speedy bbq incorporated

barbq - showdown. being a barbq fan, after moving to charlotte and hearing all the hoopla about nc (eastern vs. western & sc) barbq i decided to head to lexington (nc bbq capitol) to conduct a test. i visited 3 joints: lexington,speedy's& barbecue center. each one is good in it's own way and the people working in all 3 very friendly. the spicy vinergary sauce takes some getting use to, but i like it. the red (barbq) coleslaw is odd (except in nc) and kinds grows on ya - having hush puppies as a common side dish is kinda kool. after going to each restaurant and ordering the same (pork sandwich) item for comparison my conclusion is thatspeedy'shas the best bbq and provided a much larger portion of meat per sandwich. however, it is also my conclusion (after living in nc for almost 3 years) that nc bbq is not on the same level as texas, kansas city, or memphis by any stretch of the imagination, actually tn & ky rate much higher than nc bbq. none the less, nc folks love their type(s) of bbq, and that's all that matters ( ;

best lexington bbq. we lovespeedy's- the food, the service, and the prices. all of the food is superb, but the bbq is in our opinion, the best in lexington! it is warm, moist, and flavorful with the mild smoky flavor we crave. portions are generous. we absolutely love the chili cheese fries and the hot dogs. their hamburgers are worthy of mentioning, carolina style with chili and slaw. we order them "all the way" with onions and mustard. yum! we use the curb service often, but we also enjoy eating inside. the dining room is small, but not stuffy. your glass is always full, and the service is fast. the waitresses are always kind, especially to children and old folks. we highly recommendspeedy'sand our entire family prefers them over lexington bbq.
