This place has seen better days. Several minor cosmetic changes like wood panels rather than glass at the counter doesn't really add anything to the ambiance. But that wouldn't bother me if the food had remained as high quality as when they opened. Bbq pork lacked flavor, no discernable smoke flavor, no spices - the new Bojangles pork bbq bests it. The potato wedges were not crispy and had a lack of flavoring in the coating. The "banana pudding" was a joke - vanilla pudding with one wafer on top and no banana slices or even flavor! But that's not all, sadly the signature sauces also failed to live up to the past. The "Eastern Carolina" lacked heat and was merely poorly spiced vinegar. The "Stallings Secret" was barely passable but easily bested by generic grocery store bbq sauces. The "Carolina Gold" was perhaps the most disappointing as it was nearly without flavor. This is my wife's favorite sauce as she grew up living Piggy Park bbq in Columbia.
All told, if you want BBQ and you are in Mint Hill, keep driving!
