Brisket was so tough and dry. I called for pickup and was so excited but didn't end up eating very much because I couldn't chew through it. The plate was mainly rice and beans which were really good. The service was quick. My food was ready when I arrived and they were very friendly over the phone. The inside is small, you order at a counter and they have a few tables inside and out. read more

Nice little place is good Smokey BBQ. My wife and I shared the Smoked platter. Brisket, chicken, beef rib. All had nice smoked flavor. The fries that came with it were delicious with a nice sauce topping read more

Hard to understand how people don't like their food. We always order for delivery and OMG they never get wrong The meat is fresh and the sauces and garlic bread are to die for People just don't understand how much takes to own a business. I feel mostly of the reviews never had really a good meal. So how can you blame them? Anyway the food of this place is fantastic and we will keep ordering over and over read more

I was craving ribs... So I stopped by for a fast lunch. I ordered their ribs, (beef only), coleslaw, and fries with Aioli sauce. They were fresh hot. I must admit I never had Aioli sauce on my freies. It was darn good.The ribs were good and plenty of it. Hot n tender, the way they should be. Coleslaw was good. I always feel Coleslaw is hard to mess up... Their signature BBQ sauce was great on the ribs. My only beef (pardon the pun) here is, I think they are over priced. It's not a fancy place with comfortable booths, etc. That's the only reason I'm not going for the fifth star. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Beef ribs, coleslaw, and fries with Aioli sauce. - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Very good Brazilian barbecue. Always good quality and consistent. I wish the hours were better but they need more marketing to get their name out! read more

First time coming here, we had the brisket, the Picanha and I have to say it's better than the anything than anything I have had in Central Florida (that I didn't make). So tasty. Brisket Coxinha ... WHAT?!?! The sides! The service! I will definitely be back. read more

Food is pretty good. I had the steak sandwich and the Leo's fries. The steak had some nice flavor and was fairly tender for the price. The fries had some parmesan cheese and aioli. I think I would've preferred the plain just with salt. It is in a fairly ru down strip mall. It doesn't look like much, but I do think they have put some money in the dining room. The guy working seemed nice and checked on me once or twice when I was eating. Note about soda. There is no fountain, only cans at almost $3 a can. If you are used just drinking with free refills, pace yourself. read more

We had the brisket sandwich and Leo's fries. Both were very good. Pulled Brisket was tender, with a good flavor. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Smoked Beef Brisket. ORDER IT!! - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I was in the mood for something hardy and delicious, walking in and seeing BBQ I thought it was just the thing. I ordered the brisket Mac and cheese, and I could say, this might be the worst Mac and cheese I've ever had lol. It was way over cooked, noodles were complete mush and had no flavor. I was expecting it to be so good. A small and local BBQ place, what could go wrong! I had high expectation and the food looked good when I saw them making it, but what a disappointment. Would not come back.... Also a 4% fee added to all credit card orders. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - a box of macaroni and cheese - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

The food is great! Portions are good size. The collard greens were the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese was also top notch; not a small styrofoam cup with some macaroni and velveeta in it. Can't say enough good about it. read more

Wow. Picanha steak and fries are top notch. Steak is cooked perfectly and buttery. Fries include Parmesan and an aioli. Comfort food 10/10. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Picanha and fries, decent amount of the steak eaten before photo - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I love the food. It is a bit pricey. This place just rebranded and their food is amazing. I would eat here much more often if the prices came down a bit. Not enough food for the high price IMO. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Delicious. Pricey tho - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

What a fantastic little gem! We have ordered take-out twice now! The smoked chicken is top tier, as are most of the meats. Portions are large and everything we have tasted has been terrific!! I think it's the little things...fresh bread for the sandwiches, sausage in the black beans (which as a Tampa transplant, I can't say enough good things about the black beans) & while we haven't dined in, takeout service has been excellent. Renovations were much needed to this place...much cleaner and welcoming! This man loves what he does and it shows!! Don't leave without trying Leo's special fries...that garlic aioli is chef's kiss!!! Highly recommend. My only complaint would be that the phone doesn't get answered...which is completely understandable, as it's a Mom & Pop that gets busy. read more

I tried to like this place since Uncle Kenny's pulled out, but after three tries I can't give it a thumbs up. Got the brisket plate takeout with side of collard greens and "garlic toast". Way overpriced for the amount of food and not that good. The brisket was tasty but about a third of it was fat. The collards were about half stalk and half leaf and were not cooked long enough, was like eating paper. The "garlic toast" was really a hoagie bun pasted with garlic butter and parmesan cheese, not toasted and very chewy. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - For $21! - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Decided to try Leo's again after last year that I had a terrible experience at their old location, they have won me over this time, excellent food and great atmosphere, staff was friendly. read more

Looking for a quick snack and salad and both were on the menu. Got a salad and Special Fries and water for $18.00. Was not greeted at all just handed off to the cook to place the order. Fries were over cooked and greasy. Definitely not worth the 7 or 8 bucks. Salad was very fresh but a little bland however it was worth the money. read more

