Not the best neighborhood, as evidenced by the security guard keeping an eye on things. But who cares? These are some really great ribs! I got a full rack even though I knew that there was no way I could finish them all. As with all good ribs, they were tender and very meaty and completely fall-off-the-bone. Not exactly moist, but not dry either.
For sides, I chose the mac & cheese which was excellent. I also got the red slaw, which is probably really good for red slaw but I didn't care for it. The hush puppies were quite good and not greasy at all.
Was it a five star rack of ribs? Maybe, maybe not. But I enjoyed 'em, my daughter enjoyed the two she "stole" from me. And my wife enjoyed the three ribs we brought home.
Oh, and they had some Triple C on draft. Bonus!
Charlotte has quite a few really good barbecue places. Sauceman's should be close to the top of the list.
