The Prime Smokehouse: Barbecue & Beyond
There’s no debate about Eastern-style or Lexington-style BBQ here. This is Texas-style brought to you by owner and chef, Ed Wiley who uses a dry rub and vinegar sauce on his brisket and cooks it low and slow over indirect heat. The result is a plate of BBQ that will make you believe in a higher power. Prime Smokehouse’s mission is to create the best possible dining experience for their guests by serving top-quality, delicious food and beverages, and incredible entertainment that preserves the culture of jazz, in a clean, hospitable, homey environment. Located in the main building of the Rocky Mount Mills with an outdoor seating area and a view overlooking the dam and Battle Park, the Prime Smokehouse has curated an atmosphere that is as unique and robust as their menu, which includes award-winning mac and cheese and an array of sides and desserts that steam from generational recipes.
