| - For starters-let me explain what BBQ means in the Carolinas. Unless you see a BBQ restaurant with a modifier like Texas or St. Louis, you can bet that BBQ is pulled or minced PORK. In eastern NC, they flavor the BBQ with vinegar-esque sauce. In western NC (i.e. 'piedmont style'), its flavored with tomato sauce. SC style BBQ is flavored with mustard.
The Rock House is typical Carolinas BBQ that caters to all tastes. The BBQ is cooked plain and you are given a choice of these 3 aforementioned sauces to doctor it up. Though their BBQ is not as flavorful as actually marinating the BBQ in the sauces, Rock House makes a meaty BBQ sandwich for a good price. Their lunch combo is $5.50, which a BBQ sandwich, a side dish, and a drink. If you don't like slaw, be sure to order your sandwich without it. This is standard procedure for making BBQ sandwiches.
The mac n cheese is the best-creamy, cheddary goodness, yum yum. The baked beans are top-notch as well. Like your typical BBQ joint, they have banana pudding, coleslaw, and Brunswick stew as sides. If you're in Mint Hill, stop by the Lowe's Foods to find this little gem. Also, they have a location in Stallings- a literal rock house on Old Charlotte Hwy. (or Monroe Rd. as its called in Charlotte). You won't be disappointed.
