Lexington Barbecue

Lexington Barbecue is a barbecue restaurant known for Lexington-style pork shoulder, cooked for nearly half a day over oak and hickory coals and dressed with a tomato-ketchup sauce. The menu centers on chopped and sliced barbecue plates, trays and sandwiches, with hush puppies, French fries and slaw on the side. The restaurant was founded in 1962 by Wayne Monk on US Highway 29/70 in Lexington.

The restaurant serves dine-in, curb service and carryout, and it offers catering with food, drinks and paper goods. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 9pm, and it is closed Sundays and Mondays. Barbecue is sold by the pound for carryout, and sauce, slaw and dips can be bought to take home.
