    Coarse chop BBQ plate
    Gary L.

    Good food, quick service, fair pricing, best hush puppies I ever had... Coarse chop bbq plate was filling, slaw was good, dinner roll was great!

    Nice clean place with great service. I had the big brisket sandwich that comes with fries and beans. The brisket was tender, bun was grilled, fries were crisp and the beans had a great flavor. Prices were pretty good and the banana pudding was fantastic. Check them out!

    This was recommended by a local as being some of the best barbecue, therefore we had to stop. Walking into the restaurant, it had a nice casual vibe. We were able to pick any seat we wanted however what seem like a few minutes later the restaurant filled up quickly. Our waitress was excellent answering all the questions we had and making some good recommendations. I ordered the flounder which was good and filling. The hush puppies were my favorite part and were great. This being a good local restaurant I understand why.

    The place was packed when we arrived. Didn't take too long to be seated, though. The waitress was friendly and helpful in answering our questions. We had planned to go to Lexington Barbque. However, they weren't open. I guess we should have checked before driving 30 minutes. We were doing some siteseeing, so no biggie. It took 15 to 20 minutes to get our food, we thought that was a little long for a BBQ place, but again they were busy, and a chicken sandwich is not the same as BBQ, assuming that's why. It was rather noisy inside, not the best acoustics. The walls were decorated accordingly for a BBQ joint. Would we come back, ah, maybe. The food was decent, but nothing to write to momma about.

    My favorite Lexington style BBQ. The smoked chicken is really good too. Staff is always great.

    Lexington Barbecue was a fun stop with friends and exactly the kind of place where it is all about…read morethe food. The dining room is nothing fancy. There is a counter area when you first walk in and booths and tables in a dining room. Our servers were friendly and it seemed like all of the servers were checking in with us to see if we needed any refills. I had the chopped pork with slaw, served simply on a cardboard plate. There is nothing polished or pretentious about this place, but the BBQ was great. Even better were the hush puppies. Honestly, I could have made a meal out of those alone. I did not try the desserts, but others at the table said they were very good. Overall, this was a casual, enjoyable stop with great BBQ and hush puppies worth remembering.

    This was my second time to Lexington Barbecue, the first time years ago with a local buddy I had…read moreplayed golf with. I was underwhelmed that time but thought maybe it was because they were out of something I had wanted...a normal circumstance at bbq places. So when driving through recently, I decided to give it another go. What I realized this time is that the only barbecue product they have is pork shoulder...no ribs, no chicken, no brisket. (They do have fried fish) It is very lightly smoked and the sauce is a very thin watery substance. I understand that this is Carolina bbq....the place was packed, everyone looked happy, and someone looked over the divider and asked me if this was the best food I had ever had?? I was polite, but realize now that I am more of a Texas bbq guy....meat being really smoked....perhaps a little bit charred with a thick sauce, sometimes sweet or spicy but always with a decidedly hickory flavor. The place is very friendly and clean, we were seated promptly and the food came out quickly. Great fries and hush puppies!!

But I will start with this: the service was as friendly as it gets. People talk about Southern hospitality and that's what customers find in this restaurant. Smiles, charm, asking if you have any questions, the whole she-bang. I ordered the coarse chopped BBQ plate, since I am not a fan at all of super fine cut up pork to where it resembles cole slaw. Hey, I want to know it's meat when I see it! The pork tasted delightful. Super tender, a thin, light tomato/vinegar sauce. I never expected to have leftovers, but I wound up taking half the pork home! The meal came with two sides, and I opted for baked beans and potato salad. The beans were pretty standard, but the potato salad was quite good since it was a mustard based salad instead of mayo based. I went with rolls over hush puppies and I basically got two hamburger buns, so that may not have been my best decision. And I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink, and they not only gave me a foam cup of it, they also brought me a mini-pitcher on the side so I could pour my own refills! Very over the top and very impressive! And my bill was only $19 before tip! Good value, good food, good service.

Our group, admittedly, was a little puzzled by just how damn nice she was at first. But that's just our New York instincts naturally kicking in--we're just skeptical by nature. We heard great things about this place from the locals and knew we just had to eat here (twice, actually), so we knew we made the right choice as soon as we saw a family walk out with bags of food. Bridgett chatted us up all night and was genuinely interested in learning about us big city folks. Man, I have to say...it's been a while since I've had someone come up to me and be so curious about meeting someone who grew up and lives in NYC (because everyone does these days, right?), and it was nice to have that raw curiosity again. Her radiant energy is so damn infectious. Her food is prepared with passed-down recipes from her grandmother. Portions are massive and that is not an understatement. We all got plates with 2 sides and bread and even with our big appetites, most of us only got through halfway or a little more.
