We were driving through town and saw big lees was only a 7 minute drive from I75 so we ordered a family meal online and went to pick it up. Jazmin was super friendly and loaded us up with sauces to go and offered to carry it to the car. Large portions and everything was well seasoned and super moist. Great Mac n cheese, brisket, ribs and the sausage was to die for. Even the chicken which I usually find boring was well seasoned. And oh my gosh the banana cheesecake! We are in love! Don’t miss out on this awesome good food!

Food was great! I drove 2 hrs to see if the hype on tiktok was real and got the family meal, added a half pound of burnt ends and some dessert. The meat was amazing, the brisket (sliced and burnt ends), rids and surprisingly the sausage were my favorite. You also have to get the banana pudding. I will definitely be making another 2 hr drive to come back. The staff was super friendly and willing to answer all my questions.

Excellent spot for Real-Deal BBQ, fried okra is Excellent, The Brisket is good like Texas style and the burnt ends are as well, the coleslaw is made on site and is better than the slop you get at chain joints. The peach cobbler was also very nice. Go there now, tell em Monty Clause sent ya !

Big Lee's - Serious About BBQ is hands down the best BBQ spot in Florida! I’ve tried so many BBQ joints across the state, and to be honest, most of the BBQ in FL is pretty mediocre. But then I found Big Lee’s, and everything changed. From the moment I walked in, the aroma hit me, and I knew I was in for something special. The meats are perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor—especially the brisket and ribs. The sides are equally amazing, and you can tell they put a lot of love and care into every dish. If you're in Florida and want BBQ that truly lives up to the hype, Big Lee's is the place to go. Don’t settle for anything less—this spot is a game-changer!

We drove 1 hr and 30 minutes for barbecue on a recommendation from Tik Tok. We were not disappointed. I usually try brisket at barbecue joints I visit for the first time, but here, the smash burger caught my attention. And I was not disappointed. The meat was juicy, full of flavor, and the cheese and sauce was perfect. I'm glad I don't live closer. Hubby had the ribs and beans and was satisfied as well. He looks for flavor and smoke. This was worth the ride, and we will visit again. Oh, and we ordered more food to take home for dinner.
