now should you decide to go to Lexington, ...well let me just say that there are 38 bbq places in Davidson County, and 20 are in or around
Lesington. Finney lives near there, and will be along to add his advice. I believe Raine is also familiar with several joints there. I'll just add a few of the big boys.
The Barbecue Center: Shoulders, over mostly hickory. Sliced available.
Order what you want, Mr. Brown, extra fat, no fat, all white....they give you what you like. Lexington dip. Red slaw. Famous banana splits. Featured in Southern Living, on Good Morning America, and more.
It's a mecca in the mecca. 900 North Main Street. 336-248-4633
Jimmy's BBQ: Jimmy worked Warner Stamey and Sid Weaver, both Lexington godfathers. Shoulders over oak and hickory. Sliced available. Red and white slaw. Dip is not as spicy. Great chicken.
1703 Cotts Grove Rd. 336-357-2311
Lexington BBQ (formerly Lexington Number 1.): owned by godfather Wayne Monk. They have 5 pits using hickory and oak. Shoulders and turkey breasts. Again, order what you like, dark, white lean etc. Dip is a little thinner than some. Red slaw, but more pinkish. I-85 Business Loop, 336-249-9814
