Fodor's Expert Review L2 Texas BBQ

Taking its name from two owners (both named Larry), this barbecue joint moved to inherit the smoked meat addicts left stranded when Memphis Championship Barbecue abandoned the same location. The atmosphere is unchanged, and they didn't have to worry about the delicious smell of smoke that saturated the sheet-metal–accented interior. Barbecue fans are picky, but L2 seems to have held its own. It certainly delivers on quantity: the big hook is a $35, all-you-can-eat-in-one-hour special. Smaller appetites will find the usual one- or two-meat dinner platters, and those not so infatuated with barbecue will be happy to find an array of sandwiches and burgers to choose from for about $14, and even—gasp—a healthy roster of salads.
