffalo fries are a good addition. Â Taste like Arby's curly fries but they are of course not curled.
I simply don't understand the appeal of this place. Â I'd probably only go back at others' insistence. Â I certainly wouldn't offer to go here on my own fruition.
Didn't even get to sit down before we left because of the awful service. Â We were a party of four who walked in and were first on the list for a table. Â About ten minutes later, part of a party of eight walked in, and a minute after that another party of four came in. Â Fifteen minutes later, the hostess seats the party of eight. Â Someone from our party asked the hostess if we came in first, and she confirmed that we did. Â The hostess then said that it was a "big table" that came open, so that's why she sat them first. Â We saw the space - two four-person parties left, and they pushed together those tables. Â So instead of seating the party who was first on the list and another party of four to take those tables, she sat a party who came after us. Â Since we were going on almost a half hour waiting, we decided to leave. Â On the way out, the hostess (who is a blonde with just awful purple highlights, in case you have to deal with her) just asked "you're leaving?" with a smarmy grin on her face.
Won't give this place another shot.
Service is sometimes slow and unattentive (inconsistent). Food is great, with many of the dishes having a greek or middle eastern sort of theme (feta, olives, etc). Salad with baked brie is awesome. Some great salads and sandwiches and mini-pizzas. Not too many vegetarian choices but there are two or three good ones. Due to the sound-reflective decor, the place can be very loud, particularly during games, as it is basically a sports bar. Tables are nasty (sticky) and need to be refinished.
Review Source:I like to support local businesses so I tried Leon's. Not once or twice but 3 times. Service is a mess. They don't really care and seem to wish they were somewhere else. The food is standard fare. Overall I was very disappointed.
Hoped the new Broken Arrow Leon's would be better. Nicer place and the service was much better. The food was a disappointment.
Definitely agree with other reviewers. Â The food and beer selection are excellent, especially $4 pizza night on Weds. Â I've been there on multiple occasions and the service is always terrible, to the point that you don't want to go back. Â Atmosphere is good and it's a great place to watch a game, but if you can't get any of the servers to make eye contact, it just gets irritating. Â Sometimes we've sat AT THE BAR for 10-15 minutes before one of the four servers makes eye contact and asks if we want something to drink. Â Did I mention we were AT THE BAR?? Â I wish they would get some decent servers so this place would stay in business and be a place people want to go.
Review Source:Came here with American Airlines for a sponsored dinner with open bar. Â Let me say that the open bar part was fabulous! Â We also had food, but it was so much of a dinner as a selection of appetizers. Â Some of the appetizers were pretty good, while others left more to be desired. Â Everyone enjoyed the eggrolls and the bacon wrapped, sausage stuffed peppers. Â The set up was really weird in their back room so it was impossible to try and eat food while schmoozing with our hopeful employers. Â I do remember the pizza though, and that was not a pleasant experience. Â It was extremely doughy and covered in cornmeal.
The bar made up for this experience, as all the cute townies were there watching the Tulsa game. Â Love all of their accents. Â The beer selection was good, but they definitely weren't prepared for the alcoholics of ASU who ripped through their kegs.
Well I have to agree with the other three reviews on this one, slow service. Â You can have great specials all you want but if you can't order them what's the point? Â So... Wednesday nights are pizza night. Â Great brick oven pizza for just $4. Â Thursdays are buckets of beer for $7. Â Lots of specials and now we know why. Â
The sports bar theme doesn't seem to go with the bones of the place.  I hope the next business that replaces it  with utilize the potential a bit more, it could be great.
Pathetic service. I don't know about the food, because after three attempts at eating there, I've yet to get to order. Twice I failed to even get seated. Once I got seated, but by the time the rest of our party arrived 25 minutes later, no one had so much as taken our drink order so we just left. For my last visit we waited 15 minutes at the "hostess" stand to be seated before anyone was curious enough to ask why we were standing there. We were about to just sit down at one of the several open tables when someone who apparently works there asked what we needed. Â When I told him we wanted a table for dinner, the response was, "Uh, we've kinda got kind of a wait." I asked about the 4 or 5 open tables I could see from the doorway, and even though no one else appeared to be waiting, the response was, "No, those aren't available. We have a wait." Â How long? Â "Not really sure." Great. Bye.
I hear positive things about the food, and the menu looks great - certainly different from most other places in town. But I, for one, won't be back to try it myself. Three strikes and you're out. There are simply too many good choices in Tulsa (and on Brookside and Cherry Street in particular) to willingly endure the kind of attitude and service I've witnessed at Leon's.
I'm sick of people complaining that Tulsans are fickle about supporting new restaurants. When Leon's closes shortly as it's predecessors all have, somebody needs to admit that poor management, poor training and/or poor execution by the staff played a big part.
Leons reminds me of the sports form of Pala's in PDX. Basically it the sports bar with better than average sports bar food. All the main dishes are named after local sports heros, Like most located in the OK they have 5 beers on tap and mate than 20 in bottles. The wait staff is need of some type of repair. The ratio from wait staff to patrons are off the chart. Â It took 5 minutes every time we ordered to actually get our orders. But 4$ for any beer in this state is a good thing. Had a descent wine list both red & white. The room that housed the pool table was empty. Â A crowd stuck to the bar as if its fly paper is dressed just like those in NW PDX. A little home from home so to speak. One sever had dreadlocks while a cook sported a mohawk. I think Tulsa is a little more grown up and liberal than its counterpart just 92 miles SW to it.. Â If you happen to be in Tulsa ever...it's not a bad spot to hit up if you like waiting for what ever you order. They did have the best bathrooms in Oklahoma so far. Reminding me of the ones at East back in Ptown. But this is Oklahoma what would you expect?
Review Source:Wow. I don't know what happened here, but it was bad.
For starters, it took the waitress like a million hours to come take our order. I was probably a little antsy-in-the-pantsy for my liquor beverage, but everyone got a little squirmy. We ran out of things to talk about that weren't related to how long we'd been sitting there.
Did I mention it wasn't busy at all?? Because it wasn't.
The food at Leon's is good- everyone knows that. But, they had the audacity to bring out not one, but TWO baskets of chips for our queso that seemed to have been stomped on inside the bag then served to us. Maybe crushed up under someones hand, then served to us. That's closer to reality.
I simply refuse to believe you had that many chip particles lying around your kitchen, Leon! I'm uploading a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. We put a quarter in the basket to give you some spacial relevance.
Ugh. The service was awful. I'm irritated just thinking about it.
