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!

Erick Cotton
The staff were very professional. The meats didn’t taste like smoke wood. The baked beans and macaroni and cheese were awesome. Everything was delicious
ALEX SEMINOLE
Awesome food and great prices. Definitely worth the drive
BK Cash
Stopped in for lunch and the pulled pork sandwich was amazing. Large portion for the price and super tender. I don’t eat collard greens, but my wife said they were outstanding. Support local business and get some crazy-good BBQ at J&T’s today!
Stephanie Peebles
Everything we have tried has been delicious! Highly recommend.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. This is some of the best bbq I’ve had in a while. If you’re in the Leesburg or lake county area looking for great food. Look no further. Place was very clean, staff was amazing and welcoming. The service was quick and again the food was delicious. I had the barbecue chicken with baked beans and Mac and cheese. Highly recommended if your looking for great food.

I had the ribs and brisket while my wife had the dark chicken. Our sides were mac & Cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw. Yum yum. It was so good. The nicest ribs I have had in a while. My wife enjoyed the chicken, she said it tasty. People came in constantly asking for food and saying how much they enjoyed it. Go early as the bbq runs out quickly. We happen to get the last of the ribs. We enjoyed talking with the owner. Will be visiting again when back in Leesburg.
