Few things in life will provoke a Texan as quickly as suggesting that there is some where on earth other than God's chosen homeland of open range and longhorns where brisket is prepared correctly. I lived in Houston for 12 years, and can testify , that if you were to identify the one true religion that binds them all, rich and poor, liberal and conservative , it is the near sacred act of BBQ. Other than the malformed vegan or vegetarian, you would be hard pressed to identify a resident who doesn't have a smoker in the back yard , or a favorite bbq shack where they go for a regular feed. I mention all of this in great detail , only to support my personal testimony to you here today , Gary Lees Market is hands down , the most fabulous bbq I've ever eaten. There I said it. Without apology or regret. Their brisket is sublime, smoked for 14 hours, the meat presents with such an extraordinary depth of flavor, that it defies belief. Tender , juicy, each bite is a celebration, and witness to what 50 years of cooking bbq will produce. Likewise, the ribs , were also spectacular. Maybe most amazing, were the incredible thick slicked strips of bacon , with edges tasting like crunchy caramel perhaps, maybe where the meat had grazed a pecan pie on its way to the smoker, and interior, soft , meaty and like all their food just swimming in flavor - not sauce! My wife and I ordered way too much food , deliberately, including sides of baked beans, collard greens and cole slaw. Like the fabulous smoked meats, all of this was just perfect. The food is served cafeteria style, with a constant line of 30 people of every caste and color , joining together in celebration of a cuisine older than time itself, and bathed in smells so delicious, that you worry they will run out before they take your order. Luckily, everyone is tended to with the gentility and kindness that you only find in the south , and soon, you will happily walking out with your bags of bbq, or if like my wife and I , are overcome with ravenous desire, you can sit at one of the simple tables and enjoy your food right there. The place looks like it hasn't changed much in 50 years, and that's probably the very best part of this experience, a commitment to excellence , an honoring of tradition, food as high art.

This cute little Georgia restaurant was a unique and delightful experience as we road tripped from south Florida to Georgia! The prices here were unbeatable and the food was excellent. I enjoyed the kind southern charm from all the hospitable staff members! Thanks Gary Lee!

Yes - it's my weekly BBQ crush. I arrived by 5 so they still had a good selection. I ordered a half-rack of ribs (half of the last one - I didn't want to be too greedy), a pound of brisket, a dozen wings (first time they've had these still available), a cheeseburger (no bun), a pulled pork sandwich, and, of course, baked beans and potato salad (first time trying this). Instead of hauling the treasure back to my boat, my hunger decided I was going to eat the pulled pork sammie there in the parking lot. The rain started pouring as I was walking to the car. I pulled to the side of the building and Voilá! THE best pulled pork Sandwich of my life!!! The smoky fragrance of the meat, the mix of lean and fat meat and their incredible BBQ sauce on top. Thank you Gary Lee!!!

Outstanding BBQ and meat counter. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and care. Burgers are so good we eat them plain.... Don't need anything, no ketchup or mayo or any toppings. Brisket is some of the best I have ever had. Hose made potato salad is crazy good. Give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed.

WOW! This is a MUST when visiting. We are newer to the area and a friend suggested this place and wow are we glad we tried it! The rub they use and their special bbq sauce is a perfect combo and out of this world! We tried their ribs, wings, brisket, sausage and beans. The sausage DELICIOUS.. we even brought extra home and made in an omelet the next morning. HIGHLY recommend that. I've heard the burger and pork chops are good too, but haven't tried yet. GO!!

Ooohhhh mmyyyy gahhhhh!!! This place was delicious came here a couple of times. Always ordered more than I should just do I can take some with me. I had practically everything from the brisket to the ribs to the Mac N cheese. They do run out of things so I'd recommend to go early. Prolly one of the best bbq's I've had. Plenty of parking and they accept card or cash. They have a couple of tables inside but most ppl Would pick up to go.

Was driving from Florida to NY and was looking for a quick place to stop into for lunch. The people here, customers and staff, are great! Really friendly and gave some great recommendations. We tried one of nearly everything, but the standouts for us were: the Brisket (so tender you can cut through it with a butter knife and not slathered in BBQ so you can really appreciate the taste), the pork ribs (legit falling off the bone and so flavorful), their homemade coleslaw and sweet tea. We also tried other items just to see what we liked, but they didn't compare in terms of flavor to the items above (pork chops were a little on the dry side, collard greens were too sweet for my preference, beef ribs were well flavored but a little chewy, and Mac & cheese needed some more flavor). Overall very happy with this no-frills locals lunch spot and would definitely come again. Thank you!!

WoW!!! Absolutely love this place. About mile off interstate it's place you don't want to miss!! Ribs were spot on!! The sausage was absolutely amazing the skin on it super thin n just pops on each bite almost no chew to it ( skin ) and flavor on regular n jalapeño n onion one were so good and juicy. Second day on my way back from Miami stopped got more sausage and tried there pork chop. At this point I don't think you could go wrong with anything you ordered. Brisket, smoked cheeseburger n sauced smoked wings looked great maybe next time!!! Seriously don't sleep on this place and skip all the damn fast food right off interstate you won't be disappointed I promise!!!

Excellent food. Looking for some outstanding bbq? Look no further. The ribs and brisket were off the charts good.
