Luella’s Bar-B-Que, Barbecue restaurant in North Asheville, United States.
Luella's Bar-B-Que is a barbecue restaurant in Asheville located on Merrimon Avenue, where slow-smoked meats including pulled pork, brisket, and chicken are prepared using traditional seasoning and cooking methods. The kitchen focuses on patience and craft, smoking each meat cut carefully over many hours.
The restaurant was founded by Grandma Lue, whose core principles about food quality and hospitality have been passed down through the family over generations. Those early values continue to shape how the business operates today.
Southern sides like collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread are served alongside the smoked meats, reflecting how food connects to local identity. These traditional dishes shape how people experience barbecue culture in North Carolina.
The restaurant operates from two locations in Asheville, giving visitors a choice of where to visit. Online ordering for curbside pickup and delivery services are available, along with catering options for events.
The restaurant uses a Reme Air Purification System to manage air quality while smoking meats indoors, a thoughtful addition to a traditional cooking method. This technology allows the smoky flavors to develop while keeping the dining space comfortable for guests.
