| - After reading many of the reviews for this place, I agree with several: this place is as good as Carolina BBQ gets.
The building is nothing short of scary: less-than-great neighborhood, old, dingy, no windows, older than dirt...I never would have entered this place had the reviews on here not been so positive.
There's a big smoker right inside that you can look into. The guy operating it will tell you all about the meat, too. From the time I ordered, it took about 5 minutes to get our food, as he cut the pork and beef right there after we ordered. No steam trays or tubs of warm juice!
Their hush puppies are amazing; best I've ever had. They also dropped a plate of Texas toast onto the table, which I would typically ignore, as I'm not a big bread fan.
My girlfriend ate a piece, and commented on how good it was. Next thing I know, I downed two pieces, and would have eaten more, had we not already finished it.
How do they make it so good? It's just toast!
I've eaten at many good BBQ places in Charlotte, but they were just good. This place was excellent: great service, great food, and a positive all-around experience. Definitely worth driving up to the UNCC area to visit.
