The owner Mike is fabulous. I’m from NC and I know barbecue. Mike has been well educated on bbq and brisket. He has hand cut fries too. If this man upsets you then you are too sensitive or have not been taught to speak to an adult male of his generation. We love you Mike.
I’ve been going to J and T for awhile now and they have been consistently serving up great BBQ 🍗 and great customer service. 10/10 if you’re looking for good food and good people look no further

We recently visited J & T Smokehouse in Leesburg after seeing the glowing reviews—and let me tell you, they weren’t exaggerating. As long-time locals and serious barbecue lovers, we’ve tried just about every spot in town. This one stands out in every category.
The moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine Lake County Florida hospitality. The service was prompt and kind, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The meats? Smoked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and deeply satisfying.
But the real revelation was the sauce. Both the house barbecue and the mustard-based sauce were masterfully balanced. They delivered a perfect kick across the palate—hitting all the right notes on the tongue, bold without being overpowering, and full of character. It’s a rare craft to get that right, and they nailed it.
And the sides—especially the baked beans—tasted like Christmas in a bowl. Sweet, savory, and spiced just right. Every element of the meal felt intentional and elevated.
J & T Smokehouse is the real deal. If you’re in or near Leesburg, do yourself a favor and stop in. We’ll absolutely be back for more.

Hands down best bbq around. The brisket was perfect! Great friendly wonderful staff. If you want bbq this is the place! My wife had the chopped pork, I got to finish it too so that was a happy bonus. This will be my go to anytime I’m craving bbq. A+++.
Jennifer Dierks
Absolutely delicious! The chopped pork was tender and packed with flavor, and the potato salad and coleslaw were both outstanding—fresh, creamy, and the perfect balance to the meal. Beyond the food, I really appreciated the atmosphere. The Christian music playing, the Bible up front, and the warm hug I received made it feel like more than just a restaurant—it felt like home. We will definitely be back!
