Little Richard's Bar-B-Que

Little Richard's Bar-B-Que in Clemmons, North Carolina, stands as a beloved institution of Southern barbecue traditions since 1991. Founded by Nick Karagiorgis and Gary Sizemore, this family-owned gem has grown from a single location to five thriving restaurants across northwest North Carolina, now operated by the second generation of the Karagiorgis family. What sets Little Richard's apart is their unwavering commitment to the craft of slow-smoked meats—pork shoulders smoke for a remarkable 16 hours over hickory wood, creating that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture that BBQ enthusiasts crave. Their signature Lexington-style vinegar-based dip has become legendary among locals and visitors alike, representing the purest form of North Carolina barbecue heritage. The menu extends beyond their famous pork to include perfectly smoked ribs, tender brisket, juicy chicken, and premium sausages. Beyond the food, Little Richard's offers comprehensive catering services for events of all sizes, a loyalty program with exclusive rewards, and their famous Sauce Box featuring handcrafted Lexington, Carolina Gold, and Hickory sauces—perfect gifts for the BBQ lover in your life. The Clemmons location on Stadium Drive welcomes guests Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM, serving the community with the same warm hospitality and quality that has defined this establishment for over three decades.
