All I've got to say, the dude's who own Brickstore, have outdone themselves. Just around the corner from BS, Leon's is in the old gas station/antique store. Wonderful community driven spot, singles, couples w/children, the girlz of Decatur, and the overall community spirit. Very similar beer selections as Brickstore, but with some of the best gourmet pub grub around. After ordering our beers, it was starters of Pub Frites, w/choice of two sauces. We chose the Spicy Mango Catsup & Fresh Horseradish Mayo. These babies, we could make a meal of, with the beer, and cozy booth. But we wanted the full experience of this new hot spot. I ordered the Slow Roasted Beef Brisket, w/Black Peppercorn gravy, fried onions. serverd open faced. Oh man, grandma never made brisket like this. My buddy, Birkenstock kind of guy, had the earth seared ""Veggie Loaf"", w/roasted cauliflower-shitake sundried sauce, sundried tomato salad w/a pecan romesco. He was in veg-head heaven. Service was great, laidback, no rush, and just the overall experience has crowned Leon's a new hang-out joint.
Pros: Great Beer Selection, Outstanding Bar Grub, & Frites!
Cons: Can't Decide Whether it's Leon's or Brickstore!
