About

My passion for smoking meats developed years ago when I first witnessed our uncle Leon (aka "Big Lee"), and his incredible skills on the smoker in the Mississippi Delta, Greenwood to be exact. The quality of the food he made was unparalleled and I couldn't get it out of my mind. But beyond his sheer talent, Uncle Leon had such a joy for cooking and, moreover, for sharing his amazing food with others. We lost Uncle Leon in October of 2012 and his passing has made me more conscious of not only my deep passion for barbecue, but also how many people I share this gift with. He was an amazing man and he still inspires us today. Thanks, "Big Lee"!

Worth the trip!

Big Lee’s is family owned and it is hands down the best BBQ you’ll ever eat! People travel from everywhere just to eat here, if you’re not a local, you’ll definitely find it worth the trip, it’s the best!

Great BBQ

This little spot is amazing. The pulled pork sandwich had great flavor and the brisket melted in my mouth. Best BBQ in Ocala in my opinion.

Visiting

We were looking for a quick bite for lunch, checked Trip Advisor and Big Lee’s BBQ was 4 miles away. We had the burnt end brisket sandwich and it’s delicious. Hope to return soon.
