Hudson's Smokehouse BBQ

Hudson's Smokehouse BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Lexington that specializes in smoked meats such as St. Louis cut pork ribs, beef brisket, and fried catfish paired with three house-made sauces. The kitchen uses hickory smoke and traditional techniques to prepare its menu items for diners in a casual setting.

The restaurant started in 1995 when Robin and Barbara began preparing collard greens and smoking meat over hickory in their backyard for family gatherings. This home-based tradition eventually grew into an established business operation.

The place sets itself apart from the German mustard style typical of central South Carolina by using vinegar and pepper flavors rooted in the Pee Dee region. This regional approach shapes how the kitchen seasons its meats and reflects the culinary identity of the surrounding community.

The restaurant provides dine-in seating, takeout options, and operates a catering facility for events throughout South Carolina. Visitors should expect wait times during busy periods, particularly on weekends.

The South Carolina Barbecue Association recognized the restaurant as '100-Mile BBQ,' a designation honoring establishments worthy of traveling far to visit. This award distinguishes it among other spots in the region.
