LD's BBQ for lunch today... Hoochie Mama! Brisket and pulled pork sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and the side of creamy potato salad complimented it perfectly. There are very few smokehouses where I enjoy the brisket more than the pulled pork, but this is certainly one. Shelled out the extra $2.50 for the smoked sausage to split with my wife... it tasted like summer. Good investment! My only regret is that they do not serve fresh brewed iced tea. For me, this is a must at an excellent smokehouse. read more

Picked up some Brisket and Pulled Chicken and it was phenomenal! It shouldn't surprise me because this is, without a doubt, one of the best BBQ restaurants in the country. It's inside an old Burger King, check out the handles on the outside doors, but totally made over to a welcoming, family friendly, place to go. The staff is always amazing! They are there to help make your experience that much better. Do yourself a favor and turn this place, you will not be disappointed. read more

Although there was long line when we arrived, they work quickly to get food out. The feel is more fast food. With a fast food style que, self serve sodas and seating yourself. But the quality is amazing. And even with a $3 up charge for Mac n cheese as a side, I feel it was worth every penny. I will definitely get the Mac n cheese again, it was delicious. But I need to try another sandwich. Pulled pork was fantastic but there's so much else to try. I should have done the three meet sandwich for a little taste of it all read more

I stopped by on an evening. There was a line. Most of the folks were taking out food. I was there for the brisket. But it was over. But they still had the option to add brisket to mac and cheese. I went for that. Seems this brisket is fattier than the brisket sold on its own. It tasted real good. I also went for a half chicken. That was good. Probably brisket is the only reason I would go again to this place. read more

This is a place I am always willing to drive for. It's ~45 min from where I live and it's 1000% worth it. The brisket and ribs are perfectly cooked every time, the corn bread is delicious and slightly sweet, and the mac and cheese is so ooey goey you won't regret ordering it. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant gives the perfect BBQ vibe (seat yourself, multiple sauce options, and fitting decor). The staff are always so friendly too! One of these days I'll make it there for their burnt ends and I'm also looking forward to the mobile location they are launching! read more

Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. This place gets really busy quick, so it's highly recommended to get here when they open. We arrived about 15 minutes before opening, and by the time we got our food and sat down, the line to order wrapped around the dining room. Weather permitting, we suggest you grab a picnic table outside as the line inside wrapped so far around the place that people standing in line could be standing next to your table. We ordered the Super Sampler, which includes brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, a hot link, and 4 sides! For our sides, we got Cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad and corn bread. We also ordered a half order of rib tips which came with two more sides. The menu says the Super Sampler is enough for 2+, and we agree. It was too much for two people. The brisket was tender and delicious, and the ribs were absolutely wonderful. The chicken was juicy and tasty, and the pulled pork equally delicious. The side are excellent, with the beans being a particular highlight. Just the right amount of sweetness. Bottom line, this place is a rock place for all things bbq. We'll be back! read more

All around excellent service! The food was amazing. Definitely going back.i don't even care that they are located a 1000 miles away!

We enjoyed another fantastic tasting lunch at LDs BBQ today, but be forewarned that due to ROAD Construction it's a little challenging finding a route to get into the massive parking lot. Be sure to check your gps and follow the detour signs, or go through the subdivisions and parking lots of neighboring businesses. I ordered a 1/4 chicken white meat, a 1/4 rack of ribs, potato salad and coleslaw. The ribs and chicken were perfectly seasoned which didn't require any additional sauce but there are 4 different flavors to choose from. Also the chicken breast was juicy, which means that the owner, knows how to smoke foods properly. I had to take the potato salad home because the portions are plentiful, Stop in and try this place out, it's worth the trip. There's plenty of napkins and take out bags for leftovers. YES! I will return to this restaurant. read more

LD's BBQ - 1/4 chicken, white meat; 1/4 rack of ribs; coleslaw and potato salad. Yum - Barbeque Near Me - East Troy, Wisconsin

Great BBQ joint with delicious sauces and staple selection of meats. I got the 1/2 rack of ribs and it was a ton of food, almost seemed like 3/4 or full rack elsewhere. All four sauces were good and somewhat similar to each other with varying levels of tangy-ness. They don't have an official kids menu, but the small mac and cheese is a good choice or you can order any of the "by the pound" meats in 1/4lb increments for smaller tummies. read more

The food is great as always. But to spend $40 on the super sampler and get all the way home 40 minutes to Milwaukee and find out they didn't give you any BBQ sauce is pretty disappointing. Especially when you realize you also have no BBQ sauce at home! read more

