| - Tried this location for the first time last night. Waited about 15 minutes for a table, but was OK with this since it was a Friday night. After being seated, the waiter came right over and took my order. I ordered the two meat combo (ribs and brisket) with 2 sides: a baked potato and creamed spinach. After a 20 minute, wait the waiter came over and apologized for the wait, saying that the kitchen was backlogged with orders. I have never heard this excuse before in any restaurant in which I've eaten, in in Charlotte or anywhere else for that matter, If the kitchen can't keep up with the orders, something is wrong somewhere.
First, the food. I got 5 ribs, which were baby ribs, not full size. They were good, but stuck together so getting them apart was a real chore. The brisket, about 5 pieces, was dry and two of the pieces were pure fat. The sides were excellent. The service was fine.
The place itself is very attractive, but the noise level is ear-splitting. To make it worse, they have loud music playing in the background. I don't think I'll be returning.
You want great barbeque: Dickey's. It's mostly take out, but the ribs are full-sized and the brisket is really lean and delicious.
