Leo’s Greek Castle

Great proportions, great food and great people. We chose to eat here because it is dog friendly and was nearby as we passed through to Memphis. They served us quickly and the food was amazing, especially the Gyro Sandwich. Better than any gyro back home in AZ.

Solid, middle of the road greek food in a cozy little shack. One of my go-​to lunch spots.

Yeah, not sure why we take so long to get to these WONDERFUL restaurants in our area but we finally made it to Leo’s Greek Castle. The place is small so we have been forced onto the patio each time but the area is nice enough. Service is good as is the food. The first visit, we had a cheese burger with fries, and a classic chicken gyro that were both very good. The second visit is what stamped this place as a winner, though. We stopped in for brunch last Sunday, and both got mimosas and the Country Breakfast– 2 eggs, hash browns, a biscuit, gravy, and your choice of ham, sausage, or bacon. The breakfast was very, very good! Service was pretty good and since it was cold the waitress kept our coffee mugs full. Will be visiting again soon!

Leos under the new management (new in 2013), despite having the exact same menu and (seemingly) the same ingredients as the old one, is a sham of its former self.
Average wait time and food quality have become unacceptable and the early morning crowd is night shifters and college kids drinking mimosas at 7AM.
I still love a good breakfast gyro, but at what cost.
My advice? Drive 15 minutes west on Cantrell and eat at Tazikis.

This truly is the best gyro shop in Little Rock. The meat was absolutely cooked to perfection, the tzatziki sauce was creamy and had a perfect consistency, the pita was warm and homemade. IF you are in the area Leo’s is a must-​do.
The only downside is there are only about 11 tables and the area is very small. So if that sort of thing bothers you then have some to-​go. You will not be disappointed!
Plus, the burgers look great.

Food is good.
Interior is dirty.
Outside smokers are sometimes found.
Food is good.

I enjoyed eating brunch here. 2.50 mimosas helped. The food was good but not the best but it wasn’t bad either. We were seated quickly and our server was cheerful. The food came quickly and wasn’t bad at all. But like I said wasn’t amazing either. I will defiantly be going back.

Well this is a cool little nook!
I’ve been driving by here for months and always said «Oh yeah, that place!» Well, for my latest brunch I finally actually stopped in. And I’m glad I did!
So — came in with a group of three, for brunch, availed ourselves on the coffee, the big cups of water, and the $ 2.50 mimosas.
And, of course, we rolled in hungry, so we tried some of the breakfast too. Everything was spot-​on, exactly what you hope for in a brunch. It was spot-​on exactly what a brunch should be: hash browns, just a little bit greasy. Biscuits, crumbly on the outside, steaming on the inside, with gravy. One of us at the table got one of each of the meat options — the sausage was nicely cooked and came out hot, the ham was a satisfying slab (not too dry), and the bacon was super-​crispy.
Nothing was spectacular, but everything was solid and left nothing wanting, I’d gladly recommend it!
This one gets two extra bonus points from me — one for being dog-​friendly, with a sticker in the window saying so and everything! And the other for being within walking distance, but that’s not a fair one ;)

I love this place! I go for lunch every chance I get… although I have only tried the Gyro sandwich myself… I have seen other customers with over flowing plates of great looking food too. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good, greasy, messy gyro!

Always a classic day-​after-​drinking brunch place. Great atmosphere and tasty food… I always come by when I visit LR and I’m never disappointed in the gyros. I gave it a ⁴⁄₅ though because it’s not your upscale dining place and food is a bit greasy– but for me it’s always just what I need.

Reasonably priced food with fast and efficient service. Their gyros are deeelicious if you get meat! The falafel is also pretty tasty!

