| - My fiance likes to go here for lunch since his work is nearby. Back in early summer before I started working in the Steele Creek area I would meet him on occassion here for lunch, and holy moly-- they have some high baller bbq.
When you walk in, the first impression is....how to say... Most definitely not a bistro atmosphere. But do overlook the decor (if you are accustomed to the Epicenter or Myers Park, all the rebel flags may be a little alarming), because the food is worth it and the ladies that work there are real southern belles-- just as sweet as their iced tea. When you walk in, go to the counter at the back-- you'll see one of the girls at the register, and the menus are up there as well. Place your order, and depending on how busy it is, you can either seat yourself, or one of the waitresses will seat you. The food is fresh and cooked following your order. The kitchen is open, so you can see the cooks doing what they do best-- frying up hush puppies, oninon rings, and basting ribs.
I can't help myself when I dine here-- I always get the same thing. It's delicious, and always hits the spot: Pulled pork bbq sandwich with a side of onion rings, and a sweet tea. My fiance, Casey, always orders the rib tray with hush puppies on the side. The first time I ordered the sandwich, I couldn't believe there was no sauce on the meat. See what you have to do is squirt that bad boy on yourself; on each table are those ketchup-like squirt bottles filled with different flavors of bbq sauce. I like to mix the two (the thicker, sweet bbq sauce is dark, and the other more vinegar one has red pepper and other spices floating around in it) . Oh so yummy. I've come to prefer it this way because I can decided how much sauce I want. The onion rings are thickly battered and fried to perfection. You won't go hungry here-- the sides are ample.
I usually eat a bit of Casey's ribs, and the funny thing is every time I do, I say that I will order that dish next time, but never do. It's funny how people fall into patterns and crave the same dish from certain restaurants. The hush puppies are delightful; slightly sweet, and perfect for cutting the richness of the ribs. Born and raised right here in Charlotte, NC, I know good sweet tea when I taste it, and this place has the mix down. Too sugary, and you get the pucker-face; not sweet enough, and you'll see scowls and muttering. Just right, and you'll see an empty glass. I usually leave with an empty glass at this restaurant.
If you dig on the pig, check this place out! It's worth the drive for sure.
