We met Leon of Leon’s World Finest BBQ! Amazing BBQ. Vietnam Vet, at this restaurant for 40 years. Make sure to get some when in Galveston, off Broadway. Great to get it to go and enjoy in Galveston or take home when you leave the island. and Leon takes BBQ serious, if it’s not done right it’s not worth doing he said. Also said he will make sure you are happy. He was right!

Asked around at the gas station and they all said head to Leon's for the best bbq in Galveston, so that's what I did. It looks like a hole in the wall restaurant but the inside is very inviting and the smells are amazing! I got a pound of brisket and a large side of spicy rice and I really understand why they call it the best. The brisket was perfectly seasoned and juicy even after opening it 20 minutes after I bought it, I asked for a signature sauce cup as well and it was perfect with the right amount of spice! The fat on the brisket was to die for, so good and just melts in your mouth. The spicy rice really is spicy so careful with that but it was awesome as well. I came in at 6 and unfortunately came in right at their closing time, but they still were able to fit me in. Overall would definitely go again.

All I can say is OMG this is the BEST bbq joint! Leon’s choice brisket melts in your mouth! The ribs are amazing, as is the potato salad. His homemade seasonings and sauce is delicious! We visited with friends from England that wanted to try authentic Texas BBQ and the 4 of us devoured 2 pounds of meat. Leon even came out to introduce himself. Great food, great service and we’ll definitely be back!
