18 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Lexington

“Bring your appetite and conversation. Great food, atmosphere and experience“

“Absolutely the best BBQ in Lexington. The staff is second to none, very courteous and knowledgeable. Go now and see for yourself!“

“Exactly what you’d expect - the kind of BBQ place you don’t wear a white shirt to go eat at. I had the brisket, which was tender and delicious and perfectly smoky. The Mac and cheese was great, and I really liked the corn pudding. It was a fantastic lunch to fuel an afternoon round of golf!“

“First time trying because we got a gift card for Christmas ~ very happy that we received that, otherwise we might not have ever tried it. Fresh cooked food & delicious. Server was very friendly & quite helpful. We’ll be back.“

“Big judge of restaurants by their coleslaw and these folks got the mayo slaw right. Not to mention probably some of most tender sliced pork I’ve ever had. Order the corn pudding too - so sweet, it should be a dessert. These are really down to earth folks and their customers represent all of Lexington.“

“Our servers were excellent. I believe his name was Giovanni.“

“If I could live here I would. Food is great, staff are fun, atmosphere is cozy and stylish with a quirky vibe. Cocktails are a highlight, but don’t look past the wine list - they do a really good job curating awesome wines you won’t easily find around town. The two person booth under the stuffed buffalo head in December is the most magical seat in Lexington. The patio in the summer (especially when the tent is up) makes for an awesome place to meet friends and watch the sunset while having a custom margarita & the best wings in the US. Menu changes monthly, make sure you hit the specials but NEVER, I mean never skip the wings.Parking: Don’t let parking intimidate you. You can park on in street for free in a 3 block radius.“

“Was at proud Mary's for mothers day and had an wonderful time. Food was amazing. Upstairs bathroom was super clean. Out side area was super clean staff was also amazing and super clean. I see comments about an bathroom being not so clean. Well here is what I have to say don't let your children stuff whole roles of butt paper in the John's and if u make a mess let some one know. And the place is very old and down stair is an over flow restroom u would be complaining if it was closed. Yes it has water in floor but also seen a boy and girl playing in sink and stall. Over 5 out of if I could give 6 stars I would.“

“This place is not really made for a large party. We had 10, and only 1 table would fit us. We did call ahead and they had the seating ready for us. The food was pretty good, not the largest portions. The Brisket Dip sandwich was probably the best of the table. The brussel sprouts were quite done (like burnt), so that was the only thing we had to send back. The staff took great care of us. Might go back for a party o 2 or 4, not larger.“

“I am the owner and it took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. The incident you are speaking of is not true. You weren’t a customer. You were with that group that got upset and ask you not to take up all of my customer parking, then got mad and threw a dirty diaper out in my parking lot. You are more than welcome to message me or come in and I can show you the video. I would love to invite you for a free meal, we can watch the video and remedy this situation.“

“We stayed at a terrible hotel with way over priced food down the street. Went here instead. It was 30 mins till closing. They were basicly empty. However, food was great. It was hot and all seemed fresh. Meat was tender and moist. Everything was clean and it smelled great. Employees were all super friendly and upbeat. Will eat here again for sure.“

“Big shout out to all of the employees! They helped me out when my husband was having diabetic issues. They got me a quick coke, ice cream and then a fast burger. You are the best!“

“Best brisket I’ve ever had! Corn pudding good too.“

“On my way to Georgia and got the grumbles. BBQ was on my mind. Yelped what's in the area and Red State pops up. Divey BBQ spots are usually the best and this place didn't disappoint!! People wrote on the walls and ceilings and I loved it. Half slab of ribs, beer cheese grits and fried green tomatoes. Boom. Texas something or ruther bbq sauce. Oh and PEACH bread pudding. Oh and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale (8.2%) Ribs-perfect smoke. Fall off the bone. Sauce so good I couldn't tell the rib from my finger and bit myself. Beer cheese grits- damn. Just damn. Fried green tomatoes- good but I've had better. Peach Bread Pudding- cmon. Peach cobbler had a baby with bread pudding?? I'm about to lose feeling in my toes. So damn good that I could care less about taking pics. If you're In the area and get the hankering for some meat sweats, stop here. You won't be sorry.“

“Tremendous. I got the pork-out plate. Pulled pork, both spicy and Mild kielbasa and ribs plus two sides. Ample portions, and I would 'pit' the quality of this barbecue against any of the best in the seven states I have lived. Even Kansas City. The cook here is a pro. Do yourself a favor and make a special trip.“

“This place is a regular spot for me and my Husband. We love the southwest shrimp for a starter. Pair that with a bowl of loaded potato soup and bread for an awesome meal.Hubby likes their burgers and I enjoy their salmon. There are many good tasty meals to choose from.“

“The food was amazing, and our server as well as the chef went above and beyond. We had a great experience would definitely go back. I ordered the pimento cheese sandwich and it was great. My son ordered the prime rib sandwich and says it was the best meat he’s ever tasted.“

“Ms Elizabeth J. Is wonderful. A guest of ours came in to praise us. Let us know how good the vibes are in our restaurant. Ms Elizabeth really liked the atmosphere food and our professionalism.. Ms Elizabeth, thank you so much! Look forward to seeing you again! Sonny’s mgr and team“
