Le J's Bar-B-Q

Great food ! Great service! I'm on a roadtrip and decided to stop for some bbq and it was good and also got to learn some history! The owner is great will definitely be coming back! Thanks again !

Mr. Love runs and owns this place all alone. He makes everything from scratch except the pickles, bread or chips. My bf and I went to lunch today and each had the 3 meat combo with two sides for less than $19 together. I got the ribs, brisket, hot links (they're housemade too), baked beans and chips. The ribs were the best I've ever tasted in my life. LITERALLY EVER. The owner shared with us that the leftover meat all goes into the beans and they were damn near life-changing. I tried the hot bbq sauce and it was just perfect. My bf had pulled pork, brisket and ribs with cole slaw and potato salad. It was Carolina cole slaw which I prefer to other variations. The potato salad was absolute perfection, just like your memom always made (if you're from the south). Everything was perfect. Mr. Love shared that he supports his two daughters and if they need something, he closes his restaurant and takes care of them. He also closes when he runs out of food. I'm don't know how we got so lucky that he still had so many options at 2pm in the afternoon on a Saturday, but we did. At that point, he was out of chicken and turkey, so a return visit is in order. As others have mentioned, it is cash only. You'll leave perfectly satisfied but not heavy or feeling sick. It is absolutely perfect and Mr. Love will give you clear directions. He's not your usual restaurant owner and manager but he may be the best in his unique way.

This is some of the best BBQ we have sunk our teeth into in recent days. The owner makes his BBQ daily, his own sauce (I'd like a bottle to go!) his own potato salad and coleslaw, his own beans. We got the 3-meat with beans and coleslaw. We tried brisket, turkey and pork butts. He cut a bun in half, as we were sharing. We sopped up every delectable bite! I did not care for the coleslaw. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I prefer the creamy type and this was an oil-based with obvious sugar. Hubby thought it was great! The coleslaw is corse-chopped, so you can tell it's hand- made. The beans were simmered to perfection. Drinks are located in an old, battered refrigerator. Help yourself, ring out when you are finished. When you leave, people will know you are there, because you will smell like delicious smoke! Don't forget a take home menu so you can order ahead next time. I know you will want to.They are located next to the radio on the table by the wall, along with napkins and forks. You can dine in OR carry out. They do catering, too!

Treat yourself and stop by this great Bar-b-q joint! The food is fantastic, but what really makes this place special is the owner. We were in town for a procedure at the hospital and wanted to pick up food to take home so I wouldn't have to cook. I called but then realized they were closed. 10 min later the owner called my cell phone back and asked how he could help. He had our food ready for pick up even before he opened. Wow! Impressed with him and the food! We will be returning!

Hidden gem! Great ribs and the Good News of Jesus Christ! The owner is keeping it simple and supporting his family with this friendly, soulful hole in the wall BBQ joint.

Learned the hard way that they run out of certain items. We were wanting Ribs for dinner so ran out to get some. Turned out they were sold out of both Ribs and Brisket. We were disappointed. However, we will go back, just earlier.

Jeff, makes the most delicious bbq! Also his baked beans are amazing and delicious. Everything Jeff sells and makes is great!! He is closed on Sunday and Mondays.

Do not make the drive from Wichita. I have attempted this place 4 times over last year and each time they were closed or out of food hours before posted closing time (4pm). Today was the last time I will make an attempt. My wife and I arrived 2 hours before closing to find out no brisket and cash only... no big deal. The owner introduced himself and said "go get cash and then I'll serve you and your wife the best bbq meal you've ever had". As the cash machine was directly across the street this was no big deal. BUT!! When we got back 10 minutes later, the same guy looked at me like he had never seen me before and said he was out of EVERYTHING! So much for the "best bbq meal" id ever have. Due to erratic hours, dirty interior, and unprofessional behavior of owner, we won't be back.

Absolutely the best BBQ we've ever had. We are from Lawrence, KS and we were passing through on our way to get a pup. We decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed at all. Great prices, great friendly service, and amazing food. I wish we lived closer because we'd definitely go there all the time! If you are a fan of BBQ and are in Newton, KS be sure to stop in and get a plate you won't regret it!!

BBQ was great! The Owner is very nice! He seems to really care about making food for his customers.
