stamey's barbecue

nuckles barbecue. although i am no longer a resident of greensboro, i remember stamey's...verygoodbbq, but when it comes to piedmont bbq, my father, jesse w. nuckles was the king and the first bbq restaurant in greensboro. stamey's was in lexington, if i'm not mistaken or nearby....then moved to greensboro.

if you are in greensboro and looking for agoodbarbecue joint to eat at, just start following the signs around the city for the greensboro coliseum and you will end up at stamey's old fashioned barbecue right across the street from the coliseum. stamey's has been serving up their lexington-style barbecue f0r over seventy years to north carolina residents with a whole of lot of tradition and a whole lot of wood. the original stamey's location, the one i went to, is located across the street from the greensboro coliseum. i went a few days before the acc men's basketball tournament started so it wasn't too busy. they are normally slammed during the tournament or whenever other big events come to the coliseum so make sure that you get there early so you don't have to wait in line forever. you can get in and out of stamey's pretty fast so it is a great lunch spot to hit up if you are trying to get back to work. i ordered the combination plate with a cup of brunswick stew. even though bruns

some people think stamey's is a great lexington style bbq restaurant, but i feel it is simply an average one.  it is perfectly adequate, but in a bbq-intensive region like the piedmont triad, adequate doesn't get you far enough.  there are several other "q" restaurants in the area i prefer over stamey's, including little richards, bib's, and camel city bbq in winston, and kepley's and country bbq in high point.  the actual pork at stamey's has agoodsmokey flavor (perhaps a bit smokier than i would like), but was too dry.  their sauce is a "dip" style and doesn't do that much to moisten things.  however, the prices are very affordable, and the ambiance has that old bbq lodge atmosphere that is becoming a thing of the past in many places.  overall, i give stamey's a solid 3.5, but better options exist.  i prefer this location to the battleground ave one - it has a nicer feel, with tall ceilings and many windows.

awful. this place is for tourists who don't know what good, lexington style barbecue is. if you're in town and wantgoodbbq check out country bbq. otherwise, head to lexington.

i can’t say enoughgoodthings about stamey’s and i hope to make it back very soon. it is the definition of a 5 whole hog plate of chopped pork barbecue and to me, also the definition of a 5 whole hog joint.

been eating stameys for over 40 years and still liking it.located across tfom the greensboro colisiem.coming inside you will see pics of pres. bush when he ate there.loyal wait staff and great service in family setting .counter seats ,booths or tables ,take you pic.hickory slow cooked bbq with vinager based sauce is hard to beat.hot dogs all the way with bbq slaw isgoodwith a chopped sandwich and an order of hushpuppies .the fries are not my favorite .the dessert looks great but i never have room for dessert. ask for extra "dip" with your bbq plate or buy the mild suace(dip) to go with your take out order.they offer meals for 4 or 6 people (to go)and when availabe the frozen bbq is a better deal .get a frozen pound &1/2 to take on out of town trips (about $10) .granny likes the bagged pork skins .these are hard skins and not the puffy type ...got to go to stameys now.

prettygoodbbq. staleys has been a greensboro staple for as long as i can remember!

great deal. alot of food for a great price - the combo platter i purchased to go (along with a bottle of the hot bbq sauce) was verygoodand the service was friendly and fast.

previous comment should say: food was not exceptionally good

very very fast, i got my drink and food within 5 min of entering the place. as for the food, it was exceptionally good, chicken was dry, but one could get away with it since it was drenched in sauce. pork wasn't bad, wasn't great. i supposed for the money (i spent $7 for a large plate of food) it's agoodbuy. personally i'd rather spend more and het better food, but i can see the appeal of fast service for a cheap price.

yes!. i eat at stamey's every week, i have never once had a bad experience.

i highly recommend it!

great food, great people, great service.goodprice.

classic lexington style bbq. for those not from nc, when we say bbq we mean chopped/pulled/sliced pork from typically a smoked pig. most places slow roast their swine in smokehouses with hickory and variety of other woods. one test to see if you have agoodbbq joint is to look around back for a pile of wood and/or a smokehouse.

stamey's is where i grew up going for bbq. in nc there are two types of bbq, western (or lexington style) and eastern. western uses a tomato based sauce while the east prefers a more "pure" vinegar. debate is fierce at times over what's best. i personally like both, it just depends on how its cooked.

stamey's produces a wonderful lexington style pork for a great price. out of towners will be shocked at the affordability. when you come for the first time go for the whole experience. get a chopped plate with coleslaw and hushpuppies and be sure to have some cobbler with ice cream for dessert. you can wash it all down with one of the south's finest examples of sweet tea. enjoy!
