Birria Tacos
For a long time I've wanted to try Big Lees BBQ after reading about the success with Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Rashad Jones won Guy Fieri's culinary contest, "Guy's Big Project" in 2017 and The Food Network's "BBQ Brawl" in 2022. After the recent opening of his restaurant, I read a lot of online comments of the Birria Tacos. It was Taco Tuesday so my first experience was....tacos!!! Talk about an elevated taco and each one was STACKED!! I really enjoyed them and I tried their mac and cheese as a side. A lot of BBQ places with have good meats and "ok" sides but their mac and cheese was like sitting down at the Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, GA and having them serving you a side but even better! I haven't even had the BBQ yet so I've got to get back and try all their meats and sides. There's a lot more BBQ treasure yet to be found at Lees!!
The Kathy
The food at Big Lee's is absolutely delicious! We finally made it to their permanent location and loved it. I have been looking forward to trying The Kathy and it is so good! I also had the pulled pork and my husband had the sliced brisket. The meat was super tender and was seasoned perfectly. I didn't add sauce until the end and I only added it because I love their sauce! On top of the delicious food, the location is nice and the staff was welcoming and helpful, especially Jasmine and Sam! We will definitely be back again!
The Kathy
We have been visiting big lee's since it's food truck pre food network days and they never fail to exceed our expectations. The food is amazing, the brisket is the best in the state. The Kathy and The Deacon are two of my favorite selections. Typing this as I sit in the car while my better half grabs a pound of brisket for dinner tonight.
Burnt Ends By The Pound
We are so happy that the Restaurant is open. Lee's staff is as excellent as the food and we plan on working our way through the entire menu. The only challenge here for us is passing on the Burnt ends to try the next item!
BRISKET / BURNT ENDS
I've visited several times and not only love everything I've ordered, but I love the atmosphere and the team just as much. Having Rashad in "the house" when there is an extra treat. His passion for what he does, and his love for people and God, is even more reason to stop in when I'm in Ocala.
BRISKET / BURNT ENDS
Best BBQ around. not just saying that. I found this place because he has won multiple awards on the food network and it is legit. Not only is this the best bbq ive ever had but after talking to Rashad a few years back at an event he inspired me to try it out at home and now its one of my favorite things. Really humble down to earth dude. I smoke meat regularly at home now but doesnt stop me from coming to Big Lees because honestly all the trials and youtube vidoes and heath riles recipies nothing still is close to Big Lee. Tried some legends in Tennessee and Kentucky but we have the best one right here in Ocala. Seriously you NEED to try this place out
Birria Tacos
Wowzers! The birria tacos!! I found this by chance looking through the menu and via Instagram. This was our first time getting to stop in for food. We did take out and my husband digged on me for getting tacos at a BBQ joint. He ended up eating half of mine and his meal. They were seriously so unexpectedly good and for take out it was excellent still when we got home! We will definitely be back.
The Deacon
What can I say about this....WOW! I love brisket. This is the most tender and amazing flavored brisket I've ever eaten and to pair it with French fries genius! I highly recommend!
BRISKET / BURNT ENDS
Amazing
Brisket Sandwich Combo
Look, I'm not a big fan of BBQ, and I go CRAZY for this place! Going in today we met Jasmine and Jasmine was awesome and answered every question, no matter how small, and was awesome the entire visit. I already do, but will continue to brag about this place to everyone with ears!
