Red State BBQ

Lexington's multi-award-winning roadside BBQ joint, Red State BBQ has been perfecting its low-and-slow smoking technique since 2010, drawing on Memphis, Texas, and Carolina traditions for ribs, brisket, sausage, and chicken. The ribs and brisket consistently receive the highest reviewer praise, with customers calling the smoke flavor and tenderness the best in central Kentucky. A 10-percent discount for first responders reflects the local character of this well-loved spot.
