#68: Leshers

Date Visited: 30 May 2009

Meal: Lunch

Diners: 3 - Me, Andy & Alicia

Experience: Leshers Coney Island Style Dogs & Burgers has been open in the heart of downtown Leesburg for about a month. According to the Washington Post, "Owner and Brambleton resident Dennis Martz said he mirrored Leshers after a similar hot dog eatery in his hometown of Reading, Penn. In fact, even the Berks hot dogs and many of the sodas he serves are manufactured in Reading, he said." Their hours are somewhat limited at this time (11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday - Saturday), but perhaps they'll be open later for special events this summer.



Leshers is all about simplicity; there are only four food items on the menu (see photo):
#1: Mustard, chili sauce, & onions, $2.20
#2: Mustard & sauerkraut, $2.20
#3: Plain, $2.00
#4: Hamburger with mustard, chili sauce, & onions, $2.80

Leshers also offers several kinds of canned sodas, plus the specialty bottled Reading Soda in various flavors.

I had a #1, Andy had a #2, and Alicia had two #3s (unusually big appetite that day!) We forgot to try the Reading Soda, but will certainly do so on our next visit. And yes, there will certainly be a next visit.

The best thing about Leshers is that the food is good and cheap! Visit today and support this locally-owned and operated restaurant!
