LEON in Schiphol

At first glance, it looks like a decent restaurant. The lady behind the counter was also very friendly. The food arrived fairly quickly. Apparently a little too quickly, as my husband's wrap was still cold. It was reheated, but it was still cold afterward. Mine was good, though with a lot of sauce and vegetables. Not much chicken. You can expect a lot from a wrap that costs almost 8 euros. It's a shame. So, we won't be returning again, and judging by the other reviews, we weren't the only ones disappointed.

Cold soggy food. Wraps are cold and premade

Very slow service, cold fries with a meaty taste

The staff had no oversight, no sense of service, and no speed. In short, very poor service, even though the order was for two coffees 2go.

The portions were an outrage; the burgers were smaller than a €9.50 McDonald's cheeseburger… The staff left much to be desired in terms of politeness… they rolled their eyes when you wanted to order something.

I am out of words, don’t go here. The waiting time was even through a rush quite alright (therefore 3 stars). The food on the other hand was the worst I've ever had at an airport and no it’s not the price or the portion size. The general quality is just super low, to everyone who works there, get in touch with your manager, someone has to implement processes which guarantee quality and food safety.

If you want a burger, go to Burger King next door. Really did not taste good, probably about the worst we have had.

The service is terrible, and hygiene on the coffee machines is worrying (the milk frothers have old,dried milk on the spout).

Lukewarm fries, old burger, soggy wrap. And stiff staff. I doubt the cleanliness of the kitchen when the door was open.

Atmosphere BAD service WORSE food WORST!!! Please do NOT spend any money here!

Food was terrible, couldn’t even finish the Smokey Paprika Wrap. The smell and the taste combined was just not working for me. The service was the worst service I’ve seen in a while. Stood at the front of the line in front a cash register, they decided to change the register and don’t say anything. Terrible place, don’t recommend. If this wasn’t in an airport it wouldn’t exist.

Please do not go here! Waited 35min for 3items. The iced coffee was water with a truck of syrup at the bottom (they are apparently incapable of remembering to add coffee and to mix...). Food was seriously underwhelming and too little. And to top it off everything is obviously overpriced. FLEE!

Bought a large matcha latte that seems to have been made with only enough matcha for a very small one. Price/quality is rock bottom. I didn't even mind the slow service, since I had plenty of time, but I now understand why it was completely empty, besides me. Shame, it's not really that hard to make a place like this work.

I got chicken nuggets, and they were crap. The breading was bigger than the chicken. The chicken looked like it was from the last century. A disgusting mess.

Worst food I have had at an airport. Will not be back. Very bad. Don’t try, not worth any money.

Extremely slow and disorganized service. Better Burger King next door.

The food was really really bad. Food like this shouldn’t be served to anyone

Poor food and definitely not worth the money!

That was the worst meal I’ve ever had. The burger was completely soggy, and the meat looked awful and Grey. I honestly couldn’t eat it.

They serve rotten food it's so bad such a huge waste of money

Not sure I get all the negative reviews. The muffins were delicious and the porridge was good, all be it a little too thick.

I expected a healthy rice bowl, but the meal was quite disappointing. Everything was excessively oily, the rice was undercooked, and the chicken was not properly cleaned — it still had skin and was not entirely breast meat. On top of that, the sauce had no real flavor. Overall, the quality did not match the restaurant’s concept. Definitely not a place I would return to.

The food is disgusting. More than half the menu is missing. There's only one burger option, and the patty isn't made of meat. Inedible.

We were there late, but the food was absolutely dreadful. Do not think you get what's on the picture. We hope we don't get ill...

Just dont eat here, better go to burger king right in front, chicken is so disgusting I had to throw it away.

For the management - you need to put more people. You are loosing customers because of how much time it takes to order.

Got food poisoning. The wrap was already tough and the chicken wasn't crispy, but getting food poisoning in the Netherlands... That's a real low point for a restaurant.

I’m a regular at LEON at Schiphol because they used to have a great variety of healthy vegetarian options - Brazilian black bean stew, aubergine Thai green curry, etc. I went today and they’ve replaced everything with chicken? And a couple of falafel options. Surely even for omnivores, this is a disappointing lack of options. Hopefully they change the menu again soon, it’s a shame.

Baker cold fries, we asked for sauce to go with it and were sent packing, we could clearly see that we were disturbing the saleswoman, never again

Absolutely disappointing… the fries felt like they were a day old, everything was in a mess, and it wasn't a pleasant experience otherwise. But in general, it's hard to find a better alternative other than the good smoothies next door.

