BBQ King’s 55-Year Shout-Out Tradition | Charlotte News

For 55 years, BBQ King in Lincolnton has turned a simple barbecue joint into a beloved community institution—where loud, proud order calls aren’t just quirky, they’re sacred. Founded by the Abernethy family and now led by Stephanie Abernethy Smith and her husband Jordan, the spot still runs on old-school grit, camaraderie, and that iconic “holler” philosophy. Former staff like Lisa Parker and Lisa Lail remember the chaos, the laughs, and the deep bonds forged shouting orders—and now, for their anniversary, they’re bringing them back to honor the past while celebrating the present. It’s more than ribs and sauce—it’s legacy, loyalty, and love served hot. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
