These restaurant owners have a long history of family tradition. Sam and Moe opened their first Leo’s Coney Island in 2011 in Belleville. Moe had been in the restaurant business for 30 years and decided it was good time for he and his brother to start their own.

With great success at their first effort, they opened their second location in Flat Rock in 2015. Quickly after, Sam’s son, Ali, came in to help run the business. Not long after, the youngest son, Hassan, started dish washing at the restaurant. At this point, the restaurant was largely staffed by family. Working long hours and managing two locations, all of their hard work was paying off. The business was growing and customers were continually coming in. This is what Flat Rock is all about: grit, family, and community. That being said, it is not all a family affair. Their manager, Chiara, has been with them since day one. Keith, the restaurant manager, has been in the Leo Coney Island family for a long time. Most of their staff has been with Sam and Moe for years.

Now in 2020, Hassan is running the Flat Rock Leo’s location. His hard work led him to grow and run the business. Hassan said he really loves the community here in Flat Rock. He loves seeing the same happy faces. Hassan admitted he has customers who give him constructive criticism, but he likes the feedback. He wants the restaurant to always be better and the customers to be happy.

If you haven’t been to Leo’s, please do pay them a visit. They’d love to have you try all that they have to offer.

They even have a wonderful Mediterranean menu, complete with homemade hummus, fattoush, and shawarma sandwiches.
