Lexington Barbecue
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Lexington Barbecue has been doing Lexington-style pork one way since 1962: slow, salted, over oak and hickory, no fuss.
Lexington Barbecue, going since 1962, is the definition of Piedmont-style North Carolina 'cue: pork shoulder cooked low over coals, chopped or sliced, seasoned before the heat and left alone — no sauce in the pit. Southern Living readers keep voting it the state's best. Curb service available; closed Sundays and Mondays.
