Barbecue Center Inc

What a great barbecue place! Lexington is well-known for its barbecues, and Bar-B-Q Center is a perfect example of this. Since you enter, you can feel the smell of pit cooked pork and chicken. The hush puppies are phenomenal, the chicken breast with the barbecue sauce is out of this world, the pulled pork tender and tasty, and the service was A+. We didn't try the banana split, but I know it is famous.

I've been to this place a few times and they have made some significant improvements. The barbecue was much smoke here in Tinder. The Banana Split Mountain was absolutely Bonkers. It was one of those things that a restaurant has to have to really be known for. The service was also phenomenal. We came in at an hour before closing with a party of almost 20 people and they were fantastic.

The day I can't smoke better pork than the stuff I had today at the Bar-BQ Center of Lexington, is the day I'll toss my Weber Smoker in the dumpster. I mean, green beans should not be the best thing on your plate in a town that's renowned for it's BBQ. Pit Smoked BBQ should not taste like under cooked, fatty, boiled pork. The turkey salad basically consisted of shredded turkey loaf on a bed of bland ice berg lettuce. The hush puppies were dry, the slaw was disgusting... Not good. You shouldn't come home hungry after making a special day-trip to a town with a reputation built on it's BBQ.

This was the final stop on our North Carolina BBQ crawl while driving across the state and it didn't disappoint. Their serving sizes are large so depending on the amount of leftovers you want, share a plate. The bbq chicken is amazing, especially the dark meat. Of course their chopped pork is awesome, it really is some of the best we tried. Also they have a red coleslaw there, which is something I've never heard of but it's pretty great. Instead of mayo they use like a ketchup, vinegar and horseradish-type of sauce. Try it! Reasonable prices, friendly service and great food.