Best BBQ in southeastern wisconsin. Period. The owner is a great guy who provides awesome customer service. It is very difficult to find good BBQ in Wisconsin, and this place transports you to the South. A rare 5 star review being handed out to LD's. read more

Very very good BBQ. It's all about the sauces! All the meat was cooked perfectly. Wonderfully tender and juicy. The Smokey taste of hickory and mesquite adorn the meat. Plenty of sides to choose from, and a large beverage menu. Prices are a little high, but considering the economy, is understandable. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall, a very great experience. Definitely a return trip! read more

Just finished watching Project Hail Mary. While my intention was to get the brisket (they were out), I realized my purpose was to get the pulled pork sandwich. Totally the boss! #bosssauce read more

Outstanding bbq at reasonable prices. Tried the brisket sandwich and some chicken. Both were great I would not hesitate to come back and may even make the hour plus drive as a destination place. They do run out of some things but there is plenty to choose from. Run, don't walk here! read more

I got a four meat sampler platter and all the meats were top notch. Brisket, ribs, chicken and homemade sausage. Four types of LD's brand BBQ sauces at the table to try. I bought a bottle of LD's Original to bring home. read more

I came with a group of 8 people and we were thrilled with the menu and choices, but, the description of the rib tips was misleading. Instead of the rib tips being solid meat, I believe as it is stated, there are bone-like rubbery cartilage pieces that do not lend themselves to enjoyable eating. A person has to constantly fiddle with the rib pieces and that is a pain in the butt. The rest of the items we ordered were wonderful. I'd like to see the "Rib Tips" description changed to reflect that the eater will be dealing with troublesome cartilage pieces. read more

2nd time at LD's and it did not disappoint! We tried the pulled pork sandwiches and the brisket chili. The pulled pork was tender and tasty and is served with a nice fresh bun. Good portion size too! We also tried the sides of potato salad, coleslaw, mac n cheese, baked beans with corn bread. The best side was the bake beans that had a nice smoky flavor. The potato salad was pretty good, coleslaw was just ok, corn bread was very moist and delicious. The Mac and cheese was rather bland but we added some of the table bbq sauces to jazz it up. It was great to have 4 different bbq sauces at the table to try. All were very good from mild, sweet and tangy, smoky, and spicy! The brisket chili was amazing with nice big chunks of brisket with a smooth smoky flavor. We stopped in on Sunday afternoon and it was packed! I can see why when the food is so delicious! Highly recommend LD's BBQ if you're ever in East Troy. read more

I heard that LDs BBQ was the best! I was deeply disappointed. I got the rib tip dinner. The rib tips were tough and very salty. Perhaps the reason for all the salt is the smoking, I don't know. The baked beans had a strange sweet taste, the mac and cheese had a twisted noodle which made it more pasta than cheese. The potato salad was good, which was the only thing good I can say. I tried to give my dinner to a friend who tasted it and passed on it, so it wasn't just me. I drove 45 minutes for this "great" BBQ but am going back to Jericho's Taste Me Good BBQ, which is grilled and not smoked and his sides are really good. Well, I am going to continue searching for great BBQ!!! read more

So glad this place expanded a few years ago and offers great BBQ. It is our go to spot. The pulled chicken is fall apart juicy delicious. The cornbread is also a must try. Their food is delicious and reasonably priced. We have done larger orders for carry out or hosting parties and it always is a win. They have a variety of sauces as well. Highly recommend! read more

I once loved this place. I no longer love this place: chicken was dry, brisket was tough, ribs looked and tasted old.

This place is delicious. The best Barbecue I have found on Wisconsin so far. There is literally always a line here for a reason. They also have a terrific variety of sauces and all are good. My gosh-to is the Mac n Cheese with chicken. It seems like a weird thing to get, but it is so frickin good I am drooling just thinking about it. My partner usually gets brisket which he says is excellent. I think this is the 10th time we have visited and we live almost 40 minutes away. That should tell you something. We dropped our daughter off at Girl Scout Camp and then immediately headed to LDs. read more

Very good food and reasonably priced, smoked sausage links are really good, sandwiches are filling.