Stopped in for a look. This restaurant is a gem! Owners very efficient, considerate and helpful. After tasting the delicious smoked brisket, I had to buy 3 lbs to bring home. Owners packed 1/2 of purchase in a boiling bag with instructions for me to reheat. The other half was heated and ready to eat. We devoured it! The best brisket I have had in years. This will be our 1st go to place since we moved to Mount Dora 12 yrs ago. Worth the drive. read more

I have been to Leo's at his old location at Montrose many times, and now that he has relocated to the Citrus Tower where Kenny's used to be, even better for me. After eating here 20 times, it is safe to say I have tried everything on the menu. I am a native Floridian, and my wife is from Venezuela, so I am very familiar with a wide array of spices and cooking styles; as for the brisket, the best around. The picanha is amazing! The spices, Leo's special fries, the yucca fries, yes ... you will enjoy your lunch or dinner. They are a great family, and I love that they are kosher-friendly and have no pork products. Beef BBQ Ribs, Beef Bacon, Beef Pastrami. Thank you! read more

Found this place by accident. It's inside the Montrose Market with many others. Had the Filet Mignon sandwich and fries and the pork bbq which were both excellent! The bread was soft and the food full of flavor. The fries were flavored with fresh parmesan and drizzled with garlic aioli and super crispy! We will be back!!!! read more

Leo’s Barbecue - MENU 11/7/22 - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We love BBQ and have eaten it in some of the best places. While out in Clermont we stumbled upon Leo's by accident and gave it a try. My husband got the pork sandwich and special fries and he ate every bite and was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was packed with meat and dripping with good juice from the meat. The fries were crispy and the perfect fried potato color. I got the salad and a side of pork meat. This salad was impressive. It was so fresh and the combo of the dressing and pickled onions and cheese - what a great hit of flavors. Simple salad but I could not stop eating it. I don't know what has been happening in the green's industry lately, I have been weary from picking out slimy and rusty leave's lately, but Leo's has found a supplier who can deliver fresh and crisp lettuce. I was delighted. The pork was delicious and well flavored but my favorite part? No hidden globs of fat. All meat! Whomever prepared the meat took care to remove the fat and make sure it was all meat. This made me a very happy customer! We saw that they are moving soon to the Citrus Tower which will be great because the ambience in the present location was not so great but its obvious they have no control over that as its a shared building. If we find ourselves out in Clermont I won't hesitate to eat their food again. read more

Just tried Leo's bbq for the first time. Group of 5 with a carry out order when we were done. I had the special- a brisket sandwich. Excellent! The meat was tender and delicious. Came with fries that were crispy and a delicious garlic aioli drizzled on top with a dusting of Parmesan cheese. So good! Leo was so gracious and nice, welcoming when we walked in. Will definitely be back. Thanks Leo and staff! read more

Ordered the grilled chicken aioli sandwich, it was so good! I can't really say much about service or ambience because my order was a DoorDash but to me the fact that it was good portions and looked as good as it did even as a Togo order said something about the customer service. A lot of places give less of just care less for Togo orders but this looked and tasted awesome! I wasn't sure I was gonna like the Leo's fries cause I'm picky but they were amazing as well!! I didn't know this place was here but I'm glad found it! read more

Just stopped by on a whim. Best black beans ever! Very friendly staff and very clean! Food was awesome!

We just had lunch here and it was terrific. Everyone is very friendly. There were 4 adults in our party and we chose the beef combo platter. It came with fries. Everything was fresh and hot. On the platter there was lots of brisket, chicken, a huge beef rib along with fries and coleslaw The beef was tender and is easily cut with a fork. Give them a try read more

Just ate at Leo's food truck at the Johnson's Market Place, Clermont. The food was excellent. I had picanha steak which was tender and had delicious seasoning. The fries were made fresh and very tasty. Someone else in our group had the pulled pork which was very tender. I can't wait to go here again. read more

Not a customer there, but just watched a worker drop a sub bun on the floor, then pick it back up and continue to make a sandwich with it. Sorry whoever ordered a BBQ brisket sandwich around 1:15pm on 9/25. You're eating floor sandwich. read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Dude with backwards hat is who dropped the bread. - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Had the brisket sandwich it was amazing and honestly one of the best sandwiches I ever had.

Visiting Florida 5-30-23; Went to Leo's BBQ was told they were out of beef ribs so, I ordered brisket and was told they were sold out of brisket however; "Leo the owner" said oh No we have brisket, I was excited to try it. Five minutes or so later I got my order to go and when I arrived at my destination I opened the box and it was beef bacon WOW what a Disappointed customer I was this was beyond belief!!!!! I don't know what the owner was thinking but, I know the difference beef bacon and brisket, and I was charged for brisket go figure! Leo you LIED to me, as the server said you didn't have anymore brisket and you thought you could get away with serving bacon and get away with it! Everyone beware check your orders before you leave if you don't dine in. Horrible experience!!!! read more

