Dana DJanuary 6, 2015Solid BBQ with amazing brisket (get a mix of wet and dry) and fall-off-the-bone ribs. Solid set of brews on tap to wash it all down with.
NealMay 8, 2015Got the combo platter. I'd rate 1. Fatty brisket 2. Smoked sausage 3/4 pork or chicken depending on my mood. Try the bacon wrapped jalapeños.
Get the Well-Fed platter with collard greens and share with a friend! I can't even get anything else when I come here. Bacon wrapped jalepenos are awesome when the jalepenos are spicy.
The fatty brisket here is outstanding. I've eaten some world class brisket out in Texas, and Midwood Smokehouse brisket is in the ballpark. Great mac and cheese and whiskey-based cocktails here too.- Absolutely the best bbq brisket or my favorite burnt ends in town. Pretty much everything is phenomenalUpvoted 1 day ago
Donald HallAugust 18, 2019EVERYTHING!! I always go for the combo platter...brisket, ribs, pulled chicken, and jalapeño sausage...oh and burnt ends...with side of baked beans and hushpuppies...Pig Out!! 😋
Kari HessJuly 9, 2018More than one location in the Charlotte area (Birkdale Village, Ballantyne & Park Road)-you can't go wrong with their menu choices; I usually stick to the Classic Carolina BBQ Plate with Coleslaw
Ericu DesuOctober 19, 2018Everything is good here. I always get the brisket, but their ribs and pork barbecue is also delicious.
Danielle C.December 25, 2019The salmon was awesome! I know, I know, it’s a BBQ joint known for brisket, but if that’s not your jam the salmon is definitely a contender.
Matt GentryJune 6, 2015Cuban sandwich and hush puppies were awesome. Couldn't finish it. Fried pickles were great too.
Rebecca GalanteJuly 21, 2019The sampler platter was amazing. Great brisket and ribs! Hush puppies and bacon wrapped jalapeños. Would definitely go back. A lot.- Every time I've been here their dinner special has been amazing. And Hub loves the brisket - best we've had since moving out of TX.
Fried pickles, pork bbq, hushpuppies and bacon wrapped jalapeños are standouts, but the NC Barbecue sauce pales in comparison to its SC counterpart.
Brisket Mac n Cheese n Smoked veggies. Normally get the large plate.
Otto JefimenkoMay 4, 2018Bbq, burnt ends and bacon wrapped jalapeños are to die for. Nice Bier selection also.
Rachel AlexanderOctober 30, 2015Pulled pork is so yummy you don't need any sauce. Cheesy Mac and cheese and thick, meaty baked beans!
NocatchoSeptember 14, 2012Just follow the rants and give the bacon wrapped jalapeños a try, if you like a little kick. Brisket is pretty good. Praline apple cobbler is SINFUL!
KRISTI TAugust 25, 2012Ask for CJ as your waiter, he's fantastic! :) great food, will definitely be back. The burnt ends and Mac and cheese were amazing!
Abby MillerDecember 30, 2012Get smoked sausage with mac n cheese. Comes with hush puppies which are to DIE for. The brisket rocks too.
Bridget YoakJanuary 1, 2016Don't come too late some of the best things sell out after like 8 or 9 pm. Best BBQ in Charlotte!!
Great service and fantastic chopped salad & pimento cheese fries for the vegetarians out there :-)
They have "chewy ice" here! Oh yeah - excellent BBQ too. Just standing outside enjoying the savory smells is enough to make your mouth water. Read more
Matthew BollingAugust 4, 2012Skip the BBQ sauce, the pork is great by itself. Great smoke flavor - you can smell it when you walk in. Not the greatest NC-Style sauce.
Carrie ElizabethDecember 8, 2013Avocado Goddess Dressing is on point. The chopped salad topped with pulled pork is delicious!
- Chopped salad is GREAT for the veggie crew! Smoked tomato vin. dressing is delicious.
- Great Cobb salad for the veggies out there and so much goodness fresh made!
Neal ProsanskyDecember 23, 2011BBQ beans are ridiculous. I'm sold on the Carolina Pork and the bacon wrapped jalapeños are amazing. 1.25 PBRs. Can't beat this place!
Sarah WilbanksOctober 26, 2011You can split a plate that's big enough for three for a total of $20 or go for the classic bbq sandwich for about $7 - either one is a great choice.- Thomas PinckneyMay 7, 2012We come here every Monday for half off NC beer, they also happen to have the best BBQ in Charlotte.
Tonny StoreyJune 18, 2013Excellent food and Yuengling!!! Don't ask for a pitcher of beer tho'...they don't play that in NC
Kristin OrcuttOctober 1, 2011Sloppy joe with brisket! Great twist on an old favorite. Another great Charlotte spot, Frank!
