Brisket and sausage!
Steve F.

Fantastic food and service. A little pricey, but high quality. Christian music playing throughout and cool how can we pray for you board!

Brisket sandwich with Buffalo Chips
Monica R.

I was running errands when I saw a billboard for Leland Smoke House. I had to map it and find it since I'm new to the area. It certainly lived up to its advertisements! Most tender brisket! Don't miss the Buffalo Chips with ranch or spicy ranch! Delicious meal at a great price!

The three ribs each measured about 4 inches long and cost $13.99.

We ordered a carry out order consisting of a pulled pork sandwich, 1/4 rack of ribs, a sausage plate and the following sides: baked beans, cole slaw, hushpuppies w/cinnamon butter and potato salad. I originally asked for a sausage sandwich (one link on a hot dog bun) but was informed they couldn't do a sausage sandwich for some unknown reason. Then, the order taker asked if I wanted the more expensive sausage plate (2 links and 2 sides) with a bun. This made no sense until I received the order and noticed it was a hamburger bun....not the advertised hot dog bun. Also, my pulled pork sandwich and side were supposed to include a drink. There was no drink included. Now, for the food itself. I received 3 very small ribs. Is that a 1/4 slab? Well, either way, those three small ribs cost me $13.99 ($4.66 each). See photos. The two sausages, pulled pork sandwich, and the two hamburger buns were wrapped in three separate foil papers which were completely coated with grease from the meat and I mean lots of grease. By the time the food was unwrapped, our hands were excessively gooey which was gross. I've never experienced food wrapping being greasy before and hope I don't again. The ribs were tender but so salty we couldn't eat them. The pulled pork was completely dry and did not have much smoke flavor. The sausages were dry and had very little flavor and had obviously been overcooked to the point where they were very dark brown. The baked beans were watery and the potato salad was also very salty. The hushpuppies were tasty, but were overcooked and the cinnamon butter was chunky with bits of butter unmixed in the cinnamon mixture. The cole slaw was mediocre, but it was the best of the sides. There were no utensils or napkins included with the order despite it being a carryout order. This meal cost me nearly $38.00. We threw about 85% of it away. It was truly just terrible and was actually some of the worst BBQ and sides that I've ever eaten and I've eaten at a lot of BBQ joints over the decades.

This was a couple of miles out of our way on the way home from Myrtle Beach, SC. Totally worth the extra couple of miles and to our surprise we could get beck on the highway nearby. The BBQ is very good, with lots of different types sauces. When you enter, you go to the counter and place your order. After ordering, you get a place card and your drink. Find a table and they bring your food out to you. We ordered a BBQ platter for @$8.00 each. It came with a drink, one side and the BBQ and sauce of our choice. We sat in front of the kitchen. We When we ordered, I noticed a very high health inspection score. This place was clean. The BBQ was very good. The sweet sauce was not too sweet with a good flavor.i had the macaroni and cheese which was above average. The potato salad looked great and according to my husband it was good.

Menu 6/25/20

Haven't tried the Southport location so this is my first time at the new second location. It's located next to Jimmy John's. The menu looks the same as the Southport location. Meals comes with one side and a second side for an additional dollar. Sausage is not made in-house, it's made in Shallotte. Dessert options were either banana pudding or cobbler of the day. Dog bones were also available. There are plenty of seats available, including booth seats. First place your order with the cashier, pick up your food when they call your name, and then find a table to sit down and eat. Order the two meat plate with pork ribs and brisket and a side of mac and cheese ($15.99). Both the ribs and brisket had good flavor but having just ate at Bone and Bean BBQ, the smoked flavor is not as pronounced as Bone and bean bbq. The meats were also not as tender. The ribs had a little kick to it, so may be too spicy if you're sensitive to heat. There are 7 different kinds of sauces to go with the smoked meats, listed with descriptions on a big map in front of the cashier. All the sauces were good but my favorite ones were the ones called sweet (Kansas), spicy (Texas), white (Alabama), and Lexington (Piedmont, NC). Mac and cheese was not that great, not flavorful. It was basically macaroni pasta mixed with melted cheddar cheese. Complimentary hush puppies were provided. These were the best food of the whole meal. Deep fried sweet little nuggets with pieces of corn. For dessert tried the blueberry (flavor of the day) cobbler ($2.99). It tasted just okay. The cobbler crust was not thick, it was thin and flaky.

Dried out burnt brisket sandwich.
Michael P.

Zero stars - dried out burn brisket in small portion bun. Place has a cafeteria ambiance. The is fast food bbq not a $12 brisket sandwich. Go to mission bbq for good bbq at same price point. Fast food counter service, no waiters no alcohol on premises. I tried to feed it to my dog, but she hated it too!

Pulled pork had no seasoning, pork ribs were so dry and no taste. Slaw was good and okra was hot. Not somewhere we plan to go again.

I was not in love but I think there are some caveats there because I am not the typical customer. First, we appear to have come right at the height of their dinner rush. It took a while to get seated. The hosts told us to sit at the bar and then the bartender kicked us out of our stools because we were waiting for a table and apparently the bar stools were only for people who were eating, so we had to go find a bench. When we did get seated they put us at a really weird high top in a separate room when there was a much nicer low top available in the main room that we switched to. I got the sense both that this place was kind of hectic and that they didn't think they needed our service. But then as we were eating it cleared out all of a sudden and we were the only people left at like...8 pm. Our server was...accetptable. Not rude, but kind of short. Compared to the lovely personable service we got at other places in Wilmington it felt...I dunno, New Yorky? Then there was the food. And here comes my biggest caveat. I am pescstarian and do not eat chicken. So I ordered a shrimp po boy. It was not good. Not bad. But not good. Especially for the price which, honestly, competed with the prices where I live in DC. Every other person around me ordered chicken. My husband ordered chicken. He really liked his chicken. So obviously, this is a place where you get chicken (if the name didn't make it obvious). Had I ordered chicken I likely would have enjoyed my meal a lot more. But if you have shrimp po boys on the menu, endeavor to make them decent or take them off. Also I subbed a side cesar instead of fries and it was an afterthought. The fries themselves were excellent. If I ate chicken and came back to Wilmington I would maybe give this place another shot but as it stands, nah.

We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious.

Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1. Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served w/chipotle ranch......Amazing!!!! Best we have ever had. 2. 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich had an amazing balance of ingredients that would make your mouth water. Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.

And my side was the potato salad. Also ordered the Wagyu Burger ; 8 ounce burger , lettuce (hold the tomato and cheese) aioli and toasted bun , for the side french fries. We were given a pager and told about 15 minutes. We ventured inside to find a seat and a beer . The pager buzzed and our food was ready . The food looked amazing, and smelled wonderful. I was concerned about the pastrami being to fatty , but it wasn't . It was lean and well seasoned. The bread to sandwich ratio was perfect and it was lightly buttered and toasted . One bite and I knew I was going to enjoy it. The potato salad had great flavored , perfectly seasoned. The burger was cooked to order , well seasoned and had great flavor. The fries were perfectly fried and well seasoned also. This is definitely a food truck that I would dine at again.

A few weeks ago I've had one of the worst burgers ever from a different food truck and was hesitant about ordering a burger from here but I'm so happy I did! It's a waygu burger. I asked for cheddar instead of the pimento cheese. It was one of the best burgers I've had. The only thing that would have made it better is if it was cooked medium. Maybe I could have asked. Idk. It was well but was still awesome. I consciously stopped eating my tots so I could have room to finish my burger. I can't say enough good things. I thought $17+ (includes tip) was too much for a burger and tots but it was worth it. I could eat this burger every day and I'm supposed to be a vegetarian
