Good solid bbq with a nice atmosphere. The chorizo sausage is really good! They have brisket only on Saturday.

We ran over to Leroy and Lewis at 11am after Franklins sold out before even opening. The line was out the door, but just barely. Within 15 minutes, it was wrapping around the corner! Someone frequently came down the line with menus, water, and to take drink orders. By 12:30, we had our food and easily snatched a table outside.They only have brisket on Saturdays so we got the sliced beef (+ extra) and beef barbacoa (Sunday special) with the Kale Caesar Slaw and pork hash and rice. The pork was not what I was expecting and not my style, but my husband enjoyed it. The slaw was very good! We loved the sliced beef - it's one cut below brisket so it doesn't fall apart, but is still super tender. The barbacoa was good, but we wouldn't order it again.We also got the L&L burger and it was fabulous with an amazing pepper crust.Probably my favorite part about this place (aside from the wonderful service) is that they source their meats locally ❤️

I loved their trailer and I'm so proud of them. Everything we got was amazing. I highly recommend The barbecue and the sausage, but the desserts are also great.

Delicious beef cheeks, great drinks, friendly staff. The only complaint is that my stomach wasn't big enough to finish the entire 2 meat plate. Will come again!

Sorry to say, we weren't very impressed with the side dishes. The chopped beef sandwich was very good, but a little small for the price. The chori-papas (chorizo and potatoes) were pretty oily and more like a chorizo stew with small bits of potatoes. We were expecting potatoes with touches of chorizo. It looked more like chili and was too rich for more than 2 or 3 bites. The kale salad was good and so was an arugula salad we ordered. The pork/ rice side was also very rich. The service was very friendly, and there were plenty of tables available even though there was a line of people. Parking was a bit tight.

We recently saw on social media and went there today. I truly enjoy bbq but this is definitely not on my return to destination. We ordered two 2 meat plates along with 2 sides per plate. We wanted to sample various offerings. No brisket or ribs, not a good sign but we were already in line. Beef offerings of chuck steak and what they claimed was flat iron (not sure on that based on the meat on the cutting borad). Smoked chicken was good, beef chorizo was good. Sides of frito pie ( bit spicy), chori-papas, chips and hash. Pass on all the side offerings. No potato salad??? We also ordered a burger with onion rings. Probably the best thing we had but we went for bbq. Not the traditional bbq but at least we tried it. We went to Morenos for pork belly. Needed to get some bbq.

Make Leroy and Lewis another Austin destination you cannot miss while in town. I have to say, go there for the kimchi. It is outstanding. The bbq is also fantastic. I loved everything I had and cannot wait to go back. Thankfully, my brother now lives in Austin, so will have to blow into town and pester him just so I can go to Leroy and Lewis.

Food was great and the staff were exceptionally friendly/welcoming and super helpful to make sure we understood the menu and even gave us some great suggestions for what to try (eg. The charred carrot which was great).
Absolute knock out of a BBQ place in austin. I went to the the actual restaurant itself and found out there is a food truck that got them where they are now. My bartender Kiki was fantastic. Pulled pork sandwich was unlike anything I've ever had I will definitely make sure to always come back when I visit austin
Normally never leave review.. but this place rocks and deserves it. Friendly Staff, proper Texas BBQ and great place to be. Can't wait to be back again soon!

First time visiting the new brick and mortar. The new sliced beef options are delicious! The smoked flat iron was better than the brisket I've had at most other joints. The sliced chuck steak was an unexpected favorite. Really good! I also got an L&L burger just to confirm that it's still awesome. I'm happy to report, it's still as good as ever!

Nestled in the bustling city of Austin, Texas, Leroy and Lewis BBQ offers a unique twist on traditional barbecue that leaves an indelible mark on the palate of anyone fortunate enough to visit. This review delves into the culinary experience provided by this establishment, highlighting the exceptional dishes that make it a must-visit destination.Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the enticing aroma of smoked meats, a signature trait of Leroy and Lewis BBQ. The flatiron and sausage combo platter is a testament to the eatery's commitment to flavor and quality. The beef, smoked to perfection, boasts a distinct smoky flavor that is both robust and refined. The sausage—a harmonious blend of lamb and pork—is further enhanced by the sharp, creamy notes of gorgonzola, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the tongue.The pork hash and rice offer a comforting balance to the meal, with the Texas red chili frito pie adding a delightful crunch and a kick of spice that complements the smokiness of the meats. It's a dish that embodies the spirit of Texas cuisine—bold, inventive, and unapologetically indulgent.For those who favor pork, the pulled whole hog platter is a standout choice. The meat is tender, flavorful, and expertly prepared, capturing the essence of what makes barbecue a culinary art form. It's a dish that resonates with the soul, reminding one of the simple pleasures of dining.Despite the establishment's popularity, the wait is surprisingly manageable, a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the staff. The online menu provides ample opportunity to ponder the vast array of mouthwatering options, ensuring that each guest can tailor their meal to their liking.It's not necessary to be a barbecue connoisseur to recognize the exceptional quality of the fare at Leroy and Lewis BBQ. The flavors speak for themselves, leaving a lasting impression that defines what delicious truly means. The experience is one of pure gastronomic joy, a sentiment echoed by many who have had the pleasure of dining there.Leroy and Lewis BBQ stands as a beacon of culinary excellence in Austin. It's a place where tradition and innovation converge, resulting in an unforgettable dining experience. For anyone visiting the area, it comes highly recommended—a sentiment shared by this reviewer and countless others who have discovered the magic of this barbecue haven.

Beef cheeks were flavorful, though a little dry. I personally didn't like the brisket that much here, it was still decent. I liked their sides. The burger was excellent. There are definitely better bbq options in Austin, but this burger was def one of my favorites.
