Good, authentic bbq with excellent service and refreshing sweet tea! Our group from the office all ordered a chopped pork plate, slaw and hush puppies! It was excellent and comparable to other bbq restaurants in Eastern NC….did I mention the hush puppies?

Worst BBQ I have ever had.. The pork tasted like it sat in fat for two days ..my husband had to choke down the dried chicken.. Don’t go out of your way ..
Great BBQ, But Still Second In Town. T is ineviable, that when you have two outstanding barbecue restaurants in the same, relatively small town, which is better will be the subject of convesation and of reviews. My personal tastes gives Bridges Barbecue Lodge the edge, but make no mistake about it, this place serves excellent Lexington style barbecue, and great BBQ Chicken, as well. So good, in fact, that there are probably less than a double hand full that are better.Like its rival ,this place has been around since the 1940’s, and has a connection with Stamey. He and Alston Price married sisters. and Bridges learned his craft from Stamey, and the result is some pretty darn good barbecue, eventhough they apparently no longer cook over wood.We tried the 1/2 Barbecue Chicken ($8.30) with slaw and hushpuppies. The chicken is excellent, smokey and with great flavor. You have a choice of sauces – sweet or their regular – go with the regular, for sure. This is a nice sauce, loaded with flavor, and some heat. This chicken place is $1.70 cheaper than the other Bridges, but the chicken is noticeable smaller, and their is no additional side.The barbecue slaw here is good, not great. The hushpuppies here are simply excellent – small tubes, smooth outer crust, moist, full of great flavor. I tried the Hot Dog ($2.10) and it was decent, but nothing special – wouldn’t order again.The chopped Barbecue Sandwich ($3.70) was very good, not as smokey as the pork across town, and the texture is more minced than chopped – I suspect they use an electric chopper. Still, this is excellent Lexington style barbecue.This is a small, rather cramped place regardless of whether you sit at the counter, or in the main seating area. The waitresses are constantly dodging each other and the customers as well – but they handle it well, always friendly and efficient. Good folks, good food, we’ll be back.
I am a native of Clevand County, but have lived in Texas for the last 12 years. Bridges by far has the best bbq I have ever tasted. I am so in love with it I take it back to Tx. I let my co workers try it and some enjoyed it, but some liked the sticy sweet sause in Texas. I am choosing not to speak to them,lol. I have even had request to order gallons and have them sent to Tx, which they did without hesitation, Thanks for being the best.
Best in western NC style BBQ.. Vinegar sauce, red slaw ,all the best. Top notch cue. .
