| - Saying a restaurant has the best BBQ in Charlotte is kind of like saying "Moe was the smartest stooge" But this place has the best in Charlotte, hands down. The parking lot is awkward and the interior layout is weird, and I hate anyplace that makes you stand at a counter and order... but all that aside, I came for the food and I was not disappointed. My wife got a rack of ribs. These are not some anemic baby back, small, petite, minor pig ribs. These are full size, huge, jumbo spare ribs, with so much meat and fat and flavor that a family of four could eat off of them for a week. We brought most of them home for supper. The ribs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was a compliment, not a distraction. I got the brisket, because I didn't want to ride the pulled pork train again, as much as I love the stuff, I wanted something different. Good brisket is not easy to do but they hit a home run on this one too. Tender, moist, flavorful, with that smoky "bark" that I love. The fries were outstanding , the first order was limp, but they quickly took them away and fixed them and they were amazing when we got them back. My wife loved the deep fried corn, and we split on the slaw, I had the red, she had the white, both were deemed adequate. Saucemans is good people, making good food, you can bet your brisket I'll be back.
