Excellent southern hospitality, quick service, and delicious Lexington BBQ. We especially enjoyed the 1/2 rack of ribs, hush puppies, and Pig Pickin' Cake. We'll be back soon to try their skin sandwich (we were told it's like a meatier pork rind). read more

Read the reviews, saw the outside pictures of the chopped wood. Thought I would give their BBQ a try. I pulled up, rolled down my window to smell the smoke, but not a whiff of smoke in the air. Drove around the building. Saw a pile of chopped wood but curious why there wasn't smoke in the air. I got inside and still didn't smell the smoke. Their BBQ is Lexington Style Pork BBQ. Chopped, Sliced or Rough Chopped. I ordered the Chopped BBQ which comes with 2 sides and hush puppies or a roll. I got the white slaw, fried okra and hush puppies. They have really good hush puppies. The okra was fried perfectly and had a nice batter on them. The white slaw was fresh. The BBQ was missing smoke. All around, minus the hush puppies, my plate was lacking some seasoning. I added salt but it didn't improve anything. That's all I'm gonna say about that. I know a lot of people like this place. They are generous with their portions. My server was great. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and helpful. You try it and be the judge. read more

I have to come back here because I can't stop thinking about this place. Great Lexington barbecue. I thoroughly enjoyed my fried chicken wings and their French fries are perfect. Even their hush puppies are one of the best I've had. Hush puppies were bite size and little small but I didn't care lol, they were so good! I'll be back, have to try their half smoked chicken. Service was great and place was very clean. read more

If you enjoy good Carolina BBQ and friendly service at a good price then this is your place. We came over on a rainy Saturday afternoon, our server Kensley, was very nice and took our order promptly. This is a typical looking Lexington BBQ, but the food was truly one of the better Lexington BBQ places. I ordered a large coarse chopped pork plate with a bun. It comes with coleslaw and hush puppies. The hush puppies were small, but the bit size morsels were well cooked and a little ray of sunshine in the mouth. The slaw was typical of the Lexington style, not my favorite type of slaw, but good none the less. I had a side of sauce that topped off the large portion of pork great, both when it was in the bun or I had to finish it separately and dip it. Good place and thanks to Kensley for taking care of us on the visit. read more

Waitress Ladies were delightful and from the cleanliness you can tell they work hard to keep it so inviting!!! Food so good you can't wait to comeback so you try the other items. Best PORK BBQ &Burgers. Bathrooms are clean and tables in the booths are very clean!! I guarantee you will love this Restuarant & the ladies too!! read more

Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. My son and I met at Speedy Lohr's BBQ last week for lunch. He had a Brown chopped sandwich at fries.I had a Coarse brown chopped plate. It was delicious.My wife and I was in the area and I pulled in just to see if 2 visits in a row would be as good as last week. Definitely not to be confused because I was hungry last week but today I ordered another Brown Coarse chopped plate again. My sides were potato salad and slaw.. My wife got a chopped plate with fries and slaw. We both got hush puppies instead of rolls. My plate was just as good as last week's and those little round hush puppies that serve was the best part of the meal.My wife enjoyed her plate but had to put it in a box for leftovers tonight.Service was spot on.The BBQ was just amazing. Every bite chunk on my plate had just the right amount of brown and that good smoky taste. We just might have to pay them another visit. I grew up about a mile and a half from the place so it was a place we would frequently visit. read more

The chicken was been cooked differently than before. It doesn't have that Bar-B-Q texture or flavor that it use to

This is a mom and pop place that is always consistent with great fresh ffood . I wish they had coke products but can't get everything I want. Definitely recommend this place to anyone read more

Speedy is a nice place to get a good meal, and some great barbecue. The folks have always been nice to me here, and the prices are not too bad even in this truckling economy. It's small, but worth the trip! read more

The BBQ was really good. Loved the hush puppies the server was great. She made sure our glasses were always full. The food came out quickly. The only negative was that they forgot to bring out the hush puppies and we had to ask for them but overall it was a great experience. read more

A Lexington staple, speedy lohrs has been serving the community for generations. I was sad to see Mr Lohr himself close the one off the corner of Enterprise Rd. A chopped bbq plate with two sides and the crunchiest huspuppies this side of 150 you've seen won't set you back much. The kindest servers and best service you'll see at this bbq joint. I hope it's around for many years to come. Sincerely, A Lexington born and raised girl. read more

