“ I was really impressed with TarHeel Q BBQ. The service, food, and prices were excellent. I really liked the Peach Cobbler and their BBQ (platter). I look forward to returning soon. ”
“ 5 stars across the board. The food and service were excellent. ”
“ Meeting up with some old friends, we opted to head here for dinner and it was a brilliant choice. Lexington is a city very well known for barbecue, The Pig City. Tarheel Q is about 7 miles west of downtown so it's mostly locals dining here. Self-seating but warmly greeted and offered drinks, they are a Pepsi place and they also have sweet/Northern tea. Breakfast and lunch/dinner menus on the table and specials posted on the wall. I got the barbecue half-and-half plate which came with two sides. Chopped pork and a quarter barbecue chicken (I chose dark meat) with fries and potato salad plus hush puppies. It didn't take long to be plated up and brought out. Served hot, the pork was delicious. Moist, flavorful and not needing any sauce to bring out the flavor. Chicken was nicely done and came apart easily. Crinkle cut fries were crisp and hot. Potato salad was creamy. Huge portions, I could eat barely half of my plate. And then our waitress asked if we had saved room for dessert. Ha! Great service, great food, five stars! ”
“ Great food! Best hospitality! Had chicken, pork, brisket, hush puppies, and beans. Everything was fantastic. Wish we lived closer to eat here everyday ”
“ I drove there from highpoint today to give it a try it was a great experience and great food friendly staff will definitely make the drive again ”
“ This is a good BBQ place with plenty of other options. The Chicken Casserole was very tasty as-was the fried corn nuggets. I tried the Loaded Q-Dog which is a red (think Bright Leaf) hot dog in a nice sized sub roll with an overwhelming amount of Lexington style BBQ pulled pork and red slaw. It is served with a cup of Lexington style BBQ dip which is a tomato and vinegar sauce that flows freely and has a bi of heat and spices. Fried squash was a little soggy and under-cooked on the inside in my opinion. I'd suggest a faster hotter fryer for more crispy outside and less oil absorbed. Overall a nice place with really nice attentive staff. Location is about 10 miles from Downtown Lexington. I'd love to come back and check out more of the daily specials that include BBQ chicken, meatloaf, and steak. ”
“ Stopped in today after a visit to Clemmons and got some brown chopped and it was spot on, some of the best I've had in a long time. I asked for extra brown and that is what I got. There cook is well versed in the art of the pit. ”
“ Simple review here. Great food. Good service and good price. Delicious bbq and will be back for sure. ”
