6835 US-64, Lexington, NC

Just 8 short miles from Downtown Lexington up Highway 64 you’ll find a roadside BBQ Joint quietly putting out what we consider to be the best Lexington Style Barbecue. Tarheel Q’s chopped pork barbecue was tender and had just the right amount of smoky flavor that was perfectly highlighted by the tangy tomato-based dip. The Red Slaw complements its tray mate, instead of overpowering it, and the hush puppies were done right, additive dunked in the dip. Once you’re full of Q, finish it off with their light and whippy Banana Pudding; trust us, there’s room.
