| - During a recent business trip, I stopped into Mac's with some coworkers based on their recommendation for the beer selection. While I was set on exploring a local brewery we ended up here, and luckily they had a massive beer list with a number of local beers many of which were available on draft.
Beer selection is the real highlight of Mac's however after sitting and socializing over work for a bit, we decided it was time to grab a bite to eat. I decided to go with the Carolina Beef Brisket, which is 9 oz. of your choice of lean, fatty or both, dry rubbed & slow smoked for 12 hours & finished on the grill with our Western NC BBQ sauce, served with caramelized onions. I wasn't given the choice of what type of cut I preferred and received a lean thick cut which after being grilled again it seemed dried out and really lacked any flavor, luckily the bbq sauce helped a bit. Personally, I could have gone without the brisket being grilled and cooked again. I probably should have just went with a burger instead.
The atmosphere here is more of a dive sports bar, however, it was a pretty relaxed vibe with plenty of TVs to catch your favorite game. Prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly however I am not sure I would return for the food.
