Lampert’s Plush Pig BBQ has closed, at least temporarily. Over the weekend, owner Larry Lampert sent word of the immediate closure to supporters. “The new owner has made demands for rental increases that we are unwilling to accept,” explained Lampert regarding the shuttering of his restaurant at 2809 S. McKnight Road in Rock Hill. “I will be looking for a new location and hope to be able to supply your needs in the future,” he added.

Lampert’s moved to its location in Rock Hill in early 2010. Prior to the move, the barbecue joint was located on Forsyth Boulevard in downtown Clayton. Lampert’s was also featured this summer in our barbecue issue as one of Ten Spots to Try around town.