I did not get pics since we ordered food to go, but I will say the lady who owns this restaurant is one of the friendliest people I ever met. Restaurant is a cute little diner. We were in Lexington for BBQ fest that had not BBQ (but that's for another review). This place had the highest rating so we tried it. We got chopped bbq plates with potato salad and baked beans for our sides, also 1/2 rack of ribs with same sides. The food was sooooo good and the ribs were fall off the bone tender. We wanted to try the meat skins which is a popular menu item, but only available mid week until they run out, so I will definitely go back. read more

One of my favorite BBQ places in Lexington. Good food and the portions are good too. The service is always great.

What an absolute jewel of a find! My husband and I were in Lexington, North Carolina this last weekend, and happened upon this amazing barbecue place. When we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest lady I've ever met. She was funny and matched my husband's silliness. She gave us great recommendations while we looked at the menu. We both got a chopped barbecue plate. We're so hungry. We forgot to take a picture before we had eaten half of it. Chopped barbecue, slaw and fries were amazing! To top everything off, we did order the banana pudding. You could definitely tell it was homemade! Probably one of the best things we had was their hush puppies. We will definitely go back and I would highly recommend this place if you're ever in town. read more

Good food for good price, services is always super nice and fast. Just a small bbq place.

I have several food allergies, and the staff is always wonderful about avoiding cross contamination and even brings me the bag of buns to read the ingredients so they feel sure it's safe for me. It's always delicious, and the staff is so kind. My husband also loves their banana pudding -- They give the largest serving of banana pudding I've ever seen! -- I love getting their peppery dip to put my fries in! When I'm craving barbecue, this is where I go. read more

This is the real deal in Lexington Style NC BBQ. We spotted Speedy Lohr's from a distance by the smoke from their pits. Stepping out of the car, the sweet smoke was strong and brought a huge smile to my face and quickened my step. There are several outstanding bbq places in Lexington and Speedy Lohr's is definitely on the short list. This place is as a traditional bbq joint should be. Unremarkable building. Red checked tablecloths. Friendly waitresses carrying pitchers of iced tea. Ain't nothing fancy here. No craft beer. No wine list. They do offer lots of breakfast options at good prices for you early birds. Pit cooked bbq chicken is available on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Ribs can be had on Friday. Non-bbq options include burgers, fried flounder, corn dogs, chicken wings, and salads. If you brought someone who can't find something to eat here, I'd just leave them at home next time. read more

Speedy Lohr's BBQ - Course chopped bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Lexington, North Carolina

We decided to make a bbq run today. Where did we look? Lexington, of corse! We planned on a regular stop, at the last minute decide to broaden our bbq palate. We went to Speedy Lohr'r BBQ just south of Lexington. Great choice! The bbq was great...lightly seasoned with no fat or gristle. They served an excellent dip on the side so you could add s much as you please. The sides...fried okra & squash were home cooked. No battered frozen vegetables here. The crinkle cut fries were cooked perfectly. Did I mention the hush puppies. Phenomenal! If in the area, give it a try. read more

Delicious Piedmont/Western North Carolina BBQ! Service was excellent and friendly. Every server who walked by asked how the food was and did I want a refill on my tea. Ambiance is "iconic ol'-time BBQ joint". That is, nothing fancy. read more

Lexington style pit smoked BBQ. Since I am a life long Californian, not sure what that is exactly, but we liked it. DH had the 1/2 BBQ chicken with hush puppies. His two sides were red slaw and baked beans. He loved it and cleaned his plate. I had the coarse chopped plate with buns. My two sides were okra (deep fried) and baked apples. They were out of both the sweet potato casserole and the green beans. The pork was chunks of smoked meat, a huge portion. The buns were hamburger buns. The okra was very good. The baked apples were slices and seemed canned, unlike the whole baked apples I've had back home. There was so much food on my plate, I filled the 2 buns with smoked pork for our plane trip home tomorrow. Great food at really reasonable prices. Very nice servers with southern hospitality. read more

