Cozy little town eatery. Serving anything BBQ& smoked you can think of. The prices are good and the quantity and quality of food even better! It's a busy, hopping lil' place, but the wait wasn't too bad and worth it. The potato salad was a good southern style type, and the coleslaw even though it's red is not overpowered w vinegar. Glad we Google Mapped it ahead of our route coming home from Louisiana! Thank you BackCountry Barbeque for the fantastic lunch! The Powells

When I'm home, this is my go to barbeque place. I have never been disappointed. I have always been treated like I belong there. Friendly service, great food, and a wonderful location.

Small, hole in the wall BBQ restaurant in Linwood (lexington, NC). Off the beaten path and probably blink and youll miss it. Not too big, not too small. Service was quick, food was out quick, hot and tasty. Everything tasted good. There was a sweetness to the brisket I wasnt a big fan off, but thats just me. The brisket was pull apart tender, not all fatty and moist. I had the potato salad with, which was good, just something a ingredient I couldnt put my finger on was a tad too much on the backend. She got the chicken and pork combo, both good. Baked beans were real good. Fries, while fresh are just standard crinkle cut, nothing special. Now the hushpuppies...they were damn good. Perfect sized, not too oniony, browned to perfection. Our server was patient and all smiles, noise

I love Lexington bbq. We came thru on Sunday, and most places were closed. It was a pleasant surprise to find Backcountry open. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and seated just as fast. We hit them just at 1 pm. We got our drinks just after being seated. Menus were at the table, and while I didn't need it, the spread they offered looked amazing as we watched the various meats come from the kitchen. We got pulled pork and brisket and the slaw. Pork was tender and flavorful. Their sauce wasn't overbearing, but if you wanted more, they brought some for you. Brisket was also amazing, though they could do without saucing it and leave that up to the customer. The meat should stand on its own, and I prefer brisket without sauce. Again, it was still very tasty and tender.

Every time I come to Lexington, I'll stop here for the Brisket sandwich. Not over cooked and dried out. Delicious!
