Been going here for a few years on and off. Love the food it has amazing flavor and great taste. I would highly recommend if you have the time and want so amazing bbq go in and have a bite. The owner is always nice and has a great personality. Never a bad day when you feel like you've been friends with the owner since the first day. He remembers customers even when we don't come in for months on end.Parking: Great space for parking lots of spotsKid-friendliness: Nice kid friendly environment.Wheelchair accessibility: Normal wheelchair accessibility

Closed early for some reason? Didn't get a chance to try it ?

Mr. Love runs and owns this place all alone. He makes everything from scratch except the pickles, bread or chips. My bf and I went to lunch today and each had the 3 meat combo with two sides for less than $19 together. I got the ribs, brisket, hot links (they're housemade too), baked beans and chips. The ribs were the best I've ever tasted in my life. LITERALLY EVER. The owner shared with us that the leftover meat all goes into the beans and they were damn near life-changing. I tried the hot bbq sauce and it was just perfect. My bf had pulled pork, brisket and ribs with cole slaw and potato salad. It was Carolina cole slaw which I prefer to other variations. The potato salad was absolute perfection, just like your memom always made (if you're from the south). Everything was perfect. Mr. Love shared that he supports his two daughters and if they need something, he closes his restaurant and takes care of them. He also closes when he runs out of food. I'm don't know how we got so lucky that he still had so many options at 2pm in the afternoon on a Saturday, but we did. At that point, he was out of chicken and turkey, so a return visit is in order. As others have mentioned, it is cash only. You'll leave perfectly satisfied but not heavy or feeling sick. It is absolutely perfect and Mr. Love will give you clear directions. He's not your usual restaurant owner and manager but he may be the best in his unique way.

Do not make the drive from Wichita! I live 5 miles from this place and won’t be back. I’ve tried to go 4 times over the last year (usually early 1-2pm) and they have either been closed or out of food. Today was the last straw. Got there at 2:30 to find out cash only which was no problem as there is a cash machine near by. The owner stated “go get some cash and I’ll treat you and your wife to the best bbq meal you’ve ever had!” When we returned 10 minutes later from getting cash from the atm, the same guy looked at me like he’d never seen me before and said he was all out of food. So much for the “best bbq meal”. Keeps unprofessional hours and lied to my face. I will not be back.

Do not make the drive from Wichita. I have attempted this place 4 times over last year and each time they were closed or out of food hours before posted closing time (4pm). Today was the last time I will make an attempt. My wife and I arrived 2 hours before closing to find out no brisket and cash only... no big deal. The owner introduced himself and said "go get cash and then I'll serve you and your wife the best bbq meal you've ever had". As the cash machine was directly across the street this was no big deal. BUT!! When we got back 10 minutes later, the same guy looked at me like he had never seen me before and said he was out of EVERYTHING! So much for the "best bbq meal" id ever have. Due to erratic hours, dirty interior, and unprofessional behavior of owner, we won't be back.

Le-J's is an amazing quintessential American experience. The Barbeque prepared by the proprietor, Jeffery, has utilized family recipes, family tools, and created a product that is absolutely sublime. The brisket, a challenging product to get right, melts in your mouth. The ribs are delightfully good, except that they are always gone too soon.10/10 we will be back.

Dear Sir I Wasn't Going To Do This,Until You Said Best Barbeque..Anyway Your BbQ Gave My Wife And I The Flying ?s! Secondly If You Are Going To Be Bragging And Boasting About Your?itty BBq At Least Sale More Meat And Less Bread. Your Baked Beans Had More Brisket That Your Minced Bbq Sandwich.I Am Not At All Satisfied ? On Top Of Everything Thing Else We Tipped You...Before You Talk Best BBq You Should Take A Few Pointers From Lyndon BbQ In Houston Texas! Now They Know How To Make Some Brisket.. Your BbQ Sauce Can Use A Little More Of Sauce And Less Water...Lastly When You Said Cash Only That Was My Q To Keep Going,But Since You Were A Look A Like I Had To Give You A Shot At The Title That You So Call Claimed.lmao. Sir You Failed Miserably...Thanks For The Flying ?s And Minced Meat Sandwiches.. Yours Truly,Damon?? ??????
