“Lexington’s oldest pit-smoked barbecue establishment began in 1955 as, ironically, a place for ice cream, not ’cue. And although its mega-scoop sundae remains a staple on the menu, this drive-through and dine-in spot has established its place as a barbecue fixture in town — keep your eyes peeled for plumes of smoke and the packed parking lot off Main Street. It’s one of the few places that offers curbside service, or you can slide into one of the fire-engine-red booths in the dining room. While smoked pulled pork with all the fixings (the fried okra is not to be missed) is a standard order, do take a chance on the barbecued chicken — your choice of white or dark meat — which is smoked until butter-soft and glazed in the peppery Lexington sauce.”
