| - We've been fans of Mac's for some time, but didn't go all that often because it was too far to roam. Then, we figured out that there was a location nearer... this one!
And so, I've been more than once recently.
We had some food catered (pork barbecue and Mac 'n Cheese) for a summer party. Catering was easy to use, food was prepared perfectly and on time. This is simply one of the best solutions when you are expecting company and don't want to cook yourself!
If you haven't been to Mac's, you just need to go! So many good choices on the menu!! Of course they are known for the barbecue. Their pork barbecue is hard to beat! But then, try a sampler... You won't be disappointed in ANY of the meats at Mac's. The brisket, the ribs, the sausages, AND the chicken... all are really good!
Several good starters... I like the fried pickles w/ ranch!
If you don't choose the Mac 'n Cheese as one of your sides... that's okay (more for me!), but you should. It's NOT diet food, but hey, you can WALK home if you need to make up for the extra calories! I also like the baked beans and the collard greens. Not so crazy about their green bean casserole... but others seem to be! My friend (from SC) ordered the Brunswick Stew and said it was really good (and a little spicy too!)! I'll try that myself soon... I'm sure!
Beverages... of course they have whatever you might want, but for me... they have COPPER!! Beer brewed by The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, right here in Charlotte. There is just nothing better (for me) with this barbecue!!
So, this week, I ordered dessert. I never had before, because I was too darned full! But the friend I was with wanted something, so I followed along. Let me tell you... the Banana Pudding was simply some of the best I've ever encountered. Now I have a real problem - how to go back and NOT order it! If you find yourself stuffed, order it anyway and take it home to eat later.
The only downside for this place is that parking can get a little short! But that, in itself, tells you how good it is, right?
I'm sure that I'll see you there... shortly!!
