Name<\/strong>: Real Q
Date<\/strong>: 11\/28\/25
Address<\/strong>: 4885 Country Club Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27104
Order<\/strong>: Chopped plate with fries, BBQ slaw, and hush puppies; Cheerwine (link to menu<\/a>)
Pricing<\/strong>: $<\/p>\n

Monk<\/strong>: In April 1991, Richard Berrier and two business partners opened the original Little Richard\u2019s BBQ on Country Club Road in Winston-Salem. Twenty-seven years, a couple of business partnership splits, and several restaurant spinoffs later, it changed its name in to \u201cReal Q\u201d in January of 2018 to distinguish itself from the other Little Richard\u2019s in the the area (now Winston-Salem, Clemmons, Yadkinville, Walkertown and Mount Airy). Fortuitously, Berrier is also known as \u201cQ\u201d in the industry, so the name works on a couple of levels.<\/p>\n

The Country Club location of Little Richard\u2019s is the one that Speedy visited 5 years before the name change in 2013<\/a> and enjoyed quite a bit, rating it 4 hogs. On that visit, he loved the BBQ slaw and hush puppies while enjoying the pork itself a little less, noting that he would have liked more smoke. I had never visited that, or any other, Little Richard\u2019s so this past Thanksgiving in the Triad it was time to check it out the restaurant formerly known as Little Richard\u2019s. <\/p>\n

Real Q is a classic Lexington-style joint with Winston-Salem memorabilia lining the walls<\/h3>\n

Being less than 25 or so miles from Lexington, NC, it\u2019s no surprise that Real Q would take on the shape of a classic Lexington-style barbecue joint. Meaning smokestacks in the back, no frills dining, and red slaw and hush puppies on the menu. <\/p>\n

What may be more surprising is the quality and depth of Winston-Salem memorabilia that lines nearly every available wall space. Home to Texas Pete and RJR (formerly the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company founded in 1875), the walls reflect that Winston-Salem heritage in addition to a few, unrelated cigarette and retro cola brands. Behold:<\/p>\n

Decor aside, of course I was there for the barbecue. Lack of smoke, which Speedy observed on his 2013 visit, was not an issue for me. A mixture of the barbecue topped with the table dip and mixed with red slaw made for a perfect bite of barbecue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

On his visit, Speedy found the red slaw to be cold and perfectly tangy, offering a nice contrast to the pork and I would agree. The hush puppies were some of the best I\u2019ve had in recent memory, and the youngest Monkette (who normally isn\u2019t a hush puppy fan), agreed as well. She ended up finishing the rest of the basket.<\/p>\n

At Real Q their motto is \u201cif it ain\u2019t over wood, it ain\u2019t as good\u201d and they have the wood pile out back to prove that they do just that. And its cue I would rank alongside some of the very best in the town of Lexington. Next time, I\u2019ll be checking out Little Richard\u2019s to see if they stack up well to Real Q.<\/p>\n
