Leroy and Lewis Barbecue

The brisket, the flat iron, and beef cheeks were very very good, definitely the best on the menu. Oh, and the burger - delicious. The sausage too was pretty tasty, better than average. Everything else? A little overhyped, like the Barbacoa. The cornbread was okay, the chili was comforting but not special, I liked the salad and the beef tallow chips, but not something to go way out of your way for but definitely order them with the meal. I liked the dessert with the pecans the most.

Friday at 4:45 pm was an awesome time to arrive. A reasonable selection of meats was still available and the line was about 10 minutes. Excellent service for getting dessert later. High quality meats and unusual sides. The tritip was superb. I didn’t love the chicken, but I guess it is tough to make chicken memorable. The sausage was great. My favorite was Terry Black’s, but I think this place edges it out.

Finally made it down to Leroy and Lewis bbq with my partner in food crime - my husband! Note to all: if you go on Saturday, it gets VERY crowded!! The bad news - it was a 2 hr wait on the line for the traditional barbecue options. The good news - we could go to the anytime menu area (either bar, or ordering area midway through the restaurant. We chose the anytime because we were hungry! We ordered the onion rings, Hog Fat Cornbread, L&L burger (1/2lb brisket), and banana pudding tiramisu (for a to-go dessert). Onion rings were good, light buttermilk batter, with an alabama white sauce (horseradish type of heat). They do tend to fall apart - so keep a napkin handy! Hubs loved the cornbread - very crumbly, but moist, with a sprinkle of sea salt on top. It's made from BSM hopi blue cornmeal - so it's BLUE! Burgers were very tasty and not packed - so less dense. I prefer mine cooked more than rare, but Jake was helping us out in many ways (so good about my food restrictions also!) - and got me a new burger cooked more toward the medium side! It had sautéed onions on top - very tasty! Hubs loved the burger also! I have to mention Jake again - SUCH a nice guy and so helpful! We mentioned that we had really wanted to try the beef cheeks, but no way were we waiting on the line (NOTE: do get there when they open if going on a weekend!). He actually brought us three pieces to try!!! And it was so moist, smoky, tender, and well seasoned! We were just amazed at how helpful the staff are! The dessert? Jeff gave it two thumbs up! The pudding definitely had the banana punch - and an extra flavor..either vanilla or banana extract. Overall - great Q and four thumbs up!!

It is definitely Michelin star worthy. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, and the place was neat and clean. We arrived at 10, for an 11 am open, and were first in line!!!! With getting there early! The line moved quickly, for those waiting. Unique sides that were great! Didn’t have dessert, we were foo full!

I was in town visiting a friend, and someone suggested we try Leroy and Lewis Barbeque. I expected a local hole-in-the-wall spot with good BBQ. Then I pulled up and saw the newer, fancy signage and realized this place has a Michelin Star. Wow. I never thought brisket, barbacoa, and BBQ could reach that level. The service was great the whole time. Yes, it is pricey at about $46 per pound for brisket, but the food and the experience felt worth it. Even after eating brisket, I could not pass up the daily special: a $10 brisket burger to go. It was the best $10 hamburger I have ever had. Our friend said the line is usually out the door on weekends. We went on a Monday, so there was no big wait, but the parking lot was still full. The ordering is simple: you pick what you want, how much you want, then order by the pound and add sides. I am sharing a few photos and a video to help show the vibe, the friendliness, and what to expect. It is also awesome that they started as a food truck in 2017 and grew into a Michelin Star restaurant.

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, but their tri tip was super juicy and packed with incredible flavor. The LG burger is a must, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and unforgettable. The entire experience was made even better by the amazing staff. Huge thanks to Allison and Mathias for explaining everything on the menu and helping us choose the best options. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. You can really feel the passion and hospitality here. Can’t wait to come back!

We came here straight after work on a Thursday. There was no line so we were able to order straight away and our food was out in 10 minutes. We had the chicken fried steak which was delicious! The gravy and fry on the steak were both seasoned really well and the steak had a nice crisp on it. We had the German Cobbler and Banana Pudding tiramisu desserts. The cobbler was just too salty so it was a confusing eat, but the Banana pudding tiramisu was heavenly. We also had the cornbread app and it was super good; it came with a nice bacon butter that complemented it well. The atmosphere is nice and open, pretty no frills but I appreciate that food is the focus.

Deserves a top ranking for best BBQ in Texas. The beef cheek and flat iron are standouts that are worth getting there early to ensure you get it. Brisket was fantastic as well. The sides are a standout as well. The miso glazed carrot was delectable. Frito pie takes me back to youth. Kimchi is a great way to cut the fatty, unctuous meats. Everything was well balanced. Kudos all around.
