A Triad favorite since 1991, Little Richard's hickory-smokes fresh pork shoulders about sixteen hours 'the old-fashioned way' using handed-down Lexington-style recipes. The Stratford Road location is a busy, family-friendly anchor of its small regional group.

Little Richard's Barbecue is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Little Richard's Barbecue serve?
Little Richard's Barbecue serves Lexington-Style barbecue — Lexington (or 'Piedmont') barbecue is built on pork shoulder rather than whole hog, cooked low and slow over hardwood coals until it can be chopped or sliced. It is dressed with a thin, tangy tomato-and-vinegar sauce known locally as 'dip,' and the same dip flavors the region's signature 'red slaw' (also called barbecue slaw), which uses no mayonnaise. The style traces to tent cooks like Sid Weaver and Jess Swicegood on the Lexington courthouse square in the early 1900s and was codified by pitmaster Warner Stamey. Davidson County calls itself the 'Barbecue Capital of the World.'
