“What holds us separate from everybody else is we still pit cook our meat. We have somebody come in and use wood, fire it all night long. And basically, that’s where you get your flavor,” says Natalie Ramsey, owner of Red Bridges.

Back in 1946, Red and Lyttle Bridges opened what would eventually become Red Bridges BBQ Lodge on North Carolina Highway 18, slow cooking pork over hickory wood all night long.

After a couple of location changes and more than a couple of decades in business, grandchildren Natalie Ramsey and Chase Webb are keeping the tradition alive 78 years later, packing the Shelby restaurant with regulars.

“My grandfather was a cook in the war, and when he came back, he told my grandmother, ‘Common, we’re opening a barbecue restaurant,’” Ramsey told CharlotteFive.

The original recipes for chopped barbecue, slaw, baked beans and hush puppies are still hitting the tables, served by staff members who have been around for years, too.

Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge was a finalist in this year’s CharlotteFive Readers’ Choice poll for best bbq.
