I drive from Pinehurst every other Thursday for chicken & greenbeans! It's 40 minutes each way & worth every bite! If you love the South and you love good food: GO!

My wife and I ate at Leflers Place a couple months ago. We enjoyed it and I've been itching to go back. It's a long drive for us so we haven't had a chance. I drove down there for lunch today and really enjoyed it. It's almost like going back in time. The waitress was a young lady and really polite. It's nice to know that there are still some young folks out there that can see beyond their IPhone to be kind and courteous. Got a pound of barbecue to go for dinner and it was delicious as well. It's a nice place to go. The prices were fine and the food was great.

Drove from Charlotte to check it out. My wife and I split a hamburger, BBQ sandwich and fried bologna. Hush puppies and fresh cut fries were the sides. They were all very good, service was great and the setting was 1960's. Be sure and get some chocolate covered peanuts on the way out.

Gotta try the ribeye steak! Phenomenal. May be the best ever! Really good waitress, ribs were fall off the bone. Hush puppies were good. This is a hidden gem. Very limited seating.

I had Lefler's cater my baby shower this past weekend and it was wonderful. Jimmy was very helpful and timely when I was placing the order. He worked with me to get me what I wanted for the budget I had in mind. We had plenty of food for 50 people. He even gave us a hot box for the food to stay warm for up to 6 hours, that was a nice touch. I will definitely use his services in the future. Their BBQ is top notch!! The smoked chicken was tender and delicious. We got a few sides as well which were all very tasty, everyone was raving about the food. 10/10 would recommend!! Thanks Jimmy!

Love this place. Staff is great, the place has history. The food was great. BBQ has a very good flavor, the sauce was quite good, onion rings and hush puppies were great. We enjoyed it very much.
