THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Original Leon's Bar-B-Q Restaurant Review:


Leon's is takeout only---no delivery, no tables---but that doesn't deter people from queuing up to place orders. Slabs of spareribs---mahogany in color, substantial in size---roll in and out of the huge cooker/smoker that takes up most of the kitchen area, and the smell alone is enough to make you swoon. We have never met a rib here that we didn't like. From one end of the slab to the other, these are meaty, juicy ribs, bathed in a hot sauce, mild sauce or mixture. The chicken wings are good, too, but we've had better hot links.
