    Visiting friends in Ocala and they suggested Big Lee's for lunch. We arrived around 2 pm and it…read morewasn't busy. The four of us ordered various meals and extra sides so we could try everything. The employees were very friendly, and when we mentioned that it was our first visit the employee taking our order made great suggestions. Service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We all enjoyed the food. Everything we ordered was excellent. There were two BBQ sauces on the table but neither was spicy. A friendly employee offered to bring spicy BBQ sauce, she brought it in a small cup and it was just spicy enough. The only issue we had was that the music was much too loud. I like music, and don't mind loud-ish music in restaurants. But this music was so loud that we couldn't even have conversation. I'm certified in hearing testing and happened to have my sound level meter with me. I checked the sound of the music and it was 94.9 decibels, which exceeds OSHA's safe limit of 85 decibels. 94.9 is a level where permanent hearing damage can occur. Besides the super loud music the rest of the visit was good. Other reviews have mentioned the blaring music as well.

    Having moved from Texas, the bar for good BBQ is set high for us. When our other Texas transplant…read morefriends invited us to sample BBQ at Big Lee's, we went with healthy skepticism...but with some anticipation as we've seen the proprietor win competitions and be featured on Triple D. He can't be besting others with less than top notch BBQ, can he? I ordered the Burnt Ends plate ($16), excited to see it on the menu since burnt ends are not always available to order in most Texas BBQ joints since they run out of it very early. My wife tried their Pulled Pork sandwich ($14) and our friends ordered the Brisket/Burnt Ends combo ($18) and a Smash Burger ($12). My wife thought the pulled pork, while tender, lacked the smoky flavor we've come to expect. She had to douse it with their mustard-based BBQ sauce, which was actually pretty good. The burnt ends were nice and tender but I would echo my wife's feedback about the meat lacking that distinctive smokiness. Additionally, I'm used to burnt ends having all that concentrated flavor and char...this one didn't have that. The prices are decent...a good value for BBQ nowadays. However, their offerings fell short of our perhaps lofty expectations. We'll have to check out other local BBQ joints to match BBQ from Salt Lick, Black's, Kreutz Market, Smitty's, and even Luling City Market...not to mention those legendary BBQ joints in Austin.

    M&M Old Hickory Smokehouse BBQ in Wildwood is the kind of place you're immediately glad you stopped…read moreat. A true hole in the wall in the best possible way. You can barely even see it from the road, and that almost makes it feel like a local secret you're lucky to stumble upon. Don't let that fool you. This place delivers. The sweet tea deserves its own shoutout. Perfectly sweet, ice cold, and exactly what you want with great BBQ. My husband ordered the brisket and it was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. I went with the pulled pork and it was just as good. Juicy, well seasoned, and clearly smoked with care. Everything about this place felt easy and comfortable, from the service to the food. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. If you're anywhere near Wildwood and craving solid, no nonsense BBQ done right, M&M Old Hickory Smokehouse is absolutely worth the stop.

Fall-off-the-bone ribs are too soft, M&M's ribs were done the right way. They offer a number of sauces, their original being the best in my opinion, a Carolina sauce, and a spicy bbq. The owner was very friendly, explained the menu. The food came out hot and quick. You order at the window and seating is outdoors in front of the restaurant, or carry out to eat at home if you can wait that long.
