Being a northern transplanted to Charlotte area. I have been hitting every BBQ place I can convince my wife to go to. Mac's is probably one our favorites at this point. We never have to wait really and it's been relatively crowded sometimes. The ribs and pulled pork hits the nail on the head. Fried pickles and the onion rings were awesome. My favorite is the smoked sausage I love it. Beer is always cold selection is top notch they have featured craft beers of the month but they also have tall boys of coors light. The service is fast like sometime a little to fast but it's alright by me I hate waiting for my food. You have 4 options for sauces mustard based, vinegar based, tomato based, and carolina style. The hush puppies are excellent and they come out before your meal so you can yes them to try sauces. They have challenge to eat a five pound sandwich which I'm working up the courage To try one day.
