As soon as you walk into Queen City Q it's hard not to get your hopes up. I really wanted the food to knock my socks off but unfortunately it was just OK. I'd certainly come back but a few other barbecue joints in Charlotte (Sauceman's and Midwood Smokehouse to name a few) are better. We started off with the Pimento cheese dip which was excellent! It is served chilled and with what seemed liked homemade chips to dip with. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. To me the pork was a bit dry as was the bread it was served on. They were also a bit stingy with the coleslaw they put on top of the sandwich. I've had many a sweet potato fry in my day and these were just OK. I've had better and I've had worse. On a positive note, the service was top notch. Our server was very attentive, stopping by frequently (but not too frequently!) to either refill drinks or ask if we needed anything.
