| - If this is what Charlotteans think is the best BBQ in Charlotte, they just don't know great BBQ. SORRY. Number one issue is cost. Their prices were way too high. 4 dollars for a small bowl of Brunswick stew? 4 dollars for six hushpuppies? 14 dollars for a BBQ platter? The sides were not a lot either. I can easily name 6 better BBQ joints that give a lot larger portions and are a lot less expensive. For our family, the BBQ was way too smoky for us and we are BBQ efficianados. We were raised on the BBQ places like King's in Kinston, NC, Wilburs in Goldsboro, NC, The Skylight Inn in Ayden, NC. The saying in most places like that is if you can still taste the smoke in your mouth ten minutes after eating it, it was too smokey. On the plus side is all the BBQ sauces were fantastic and the selection of local beers was the best around. It looks like a great place to watch football on Saturdays(they are the official home of the East Carolina Football club in Charlotte" and Sundays(they have NFL Direct Ticket). The wings were also very good with a nice char on them and the sauces served on the side and not lathered all over the wings themselves. The BBQ is pulled as well and not chopped and as everyone knows, the best BBQ is chopped BBQ! I agree with Yelper Joy R. in that this is a place for BBQ novices. If you have really good NC BBQ, you will definitely be unimpressed. Sorry Queen City Q I had high hopes and I left lat down. P.S.- If you do want to try them, go at lunch when they do have some really great lunch specials that include the drink.
