Double "LL" Bar-B-Q was a barbecue restaurant at 1371 Bessemer Road in Birmingham's Central Park neighborhood. It was founded in 1950 by Louis Lovoy and later operated by his son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Fanny Lovoy.
A second Double LL Bar-B-Q was located on Lomb Avenue. The Central Park location was demolished by an F2 tornado on May 6, 1967. It was rebuilt and continued to operate into the 1980s.
Another location in Vestavia Hills, formerly operated as Lovoy's Italian Restaurant at 2931 Columbiana Road, was succeeded by Tony Alexander's Ranch House Bar-B-Q in the early 1980s.
