    Banana Pudding
    Lisa B.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
