Leonard's Pit Barbecue

Barbecue restaurant · Cordova

A Memphis BBQ landmark since 1922, Leonard’s is praised by Garden & Gun and local publications not just for its pork but for its signature ‘Bar-B-Q Dog’—a split hot dog topped with pulled pork, slaw, and tangy BBQ sauce. This regional specialty embodies the city’s love for combining barbecue and comfort food in unexpected ways, all served with a side of Southern hospitality.
