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!!

Water service came immediately and they were patient as we looked over the menu to decide and with our questions about the menu. Our server was very friendly and also gave great menu recommendations. We were a party of 5 and everyone was pretty much satisfied with their choice and meal. The food did take some time to come out with the place not being full. I ordered the brisket sandwich only with a side of baked beans and hush puppies. The baked beans and hush puppies were amazing! The brisket left something to be desired. I was hoping for more favor and char and the bread was also soggy when it came out. It wasn't bad but would probably not order it again. My sister had the sirloin which had a great flavor! The place filled up around 6. Almost all tables were occupied as opposed to when we arrived the whole back room was empty. Over a good first time BBQ experience.

Was looking for some great bbq in Lexington and someone told me they have the best "dip" in town…read more They may not be as well known as the other places in town but that just made it easier to get a table at lunchtime. The chopped bbq was great and the dip (sauce) leans a little heavier on the ketchup and a little lighter on the vinegar but still has great flavor. The sign outside and the ambience inside shows the restaurant's age but that's part of the experience. Not fancy but a great bbq and very good sides.

Speedy's had no problem serving us and filling our bellies. Two cups of Diet Dr Pepper quickly arrived at our table, along with a full pitcher, which was nice. My chopped sandwich was good, it had a large hunk that had not been chopped thru but there was already so much meat in the sandwich that it was not really an issue. Sauce was served in cups with spoons. The hush puppies were ok, a bit lukewarm/chewy, I imagine because we were there mid-afternoon when they are not having to churn them out so frequently. Lots of "pig" decor in the entryway and vintage signage on the wall, "typical NC BQ restaurant" atmosphere.

This is a typical looking Lexington BBQ, but the food was truly one of the better Lexington BBQ places. I ordered a large coarse chopped pork plate with a bun. It comes with coleslaw and hush puppies. The hush puppies were small, but the bit size morsels were well cooked and a little ray of sunshine in the mouth. The slaw was typical of the Lexington style, not my favorite type of slaw, but good none the less. I had a side of sauce that topped off the large portion of pork great, both when it was in the bun or I had to finish it separately and dip it. Good place and thanks to Kensley for taking care of us on the visit.

Pros Really nice staff Great menu options Tasty food Plenty of seating Large portions Cons Some sides are on the salty side (may not be too salty for everyone) A lot of upcharges Cornbread tasted old I ordered the neck bones over rice with yams and collards. The neck bones were tender and flavorful. The yams were prepared well with a little sweetness. The collards were a little salty but edible. My husband ordered the fried chicken, potato salad, and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese is amazing and worth the uncharge. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with a good flavor. The potato salad was heavy on the mustard. Definitely recommend if in the area. Great for families.

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.
