Cook's Barbecue - Lexington

This restaurant is still a favorite among locals, and is hidden away in the woods. Without GPS, it may be difficult for non-locals to find. The building looks like a house that has been expanded over time. The interior is cozy and the staff is friendly. The menu is extensive for a small place, with tasty options like half-inch puppy balls and delicious sweet and BBQ flavors. The only downside was the turkey, which was deli sliced instead of smoked breast. Stick to the other meat options, like the smoked sausage. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

This restaurant is a hidden gem that is definitely worth seeking out. Thanks to a friend who knew about this quaint BBQ spot off the beaten path, we were able to experience true southern hospitality at its best. The food, service, price, and ambiance were all top-notch. The hush puppies were especially delicious and addicting!

During a recent visit to town, my husband and I decided to check out this restaurant based on a recommendation from our Airbnb host. The service from the waitresses was excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the salad bar. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. My husband was pleased with his BBQ dish, and my ribeye was cooked perfectly. Everything was served piping hot. We will definitely be returning to this spot in the future.

I always enjoy visiting Cook's restaurant. My family lives nearby in Linwood, so we like to drive down and meet them for dinner here. I especially love the BBQ at Cook's, but my favorite is the beef brisket. The first time I dined here was during a business trip to Lexington. I ordered a coarse chopped BBQ plate for lunch, and as I was finishing, a lady came out and offered me a sample of their beef brisket. I was instantly hooked. It's always a tough choice between the beef and pork, sometimes I indulge in both. Though it may be a bit out of the way, tucked away down a dead end road in the woods, I believe it's well worth the journey.

This is a long time standing restaurant that continues to provide really good barbecue and hushpuppies. They have really good steaks also along with a nice salad bar. I highly recommend this place for good food and service
