The BBQ in this little strip mall joint decidedly does NOT rock. I've never been to the original Rock Store but I've heard good things. I had some time to kill between photography jobs in Mint Hill, it was lunch time, and I was in the parking lot, so I decided to grab some good old NC style BBQ pork.
I should have realized that any place with all that traffic outside and a jam packed parking lot at high noon that only had three customers inside may have problems.
I had the pulled pork sandwich and potato wedges. The pork was dry and without sauce or flavor, slapped on a cold bun. I was offered several sauces and chose the spicy, which was OK but too sweet and not very spicy. I was horrified to see that when I ordered fries the lady behind the counter pulled open a warming oven and pulled out a pan filled with a giant pile of precooked wedges being kept warm. There were enough wedges in that pan to feed everybody in the parking lot. She grabbed a handful off of the top of the huge pile and put them in a cardboard boat. You can about imagine how they were. Flavor, not bad but texture, soggy, limp and old.
Another Charlotte area BBQ joint bites the dust. Too bad.