Marinate your chicken for better flavour. Cool your salad a bit better.

Two ladies behind the counter. Output in the last 10 minutes: 2 coffees, in total. 2 customers in front of me: both left because they had to wait all this time to order. Then the breakfast was out, so only drinks. This is not what I'd expect from a Leon! Maybe it's better for your brand name to close this location, or get a manager in? Oh and then after 5 minuten and 30 seconds my wife got her coffee, after reminding the lady that her coffee was standing ready under the machine... And it wasn't what she ordered.

Do not waste your time there. Besides the fact that the waitress was extremely rude (she made us wait 20 min to take our order) it was another 45 min to received it. Not Even the correct order so we had to wait an extra 10 min and half our food was cold.) Appreciate she was alone on service but it’s no excuse to be rude.

Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time. This was only while ordering; after that, we received our order quickly. The food was delicious.

I wait 28 minutes for 5 nuggets, this is completely disrespectful for a food store in the airport, the stuff was completely slow and unprofessional

Nuggets and burger were super dry, the fries were okay, I missed the BK right next door

Super slow service despite their "Naturally Fast Food" tagine. This is an airport, people don't have half an hour to wait in a queue for mediocre food. Thus place is a disaster

If I could have given 0 stars I would have. Honestly not even worth writing the rest of the review as everything has been said by others. The water was okay.

12€ for a couple of sad pieces of chicken and crunchy rice. Do better.

Got a "burger" that looked half eaten when i got it. Bread was wet and the burger was dry.

Fast-food restaurant in a convenient, easily accessible location. The food is of good quality and the prices are particularly suitable for affluent travellers. However, for a family meal with children or if you're a student, it's better to go to the Burger King next door. Similarly, if you're in a hurry, avoid this place: the term "fast" is mainly a marketing ploy, as the food is cooked to order. Which can be a problem with a combo of hot nuggets and cold chips (my experience). In conclusion: the brand's slogan, "the future of fast food", doesn't seem very appropriate.

Ordering here requires a lot of patience. Three employees are on standby, but only one is working. The ordering process is incredibly slow. The food is okay, very small portions, but expensive. The surrounding area is unkempt and littered.

Everything we ordered was cold (when is was actually supposed to be hot) The ingredients and dishes themselves seem fine. The chicken patty on the burger is quite big. However, everything was prepared very poorly. Had to trow away the fries as they were harder to chew than cardboard. Should have checked the reviews first, as our experience seems to be the standard here. Should have gone to Burger King next door. #lifechoices

Dry meat. Flattened, soft bun. The burgers across the street are better!

The 5 stars are solely for the friendly lady wearing a head covering; her service is top-notch. Delicious vanilla matcha latte. Other young staff members could learn a thing or two from her.

AVOID! I'm almost in awe at how slow the staff manage to be. I'm typing this review as I wait. The person on the till doesn't even let the kitchen know what to make until you've been waiting 10 minutes after paying. Update: Food was shocking. The fries must have been cooked days ago, the wraps were missing ingredients, everything was just awful. Do yourself a favor and go to any other vendor at the airport

Very underwhelming food, Falafel were soggy, rice was not cooked properly. Chicken side dish was awful. You are better off at Burgerking to save you the disappointment.

Excellent food, fresh. Excellent service by a Portuguese boy.

Stopped there to order two beverages, one burger, one box with rice and chicken, some nuggets and some fries. First of all, we had to wait 20 to 25 minutes because with an enormous line of people waiting the personnel doesn’t work and only one girl is taking orders and taking care of the whole process. After 25 minutes of waiting that girl shows up and take our order. Order is 43.75, We gave her €45 and she looked at us staring at us for a long minute waiting for more money because she don’t know how to count some bank notes. Then the preparation process was OK. We received our food quick and confident we left with our bag to our gate which is on the other side of the airport. What a surprise when I open my bag and I found out that my rice box with chicken has been replaced by an ugly burger that I never ordered. That is probably half of the cost of €11.95 for the rice box and look absolutely disgusting. So this was my first and last experience at this ugly place with br@inl3ss employees that don’t know how to work, and that are totally inefficient, and cannot even put the proper products in the bags of the order of the customers. Have fun in your m1s3r@ble life!

The chili rice i got was terrible. No taste, very little everything. Had aioli for some reason. I do not recommend.

Nothing like the real Leon. Soggy fries, chicken aioli was all rice and very little chicken, no cutlery … I hope they get up to the standard, eventually.

