We saw this place recommended online and decided to stop in late in the evening (8ish). They took our order fast and had it out crazy fast too. They had a wide selection of meats and sides and sauces. Everything was flavorful on its own without sauce, but their sauce selection was really tasty and rounded out the base seasoning really well. We had the chicken, pork, brisket, sausage, slaw, beer cheese grits, potato salad, baked beans, and mac and cheese. If we lived out here I would be back frequently for the good food, fair prices, and friendly people. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

A lot people mentioned this place to me and I believe they over sold it. I had high expectations. Seems that it wasn't fair considering someone that has tasted Texas Barbecue for 20+ years. Overall great experience, Great atmosphere, food was different, good flavor in the jalapeno sausage, good prices, and I loved the service energy towards the customers. I wasn't too thrilled with the parking conditions. Plenty parking if not busy. Next time, before I go, I will have to talk to more locals on what the hidden gems are at this place. Will definitely come by and try them again.

So so good. Season was perfect. I had pulled pork greens, baked beans, and cornbread. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow.

A must try. We usually stop on our way to TN and this place will not disappoint! If you're looking for authentic southern BBQ and southern dessert - THIS IS THE PLACE!

Delicious authentic BBQ, generous portions and multiple choices of sauces to add at the table: Kentucky Small Batch (my fave), Memphis Sweet, NC vinegar based, Texas, etc. Homey local atmosphere. Only downside is the popularity of the place. They do so much takeout and delivery, it can be a very long wait to get your food if you want to dine in.

The brisket is excellent, the fries are great!! This is the closest brisket flavor to Smitty's in Lockhart, Texas I've been able to find in the Lexington area! Staff is always friendly too! We love coming here and hope you never close!

Wife and I stopped here based upon the reviews on this site. Authentic southern barbecue. Food was very good although the ribs were a bit tough. Definitely go if you are looking for BBQ.

Service was great, sides were really good, pork/chicken/sausage were also great… would have given 5 stars but the brisket was cold and tough. Maybe it was an off day. Still have only found good brisket at 2 places between Cincinnati and Lexington.

The place smells old but don't let that fool you. The food is very good and filling. The people are friendly and service is fast. I will dine here again when I am in the area

I came in on October 14, close to end of day (around 8ish). I called in to pick up an order as I knew that it was getting close to the end of the day, and verify that I was still able to place an order. The girls were very kind when I picked up the order, and this is in no way reflection of their customer service. However, when I sat down to eat my meal, it had a piece of plastic in my sandwich. Also, one of the sides in my meal was wrong. For restaurant reference, they marked my name as Cara.

My husband and I got take out from Red State BBQ and it was the best BBQ I have had! So many sauces to choose. We got the family meal. Pulled pork and brisket, corn pudding, baked beans and potato salad. It came with buns. The pork with the sweet bbq sauce was fantastic and I can not say enough about the corn pudding! Yummy! My husband said the potato salad was the best he’s ever had. 10/10 will be back for more!

Sadly couldn’t think much about the food. Order lost. 30 minutes later, get order and it was wrong. Who knows if the food was good….

Oh and their cornbread was sweet. Just find somewhere else.
