"5"^^ . "I went to the Yelp event at the City Barbecue in Matthews and had a great time (I'd go out on a limb and say it was the best Yelp Elite event I've been to) so when this location opened closer to home, my fianc\u00E9 and I had to go support them. \n\nLet's start with the employees - they were all super nice. You know how in commercials, restaurant employees smile genuinely at the customer and laugh jovially? It was like that minus the commercial. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I noticed that they brought the food out to a couple near us who was dining with a cranky infant, rather than calling their name to come to the counter and pick it up. I appreciate little things like that - kindness. \n\nThe food was amazing! I ordered the brisket sandwich combo with corn pudding and fries. It was so much food that I barely ate any of the fries. My fianc\u00E9 had the brisket, sausage, mac and cheese, and baked beans - he loved it all. \n*If I had one area for improvement, it would be for there to be some fish/shrimp options. As a person who doesn't eat a lot of meat, I won't be able to come here as often as I want because of the limited options without meat. That being said - when I do come, I know it will be wonderful.\n\nGreat food! Great experience! We will be back."^^ . "8"^^ . "10"^^ . "4"^^ . . . "2017-07-15T00:00:00"^^ . .
