    So glad you had this opportunity…Knew Leonard personally. When my family ate out that was where we went. Dan Brown who bought the place after Leonard had worked there as a kid..Best BBQ ever

    I hope the management reads this. I have been a regular customer since I ate at the Bellevue/McLemore, and am thrilled to hear that Leonard’s is open AGAIN. When I ate at the Bellevue, and earlier days of the Plaza restaurant, I would like to give you something that I specificially remember about Leonard’s @ both of the Leonard’s that I ate at. The sandwiches were always full of good BBQ meat , Slaw and Sauce, but I was ALWAYS able to eat them like a sandwich, without getting BBQ on. Me, in the floor, and on the table. When Corkeys came to Memphis, they loaded so much BBQ, sauce etc on the bun, that it made the bun soft and mushy, and mess everywhere. To me, it was hard to taste the flavor of the sauce and the meat, and I became less fond of BBQ. I know. All you employees, manager etc remember how the old sandwiches were served, -- you could easily hold them, got the full flavor of the sandwich and didn’t lose half of your sandwich to the floor, or your lap, and no soggy bun. My husband used to get two sandwiches and I’d get one regular, everything stayed neat and appetitizing. I didn’t know y’all were open, so when I found out, I looked you up on the internet, and was a little disapointed to see you were following the NEW trend of humongous BBQ sandwiches just like all the newcomers to Memphis. Everybody complains about them except the big sloppy eaters. My suggestion, is ----could you have a BBQ sandwich option, called the “Memphis original” with a nice layer of BBQ meat, chopped like the original, with slaw and sauce, and. Neat where you could actually eat it LIKE a Sandwich. You could charge less, and there would be men who would order2. The ladies would all encourage their husbands to meander over to the original Leonard’s PIT BBQ. And, You can still serve the big sloppy messy sandwiches,too. Or you could just advertise this as a Ladies’ BBQ, and we would be thrilled, and spread the word! Don’t copy the crowd. You can’t fix perfect, ( what Mr Leonard started back in 1922) You can still serve the sloppy version, but we females would love to see the original BBQ served again, about 1/2 the amount of meat, plenty sauce and slaw on a nice bun, that actually “ stays a bun” call it The original Leonard’s BBQ or Ladies BBQ. We will lovingly support and spread the word!!! DONT COPY THEM!!!!!!!

    Boy does Elvis know what he liked!!!! The cole slaw is something I would like cause it's vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard base. The ribs are wet my favorite!!! John Need papertowels!!!! The Big Leonard looks so good!!! Bobbie you enjoyed the spaghetti and roll must have been so good that looked good! Loretta 's lemon ice box pie was incredible. So light and delicious I bet!!! She was such a friendly hostess/ manager. Food reminds me of The Hickory Pit on Main St. IN Evansville We have alot of resteraunts in the city plus resteraunt chains. Love hotels there as well.

    I ate at the original Leonard's on Bellevue many times over the years. I don't remember when they moved but I have never been to their new location. And of course Elvis ate there, it was right up the road a few miles from his house. This area used to be THE place to be with Leonards, Pancho's, Colettas, Vannucci's, the Bellevue Drive In. It's sad to see it in such a state of disrepair and dilipidation.

    If you're gonna eat ribs, it is going to be messy! I kind of teared up when Loretta talked about Elvis (and also at the end, Lisa Marie). I feel bad too that he couldn't even go out to his fave place to eat because fans just wouldn't let him be. That has to be really isolating and lonely. I was wondering - did the ribs have a lot of meat on them? While tender looking, they also looked a bit sparse. About how long does it take driving from home to Memphis and Pigeon Forge? I bet you have some laughs and good talks on those trips together!

    The BEST BBQ, SLAW, RIBS in Memphis. I'm glad they moved from Fox Plaza. I'll miss that place but it was bad for their business. And the catfish can't forget the CATFISH! Should have been there for the buffet. It was a masterpiece.
