Sep 2025: BBQ and brew. The brisket and outdoor seating were the highlights. There was some live music. Not too loud so that’s good. The beer selection is pretty small. They close early.

Following the intoxicating smells, we stopped in for lunch. A delicious BBQ experience ensued! Pulled pork platter was graced with a sweet/smoky sauce that was an amazing complement to the tender meat. Yum.

The most disappointing restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time. I can remember only two occasions in my life where I was unable to eat the food I was served at a restaurant. This was the second. Our server did replace the brisket with pulled pork, which was only marginally better. The outdoor patio is nice though, and dog friendly. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning. (I give 4 stars because I was unfamiliar with the whole cafeteria-tray-style barbecue thing and was expecting something very different. Most people seem to like it.)

Good ribs and pulled pork, brisket was a little dry and bland. Nice environment, outdoor seating with a live band. Decent beer selection and very friendly service. Close to parking and downtown Leesburg so a very convenient location. Will probably visit again but will just get ribs next time.

Good atmosphere on weekend evenings with the live music and outdoor seating area. Food is ok, but that’s about as high of a review as I’ll give the food. Placed a to-go order and they forgot a side, brisket was very dry, and the loaded fries were literally just soggy fries with dry pulled pork piled on top and nothing else. If you imbibe, it’s a good place to hang out, but you can get better BBQ elsewhere.

We came for dinner and drinks on a Friday. The place was absolutely packed. The servers were all working hard to get everyone served quickly. Ben at the bar especially did an excellent job.
The brisket was incredibly tender and delicious. It’s hard to get brisket that tender that still holds its shape. It had all the heartiness of a steak and all the tender goodness of pork belly. Since the brisket was so rich, the acidity of the pickles was a perfect balance.
Only downside was the water cooler emptied quickly because of the number of guests and it took a long time before anyone refilled it. Other than that, it was a practically perfect experience. Would definitely come again

Really enjoyed our visit – greeted, seated and served within minutes. Very attentive and engaging staff. Generous, savory portions – try the loaded fries. We had to take a bag of food home with us. Definitely will return.

I got the loaded Mac and cheese with the pulled pork. The pulled pork was so tender and the Mac and cheese was perfect. My only complaint is that we called ahead and told them we had a large party coming and they said they would accommodate and have heaters for outside and an outside bar setup. They didn’t have either and the wait for a drink was insane with the food being in the same line. Other than that, I would definitely return with a smaller party. I think the loaded mac and cheese weighed 5 lbs! So bring a friend to split it with!

Overall I was severely underwhelmed.
I absolutely love BBQ and absolutely hate leaving reviews like this.
I consider myself a BBQ aficionado, I’m no professional BBQ critic, but I’ve done enough BBQ side-by-side tastes to know what’s good, and what’s an average price for BBQ. Schmidt’s underperformed in both categories.
Service: *Good*
We called in an order of a half lb of both brisket and pull pork with a 16oz side of mac and cheese. When we arrived, the food was ready for us.
Portions: *Lacking*
However when we got home and saw what we had received, we we’re shocked, the portions seemed very small. I figured it must be the way the food was presented since we bought by weight- not as a platter, but after weighing the food, each came up short. Note: the container weight also contributed to the food weight. I should also mention that I wouldn’t normally break out the scale, but when you order a half lb of meat, and you only see two pieces, you get concerned. I also don’t expect portions to be exact, but I would sure hope that **at least one** of the items ordered met expectations. Regardless, when you pay for 16oz of mac and get less that 14 (assuming the container weights more than 0.1oz), or 8oz of brisket and get less than 6.5oz (~80% of the expected weight), it’s incredibly disappointing.
Taste: *Mixed*
Mac n Cheese – Run of the mill. Nothing special. Not bad, just nothing to write home about.
Pulled Pork – Bland. It was tender and had smoke to it, but literally nothing else.
Brisket – Good. Not the best I’ve had, but I’d put it in the around the 70th percentile compared to other Brisket I’ve had. It had good flavor, and was relatively tender though was just a touch dry.
Sauce – Good question. Don’t know. We found out once we got home that there wasn’t any sauce included. This one could have been on us for not asking, but it also wasn’t offered. A real shame considering that pork needed sauce.
Cost: *High*
This is by far the most I’ve paid for BBQ in the area. I thought Monks was high, but this is higher. I guess you’re paying extra for getting food in the middle of town?
Conclusion: I’m just sad there’s one less BBQ place in Leesburg that I’d consider going to.

AMAZING BBQ! We were at Wild Hare Cider Cabin in Leesburg and they directed us to Schmidt’s Barbecue. We are SO glad that they did. We ordered the pulled pork cheese fries and they were DELICIOUS! I love that their online menu tells you what is gluten free. My daughter and I are GF so I was so excited to see so many options. We also ordered brisket (GF), Caesar salad, and mac and cheese. We will 100% be back again! Friendly customer service, clean, lots of outdoor seating (inside in very small). Order at the counter and eat outside.
