In a city like Memphis where there almost as many barbecue restaurants as there are churches, these restaurants now take on a rich history all their own. In business since 1922, Leonard's has undergone a lot of changes. From starting as a seven stool eatery downtown to becoming the largest drive-in barbecue business in the world in the '50s, Leonard's still continues to play an active part in serving the Mid-South's barbecue lovers. From the moment diners enter Leonard's, newspaper clippings treat them to as much history as the waiter treats them to finger-licking barbecue. Featuring a barbecue buffet in addition to their menu offerings, its no wonder why Leonard's has continued to find a place in barbecue lovers hearts. -- Christa Michaels

    In 1966 I was a city policeman who met and dated a gal' from Concrete,Wa. who was working at First National Bank on Second St.. Many of our dates involved going to Leonard's ( the old location ). The food was always delicious, and still is. It was, and is, a great company, if you can refer to a restaurant as such. I hope there will always be a Leonard's for the new 'lovers'. We married in may 1967 Good luck to good people and their good food. In short, God Bless.

    Corky's for a great BBQ sandwich or the plate with great beans, slaw and rolls. A no-brainer.

    Dry ribs? Nobody in the U.S. beats The Rendevous.

    If you want great BBQ, don't go to a buffet or to a place that also sells fish or anything similar.
