Leroy and Lewis Barbecue

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.

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!!

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.
