| - Good, functional BBQ which slides to very good if you stick to what they do best.
First, I've only ever had takeout from this spot, as well as the original location in Stallings. Some BBQ joints just work better as take-out (not unlike some Asian places) and this is one of them. Also, buy in bulk and get everything else you need from the Teeter next door--buns,beans, etc.
Next, stick to the basics pork and slaw, although I've also had some really good brisket here. There is not the depth of smoky flavor and bark of the very best BBQ but it is still nicely done and will scratch your cue itch. Also the slaw comes in red and white varieties which is an old Lexington thing you don't see everywhere. Basically the white is a creamy prep while the red is made with some of the vinegar based sauce. The latter results in a kinda a cross between a condiment and a side, and folks who do not like a lot of sauce with their cue seem to like to use it to give a little tang and crunch to the meat.
The rest of the sides, except maybe the Mac n cheese you can probably make better at home. But if you are doing take-out in bulk, that is not a problem.
