For over 40 years, Smokey Joe’s Barbecue has been feeding the people of Lexington incredible breakfasts, affordable lunches and dinners and, oh yes – barbecue! It is just the way Joe Cope, the founder of Smokey Joe’s, wanted it to turn out – an affordable, comfortable, friendly way to feed great food to wonderful people!

Smokey Joe’s serves more than just BBQ in their warm, informal family-friendly restaurant on South Main Street in Lexington, North Carolina. After a brief hiatus, and due to popular demand, we are back to serving breakfast, along with our expanded lunch and dinner menu, including delicious appetizers – and Smokey Joe’s is the only BBQ restaurant in Lexington where you can have a cold beer or Bull City Hard Cider with your meal! We still have a special menu for kids and seniors. We invite you to check out the menus and come taste for yourself!
