| - Queen City Q takes the place of what was dubbed "Our Little Spot," Elwood's. So I was really curious to see how well this place stacked up. Honestly, I've only been there once, so this is going off of one dinner.
The BBQ in Austin Texas pretty much ruined all BBQ for me back home in Charlotte unless I smoked it myself. I've since had brisket too tough and brisket that crumbles... But this place was definitely ahead of the curve.
I ordered the brisket, it's my spirit animal. Being this is a Central Texas delicacy in the Carolinas, I knew it's probably not what they're known for, but it was cooked pretty much perfect. It's advertised as Texas style, but it's not. This brisket is slathered in sauce as opposed to having it on the side (or none at all.) But, the sauce was really delicious to be honest and it didn't take anything away from the meat. I also noticed grill marks on each slice, kind of nice touch for appearance. Surprising to myself, I really enjoyed this style of brisket! The sides were amazing too! Get the Mac and Cheese!
Looking through the menu, there seems to be plenty to choose from! Wish they did burnt ends, but they have hush puppies with cinnamon butter like Elwood's had! Can't wait to make a return trip, I think I may have found my new "Our Little Spot!"
