Before you go

  • Closed Monday.
  • Useful when you are already headed toward High Rock Lake rather than looping downtown Lexington again.
  • Ask for coarse chop if you want a coarser cut than the fine chop tray.

About this stop

Backcountry Barbeque sits on Linwood-Southmont Road in Linwood, south of Lexington toward High Rock Lake, cooking hickory-smoked Lexington-style shoulders for chopped and coarse-chopped plates with red slaw.

It is a quieter Davidson County stop than the downtown Lexington rooms, with a local skin sandwich and a broader board that can include brisket beside the classic pork.
