Bill Spoon's BBQ is a small hole in the wall restaurant in Charlotte owned and operated by the Spoon's family. I have actually been going here with my grandparents since I was 10 or 11 years old.
Spoon's has a small group of extremely loyal customers who have been visiting the location for several decades. They retain customer loyalty not only because of the ridiculously tasty barbecue, but also because each member of the staff radiates a warm small town friendliness that makes each customer feel special and appreciated.
The barbecue itself is definitely the best that I have ever tasted. They avoid using any heavy tomato based barbecue sauce. Instead they blend peppers and spices into the pork and keep the meat its original color. They offer their homemade barbecue sauce as a side item along with a homemade spicy vinegar creation that can be easily imitated but never duplicated.
Make sure you stop by this place next time you are in Charlotte. It is a one of the most popular small restaurants in town. Spoon's is almost a local celebrity, who is always spoken about during conversations concerning great barbecue.
