Leonard's Pit Barbecue is a Memphis institution. The first one opened in 1922, and although that location is no longer open, the tradition is alive and well in its current home. Here are photos of part of the interior:
I had the small bbq plate, which comes with beans and fries:
The Husband had a large bbq sandwich with a side order of shoestring fries, and The Younger Son had a large bbq sandwich with a side order of wedge fries. I had Coke, The Husband had iced tea, and The Younger Son had water. You can read the menu here. Our total was around $25 before tip, so this is quite reasonable. The service was fast and pleasant. It had been years since we had been here, but the bbq was so good! We'll start going there more often now that we've remembered it. It says a lot about Memphis that there is so much good barbecue here that great restaurants fall off our radar.
Please join the weekly T Tuesday party hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth. Today our hostess is sharing homemade pumpkin bread and jasmine tea. Yummmm...

ReplyDeleteI´ll come just to see the car that resides indoors! Happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that they have a truck inside! I love BBQ but we don't have it very often...no one else in the family is as big of fan as me. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like a hearty meal in very nice surroundings.

You know I like my BBQ...*grin* I've always wanted to come to your neck of the woods and have some original BBQ.
ReplyDeleteThe interior is very interesting and the food looks good.........but those fries are huge!!!
Thanks for visiting this week
Happy T-day

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place to dine and your food looks yummy! Happy T Day :D
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Even this vegetarian would go for this. I remember when KC was the bbq capital. But I think Memphis probably has it beat. BTW, those fries look simply out of this world. Now I want some. May have to make my own. After all, I have a french fry (potato) press.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful atmosphere that accompanied this place. And thanks for sharing your food and drinks with us for T this Tuesday.
BTW, I haven't been around like I would like, because I've had keyboard and mouse problems. Finally got the keyboard to work, but not the mouse.
The food looks delicious and the price is indeed reasonable.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day
I'm sure that the BBQ is good, but oh my, it's those potato wedge fries that are calling my name. They look great. Happy T Day! :)

Hello and Happy T Day! This looks so good, I love bbq and don't get it as often as I'd like, no one else here likes it. I like that they give you different kinds of fries too. The price for it was a good deal, definitely worth going back again and again.
