"Serving hickory-smoked, Lexington-style barbecue since 1962, Mr. Barbecue rose from the ashes to reopen after a 2019 fire destroyed the original building. It was rebuilt in 2023 after a car crashed through its dining room. The restaurant’s footprint remains the same but with the addition of a sleek drive-thru. The signature fried chicken and chopped barbecue dominate the menu, but get there early to order the crispy pork skins, because they sell out fast. French fries, hushpuppies, and two kinds of coleslaw are standards, but the Greek-style green beans deserve a spotlight." - Nikki Miller-Ka
