    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.

    I'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!

    3 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

    Excellent 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.

    Everything was great. I got the "A Little Bit" platter and there was enough to feed 2. I was stuffed.

    The pulled pork was great, better than the brisket. And the Mac was the best, side cars were delish too

    If 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.

    Can'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!

    Hush puppies aren't on the menu but are available by request. They're a little different from other hush puppies & are served with butter.

    Go early to avoid a wait. Pass on the mac and cheese and get the potato salad instead!

    If they have an Allagash seasonal on tap, do yourself a favor and have a round. Food is great, especially the brisket.

    Locals swear by Mac's Big Pig (pulled pork BBQ sandwich), Texas beef brisket and Southern sides such as fried pickles and cheddar grits.