Long line, had the chicken and pork which was were excellent. Banana cream pudding was good but maybe not as good as everyone says. They did not give me any bbq sauce with my take out order however read more

The ribs were great and the sauces even better! A little pricey but worth the 40 minute drive. Their cornbread was also very good

Amazing food and atmosphere. Leon is truly the pillar of the community and has been for years for his restaurant. The food was fresh and amazing and I really can't wait to stop by again. read more

Wife and I were coming home from Madison and stopped here for lunch a week ago. We've eaten here a few times before, finding the food generally very good and learning to avoid the summer fly problem, both inside and out. This recent visit however was a big disappointment. Continuing to be very good, were the rib tips, pulled pork, baked beans, and corn bread. The let downs were the ribs as the rub was way too salty, to the point I stopped eating them and threw the rest out!!The mac n' cheese lacked enough cheese flavor. Fortunately, the rib tips didn't get the same high dose of the salty rub!! So, there are still some entrees and sides we like. But throwing out food is something we rarely do!! Hoping for more edible and consistent quality! read more

Best barbecue anywhere, great mac and cheese . He makes some really good specials and don't forget he's a really nice man ..nice facility

Simply outstanding. I've been burned by other counter BBQ places across the country, but this one didn't disappoint. We ordered the super sampler that pretty much gave use the entire barnyard. Great smoke flavor and nothing was dry. Definitely worth the drive to East Troy. read more

Quite the meat. Amazing people working. I got the meat Mac and cheese, man, tasted like some real pork. For sure coming back read more

Heard this was a good place to stop for BBQ. So on our way home we decided to give it a try. Seating was decent and service was courteous. Sadly when it came to the food we were not impressed. The pulled pork was lukewarm and dripping so much it made the bottom bun soggy. The coleslaw was very liquid like and the flavor profile was not to my liking. The beans seemed bland. And the Mac and cheese noodles seemed undercooked and harder than other Mac and cheese I have had. read more

Good food. Best BBQ I've had in a long time. Best Mac and cheese dinner ever! The ribs were falling off the bone. Good consistency. Great price as well. Cookies are so gooey and just the right of sugary. :) read more

I have been wanting to try out this place. I kind of had high expectations. What a disappointment. I got the beef brisket by the lb to go. Large Mac and cheese. And a banana pudding. She asked if I wanted BBQ sauce, which I guess would be assumed If you ask me. They have two kinds mild and one with heat. I asked for mild I got home ready to dig in. Open the beef and it looked dry, tried a bite and totally disappointed. Very dry and not a lot of flavor. Ok let's dunk it in the BBQSauce. She gave me one little to go container for a lb of meat?? Really??? Mac and cheese was decent. Huge noodles. I felt it could of been a bit saucier Banana pudding was the best of the three items we got!! Sadly $30 down the drain. read more

Ok, it's about time I write a review for Leon's. Not the custard place in Milwaukee, but the BBQ joint out in East Troy, owned by Leon Davis! I'm no BBQ aficionado, but LD's is some finger-lickin', lip-smackin' good BBQ; everything from pulled pork, chicken and beef brisket to ribs, meatloaf and burnt ends! He's got mac n cheese, potato salad, corn bread, cole slaw, and ribs n beans for sides, and banana pudding for dessert! The servings here are no joke. I rarely get a dinner, because I can't finish it in one sitting. Sandwiches are equally difficult. Leftovers are delicious, but they mysteriously disappear in the middle of the night at my house....... My go-to sandwich is the McFarland. For $2 more than their regular sandwiches, I get two meats (pork and chicken) and 50% more of them! I'm always asked if I want sauce on it (LD's does NOT sauce stuff, allowing YOU to make the call of what kind and how much) and I always opt for the zippy sauce. Don't get me wrong, the meats naked are delicious, but the zippy sauce puts that little extra tang in there. At the table, there are usually 3 types of sauce for you to add as you wish. I end up slathering my sandwich in sauce because it doesn't sink down to the bottom layers of meat....so good! I normally get corn bread for my side. LDs' is light, sweet and moist. Occasionally I'll get the ribs n beans, but to me, they have that weird, burnt grill taste to them. The banana pudding is crazy good and often too much for me to finish, but it is just the right finisher to all that BBQ! So, take a nice, easy drive out to East Troy. It's not as far as you think it is, and the reward at the end is worth it. Leon might even be around, handing out random pieces of meat to everyone! 44/2018 read more

We stopped here for lunch after taking a trolley ride at the East Troy Electric Railroad, and we were so glad we did! The BBQ, slow cooked daily over oak wood, is really delicious! I had the mouth-watering pulled pork sandwich with a side of tasty coleslaw. The serving was generous with lots of meat. You order at the counter from the friendly employees and take it to your table (inside or outside). We've been to many great BBQ places around the country, and this was among the best! read more
