there is great bbq 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 waitstaffserviceis 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.
