We happened upon Boone's in the parking lot of our office complex. There is a long line for a reason. My GOD! I've known about them for about 3 weeks now, and have eaten there 3 times, even trekking to South End for Food Truck Friday. I've had a brisket sandwich, Apricot Chipotle Wings, Smoked Sausage and ribs. I've also tried the baked beans and chow chow. My GOD! If there's better around town, or anywhere within an hours drive of Charlotte, I haven't found it. Lord knows I've been searching for a while.
The brisket is smoky with delicious fat around the edges. The wings are chargrilled and the Apricot Chipotle sauce is just spicy enough. The ribs are to die for. Fall off the bone perfection. The smoked sausage sandwich is nummers, and comes topped with mustard BBQ sauce and chow chow. Co-workers have tried pretty much everything else on the menu and have raved about those options as much as I raved above. People who swear they hate collard greens are crazy about the greens from Boone's. If you find them, get there early. They've sold out all 3 times I've dined with them. If you're near the Farmer's Market on Yorkmont Rd, they park in 3 different parking lots on Yorkmont Rd Tuesday - Thursday and are at FTF the 3rd Friday of every month. Do yourself a favor and search them out.
