After 32 years, Lexington is saying goodbye to the barbecue joint that started it all.
Billy’s Bar-B-Q, located at 101 Cochran Road, began as one of the first barbecue restaurants in the city.
Sarah Allen is a former manager. She worked at Billy’s for 11 years and said that’s where she made some of her closest friends.
“On Sunday night I closed the store and we had a meeting and I kind of had a feeling that that’s where it was going,” Allen said.
