great food, singles welcome. Homestyle cooking, only better. Large portions, good prices, breakfast all day, lunch for dinner ok. Good service, slows down at peak hours, but they're very efficient and can handle the crowds. Double counters with real chairs instead of stools--seats for singles almost any time, even Sunday morning. I like the place so much that I drive out there from Ballard at least twice per week.

Pretty danged good!. This little diner is loud and busy. The coffee is mediocre, the service above-average, and the food is awesome. Breakfast scrambles that'll feed an army, fresh squeezed OJ, hearty buttermilk pancakes, they've got one of the best breakfasts in Seattle.

One little hint -- if your food has feta on it, ask for the feta on the side. They use a really good and pungent feta but left to their own devices they'll use so much it'll overwhelm the other flavors in your food.

It's All About the Juice!. It's hard to find fresh-squeezed anything anymore, but at Leena's it's the best--Grapefruit, OJ & Apple, and I'm sure others I've just never had. The food is always good, especially breakfast and lunch, and the atmosphere is so comfortable.

Relaxing and good food. I was introduced to Leena's by a good friend we went there every week day for lunch. He was in a wheel chair and we were accomidated with such style and grace by both owners and wait staff that a 4 star could take lessons. The music was soft and relaxing we could visit with each other without shouting. Food was great i had split pea soup every Thursday. When my friend got too ill to go out we went to get take-out for him and it was greatly appreciated. The people there were like extended family for both of us.

The best around in years!. Great service, always a smile and time to talk to you. Special order requests not a problem. Great home cooked food, the kind we all want to make but can't. And for the men, a bonus too, some of the waitresses are kinda hot too! So, be sure to tip good to! But, don't tell to many people, as the can get pretty busy at peak times...

My personal fav of all time!. Ive been going to Leenas for over 5 years now, sometimes more than once a week, and Ive yet to have bad service or bad food. Leenas is all about family, they never advertise yet is rare that they arent busy. You cant find another restaurant anywhere in the world that makes you feel like your seating at your kitchen table with your family, but being served instead of doing the serving. They have the best food ever, there cheese burgers are the only ones I eat now (dont eat red meat except at Leenas, theyre to good to give up), and I am 110% addicted to their Italian (home made) dressing. It may not be black tie or the Ritz, but the atmosphere and the food makes it better than being at the Ritz. Its just like being at home for thanksgiving, every day of the week.

Great breakfast. We tried this place for Sunday breakfast and it was one of the best places I have been in a long time. The prices might seem a little high for some, but not considering the portion sizes and the food was just awesome. We were seated right away (I think we came in after the morning crown around 10:30 am) and the wait staff were very friendly and effecient. Plus, really good coffee!
