the original little richard's lexington bbq

had ribs , chopped pork, slaw, potato salad and hushpuppies. sides all homemade and service is fast and friendly . good food for a good price. ribs were good. but fall off bone tender so while many prefer this in my book they are overcomes. chopped pork was moist and flavorful. not the best in the country but worth a visit and a good value for the price. scale of 0-10 it is a 6.

you could tell from the smoky taste and tenderness of the meat that it had been cooked with hickory wood for 8-10 hours. the fresh zingy slaw and crunchy hushpuppies complimented the bbq.

if you’re unfamiliar with it, bbq slaw is a vinegar-based slaw that’s more tart than the typical mayo-based slaw. it’s also usually a darker red color.

for my money, the slaw and hush puppies were perfect. the slaw had the perfect amount of tang and was served at the right temperate – refrigerator cold to contrast the hot chopped pork.

holy crap this is great bbq! hunks of perfectly smokes pork. and lots of it!!! huge portions. this yankee loves me some good bar-b-que!!

good portions good food. we got the chopped and coarse chopped bbq plate that came with slaw, fries and hush puppies and let me tell you, they don't skimp on the portions!

the chopped bbq comes with a nice mixture of outside brown (w/o asking). the coarse chopped (nugget sized bites) has a smokier flavor due to the attached crust and collects a flavorful juice broth at the bottom of the plate that is a dipping must!

the fries are nothing special but the slaw is great for those who do not like heavy mayo based cole slaw and the hush puppies come out fresh with a good onion flavor.

another one down the historic bbq trail!

great bbq, period!!!! keep up the great work richard. love the sauce and the hush puppies too. by the way, the tables are a nice touch.

very good bbq. will likely return again

my favorite. i love q of all kinds across the us. i've tried to make it to as many of the nc bbq tour restaurants and others as i can - maybe 10 - 15 so far, centered around greensboro. little richards in w-s is my current favorite.

the smoke taste is there yet still subtle, the q is soft and tender in chunks as i prefer it, and the portions are very generous. the red slaw compliments nicely, the pups are good, but the previously frozen crinkle fries - fair at best.

excellent. there is a lot of good 'cue in this area, so it is difficult to call one better than another. was in the area and went to lexington bbq one day and little richard's the next, and i think little richard's was better, although you can't go wrong with either place.

i felt like you got a larger portion for a little less money at richard's, and both had a different yet distinctive flavor. i liked little richard's sauce a tad better, but preferred lexington's slaw a little more.

as far as the hush puppies, both were great. so for me it would be more of a geographical area as to which place i would return to when in the area. little richard's was much closer which gives it an advantage.

little richard's has a lexington feel but right in winston-salem. great, great stuff, and they are exceptionally quick to serve for those times when you are in a hurry. slow cooked fast food i guess.

little richards is a true winston-salem classic. great "q", great prices and portions. the interior has a great feel with tobacco and soda kitsch on the walls. for the true experience, get a chopped tray, hush puppies and sweet tea.

lots of good eats here. i like the lexington style bbq this little place produces, and though the sauce is a little more vinegary than most in the piedmont, it does contain ketchup and that's lexington. the meat is not chopped too finely, and has some brown bits in it, and is a little moist coming out of the kitchen - i never feel the need to add any more sauce to it.

the bbq chicken served friday & saturday is very, very good. the slaw is a white slaw, and goes well with the pork. the fries are only so-so, the hush puppies very good, and the brunswick stew is ok. they make a very good hamburger, it used to be even better before they changed the bun, too much bread now. and finally they make a very good hot dog.

the place is small, crowded at peak, with some outside seating. no credit cards, so cash is needed. this place has no current connection with the little richard's in clemmons, though they do have another place in wallburg

superb bbq. this place is likely the best place for bar-b-que i have been to so far. the lexington sauce is excellent the chopped pork is so tasty and perfectly done. wednesday night is rib night and they are simply amazing (my favorite item on the menu). there are a number of good sides to choose from as well. it is simple & striped down but it is excellent. i only hope i go back to winston-salem someday to eat at little richard's once again.

lexington-style barbecue. this is the place for good, inexpensive lexington-style barbecue (ie. no tomato sauce in the chopped barbecue). good kids menu and drive through service, if needed.
