My colleagues have always raved about LD’s, and I’d driven past it countless times without stopping. On a day trip to Lake Geneva, we finally stopped in for lunch, and I’m so glad we did. The food was absolutely fantastic. The brisket, smoked sausage, and every side we tried were phenomenal. This instantly ranks among the best BBQ I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be back soon.

i make it a mission everyweek for the last 4 years i try to stop in once a week and boy oh boy, good restaurants and atmosphere is hard to find now but LDs? amazing. Leon has came out to great me while eating, shook my hand, and thanked me for coming. These guys have helped me out if i’m a few cents short when money is tight and there’s no place i’d rather go. Love LDs Team!!

The very best bbq in the midwest. We are now regulars. I recommend the sampler platter. Enough food for 2 plus leftovers. the food is phenomenal, the service top notch. I don't care for the Mac and cheese, but everything else is delicious.

My husband and I always make the trip here on our way back from visiting family in Illinois. We've had the food multiple times now and it never disappoints! Our absolute favorite is the brisket, chicken, mac and cheese, and beans! Everything is so delicious and made to perfection. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. We will continue to come back when we are in the area!

Picked up some Brisket and Pulled Chicken and it was phenomenal! It shouldn't surprise me because this is, without a doubt, one of the best BBQ restaurants in the country. It's inside an old Burger King, check out the handles on the outside doors, but totally made over to a welcoming, family friendly, place to go. The staff is always amazing! They are there to help make your experience that much better. Do yourself a favor and turn this place, you will not be disappointed.
