Leo's Coney Island
While Leo's is famous for its Greek salad, the extensive breakfast menu can't be beat. The three-egg corned beef and Swiss cheese omelet is the most expensive breakfast item at $6.95 (as of November 2009), and it comes with hash browns and toast. The salad and kids menus are almost as broad, and Leo's offers munchies galore. There's a fabulous Greek menu, burgers, sandwiches and a favorites menu that includes vegetable stir-fry. You can wear your jeans and bring the kids. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m.
