LeRoy and Lewis
New school BBQ. Old school smoke.
LeRoy and Lewis is a barbecue restaurant in Austin, Texas.
Evan LeRoy and Sawyer Lewis push the boundaries of Texas barbecue without abandoning its soul. Their South Austin trailer built its name on whole-animal cooking, creative use of offal and secondary cuts, and a rotating menu that keeps regulars checking the board rather than reordering the usual three meats.
The beef cheeks are the revelation — a fatty, deeply marbled cut smoked until it eats like the richest bite of a brisket, and the item that made the trailer famous. Smoked boudin brings a Cajun-Texan snap, and the rotating seasonal specials show a genuine culinary intelligence at work behind the pit. What sets LeRoy and Lewis apart is that all this invention never feels precious; the smoker is treated as a chef's tool, but the food stays generous, craveable, and rooted in real barbecue.
