"We always enjoy our breakfasts at Leo 's .. they have an extensive menu of unique and homemade items .. This time my daughter and I were both feeling the need for potatoes .. so she went with potato pancakes and I definitely needed a knish .. lol .. for anyone from the tri-state area around NYC, you may not realize how lucky we are to have many great 'Diner ' options or how many people have never even heard of a potato pancake or a knish auto-correct keeps trying to tell me that I want a knight lol Anyway .. the potato pancakes come on the breakfast menu with scrambled eggs .. always a good option, and always made well .. but that would be too normal on this day .. On the other hand, I simply wanted their knish with mushrooms, bacon and Swiss .. the only potential issue was that it was a lunch menu item and it was only 8:30am .. lol As has happened many times in the past, when the chef s were asked, they said they could do it, including my addition of poached eggs and a side of hollandaise .. see, I did turn it into breakfast .. lol When the food was delivered and I saw that my daughter had also gone with poached eggs, added a side of ham and a side of hollandaise, I realized that we basically both were on the same food jag that day .. different variations of a Benedict theme .. lol Now, do I suggest that you go into any restaurant and twist things around and order things that technically are unavailable ? NO! .. Absolutely Not ! Anyone who has ever been in the business or who eats out on a regular basis knows that this is not something that you should do as a customer .. if you don 't want what a restaurant serves, you can go to another restaurant. But on this day, in this restaurant, the staff at Leo 's showed me once again why it 's top-notch on all levels .. They have an extensive menu of options and they do them all well! Their wait staff is friendly, fast and efficient! Their chefs are very good at what they do and the food arrives very quickly! AND.. they will do their best to accommodate special requests whenever possible .. Last but not least .. for anyone who has previously read any of my 'Diner ' reviews, you know that I think coffee service can make or break a Diner .. They do it right at Leo 's .. Coffee is Hot and Fresh and Very Drinkable !!! AND .. the staff is always there to replenish your cup before you even know you need more! So basically, whenever you are looking for a great meal you should head straight to Leo 's, where the food and staff excel!"
