★★★★★ 5.0 Graham Hudspeth · Mar 2026

Fantastic Barbecue, sides and banana pudding! We drove from Bowling Green for an event, wanted good barbecue and we found it. We dined in but decided to order more and take it home. I noticed several people eating there for the first time and they did the same. We tried the brisket, pulled pork, and smoked turkey, fantastic! My favorite sides were the creamy potato salad and collard greens that melted in your mouth. The owners were so friendly and helpful, I want to thank them for a wonderful experience.

No lie, BEST BBQ my family and I have ever had. The Pulled Pork and Brisket with their house made honey glaze is absolutely fantastic. The Owner and his family are so kind and welcoming. We will be coming back for sure!

I’ve been wanting to stop in here for so long, and I finally got the chance to! I wish I would’ve checked it out earlier! First of all, the people are just the absolute sweetest. They wanted to know all about me and since it was my first time there, they gave me a little taste of some thing that is a popular dish of theirs so I could try it, and so on. We talked all about our hometowns and how/why we ended up in Lexington. It was such a nice time. The people are so friendly and it was a very memorable part of my experience. The barbecue was absolutely delicious. The sauce on my pulled pork sandwich made it already juicy and tasty enough without the other sauces, but the other sauces taste great with the food too, and it’s super tasty. I didn’t order it, but they gave me a taste of the bri

LX BBQ might be a small spot, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in flavor and passion. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, and you can really feel the love for BBQ the moment you walk in. The food speaks for itself — perfectly cooked, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. It’s clear that the guys behind LX BBQ genuinely care about what they’re serving. There’s real heart in the food, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for authentic BBQ made with passion, LX BBQ is absolutely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

LX BBQ is nothing short of a hidden gem — a place where warm hospitality, mouthwatering flavors, and genuine Southern comfort all come together perfectly. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with an inviting atmosphere that feels both rustic and welcoming — the kind of spot where you instantly feel at home. The staff is absolutely wonderful — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they care deeply about both their food and their guests, which makes every visit feel special. Now let’s talk about the food — the star of the show! The brisket was absolutely phenomenal — tender, smoky, and perfectly seasoned, melting in your mouth with every bite. It’s easily some of the best brisket you’ll find anywhere, hands down. Every side dish complements
