I live in Martinsville. Checkered Pig is the name of it now, it was Pig R Us but Toy R Us sued them.
They won another BBQ contest again not long ago.
We have another BBQ place here, Dixie Pig, that is good but you either like one or the other. Its been here probably since the late 50s early 60s. Im partial to it bc thats what I grew up eating. Still has curb service.
Its faster/shorter if you go 220 south, which runs right into 68, take 68 over to 65 towards Winston Salem, 65 runs into 40, 40 to 52 towards Lexington and then 52 runs into 77 which connects with 85. I know thats a lot of road #s but you only actually turn twice. I can be there in roughly 90 mins.
Or still a shorter version with less roads to remember, 220 south to 68, follow 68 past the airport to 40 west, 40 west runs into 77/85. This way is about 25-30 miles longer than the 1st one I gave you.
The way you going runs thru Greensboro business which is longer and more traffic.
