| - When I first moved back to Charlotte from Raleigh, some of my new co-workers told me to meet them at Moosehead for dinner. I had no clue what they were talking about, I had never heard of the place. When I got to the address they gave me, I recognized the building right away. It was a Pizza Hut I had been to a few times before I left. Boy am I glad it's not a Pizza Hut anymore...I love Moosehead! I go there as often as possible even though I am surrounded by restaurants and bars in Ballantyne where I live. It's always a diverse crowd, and the staff and regulars are friendly to talk to. I have yet to eat anything there that wasn't short of amazing.
If you like wings, go with the Bee-Stings and never look back. I was scared to try them at first, but after having them, they easily became the best wing I've ever had, hands-down. The Bee-Stings are #1 on my recommended foods there, and I'd have to put the BBQ Nachos at #2. There is so much flavor in their BBQ. The only thing negative I can say is that they don't always have them (there is a great reason for this though.) They won't let you settle for sub-par BBQ. This is the South, and if the BBQ doesn't taste good enough, they don't offer it.
When it comes to their portions, I feel like a kid again. I can hardly ever finish a plate. Their chicken fingers are huge (one was actually bigger than the brim on my hat one time), their fried cheese appetizer could feed a small African village for a week, and you'd think that you might find buried treasure once you get to the bottom of a plate of nachos. A word to the wise, take your friends there to help you eat what you can't finish. Share the chicken fingers, share the nachos, share the fried cheese...but with the Bee-Sting wings, eat them until your lips go numb!
If you want a specialty drink that's great any time of the year...ask for a Moose-Knuckle...you can thank me later.
