★★★★★ 5.0 Lauren Wagner-Miles · Feb 2026

The burnt ends are hands down the best I’ve ever had! Great ribs, pulled pork, and sides as well. If you leave hungry, it’s your own fault. 😉 Friendly staff and quick service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julie Smith · Mar 2026

I have only been once, but it won't be my last. This is my new favorite BBQ place! The pulled pork was perfectly done, and the large portion was absent of large amounts of fat like other places. The large square of corn bread so yummy and moist. I could have eaten a dozen more! The baked beans had tons of flavor, and extra cole slaw that I ordered was delicious! Overall, this place is not only delicious but the prices can't be beat! The only reason I didn't score the atmosphere higher is because it's a casual, nothing fancy kind of place. It was clean and had ample seating options. I can't wait to go back!!

I’m not sure why we waited so long to try this place! This was easily some of the best brisket and burnt ends I’ve ever had! The sausage was on point too as well as the sides. I love Dave’s here in town but this easily gives it a run. Will definitely be back!

Juicy bbq goodness and the best we've had so far. A friend from N Carolina gave this place a gigantic thumbs up. I could drink the Carolina gold bbq sauce with no shame. Go here to grub hard. Can't wait to go back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Rinaldi · Nov 2025

I’ve been to 38 states, this is the best BBQ I have ever had. The burnt ends are absolutely phenomenal. Ive been in Lexington for two days so far, tried this place the first day. Then went to red state, ate there, and decided I needed to come here again right after. 10/10
