Speedy Lohr's BBQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I order at Speedy Lohr's BBQ?
Regulars point to Chopped Pork Tray, Red Slaw, Fried Okra, and Banana Pudding.
Is Speedy Lohr's BBQ expensive?
Speedy Lohr's BBQ is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Speedy Lohr's BBQ serve?
Speedy Lohr'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.'
