Leo's Bar-b-q The Original

The wife and I were reviewing an episode of Triple D and decided to take a trip from Fort Smith, AR (Razorbacks) to OU territory. Absolutely excellent (more than I can say about my hogs)! It's so cool to be retired and able to get out and experience the love that went into preparing their BBQ! We'll be back!

I ordered the rib dinner with two sides, the greens and macaroni salad. I also got the hot bbq sauce and a hot link with a slice of cake. The ribs were tender, not falling off the bone but super tender which I like. The taste of the ribs were off a bit, like not really seasoned so I ate it with the sauce which was good. The hot link was bomb with the toasted bread. The greens, well, they're not mine, they had the stems in them but it taste a WHOLE lot better than the POLK House greens. NO ONE SHOULD EAT AT THE POLK HOUSE! FOOD JUST NASTY, NO TASTE! Anyway, I digress. I can tell you this, anytime I go back down there I will be ordering Leo’s hot link with the toasted bread! It’s the simple things for me. The macaroni salad, I could have done without. The service was 5 star! I would go back. The cake was good, I ate that while driving, I couldn't put it down.

I consider this place the 2nd best BBQ in the USA. I did a 100+ restaurant BBQ tour of the most touted places in the US and I loved this place. The only place I like better was Rendezvous Barbecue Memphis Tennessee. I hit all the big names in Texas, KC, St.Louis, OK, AR, MO, GA, AL and more! I am a professional chef myself, and a professional food judge. This place is a solid 10/10 for me.

They now have a drive thru! The food was amazing..hot & fresh! We ordered the Leo's special .. unfortunately they were out of brisket but were happy to substitute with extra chicken & bologna and even threw us an extra slice of cake! We appreciate the service and the wonderful food. We'll definitely be back..

The food is amazing. I got the ribs sandwich and the smell had my stomach growling on the drive home. The meat was fall off the bone and melt in your mouth tender. I got the mild sauce as well and it was amazing. My only disappointment was buying only one slice of cake. It’s so good, even if you feel full get a slice for later!

Amazing little barbecue restaurant. my wife and I enjoyed a late lunch here after a trip to the zoo. This was in fact our first time eating BBQ in Oklahoma. It was wayy better than just OK 🤓 it was amazing! Charles stopped by to say hello and make sure we were well taken care of! I love it! We will be back!
