We always eat at the BBQ Center, best pork anywhere. The family has eaten there for years. Some of my family live in Lexington and wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!
There are many good BBQ joints in and around Lexington. It's hard to go wrong with any of them, but BBQ Center has become my favorite. The pork has always been great, and the service has been excellent every time. This place needs to be at or near the top of your list if you're trying to find the best BBQ in Lexington.
I had to Chop BBQ plate with beans and fried okra and of course hush puppies was absolutely excellent. The service was great the food was even better. I didn't order one but if you ever order the banana split I hope there's at least four or five people at your table to eat it
I have eaten a lot of BBQ at many different restaurants and this was one of the best! Highly recommend!
I went in for breakfast! My breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive! I have to go back for lunch or dinner!
Excellent food and the staff was great! The barbecue was fantastic and I really, really liked the hushpuppies. If you love banana pudding, make sure you get some (really full of wafers and custard). It was just like my mom used to make! We saw a couple sharing a banana split which was HUGE! The wait staff was super nice and every server that walked by our booth checked on us to see if we needed anything. I rarely leave reviews, but it was a treat to check out the Barbecue Center after so many years (at least 15 years). We will definitely be back for dinner (and I am saving room for that banana split)...
The best restaurant in Lexington. The menu has everything you'd expect from a BBQ restaurant and their food is always consistent!
It's a very wonderful place to eat the morning cook is the best person to me he makes your food very tasty he even makes Mickey Mouse pancakes for the kids
awesome bbq place and servers are attentive... great food.
Great place to eat. Great desserts. Great waitstaff. Will definitely go back again.
I had a barbecue tray...it was delicious but I couldn't eat it all. They really do give you a good size helping. Also, we had the huge banana split. It was really good.
What a great barbecue place! Lexington is well-known for its barbecues, and Bar-B-Q Center is a perfect example of this. Since you enter, you can feel the smell of pit cooked pork and chicken. The hush puppies are phenomenal, the chicken breast with the barbecue sauce is out of this world, the pulled pork tender and tasty, and the service was A+. We didn't try the banana split, but I know it is famous.
Great BBQ joint! The foot traffic alone tells you they’ve got something special going on here. We when had lunch, there was an eclectic mix of locals and out of towners.
I've been to this place a few times and they have made some significant improvements. The barbecue was much smoke here in Tinder. The Banana Split Mountain was absolutely Bonkers. It was one of those things that a restaurant has to have to really be known for. The service was also phenomenal. We came in at an hour before closing with a party of almost 20 people and they were fantastic.
Very nice staff. Options for eating outside. Quick service. Amazing red slaw. Pork bbq was not very lean. Definitely whole hog cue. Could've used just a touch of smoke flavor.
This is my favorite among the many barbecue restaurants in Lexington. I thoroughly enjoy the food they offer, I appreciate the good service, and I feel I get a good value for the price. I also enjoy watching folks try to take on those gargantuan banana splits!
This was the final stop on our North Carolina BBQ crawl while driving across the state and it didn't disappoint. Their serving sizes are large so depending on the amount of leftovers you want, share a plate. The bbq chicken is amazing, especially the dark meat. Of course their chopped pork is awesome, it really is some of the best we tried. Also they have a red coleslaw there, which is something I've never heard of but it's pretty great. Instead of mayo they use like a ketchup, vinegar and horseradish-type of sauce. Try it! Reasonable prices, friendly service and great food.
You want to eat here! Fantastic atmosphere, great food and the people are so friendly and helpful! We had a front row spot to watch the banana splits being made and it was a great time!
