Fantastic barbecue in Ballantyne! (I haven't been to the Plaza-Midwood location so I can't compare the two.)
The burnt ends are delicious; the beef brisket is amazing; the chopped pork is awesome. I have always gotten excellent, friendly service here.
I brought some foodies from Chicago here- they admitted they were skeptical at first due to the squeaky clean strip mall location (which is, of course, how we roll in South Charlotte)- but they totally freaked out about how legit the food is.
I love this place.
