| - Look, opinions run strong in this area around BBQ. I get that. You may have another and that's okay. But, for me, I'm thrilled that Queen City Q is open in downtown Charlotte! Perhaps you can find better BBQ if you want to drive to Lexington or somewhere else in remote areas. But, I guarantee the difference isn't worth the fuel it takes to start your car or the grain it takes to feed your horse!
This place serves good pork BBQ and several other great meat/entree options too!! The ribs, brisket, chicken, and even the smoked sausage are all really good! That's one reason that I love to come here with a group, and just buy platters to share! I like it all!! Check out that Super Q Platter, get a beer, relax and "pig" out!!!
Speaking of beer, take a look at the beer menu!! Wow! Lots of craft beers to choose from and maybe try a new one!! There are 40+ drafts and then lots of bottled beers too! For me, I'm happy to enjoy my favorite - OMB Copper!
I've eaten a lot of food here, and can tell you that you won't go wrong whatever you order. It may not be how YOU would make it, but then, you aren't eating at home, are you? From the appetizer list - the Deviled Eggs w bacon (mmmm), their own Pimento Cheese (another mmmm)! The hushpuppies served w/ honey butter are really good, and then one of my favorites - the fried pickles!
There are several great sides to choose from including mac-n-cheese, collard greens, and baked beans w/ Neese's (a Greensboro, NC company) sausage - these are all winners for me! They have two different kinds of slaw - Low Country and Eastern NC BBQ slaw. I'll bet the Low Country is good, but I can't get by the Eastern style! And I'll stop there with the sides, cause there's quite a list.
The restaurant has lots of room and the wait staff has always been very attentive! If you need to hold a secret meeting, or maybe just a private function, they have a room you can reserve.
You can tell, I really like this place! And to think that it's in downtown Charlotte!! It is adjacent to a parking garage. And, it's right on the light rail line, so if you uh, don't want to drive home... or if you'd rather ride the rails... you can! And there is a Charlotte B-Cycle dock right outside the door. Lots of ways to get here! So, just get here!
