“We loved the bada bing shrimp, meatballs, calamari, and burrata for starters. I wasn't a fan of the VALDOSTANA DI POLLO (fried chicken balls/bites). They didn't have a great flavor and the sauce basically tasted like melted garlic butter. We ordered the Sacchettini Milani for dinner and it was delicious. It has a light pear flavor that isn't too strong with the Gorgonzola cheese sauce. Everyone at the table loved it!”

The kids thought it was too loud but who cares what kids think. I had the New York strip with corn bread and Mac n cheese. It was delicious. My wife had the meatloaf which was also delicious. Our part of the bill for two adults and two teens was $120. Little expensive but that's anywhere these days. Over all I highly recommend Leroy's!”

They have a lot of beers to choose from, and their signature martinis were great. We felt the prices were reasonable and the portions were more than sufficient. There are also nightly specials, and certain days have their own theme (like Taco Tuesday at a Mexican restaurant).There is free public parking just across the street, and reservations are accepted.We went on a Wednesday and enjoyed a wonderful meal and experience.

We came in late as we were passing by heading south on the highway, and we were so happy we did. I had the chicken marsala which was cooked to perfection. The eggplant parm and gnocchi with bolognese were fantastic. My youngest son had the spaghetti and meatballs. They were the best meatballs we've ever had!!! Everything was delicious! We ended the evening with a delectable slice of tiramisu. We live more than an hour away, but we will be back for sure. This place is amazing!!”

You might drive by this "little shack" on Duncan Road without giving it a thought, but that would be unfortunate for YOU! So in and enjoy fresh fish and crabs! You won't be disappointed.”
