Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge is a cherished local gem in Shelby, NC, renowned for its authentic pit-cooked barbecue. Since 1946, this family-run establishment has been slow-cooking pork over hickory wood, delivering a rich, old-fashioned flavor that keeps customers coming back. The warm, inviting atmosphere and hearty portions make it a perfect spot for families and friends to gather and enjoy delicious pit cooked bbq and homemade sides. Proud members of the Barbecue Hall of Fame and numerous awards. Been keeping the same tradition since it’s 1946. Like founder Mama B said,  if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
