Great BBQ spot if you don't mind sitting at a high top - so glad they started selling their sauce at the grocery store. Sample plate is enough to share!
Whenever we have guests in town we always take them here. The BBQ is, if not the best in town, pretty close. However what really makes mac's standout is the fantastic atmosphere.Upvoted Feb 25
E.J. MJune 1, 2012Excellent veggie burger. The patty contains whole black beans and black eyed peas and some diced onions and green peppers held together by some type of egg and flour batter that is then fried. Tasty.
Topher SterlingSeptember 20, 2012I'm far from a wing fan, but their grilled wings are some of the best I've ever had! Enjoyed the open-faced brisket sandwich over Texas toast with Brunswick stew on the side. Must come again!
Keith MyersJune 11, 2015Everything was great. I got the "A Little Bit" platter and there was enough to feed 2. I was stuffed.
Aaron HoneycuttJune 11, 2015The brisket is amazing and so tinder. They give you so much food for your money!
Love the food here, get the combo platter you get so much food you will have to take it home. And of course is a good price
Kari HessJuly 11, 20183 other locations in the Charlotte area (19601 Liverpool Pkwy, 142 E John Street, & 2414 Sandy Porter Road); great outdoor space at South End with a live music venue adjacent- Kari HessMarch 28, 2019Mac's makes different styles of bbq and it is all delicious! Order a combo platter to try it all.
- BillDecember 30, 2016The pulled pork was great, better than the brisket. And the Mac was the best, side cars were delish too
- Todd WoernerJuly 26, 2016Shrimp taco and pulled pork taco are excellent as well as the mac n cheese! Great selection of beer!
Pulled pork BBQ is great. The catfish platter is great. You have to order the Mac and Cheese.
Viktha B.🎀July 29, 2012Pulled pork with Mac and cheese was delicious! Also with a side of sweet tea, a southern staple meal if you ask me! Yum yum :D- IanJanuary 30, 2023Pulled pork was delicious. Mac and cheese very very very good as well as the fried okra. Great spot
Murali KrishnanJuly 1, 2011If you are new - definitely get the small or large sampler. The pulled pork and brisket is a must!! The sides are great but the meats steal the show.
Bram BessoffJuly 9, 2014Try the beef rib! Best rub south of Dinosaur BBQ, ultimate beer selection and hottest waitresses
Love this place! Great BBQ, tons of southern veggies, and large outdoor seating area.- I love the smoked wings with burnout sauce. Definitely has a kick.
ChristopherJanuary 7, 2015Awesome barbecue joint...had the smoked brisket and phenomenal wouldn't even come close.
RachelAugust 7, 2012Hush puppies aren't on the menu but are available by request. They're a little different from other hush puppies & are served with butter.
ToryBurchApril 15, 2011Locals swear by Mac's Big Pig (pulled pork BBQ sandwich), Texas beef brisket and Southern sides such as fried pickles and cheddar grits.
Super crowded when it rains or is cold outside. Come early or late. Always always always order the mystery bottles or drafts.
Anna NyesteJune 13, 2012Best fried pickles in Charlotte! Bring your dog and enjoy the best BBQ in Charlotte as well.
If they have an Allagash seasonal on tap, do yourself a favor and have a round. Food is great, especially the brisket.
Joseph GoadJune 28, 2013Excellent Beer, Fantastic food, awesome staff! A definate must if IN CHARLOTTE
NicolasAugust 7, 2010Can't go wrong with the potato salad mac n cheese as a side. Chili nachos are good as well, and don't forget to try 1 of their seasonal beers!
Debe MaxwellNovember 14, 2013Best BBQ sandwich in town! Mac's Speed Shop rocks delicious food at a great price!
Denise PicklesAugust 30, 2014Great chicken nachos and tons of TVs to watch football. #gohereforsportsatmosphere
Sean BurkeDecember 21, 2014Go early to avoid a wait. Pass on the mac and cheese and get the potato salad instead!
JoeMay 19, 2013This is not Brunswick stew. It's vegetable beef stew. Pretty good just like calling a dick a vagina. Something it is not. Both good though.
Stephen "Dash" BrownAugust 22, 2015Tried all the meats. Go for rins, pulled pork, and chicken. Everything else was dry.- Love the Smoked Wings with Burnout sauce. Actually is hot.
M. Todd BolinOctober 24, 2012They changed there cheesecake with whisky carmel sauce. I think it's Sara Lee and the sauce is gritty.
only place in charlotte i've found that serves Beef Ribs, and good beef ribs too.
Justin BreedingJanuary 22, 2011The food is amazing! If u want to see something that will blow youir mind order a fat boy and have a lot of friends to help u eat it lmao
