Leo's French Toast House — Restaurant in Alva

Nice little diner with very reasonable prices. Very nice size servings. We had the Alva skillet; chopped bacon, sausage, ham, sauteed green peppers, onions and mushrooms, topped with cheddar cheese and Leo's homemade sausage gravy. You have your choice of potatoes and it was also served two eggs on top. It's actually enough for two to three people! We also had the waffle with strawberry topping. It would have been good had they not put freezing-cold strawberries and strawberry sauce on top of the waffle. The sauce should have been warmed up because it made the whole waffle ice-cold. Next time, if I order the Belgian waffle with strawberries & sauce, I will ask them to put the sauce in a dish on the side and warm it up. Our server was very friendly and on the ball. The servers help each other out by walking around with a coffee pot and topping off everyone's coffee. We were attended to within a couple of minutes of being seated. We noticed that the meals came out of the kitchen very sporadic. A couple sitting behind us came in well after we had been there and placed our orders yet, they got their food way before we got ours! We noticed this happening all over the restaurant. Another couple next to us who came in halfway through our meals got their order within minutes after placing it. The wait for our food wasn't bad it just surprised us when the other people were getting their food within minutes after placing their order and we had to wait for a bit. The only real negative I have about this place was the smell that hits you when you first walk in the door and it's a bit run down. When you walk in it doesn't smell clean and has a funky odor. Many of the cloth seat backs are shredded as well as the foam underlying the fabric. The walls could be painted. This place just needs a little repair and some TLC. We will definitely be back for the food, the prices, and the...

I don't know if this place is under new management or what, but this place has gone down hill over the last year and a half. My husband and I came in yesterday for lunch. After we sat, an older couple sat in the back corner. We gave our waitress our complete order, including drinks, immediately. After sitting a while, we watch our waitress give the older couple their drinks, even though we sat and ordered way before them. Then the waitress goes and checks on others again, while we wait patiently for our drinks. We didn't get our drinks until our food arrived. The food has definitely gone downhill. I ordered a turkey club sandwich. My first complaint was the fact the they put a pile of soaked pickles down, and placed my sandwich right on top. My bread was soaked in pickle juice. It was disgusting. That's a huge restaurant faux pas. You don't do that. I absolutely hate pickles, but I didn't say anything, I just dealt with it and kept eating. While eating my sandwich I kept thinking that something was missing. It didn't taste right. Well, I went to take off my soggy bread bottom and I realized there was absolutely no cheese on it. The Turkey Club is supposed to come with swiss and American. So not only was our food gross and wrong, our waitress was not the best. Again, serving someone else instead of the table that came in way before them, but making sure order was right. The list goes on.

This was the last time we will ever eat there. Every visit back is some new crap experience 🤷‍♀️ which is a shame because at one point we really enjoyed the place. Most of the waitresses do an incredible job. The manager (I'm guessing? ) needs to...

What a "Diamond in the Rough" Leo's French Toast House is. We decided to get dinner out on Friday evening and stumbled upon Leo's French Toast House where we were welcomed by a very friendly waitress named Lisa. Lisa took our order and got everything correct. The food is outstanding! Some of the best meals we have had the pleasure of having at the local restaurants in Alva, FL. The atmosphere is completely relaxed and the wait staff is outstanding. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner and I simply cannot praise our waitress Lisa enough. Great food served by great people is what you will discover at Leo's French Toast House in Alva, FL. I honestly was blown away by how comfortable we were made to feel and we have visited this restaurant again, last night and experienced a total repeat of the high quality food and great waitstaff with Cathy as our server. I highly recommend Leo's French Toast House to everybody, as the food is great, the service is amazing and the menu is overflowing with delicious options. They pretty much have something for everyone at Leo's Fred's Toast House in Alva, Florida. This place is my new favorite, local restaurant. I highly recommend this...
