Our Story

Mistah Lee’s Smokin’ Good BBQ began humbly in Delray Beach, Florida, with a smoker, a kitchen, and a passion fueled by Lee Stransky’s desire to be the best pitmaster out there. This passion started in his 20s when he went from just sampling every BBQ stop, he could find, to taking private smoking lessons from renowned pitmasters and reading everything he could on the subject…you might say he devoured all things BBQ. After a decade of learning and a passion-driven quest for excellence, he met Marc Fine, who grew up in the restaurant business as a part of the family-owned renowned Klein’s Seafood of greater Pittsburgh.

Klein’s, an icon, which closed after nearly a century, was home to athletes and celebrities alike, and taught Marc operations from the ground up which he later formalized with a degree in Hotel Restaurant Management. Over the years while Marc pursued growth and successfully sold other businesses, his passion for hospitality never wavered. As fate would have it, he met Lee at a charitable dinner event held by the Red Meat Lover’s Club and now comes the good part… Just 3 months later, Marc and Lee team up and the food truck is born!

Fast forward after 2 years of winning multiple awards and being called on to feed the likes of ESPN, Delta Airlines, the NHL, and others, Lee, the Smok in’ Don, and Marc decided to take their awarding-winning BBQ to a fast-casual setting in Boynton Beach, Florida.

With an efficient state-of-the-art kitchen, featuring multiple custom built smokers the lifelong restauranteur and the award winning Pitmaster wow their guests like no other in the business. On a personal note…As the founders of Mistah Lee’s, we strive every day to inject our passion for BBQ and hospitality to deliver an incredibly flavorful meal and an outstanding experience.
