Started by Warner Stamey, the pitmaster who codified Lexington-style barbecue and mentored Wayne Monk and Red Bridges, Stamey's has cooked pork shoulders over hickory coals since 1930. Its flagship sits across from the Greensboro Coliseum and is a genuine origin point for the style.

What should I order at Stamey's Barbecue?
Regulars point to Chopped Pork Plate, Barbecue Slaw, Hush Puppies, and Peach Cobbler.
Is Stamey's Barbecue expensive?
Stamey's Barbecue is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Stamey's Barbecue serve?
Stamey'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.'