Average food. I would not recommend

A terrible place. Way too expensive, the rice was dry, and the portion was far too small. The only thing that tasted good was the lemon I had to squeeze myself. Worthless.

Horrible place! I never write reviews, but I couldn't resist commenting on the awful quality of the food. I ordered a 12-euro container of chicken aioli rice. What I received was a paltry layer of dry rice with two pieces of chicken and a blob of aioli sauce. I'd rather spend my money somewhere the sun never shines than spend it here again.

A burger for €9.50, but it's truly awful! A piece of chicken on an Albert Heijn bun, nice and crispy?

The food was absolutely disgusting. They wrap the burger in a bag so you can't see how bad it looks. It's served on an Albert Heijn bun, and the cheese isn't melted. I don't recommend this, and you're better off going to Burger King next door.

Cold fries. Saggy salade (old and warm). Weird meat. No forks for salade. No tissues. Very slow service. Unbothered personnel. Wirst burger ever. Never complained before but this was special. Should have checked the reviews before...

Good selection of vegetarian dishes and quickly ready and tasty (the wraps were a bit chewy and the fries where not very warm).

A disaster, terrible service, behind the counter they only think about getting drinks and making fun of people. Get out of here.

Food was pretty good for a fast food place, lots of gluten free and even some organic options. Easily accessible ingredient lists online. The staff and service was HORRIBLE though, they were both incompetent and SO SO SLOW, we almost walked away and gave up on getting our food. This is an airport, people have planes to catch, and we had to wait over 45 minutes from getting in line to getting our food. The employees seemed to have no control over the orders, we had to figure out for ourself what food was ours and several other people got the wrong items. But the most frustrating thing was the complete lack of efficiency from the employees, they just shuffled around, chilled and relaxed, while all the people in line were potentially missing their flights. Infuriating. The food was not even hot when we finally got it.

They have nothing is stock !!! No sauces or burgers. Rice is dry, like it had 2 days old. Expensive and bad... dont récemment it at all.

If you're a fan of a good cup of Senseo, this is NOT the place. This place can't even compare. It honestly felt like I was sipping from the dregs of a Senseo in your average construction site on a Friday afternoon. Not to mention the price, be warned.

The food in the picture doesn't match the food you get at all. An Albert Heijn bun.

Very slow. My vegetarian salad had chicken in it. The fries were cold. Ordering took forever. Suboptimal for an airport.

Cold tasteless food. I handed it back. You wouldn't give it to a dog.

It's hard to say it was bad because there was so little you could barely taste it.

What a disappointment. The place looks like it’s on life support – everything is dry, dull, and dead. No atmosphere, no energy, just a long, slow crawl through boredom. The staff couldn’t be less interested if they tried. No smiles, no effort, and frankly, some looked like they were literally drinking on the job. Not exactly professional. Avoid if you’re expecting anything remotely lively or welcoming. Just skip it.

Their entire menu says “Back soon” Whats the point of a fast food joint if the place can’t sell half their menu?

I can't imagine a worse place to eat. We assume food prices at airports are high, but at least some people have some sense of shame and offer a certain minimum quality. LEÓN offers food that even an animal wouldn't eat. The kids who take orders and cook do it well and have no responsibility, but the owners do.

If you want to waste 45 minutes of your life, please go here! 2 completely unproductive and unprofessional dudes acting like they work (they don’t).

Took very long, and they were working very slow. The chicken was dry and the rice was not cooked enough. They threw our food on the tray. Lemonade was good, but probably not made by them 😆.

If I could give fewer stars, I would. The sandwiches are supermarket staples, and the small ones at that... And they're crushed! Disgraceful!!!

Poorly managed. Under staffed, long and very slowly moving line. Maybe 12-15 people in front of us and took 30 min. Out of all wrap sandwiches. Food was fine but not worth the 30 min wait

We went here for dinner because it looked reasonably good in the photos, but my daughter got a ridiculous chicken burger. The chicken was still raw and therefore undercooked. The hamburger bun was a supermarket bun made with absolutely no love, so I left it alone. The chicken wrap was also subpar, but I just swallowed it because it needed something in it. The guy behind the counter was stirring his ear while passing the food around. It was incredibly unappetizing and completely unhygienic. The Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority should have shut this place down long ago. For others: Pass this place by and save your money and possible food poisoning before your trip begins.

You get a supermarket bun (you know, the ones that sell 10 for €1.25) instead of a proper bun. Even if you eat them right away, the buns are already soft before you even start eating them and too small. The chicken on the chicken Caesar burger is chicken, but the breading was also partially softened. It doesn't look like the pictures. So, I only ate here once.

