Went to this unassuming place by the antique mall this afternoon and highly recommend it. Yes, barbecue is a somewhat personal and controversial subject in the south. Depending on your geography and upbringing, you may bring preconceived ideas about what good 'Q ought to be. In Charlotte alone there are probably a hundred styles. This accounts for the roller coaster reviews for any barbecue joint. There's a lot of emotion in that thar smoke. Peace n hominy, though, has got a good thing going. We had the smoked wings and the ribs which are only available on Friday and Saturday. The meat was really good. Well seasoned with a good pink smoke ring. The ribs were soft enough to just about fall off the bone but not soft enough to totally come apart. They have several sauces. Original, three amigos, vinegar based and a sriracha based. Tried em all. No losers in the crowd. The slaw comes in regular, barbecue and jalapeƱo. No losers here either. Smoked six cheese mac'n'cheese? You just may get tired of winning...
Finished up. Toweled off with the wet naps. Grabbed a tea refill to go. Will be back to try the hush puppies.
Staff, by the way, is warm and welcoming like a small family place should be. Prices were great. They also did a nice job decorating the place. Thanks for lunch!
