I needed the steak knife they gave me to cut the brisket!!! This is truly terrible brisket. The sauce was good, but it was hard and chewy. Would be good as jerky. The wings were great and loved the NC Sauce. Chips and salsa with pimento cheese were okay, and the cheese grits were good too. Tried the Carolina Stew and that was forgettable (tasted like canned minestrone soup). The terrible brisket (3 small slices for $18) just ruined the entire meal. Shame on you, Mac's. I can't believe you would even plate it for a customer and consider it edible.
