About

People from all over visit Carolina Barbecue to relish in our finger-lickin' Lexington-style juicy pork barbecue, ribs, chicken, turkey, and beef brisket. We hickory-smoke our barbecue for 14-16 hours. Then we use our special dip, resulting in tender, juicy barbecue with a mouth-watering aroma.
