A well-loved Forsyth County pit that slow-smokes pork overnight and lets guests choose either homemade Lexington or Eastern sauce, making it a useful side-by-side stop for the two Carolina styles. Its Lexington-marinated ribs are a signature.

Prissy Polly's BBQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I order at Prissy Polly's BBQ?
Regulars point to Chopped Pork (Lexington Sauce), Barbecue Slaw, Marinated Ribs, and Hush Puppies.
Is Prissy Polly's BBQ expensive?
Prissy Polly's BBQ is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Prissy Polly's BBQ serve?
Prissy Polly's BBQ 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.'
