Lem's Bar-B-Q has been awarded the James Beard America's Classics Award for 2025, recognizing its enduring legacy and quality food. Lem's celebrates 71 years in business on Wednesday. I am happy I was able to stop by to pick up my slab of ribs and celebrate with Carmen Lemons, the owner. Community and Lem's have enjoy a great relationship for most of those 70 years from one generation to the next.

Now, more than ever, we need to support businesses in our community. Come to the Southside for James Beard Award winning BBQ.
