Beam Up Bbq

Honestly, if you come to Lexington Virginia, and don't explore a couple of side roads to hit up this bad@$$ BBQ joint then you probably don't deserve to taste this kind of heaven. This is one of those small businesses that provides big service and even bigger quality! Including everything from fresh made from scratch daily deserts, to deviled eggs, potato salad, brisket, pulled pork and more! Just take a peek at the menu sometime. Wash it all down with a cold glass of sweet ice tea, or cold Dr. Pepper. Beameup is a small eat in type café/diner with excellent and friendly service. Their restaurant is clean and decorated quite perfectly for a BBQ place. With big open windows over looking the woods creek and local Lime Kiln Road, Beameup is just a hop skip and jump on the outskirts of town, but well worth the one extra minute it takes you to drive there. Scott and Robin Hayslett- owners, support local artists, and this local artist will forever support the best BBQ and Brisket I have ever had! If they have the pulled pork Chili on special- you better give it a try- holy WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well barbecued pork on the platter with a solid cornbread. Honestly, the green beans were not as well flavored as I like but they were fine. Plus it was winter so you can't expect Summer fresh flavor. The spicy sauce was milder than I expected and I would have welcomed a good bit more heat. The portions were ample and the level of informality was nice. This is a local favorite and it's off the beaten path.

We were in town for a lacrosse game at W&L and needing to feed 45+ players. Scott could not have more accommodating and was prompt with the delivery to the field. Combo of pulled pork, pulled chicken, mac and cheese with cornbread. Food was outstanding and the players got back on the bus quite full for a 5 hour ride back to Washington College. Great job and thank you.
