Lee’s Barbecue & Catering Service

Family Owned Since 1969

The Lee Family bought this originally as a filling station with designs on turning it into a barbecue restaurant. Sid Lee’s father used to cook hash. The neighbors would come running whenever they knew he had a fresh batch cooking.

Sid took his father’s recipe and improve on it through several experiments until it evolved into the delicious hash they serve today. You must simply try it for yourself.

But there’s much more to Lee’s than the hash.