Hush puppies were the first time I've ever had them with BBQ where they were worth it. The rough chop showed off how well cooked and tender the meat. I came in with high expectations and they exceeded them read more

We were crossing the state of NC and wanted to taste some authentic southern BBQ. I jumped on YELP and found Speedy Lohr's BBQ with really great reviews. So we stopped and boy, oh boy were we glad we did! As soon as we walked inside, we smelled the delicious aroma of BBQ and we knew we had come to the right place. All of the staff acknowledged us when we walked in and said sit wherever you want. The waitress answered our questions and took our order within 5 minutes of our arrival. Before we knew it our food arrived at the table....Speedy Lohr's. I ordered the chopped BBQ plate with hushpuppies, baked beans and red cole slaw and as good as it was, I could not finish all of it - what a generous portion! The staff were very nice, the portions were gracious plenty and the whole place was clean! We were there for about 40 minutes and the amount of people in and out, on the phone and in the booths was a true testament to their quality, cleanliness, and popularity. Seriously, put this place on your list! It's great. read more

I would like to report that nothing's changed. It's a great place to stop off of number 8 on your way to Southmont or High Rock Lake. He ha Place has great barbecue and flounder plates daily. Really great homemade hamburgers and hot dogs cooked to order. Daily home cooking specials, what more could you ask for. Also has homemade cakes. I suggest the pig picking or the Hershey cake. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, they have really good pit cook barbecue chicken. Fridays, and sometimes it rolls over into Saturday they have great smoked ribs, some of the best you'll ever find in this area. I recommend they're hot dip it has a little Zing to it. Regular rib and barbecue dip is awesome. The sides here are tasty. You have bake beans, red and white slaw, and of course, crinkle cut fries and fried okra. Also has banana pudding daily. Nice little ball hush puppies. Also offers barbecue salads and grilled chicken salads. I'm the diners and dives guy that likes the three C's. Great customer service, cleanliness, and cost-effectiveness. They get the award here! God bless America. read more

True comfort food! Love their daily specials. large portions and friendly southern service. Their BBQ is something to try! It has a true smoked flavor and the BBQ sauce on it isn't too tangy or sweet - just perfect. Breakfast is served in large portions as well. I usually get the Fried tenderloin plate with a biscuit, gravy, and eggs. the biscuits are almost the size of your face! Service is so friendly, you seat yourself when you come in and the servers take turns making their rounds around the dining area. Food comes out hot! Sometimes in the summer the flies are bad.. They are bad inside and worst outside.. I hope they can do something a little better with getting them out there or staying outside. They have a breeze way when you come in the main door, but no fan to keep them out as you're walking in. read more

Staff were nice & friendly. The pork was good; they didn't have any barbecue chicken the day we went had a piece of grilled chicken instead. It was missing some flavor if we were in town longer would go back to try the barbecue chicken. read more

The best barbecue sandwiches in the traditional Lexington style barbecue fashion! Always has been my mainstay for barbecue since the seventies and they've managed to uphold that traditional quality over my life time to present. Dang shame that government is displacing them. Hope, however, that they can relocate. read more

Well, they're back in business at this great BBQ joint. The place had been closed for 13 months after a major fire, and finally reopened in late July, and the food is as good as ever. We came down on Sunday because they serve BBQ Chicken on the weekends, and it is excellent. The Chopped BBQ is also great, typically Lexington style, with some nice smokiness. Both the Hush Puppies and the BBQ Slaw are very nice here, though U+I'd pass on the FFs. The service is very good, these are down home, country folks. read more

Speedy's convinced me that i don't distaste vinegar based bbq sauce after all! You can drive up and honk your horn for car-side service or stop in for speedy (no pun intended) service as well! The employees make you feel like family, even if you do only spend 20 minutes in the restaurant -- 5 of which includes inhaling your food! I got the chopped plate (which I would recommend) with baked beans and white slaw, with a side of hush puppies, and wow was I satisfied! The bbq was super moist and the vinegar sauce had amazing flavor, where I didn't feel like I had to drown the pork in additional sauce. The hushpuppies were delicious, and the smallest I've ever seen them (because of that though, they're a bit more greasy than most larger puppies)! You'll be full and happy! read more
