Barbecue
The Michelin Guide's review
LeRoy and Lewis BBQ began as a food truck in 2017. Today, plumes of smoke wafting from several trailers envelope the expansive building in a sweet haze. This handsome restaurant has a midcentury-inspired feel with its glazed brick exterior and open, peaked dining area. The menu expands on traditional barbecue and offers a wide range of smoked meats alongside tacos, sandwiches and specials. First timers should stand in line and think outside the traditional box of brisket and beef rib. Instead, lean into superb, snappy sausages, melting barbacoa and smoked, whole hog pork. Sides also show a creative touch, including grain-bowl salad, miso-glazed carrots, and red chili frito pie. Still hungry? The banana pudding tiramisu is a clever riff.
