LeRoy and Lewis sits off Stassney Lane and Emerald Forest Drive in South Austin, about 1.5 miles west of I-35. The restaurant describes its cooking as New American plus Texas barbecue, built on local sourcing and served with sit-down service rather than a straight cafeteria-line format.
Beef cheeks and house-made sausage are the dishes reviewers keep circling back to, alongside sides and a burger that get regular mention.
Michelin awarded LeRoy and Lewis one star in both the 2024 and 2025 Texas guides, and the James Beard Foundation named it a semifinalist for Best Chef: Texas in 2025. It has also appeared on local best-of lists covering Austin's barbecue scene.
Crowds describe the food and service as consistent and authentic, with a lively atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
