“ Aubrey was our "carhop" (waitress) in the pull up and honk area. There were 4 of us and we had a fairly large order. Aubrey was tiny and very helpful. The wait was long for a fast food joint BUT Lee's is anything but. Fresh made burgers and homemade fries!! Plus old fashion sodas and shakes. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely go back every time we visit!! ”
“ Wait was pretty long but food was good. A little different than when I was growing up but it was still good. Ran out of green Chile. Seemed like only one waitress and she was running all over the place. Really felt sorry for her. She even apologized several times for the wait. We pulled up and ordered to go. ”
“ This is a good, little, quaint diner. Real good green chile. I had a half order of a smothered open face burger with fries. It delivered on the flavor and I was stuffed. All the staff was great - courteous, friendly and fast. I'm sure I'll be back through to try other menu items as I pass through Trinidad. ”
“ Walking into Lee’s BBQ felt like stepping back into my childhood. This place has that true old-school BBQ joint vibe — the kind that’s becoming rare these days. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and cooked just right. The service was warm and friendly, the kind that makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. And the atmosphere? Perfectly nostalgic, with an authenticity that makes the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, great atmosphere — I’ll definitely be coming back! ”
“ A cool little place that serves a variety of “American Cuisine” with a Southwest style. Service was great. I can attest that the Bbq Beef Sandwich with fries was amazing. ”
