Dining
Ask anyone in Lexington County and they will tell you that the true taste of
the Carolinas is barbecue! Mustard is the base for traditional South
Carolina barbecue sauce, which gives the slow-roasted pork a tangy,
flavorful quality not found elsewhere. Many area restaurants also serve
North Carolina barbecue, which uses a vinegar and hot pepper sauce instead
of mustard; Memphis barbecue, characterized by its vinegar-based sauce; and
Chicago-style barbecue, famous for its spicy catsup sauce. Slow roasting the
pork for 12 hours or more adds hickory flavor to South Carolina barbecue and
makes it so tender that the meat practically falls right off the bones.
Below is a listing of the barbecue restaurants in Lexington County. All of
the restaurants are unique, each with its own character and style of
presenting South Carolina's most beloved dish.
Lexington County also offers a variety of restaurants and dining
establishments that specialize in many other types of cuisines. Restaurants
serving everything from American dishes to international specialties dot the
Lexington County landscape and present many choices for area diners. Some
cuisines featured include American, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Mexican,
Vietnamese, and even "nouveau Southern" foods. Several of these
restaurants have received The State's "Reader's Choice" awards, so
be sure to try them all on your visit! Nearby Columbia is home to several
four- and five-star restaurants that have garnered national acclaim.
