I love going to new barbecue places when I'm in the South so I looked forward to trying out this winner of a recent Charlotte Observer contest. The chopped barbecue was good but not as tender as it might have been, perhaps earning a B+. The slaw was great as were the hush puppies. Just an aside, if your hush puppies come round like golf balls, they can tend to be doughy on the inside, if they come as Fletcher's do shaped more like a small straightened croissant, then you've got the real thing. The dining room was small and you will likely wait for a table but the decor is fun UNC-Chapel Hill memorabilia so be careful who you take there by double-checking their alma mater. The Duke graduate's digestion will not be enhanced by the surroundings.
