Leonard's Pit Barbecue - Memphis

I think this is the best place for a quick lunch! They have a huge buffet with any kind of vegies you could want and have a lot of kinds of BBQ and chicken to choose from. When I'm in the downtown area this is where I eat! Atmosphere is like a cafe, quiet, and relaxed.

Ribs are small, but meaty! Nice rub and very tasty. Not overcooked. There?s something about Memphis ribs. No one seems to take the silver back off! So far, every slab I?ve gotten has that membrane still on it! Never seen that and I can say I?m not a fan. It kind of gets in the way! Oh well. The ribs are sticking together but have a nice pull. Not too tight. The sauce is a little thin but has a surprising taste. It?s not spicy but tangy. And rich. Maybe a little coffee? Idon?t drink it, so I?m guessing. As for the sides, the slaw is ground! Wow! It?s very fine and sweet. Then sour. Then a vinegar aftertaste. Very easy to eat! The baked beans have pulled pork in them. Very good. Still sweet but rich tasting.Lots of pork in the beans. Very tasty.

Called ahead and they said their credit card machine was broken but were open until 2. So we went and got cash, showed up at 12:45, and they said they decided to close early. What a joke. The parking lot area is also sketchy. We went a short way down the road to the Three Little Pigs barbecue and it was 5 stars outstanding. Go there instead.

Server was friendly but food came out super slow despite the fact it wasn't busy. Caveat though, was definitely worth the wait. The ribs were fantastic. Got them dry. The seasoning was great and they were fall off the bone tender. Beans and bread were also delicious.

Extremely inviting and friendly staff . Everything we got was delicious but the ribs were a bit overdone and dry , good on flavor though .
