Lem's Bbq House is awful Everytime I go by Lem's there is a line out the door, why? They are horrible. They do give you plenty of food but its so bad it doesn't matter. The sauce tastes as if they use vinegar in it. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Good food and fast service. You must wear a mask and social distance. They aren't playing with you.

I personally hate to leave this review as my family and I have been eating at Lems for 20 years. However my elderly father has been approached by the owner in a disrespectful manor serval times. Due to the behavior of the owner we will not be returning, when loyal customers patronize you for this long, I feel the least you can do is show a little respect and Courtesy. 

Business response:

Hi Jasmine, We are sorry for your negative experience. After further research, we’ve discovered your unpleasant encounter was not with our owner, but with one of our staff members. We have made the owner aware as a result of your post. Would you have any availability to have a conference with our owner so that we can we bring resolution? -Lem’s Social Media Manager
