Welcome
to Leonard's! One of America's famous restaurants. Leonard's Pit Barbecue opened
in 1922 when founder Leonard Heuberger bartered a Model T Ford for a 7-stool
sandwich stand in South Memphis. In 1932, he moved to his 1140 S. Bellevue
location, which he enlarged several times over the years as demands grew for his
barbecue food specialties. In the 30's he offered food delivery by bicycle, and
pioneered today's popular take-out and catering services. In the 40's and 50's
Leonard's was the world's largest barbecue drive-in restaurant . . . with 20
carhops serving the daily parade of patrons who parked under the canopies.
Leonard's has been, since 1922 and continues today, the symbol of highest
quality standards of barbecue food and service in Memphis, the pork barbecue
capital of the world.
