stamey's barbecue

there isgreatbbq here, but the chopped isn't it.. i usually choose other bbq joints for a variety of reasons. i have eaten at both locations, off & on, for 50 years, and probably will come from time to time, in the future, but their limited menu, horrible bbq slaw, the dry, oblong hush puppies, and the way they mince(grind, really) their pork bbq leaves much to be desired when other choices are available. and their sliced bbq not an option at $10 per pound.

i will still pickup a shoulder from time to time because their bbq is excellent lexington style, it is the processing i don't care for. i also buy both their dipping sauce & hot sauce, and i give them high marks on both. they have started serving bbq chicken, but it has a sweet tomato sauce i don't care for. the ffs are awful, and so is the hot dog.

even for a bbq joint, they serve one of the worst hot dog in the entire state. i have no idea how you can get chili to that consistency. their waitstaff service is always great, though there is some complacency in the checkout folks. the folks in greensboro seem to love this place and have since 1953 when the original stamey's opened as a drive-in with curb service. and other folks across the state give it high marks also. i just think it could be much better, like its lexington counterparts. i would give this place 2 stars because of the service, the sauces, and the shoulders.

best barbecue in nc. you can taste the difference 100% wood cooked pork barbecue makes. they have been doing it the same time honored way since 1930!!!greatservice. they are super fast.

they have some of the most affordable prices i have ever encountered in my travels.

i would drive 200 miles out of my way for a stameys sandwich, hushpuppies and peach cobbler.

if you are in greensboro and looking for a good barbecue 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 agreatlunch 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 agreatlexington 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 a good smokey 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.

best on earth. i have eaten stamey's barbecue since i was a small boy. my dad grew up in greensboro so every time we would get the second rate barbecue they have here in gaston county he would always tell me within a day or so that we were taking a trip to stamey's. there is really nothing negative about this restaurant. the food and service are 1st rate, as are the prices. they have a website, stameys.com, where you can view the menu and pricing so you can see for yourself what agreatvalue it is. we both tried other "lexington" style barbecue places and always came back to stamey's.

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 andgreatservice 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 is good with a chopped sandwich and an order of hushpuppies .the fries are not my favorite .the dessert looksgreatbut 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.

traditional nc bbq. greta traditional nc chopped bbq. very cheap. no bar or alcohol, butgreatplace to go for a quick plate of bbq for lunch.

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

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

i highly recommend it!

great food,greatpeople,greatservice. good price.

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 a good bbq 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 agreatprice. 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!