I have been eating at the various places that serve Gyro’s during my summer in Little Rock and this is one that I will definetly be back to. I had the 8.99 Gyro platter and had to ask for a 2^nd Pita. It contained that much meat. Only downside was they only served it with onions, tomatos and sauce. The lamb was cut very thick and one piece was even close to a foot long. This place had the best tasting meat up to this point.
The service was a little lacking. I sat with an empty water cup at the edge of the table and never refilled. With 2 waitresses and only about a dozen tables there is no reason for this. They dont bring a check to your table. Instead you go to the register and tell them what you have and they find your ticket and ring you up.
I will be back later this week with some coworkers.

i meet friends at leo’s regularly, both for the great food and the wonderful owners and staff. i absolutely love the new
owners, tad and frank, and have an almost personal relationship with the chefs and servers. eating at leo’s is a great part of my social life!
the darling little restaurant has an outstanding menu, and the service is fast and friendly. the food is always prepared exactly as i request, and somebody is standing there with a coffee pot before my cup is empty!
i urge you to stop by for a wonderful, warm dining experience.
you won’t find anything quite like leo’s in little rocik, i can assure you!
it’s the tops!!!

I’ve passed this place so many times and always thought how cute it looked and how I need to stop by and try it sometime. I finally had the chance to actually stop in and do just that and was excited when I learned they served falafel — I can’t name many other places in Little Rock that do off the top of my head. It was kind of dry since I ordered without the sauce and used my leftover hummus from my appetizer instead, but that’s kind of on me I’ll admit. However, I’ve had better falafel and hummus at other places, and the service was fairly slow, but I would probably go back if I was in the area and wanted something cheap. Also, its dog-​friendly policy meant I got to see a family who let their dog sit at the table like a person which was the highlight of my experience/​whole life.

This is straight up the best Greek food I have ever had. I came here while on business in Little Rock, and I always to seek out a local restaurant to try. This one was GREAT! The gyro was fabulous, and there’s more than enough to feed one person. The location is great, and the staff is very friendly. Try it!

Smelled like they wiped the tables with a urine soaked wash cloth. Also, the waitress seemed stoned, wasn’t friendly and was stuffing her face behind the counter. After she put visine in her eyes. Really???

Awesome food! The owners come out and check on us multiple times when we’re there & the food is always delicious. The new owners have made a few good updates, too! Side note: Sunday Brunch=Perfect Place

I heard about this place from local-​celebrity writer John Brummet. Sounded like he counts on them for a hearty breakfast.
I sought Leo’s for a hearty cheeseburger and got exactly what I wanted. My husband had a gyro pita platter thing. We both thoroughly enjoyed our fast, affordable meals.
Casual, quaint atmosphere. Varied menu. Adorable waitress.
I think little spot would be dreamy for a weeknight, casual date or even a casual first date. It’s kind of a charming little hole-​in-​the-​wall, but in the middle of a small parking lot. You could also take your parents there. I also think it would be OK for kids.

The other 11 reviews were all written before Leo’s was sold and new owners took over. So this is the first review of the new Leo’s.
Had the gyros platter with a Greek salad. Big strike right off the bat. The olives on the salad were canned pre-​sliced black olives. On the up side, the dressing was not as strong and over-​whelming as at many places. Not a great salad, but not a bust either.
The platter arrives with the pita bread to the side, a pile of meat, a pile of fresh onions and diced tomatoes and a cup of taziki. Personally I prefer this so I can shape it as I like. Normally I end up pulling several strips of meat off and eating them outside the sandwich. No need at Leo’s.
The gyro meat nicely split the difference between places that have so much spice that the meat flavor is completely gone and those that apparently have no spices in the kitchen.
The meat is sliced off the roll and then cooked on the griddle. No complaint from me because I like gyro meat to be crispy on the edge and tender in the middle and they hit that perfectly.
Service was friendly and attentive.
We arrived right at the start of lunch and the kitchen apparently hadn’t finished prep because it took a fairly long time to receive our food but once our food arrived it began arriving pretty quickly for those who arrived later. Because they got faster, I suspect it was a prep issue.
They touted the chocolate cake as addictive. I apparently don’t have an addictive personality because I didn’t think it was anything special although it was remarkably moist.
I’ll skip the cake next time but otherwise enjoyed the food.

I tried the gyro platter, the sampler and the bahklava. They were all ok, certainly not the best I’ve tried.
Considering their location, hours opened, and price, I would give them 3 ½ stars but since I cant, I give them 3 stars.
