Leo's BBQ is a favorite in Oklahoma City for authentic barbequed meats. Having been featured on The Food Network, the secret is out but the food is still just as good. Leo's hickory smokes all its meats to tender perfection and they have two different sauces to choose from, a sort of sweet Carolina-style sauce and a spicy bbq sauce. Leo's also has a basic selection of traditional bbq sides. Don't forget to save room for the surprise specialty- the cake!

This is one of the most trendy places to eat in the Nichols Hills area; so if you go at lunchtime, either get there early or expect to wait awhile. The ambiance in the restaurant is no-frills, nostalgia with hubcaps, 50's placards and Elvis memorabilia on the walls. Try the popular 'Smokestack', a monstrous sandwich of chopped beef, a hot link and coleslaw. The half-pound burgers are almost as popular as the barbecue of which there is a large selection, including ribs, brisket and more.
