1. Todd's Barbecue Restaurant
Reviewed By June C
There is nothing bad on their menu ... it's not a fancy place but the steak and bbq is worth a million bucks. Friendly staff come as you are hometown goodness. Once a month we indulge in a big steak dinner. Price is fair portions never disappoint ... one tip they do marinade the steak and it to us is a bit salty, we like the taste of the beef so we ask for no marinade.

We stopped here for lunch on our recent visit to Lexington... after reading all the rave reviews on TA. The atmosphere is great and what you expect from a BBQ joint. Great background music, great 'joint' decor... and lots of hungry people. The service very friendly and very efficient... as Krystina saw to that.Add in the smoky aroma of the place... and this should be a lights out place... except if you're a BBQ snob like me. I'm 73 and I've been eating BBQ most of those years... all over the South... and beyond. I've gotten to know quite a few award winners. This should/would be a five pip rating across the board, but my wife and I made the mistake of having the pulled pork. On the BBQ scale... it's the least unique of the genre. And that's unfortunate, because it's either great or it's just OK. Brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage BBQ expand the scale.So... the pulled pork. I had the Cubano... thinking that it would be a smoky version of the traditional sandwich that's made with ham and roast pork. The ham on this Cubano was too heavily smoked and sliced too thick... and smoked pork was simply sliced before it became pulled pork. The creole mustard was flavorful, but lost in smoke. But... if you're a big eater and are totally into 'smoke', you'd like it. I'm more into the seasonings of roast pork that's eventually pulled. And this was lacking. My wife had a pulled pork Quesadilla, which was a huge portion, but the same quandry with the 'smoke'. Plus... the sauces available were all sweet with no vinegar/pepper sauce to be seen.I've been eating collards as long as I've been eating BBQ. And the collards that I make are pure heaven. The greens that I got here were 5 pips... lots of vinegar and lots of pepper... with some smoky pulled pork added to the cooking process.We'd certainly go back here, because it's a great atmosphere... with great portions... but I'd pass on the pulled pork... and got for the one of the other BBQ offerings.

Found on Yelp by my hubby, this did not disappoint! Our family of 4 was caravaning through with 9 other family members who ate with us, while several others opted to hike Natural Bridge. Oh. My. Word! I love bbq and weâve traveled coast to coast and even in Texas I canât say Iâve had better bbq than this. The sweet sauce provided (along with 3 others) was so good.l and the meat was tender and moist, not over cooked at all. The homemade macaroni salad strongly reminded me of my nannaâs, and I havenât had hers since I was a kid! Their coleslaw was alright, not my preference- very crunchy and tangy. The banana pudding was sooo good!Itâs a small place but SO worth the wait. Everyone loved their food- 7 kids included!! I donât think there were public restrooms available but if there were they werenât easy to see. Hubby thought they were a tad pricey (about $32) for bbq since we only paid for 2 adult meals and 1 kids meal and 1 side of Mac n cheese for the 2yo.We will absolutely be stopping by next time weâre through this way!! #yumazing
