While you’re in South Hill, stop in to Risin’ Smoke BBQ for a Southern-style lunch and their signature lemon meringue pie. They have all your other favorites too–chocolate chess, sweet potato, pecan, key lime–but this one and its mile high meringue make for a beautiful, tasty gift. A gourmet bakeshop in a BBQ joint is not something you see everyday, but that’s Mecklenburg County for you. More interesting, more delicious.

Love is in the air. No, wait, that’s barbecue. Welcome to Risin’ Smoke. Here, the onion rings are perfectly breaded, the brisket is tender with a nice char and the service comes with a smile. We suggest you head over early to grab a space in line. You may also want to grab a fist full of napkins.