Once and never again...the business stands or falls with the staff 🥴 It didn't taste good either...very strange taste 😏

I was very excited to try something new and chose Leon… what a dissapointment! It tastes exactly how it looks like - mushed, dry and bland. I won’t be a returning customer and would not recommend. Adding photos for comparison: expectations vs. reality

Waited 29 hours just to get the wrong order. Food wasn't even good...

Horrible experience! The wait was incredibly long, both to order and for the food to arrive. The oatmeal tasted like cardboard. The staff seemed extremely incompetent. Avoid like the plague!

Poor service, very disorganized and slow, and on top of that, terrible food…

Zero service. The staff are weak, talking to each other despite the queue... I've never seen anything like that, there's no one in charge, all the staff look on without doing anything, they all need to be fired, useless

Waited more than 45 minutes… this is an airport…and they call themselves “fast food”

I waited 30 minutes and had to ask if I'd been forgotten. I ended up with almost raw fries. The burgers were tiny and not that great for the price. It's a disgrace, really. That only works at an airport...

Bizarrely long wait for mediocre food and vending machine coffee.

The Love Burger is truly the worst burger I've ever had. The serving system is also completely absurd. It makes no sense at all. I spent a total of 45 euros, even more than I would have paid at the neighbor's. If this is allowed at Schiphol, HMS Host really only has their wallets on their minds.

Great prices and choices for an airport. I ate rice box with tagine and my friend got the chicken bbq wrap. We were happy with them. The staff was also friendly.

The Chicken Aioli was not at all what was promised on the menu. Very small portion, not enough for a dinner. I do not recommend.

Worst service Leon could ever provide，so many people in the kitchen and still very long time to prepare the food. Moreover, two staffs behind the counter obviously has no idea what they should do, really bad work ethic, one of them are chatting with people for 10 minutes and ignoring the long queue of customers waiting to make order. I personally like Leon, just everywhere else, not this one.

Really very bad food chicken tough wrap sour really very nasty

Light bite while waiting for check in

I can’t recommend it. The chicken in the burger tasted super weird, and after inspecting it further, I could see it wasn’t properly cooked. Also, the potato wedges tasted old. But in all fairness, the Vegan Aoli was great. I’m not a fan of bad reviews, but this is unacceptable

Nice with a healthier food alternative in the airport. Service was very slow and staff seemed not to care.

I always thought this place was really popular due to the large line that I always see when I walk by it at the food plaza in schipol: unfortunately once I decided to try it, as I was early for my flight and had a lot of time to lose, I realised that the reason for the crowd was not the deliciousness of its food, but the fact that Leon is truly understaffed. Yes, the food is okay and sort of cheap (I suspect due to shrinkflation, given that the “large” salad was served in a small coffee paper cup and the burger was about the size of my fist), however it is not outstanding compared to its neighbors La Place and Burger King, and they have a much smoother order and pay process: for most of my 40 minute wait (quite long for a place that brands itself as “fast food”), only one person was both taking and preparing the orders, which resulted not only in longer waiting times, but also in some mistakes in preparing the order itself (wrong burgers, items missing, etc). If I was management, I’d consider either hiring more staff or installing order totems to make the process more smooth.

Disappointingly small and flat. Nothing to do with what the image advertises. I can't believe I paid 9.50€ for this tiny burger. I should have gone to Burger King and gotten a double XXL for that price. What a joke!

Waited for 15 mins only to be told that they were out of most ingredients. They desperately need more staff and proper training

Sloooooooo moooooootion service. Omg, how slow can you serve. It’s not fastfood, it’s slow food. Don’t order here if you are in a hurry. Or have normal persons expectations on speed of service.

The muffin halloumi was great. Coffee was ok. Staff borderline rude. They need a customer facing training to ensure they are polite and friendly.

We queued for 20 minutes in a long queue, all i wanted was some chicken nuggets and two chips for my brother and i. Once we got to the front of the queue, we realised once people had ordered they were still waiting ages for their food. And there was only two people taking orders. We finally arrived to the woman taking orders- only to find out from her that there was no more fries or chicken nuggets at all (there was sold out signs for other foods yet none for these) She also lacked any sympathy at all about the situation and merely told us we could have an aubergine curry if we wanted. Never vist!!!

Worst place ever takes ages uncoordinated food expensive and cold...go to BK

Waiting for next plane we neede som food, at Leons the Food was hardy varm, and has probably been on the stove all day. I can. It recomedn annonce to eatat Leon in Schippol airport. Per
