“I don’t typically leave reviews, but I have to say the variety of food, the attentive waitstaff, and quality of family dining is superb. The patrons tonight included a young man, maybe mid-20’s who stood up to thank a veteran for his service as he was leaving his dining table by himself. All around a great dining experience and the coffee is bomb!“

I gave a $100 deposit which was later subtracted from the total bill.. so there was no charge for the room. The large room holds up to 100 people, we were in the smaller room, having a guest list of 23. My guests raved about the food and our server Rebecca. She did a Great job, very attentive, and friendly. Thanks also to Jackie, and the rest of the staff. Kudos to the kitchen! The Salmon and Chicken Marsala were very popular that afternoon and cooked to perfection. Thank you Aspen for making my event so special!!

“We stopped in the Richmond location for lunch today. The food was great as well as the friendly staff.“

“The food is always excellent when we come here but when we're ready for the check, we're almost always waiting for 15+ minutes to even ask for it. The staff is good about taking your orders when you arrive but after you get your food it's almost like they've forgotten about you even if it's not busy. In regards to the food, I'm gluten intolerant and their gluten free pizza is one of my favorites! I've never had any issues with it.“

“1st time visit this past wknd. Could certainly use some updating but the one very large update needs to be serving draft beer in an actual GLASS… Ive never been served a beer in a hard plastic cup (?)much less 32oz.. I ended up ordering bottles after that… Also, the menu was paired way down cause it was a band night.. We arrived 1 1/2hrs prior to band so full menu should have been available… Do better is all I can say…“

“Very welcoming staff, Angel was extremely friendly and provided great service! Breakfast is also excellent!“

“I love the new decor, the atmosphere is very warm, open and welcoming! The service has gotten so much better after we stopped coming to Leo's over two years ago when the service was ridiculously slow, the waitresses all stood around the cash register talking about their boyfriends and school and football games and so on while the customers sat waiting for service and even coffee refills. I wrote to the manager and got a nasty return about his family owns a major dining establishment besides Leo's and how his sister-in-law is the manager at Leo's and does and awesome job and so on and so on..... I am so happy a few weeks ago we stopped in, had remarkable service, 2nd to none in the area, the food was spot on perfect and the new decor is so refreshing! Our waitress yesterday was ADDIE A. she worked her tail off, made sure we had everything we needed and even stopped by a total of three times to apologize that we hadn't gotten our food yet and we could obviously see that you had gotten slammed after church, and we were there at a busy time! I have over 11,000 followers on social media platforms and give compliments on our dining experiences on YELP, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK & TRIPADVISOR when compliments are deserved as well as complaints are. BRAVO! You have won my wife and I over and you are now our goto restaurant for family style meals! We have been there three times in three weeks and pretty much will be regulars! Keep up the great work and make sure the waitstaff knows how much they are all appreciated and how their presence and personality sets the initial and sometimes everlasting impression! I had to ask and did find out that you are the "New Owners" and it is obvious! God Bless and keep up the great work you have totally won us over!“

“awesome place really enjoyed the burger friendly owner“
