Honestly one of the worst BBQ experiences I’ve had in North Carolina. I spent about $40 here, and for what I got, the price is wild. Some items were okay, but overall this place is overpriced and not worth it. 🔹 Mac & Cheese: Stiff. Dry. Blocky. Barely cheesy. It had no creaminess, no pull, no flavor just a hard block of noodles. Pointless side. Easily one of the worst mac & cheeses I’ve had at a BBQ spot. 🔹 Mashed Potatoes: Thick, pasty, and bland. Not fluffy. Not creamy. No seasoning. Just a heavy scoop with no taste whatsoever. 🔹 Chicken: The chicken was decent. Not amazing, not terrible just regular chicken. But for the price they charge, it should’ve been much better. Definitely not worth the cost. 🔹 Burnt Ends: Not good AT ALL. Chewy, tough, and honestly tasted overcooked. The sauce wasn’t enough to save the texture. These were the biggest disappointment on the plate. 🔹 Bread: Just a plain slice thrown in the box. No effort. 🔥 Final Verdict: Overall, this meal was not worth the money. If you want REAL NC BBQ, go to The Smoke Pit better quality, better prices, better flavor, better everything. Tell them JJ sent you. The mac & cheese and burnt ends were the breaking point for me. The chicken was decent, but decent chicken doesn’t carry a whole disappointing meal. JJ The Food Critic

Absolutely insanely good bbq! The egg rolls, burnt ends, ribs, Mac and cheese, okra, sausage, and brisket will change your life. The banana pudding and peanut butter cheese cake were amazing as well. MUST go for bbq while in Charlotte!

Ive stopped at Mac's a few times driving though the Charlotte area and always enjoy it. Food has always been excellent and the menu is broad enough to give options. Most recently had a really good burgers then washed it down with a beer and a few wings. Nothing disappointed on this visit.
