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 barbcue drive-in restaurant . . . with 20 carhops serving the daily parade of patrons who parked under the canpies. 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.
