To the Wait Staff @ Lexington Barbeque

[EvilEmpryss]

This weekend is the (in)famous Lexington Barbeque festival in North Carolina. Thousands of people ramble around, eating lots of fried stuff (barely able to be considered food), and scarffing down tons of barbeque sandwiches. I went out of my way to go this year, thinking that I would get score some delicious barbeque at a festival honoring the tangy goodness that is slow-roasted pork. No luck. The festival food was so nasty, we retreated and went to the actual Lexington Barbeque (a restaurant off Business 85).

The place was packed, with a line going out the door for seating, a line for their inside to-go, and a line at their outside to-go window. It took about 15-20 minutes to get a table, but all the waitresses were smiling and friendly. Service was ultra fast, the food was as amazing as ever (no lack of quality during the rush), and my cup never fell below 75% full (impressive, since it was a styrofoam cup and you couldn't see inside it except up close).

My husband was impressed, too. His evaluation of the service?

"If our waitress was any more attentive she'd be in my lap!"

I probably shouldn't post with nothing more to add than this, but I've eaten there! Drove up once with Mom to see where her grandparents were from. Most of the relatives were in the cemetery, but her aunt fed my brother so many figs from her tree it made him sick and he hasn't wanted to try another since. But more specifically, we ate at that restaurant and enjoyed it immensely. (Also, Mom left her cane there, and got it back because Uncle Somebody saw someone using it and recognized it as one his I think dad had made. The guy claimed it was his, but the address label he hadn't bothered to remove proved otherwise and it was returned.)

None of which is particularly relevant except I'd almost forgotten it until you mentioned Lexington Barbeque.
