Been coming to Leonard’s for years and was excited to find that indeed hadn’t gone out of business, but had instead simply moved locations. Went last Friday evening around 6 and got catfish with fries and turnip greens. The fish was great, very large and crispy with no fishy taste at all. The turnip greens tasted like they were from a can but edible. Food came out in a timely manner and the service was fantastic. There was one young girl running the entire dining room and doing to go orders and there were several tables in there besides me. Still she was very sweet, getting me everything I needed when asked and making jokes whenever she did stop by to check on me. She apologized about the wait, and I told her that it was fine and that I understood. Her name was Alice. Prices are a little h

My first time here at the location in Cordova. I didn't listen to all the previous reviews I looked at and ordered the combo plate of pulled pork shoulder and ribs with baked beans and wedge fries. Everything was warm when it was brought to me. The ribs were as far from fall off the bone or tender whatsoever. The ribs were difficult to cut one or two off at a time. Every bite was tough. The pulled pork shoulder was a bit better. Unfortunately, the sauce was more vinegar based than a smokier taste which I prefer. The beans and the bread roll was the best of the lunch. Service was exceptional. Ashleigh waa very friendly and nice. She checked in me quite a few times. There was only 4 others in the restaurant at the time but she also was the only server on duty and had to take care of anyone w

I had an amazing time. The food was absolutely amazing. I personally ordered a BBQ sandwich plate with Greens and Baked Beans. The wait for lunch was very short and the staff was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Will be coming back!

I don't eat here often since I live about 4 hours away. In fact, the last time I ate here was over a year before this last visit. The last time I was there was during lunch, the place was full of people, and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. The ribs definitely were the highlight of the meal and some of the best I've eaten. Sadly, this most recent visit was much different. I was there right at 5pm on a Friday and only two other customers were in the place. A little concerning but I thought perhaps I was just early for the dinner rush so I decided to forge ahead. One younger female was apparently in charge of everything in terms of the dining room and later it appeared also for to go orders as well. Given the small number of patrons this probably would have worked okay except she rea
