Le nom dit tout
Il y a plusieurs endroits où se procurer des coques frites dans la région, et Chez Leo en est une qui était probablement là avant ma naissance. Ceci en dit beaucoup. Bonnes portions, prix raisonnables. Moins achalandé que chez Camille ou à l'Aboiteau, mais il me semble que l'attente est plus longue.

Non-greasy fried clams do exist
July 29, 2014I tasted their fried clams, scallops, fish and shrimps and they were fantastic! They weren't as greasy as alot of other places in the area. And they were really fresh. The service and atmosphere were great. I recommend this place.

If you love fried clams and don't obsess about grease this is the place
July 26, 2014Great fried clams. To all those grease obsessed snobs out there- go ahead and splurge once in awhile and taste fried clams like they deserve to be cooked. Life is too short.

Burnt and greasy - yuck
July 21, 2014Our first trip this year, and our last ever. Their clams were frozen and very greasy, but they were nowhere near as horrible as the absolutely revolting burnt greasy scallops. The only reason they got a poor instead of terrible is that their fries were edible. There are too many better options in the area to suffer such dreadful food.

Awesome clams
July 20, 2014Leo's mainstay is their fried clams and they do not disappoint. A bit of an old school setting where you can either sit inside or grab a picnic table outside near the water and watch the road and boat traffic go by. Not on the main trail in Shediac where all the tourists flock, but is well worth going five... more

Grease, grease, grease
July 20, 2014
If you have a low tolerance for grease, go somewhere else. I needed almost 24 hours to digest their fried clams and don't even understand how so many people can rush there to get their fix (it's non-stop orders at the counter). Feels like you drink a full bottle of oil with clams floating in it, really...

No Frills Dining but Excellent Clams
July 15, 2014Chez Leo is a must try for fried clams! It's about $15 for a clam dinner, which comes with a plentiful helping of fries topped with a large serving of clams, and finished off with a dinner roll. The clams are the best in the area. We usually go for take-out, but there is also a dine-in area that is... more

Best fried clams I've had
July 14, 2014
A nice, humble casse-croûte just outside of Shediac on the 134 (Shediac Bridge). You can get service from outside or order from inside and sit in the ample indoor dining room.
Staff are friendly local teens. Our order of 2 clam dinners and a fish & chips took some time to prepare, but was worth the wait. Clams were in...

Excellent clams
July 07, 2014Every time we're in Shediac/Caissie Cape this spot is mandatory. Personal favorite is the clam dinner with fries poutine (only $15). Great prices, quick service, to-go or dine-in.

If you are looking for an interesting alternative to typical fast food chains, and/or love fried clam, this is a good local place to enjoy a quick meal. A popular seasonal restaurant in an area where there is little other choice in restaurants.
However, the building and furnishings were old and the food, other than the fried clams, was only...

A-mazing clams
January 31, 2014As an NB native, I've grown up around fresh seafood all my life. Chez Leo is my favourite clam place of all time, and I drive down bi-weekly from Moncton every summer.

I live in this area where seafood is very plentiful and available. LUCKY ME! Every restaurant/take-out has their own way of preparing wonderful fried clams. I love them and have tried them in MANY places.

The name says it all
October 26, 2013Chez Leo is the place for fried clams in the Shediac area, according to the locals, and who am I to argue. This is a basic take-out place, although they offer a few tables inside and out. The signature clams were tasty and they do offer other seafood treats as well, including very decent fish and chips.

Very nice people. Beautiful location
September 11, 2013I was very happy with this visit. I explained to the employee's that we were visiting from out of town. They were so welcoming and friendly. Food was good. I enjoyed the fried clams. After a meal of fried everything we enjoyed a walk in the area, watching the sunset glisten on the water.

August 29, 2013Chez Leo has been an institution for decades in this part of the world. I own a cottage nearby and have been coming here for years.

August 05, 2013
We stopped in here based on a friend's recommendation. We order clams and fish dinners.
The counter person was cheerful and helpful.
I can't say this was my favorite fish or clam experience in the area but it was good.
It has a take-out window in the front and self-serve seating on the side.

We tried a couple of places for this local treat and hands down...Leo's is the best! Good sized portions were hot and tender.

June 28, 2013Came a long way to get a good feed of fried clams and this was an excellent choice. Friendly staff in a simple retro style family restaurant.

Famous for fried seafood without a doubt
June 16, 2013This is by far the best fried fish I have had in this kind of setting. It is an semi-take-out-self-serve place. The staff is friendly. The fried seafood has a very light batter of juicy, flaky seafood. It is always clean. The prices are very reasonable, the quality is excellent.

Big portion size
October 08, 2012I haden't gone to this place for a few years, so one summer day we stopped by to have a good fry clams snack, I was very dissapointed as the clams were not crunchy like I remebered , I will certainly will not return to this place. Maybe it was just a bad day but the clams were all soggy.

We decided to visit Chez Leo based on the good TA reviews and were not disappointed.
We had great scallops - really sweet and perfectly cooked in a light tasty coating, the fries were also very nice, and everything was hot. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and efficient.

May 13, 2012Fried clams at Chez Leo is a "must do" for us every time we are home in the summer. Nice small clams and always perfectly cooked. You can drive your car through the field to a picnic table and enjoy the fresh air while you have your lunch. Wonderful place to eat!!

I could not find a website for this great little place, but a link to another review site is provided. I am not sure if Shediac Bridge is actually a separate town from Shediac, but it is just 2 miles or so north of there.