So delicious the food was bursting with flavor. Every employee was very pleasant. Of course the meats were awesome, my favorite plate was the Grilled Platter. Owner was there and he was top notch friendly, helpful and not annoying at the same time- a great team! They work like a well oiled machine! This is our favorite place in Clermont to go! read more

We stumbled across this little gem after a nice 6 mile walk along the South Lake Trail. The food was awesome, we ordered the 'grill platter' to split between 2 of us. just absolutely delicious. the steak was cooked perfect medium rare just as we asked the chicken had a delicious spice and the sausage was slightly spicy with a great taste. i didn't partake in the French fries but my husband said they were delicious, with cheese and a great garlic sauce. highly recommend. read more

Ate lunch at Leo's yesterday. First time visiting. Had the pulled pork lunch special. Delicious!! Lots of pork, yummy BBQ sauce, beans and rice and a salad! Enough for 3 meals! I was driving to Sonny's BBQ when i remembered seeing a BBQ restaurant in downtown Clermont. Decided to give a local business owner my business. I recommend and will go back again. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Leo's for lunch today. They had my favorite cut of steak which is Picanha and I had to try it. Ordered it cooked medium and it was was awesome! Will definitely dine there again the next time I am in Florida! read more

Leo’s Barbecue - Picanha steak with black beans, a salad and chimichurri - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We ate there last week. My smashed burger was the best I've ever had. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. We'll definitely go back.

I do not like to come on here and talk bad about small businesses because I am a small business owner myself, but I feel like I have to share something about this restaurant. So first off when I came inside, I did not know if I needed to order food at the front by the cash register or if it was a sit down restaurant, kind of confusing. Next up, I ordered my food which is pretty simple and easy, and then proceeded to wait for the food to be made. There wasn't many people in the restaurant and yet it still took about 25+ minutes or more to get my food. After waiting all that time, I thought what I was going to be receiving was some freshly made grilled chicken grilled Picanha and sausage but unfortunately, it was very easy to tell that neither of those proteins were cooked made to order. The grilled chicken tasted and felt like the type of chicken that is stored under a flat top grill for a hot sub restaurant - was not fresh. It was barely hot. It seem like they just threw it in the microwave and tossed it in a pan and brought it out to us. For a Brazilian restaurant, I was hoping that the Picanha was going to be fresh but it wasn't - the steak was not grilled to order. The sausage also felt like it was recently warmed up and already cooked. On top of all that as I was sitting down, I had to remind the waiter to grab my food from the window to the kitchen. I was sitting there just looking at my platter on the window sill wondering is that my food if it is when is it going to make it to my table, I had to walk up to the waiter and ask him "hey is that my food." So unfortunately, I went to this place because it was recommended to me but my experience was not a good one. I hope that if you try this place out, you have a better experience than me. I really want to go back and try some of their American BBQ, because what I tried was their Brazilian barbecue platter. The Brazilian barbecue platter was the first thing listed on the menu so I figured it was gonna be a good one and it was also owned by Brazilian people. In conclusion, I hope this restaurant continues to do well and keeps their doors open but it won't be somewhere that I frequent anytime soon. read more

We loved this place at Montrose St Market & love it still. Their house salad with grilled chicken and house aioli dressing is SO GOOD!! It's also a very generous salad size and leaves me feeling happy and full. The staff are very nice and happy to help. Their menu has a great variety without being overwhelming. In house seating area and bathrooms are also VERY clean and well kept. read more

Sorry, but you lost me by trying to charge $1.49 for an 8 oz. plastic cup for me to fill with water. Good luck. This ain't uncle Kenny's. Over priced and average. read more

Brisket was to die for, as was the steak. Ribs were disappointing, fatty. Pulled pork was OK, nothing special. Chicken disappointing, too small, too dry. Fries good. Mac n cheese also disappointing. Too dry. Brazilian sausage good, but I can get that myself and easily make it as well. Very similar to Argentinian. read more

A few weeks ago, we tried giving this place another chance but after our last experience, NEVER AGAIN!! First, the young adult taking the order is texting as he is trying to listen for the order. Then it takes 45 minutes to an hour to get the food!!!!! As we finally get the food, the owner is yelling at this same kid and to top it off, the food had NO FLAVOR and the sides tasted like it came out of a box made in a microwave! Shameful to charge so much money for such low quality service and food! read more

In my wife's words (she doesnt have Yelp): Actually was in love with their fries, best in town imo, but the bad customer service isn't worth going anymore. I was ignored not just once, but twice by the man running the place, on 2 separate visits. The FIRST time with a friend visiting town. He stood at a table chatting like he wasn't even working, with no one behind the counter, while my friend and I stood at the empty counter wondering if they were open. He glanced over multiple times but said nothing, and it was only when he decided to go behind the counter we even realized he worked there. The SECOND time months later with my husband: we walked up to the counter where there was no line, smiled at the same man sitting there (he just looked at us, no smile, no greeting). We already knew we wanted the fries but glanced up at the menu to get the actual order name (special fries). Another man walks up out of nowhere and the worker jumped from his seat to talk around us and take the man's order. We were so bothered by the rudeness, we just ended up leaving and won't return. read more
