Leo's Grill & Malt Shop

I love Leo's Malt Shop - 5 stars!Where does the time go? It's been 8 years since I've been to Leo's.This time, 2 of us grabbed some ice cream from the side of the building. I really like the ice cream set-up. There's an exterior order window on the south side of the building. After a couple of minutes, an employee pops out of the gray metal door and hands you the goodies. There's plenty of outdoor seating by the window too.Leo's has been around forever. They aren't a snobby farm-to-table sort of place. The whole setup is like a 1950's cafe, soda fountain, ice cream shop. I'm so happy they made it through the pandemic. And it's pretty funny that they were able to out-compete the Dairy Queen that had moved in across the street and the frozen yogurt place that had moved in next door. (What jerks!) But they're GONE. Leo's outlasted everyone and is still standing, victorious!Thanks, Leo's!-Maxx

Fulfilled my burger, fries, and shake cravings at Leo's. The shake was delicious and easy to split between two people. The burger and fries were classic and cooked exactly right. Leo's was able to accommodate our group of 7 easily on their heated patio, which is turned into a regular patio in the summer. Our server was super kind in helping us split our bills and getting our orders right. Highly recommend!

We walked around to look for ice cream on a hot Sunday afternoon, and decided to have a sit-down ice cream in Leo's. What a cool old spot. Very interesting interiors that may trigger your childhood memories or an old movie. Lovely waitress made sure we were taken care of. Will come back whenever we are back to Stillwater.

What a great malt shop!! Immediately walking in I was greeted by the waitress, Rosie, who never broke from a smile. She made sure all her customers had what they needed and was happy and grateful the whole time I was there. Wish there were more serving at restaurants like her!! It made for a relaxing atmosphere.I ordered a bacon cheddar burger and a mocha malt. The malt definitely tasted like mocha!! Worth every drop of it!! The burger patty was larger than the bun, which is unusual these day. And they didn't skimp on the fixings. I replaced red onions for sautéed onions that made the burger. Their fresh kettle chips tasted great!! No need for fries! But, if you want the classic, you have that option.This was a great Stillwater stop in the middle of a warm motorcycle ride on a beautiful Sunday. I'd do it again next time I'm through!

The food amazing and ambiance is super and yum yum you should try ice cream omg it's literally mouth watering And the service is tooo good and highly recommend this place

We visited on a sunny Sunday around lunchtime, and were happy to get a table quickly. The server was friendly, the food came out quickly, and I really enjoyed the piping hot little sweet potato tots. And what's not to love about a cheeseburger and fries, served with a thick malt in a frosty cup fresh from the blender? Classic malt shop look and feel, nothing fancy but we left happy and full.

This place was showing on Yelp as no reservations available but good news it is first come first serve! My daughter and I both had a burger and fries, the burger was excellent and the fries very crispy like I like them! The server was attentive and fast. We sat in the outdoor seating around back, it was lovely. Great way to fit dinner in on an extremely busy weekend.

My daughter and two granddaughters accompanied me in travel across the river to Stillwater, on an absolutely beautiful Friday afternoon. The sun was brilliant, and the breeze cool. Perfect for an outdoor lunch. We chose to enjoy our lunch at Leo's. At first, we took a peak inside. It was very crowded and only one table available. One of the girls said, "I don't want to sit in here. There's a creepy man at that table." Looks like I taught my daughter well. LoL, it was actually one of the grandkids, so I guess she taught them well. The child has spoken. To the patio, we trekked. Now seated in the comfort of open air, we took a look at what Leo's had to offer. The menu was full of various burgers and sandwiches. Also, on prominent display, was a list of delectable malts and shakes. When visiting Leo's, you MUST have one of these. And that we did. In fact, two! I shared a chocolate fudge shake with one of the girls, and my daughter shared a vanilla one with the other. Both were cold milky goodness.For the solid portion of our meal, I ordered the Leo's melt, my daughter, the BLT, and both granddaughters ordered off the kids' menu. I can't remember what, but they devoured it to the last crumb. My melt was very good. A bit on the salty side, but the shake took the sting away. It was served with homemade chips, which were outstanding. Especially if you're fortunate enough to encounter one that was undercooked. Its soft texture a stark contrast to the crispness of the others. What a combination. The BLT was full of bacon. Leo's doesn't scrimp on it. The fries that came with it are standard. You have your choice, fries, or chips. Stick with the chips.The servers are very friendly and efficient. Keep these attributes in mind when tipping. Enjoy your meal.Quick Tip: After your meal, think about taking a stroll on the liftbridge over the St. Croix. The middle portion lifts on the half-hour. But don't make the same mistake that I did. The knucklehead I am, I thought that I was recording the process of it going up and the boats under. Seems that I forgot to push the record button! Must have been the sugar high from the shake. SMH......

First time in Stillwater and received so many recommendations to check Leo's out! After dining here, I see why it was so highly and heavily recommended. The exterior and interior has such a classic diner feel, felt like we traveled back in time! Given that it's an old school diner, there are a lot of sandwiches, burgers, and of course, milkshakes to choose from! The cheeseburger and club sandwich were so simple yet so good! Those homemade chips were absolute perfection!! Of course we had to try a milkshake and chose birthday cake. It was so sweet and balanced out the savory food :) Leo's made our first trip to Stillwater so memorable, I'm excited to come back!

A no frills spot for a solid ice cream cone! There was a bit of a line at the ice cream window on a Saturday around 3, though it moved pretty fast! You order at the window and then someone else brings you your ice cream. My partner and I each got a cone - chocolate chip cookie dough and maple nut - both were both delicious! It didn't seem there was a flavor of the day, which was a bit of a bummer.
