Hudson’s Smokehouse BBQ has been a South Carolina staple since founder Robbie Hudson opened the doors in the early 2000s. What began as a small roadside spot in Lexington quickly grew into a beloved barbecue destination, known for its smoky aromas that drew in hungry locals and travelers alike. In the long run, Hudson’s expanded not just in size but in reputation, gaining a loyal following thanks to its slow-smoked meats, hearty Southern sides, and a warm, family-style atmosphere.
As the menu evolved, favorites like pulled pork, ribs, and brisket became household names, while new items and seasonal specials kept things fresh. What many don’t realize, though, is that Hudson’s has a “secret menu” — tucked-away gems that regulars whisper about, offering creative spins on classic dishes. Still, the restaurant’s original signature pulled pork plate remains the heart of it all, reminding fans why they fell in love with Hudson’s in the first place.
