    Even though barbecue isn't necessarily my favorite, I do usually enjoy it when it's the group pick! I have been to a couple others and they are all solid locations. I came to this one for a work lunch with some colleagues and enjoyed a couple meats, collard greens and mac and cheese. Service was fast and friendly and everything tasted great. The pulled pork and chicken are my favorite, especially with one of the spicier sauces. The sides are a good portion too. Also love the condiment/sauce bar- endless pickles and jalapeños! My coworkers enjoyed their dishes too and we had a good quick lunch here. This location is larger and a lot more decorated, has a nice unique feel to it that makes me feel less chain-like. Sadly their rib bone Tuesday is now $2 instead of $1.8, thanks inflation :') Other than that, this is a solid spot! @azfitfoodfun

    Door dashed, order came hot and packaged well. For a chain this is decent bbq. Have say some of the best sides ever! The brisket was well cooked and seasoned. Also tried the smoked sausage, again was very good. Loved the corn pudding and the potato salad absolutely delicious. Baked beans and cole slaw again was good. The hush puppies were over cooked for my liking. But finished it off with some peach cobbler and gallon of sweet tea!

    I'm always looking for a place to eat after church on Sunday that's not packed. This was it since we arrived at noon. It started filling up by 12:30 and by 1pm there were just high top tables left. It's great for groups. If you're traveling and want real food but short on time, great spot. After ordering, I got our drinks, silverware and bbq sauces. About 2 minutes later our food was ready. Printed Menus are available while waiting in line, unfortunately the prices are not on them. The cashier was helpful helping me put together our order. $19.99 for brisket, 3 sides. My mom walks with a walker and I was able to get her seated in a booth before ordering. Dining area is also spacious enough for a wheelchair. There's patio seating as well. When you walk in pickup orders are to the left all others are to the right. Spacious dining area, clean. Napkins, ketchup, salt and pepper are on the tables. Parking is shared as it's located in a plaza. If you're the non meat eater in your party, minimal options. Many of the sides have meat in it. The side salad is good and has good lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onion. I also ordered the peach cobbler since I remember it being delicious. It was also at a different location. Not sure if the recipe changed but I'm no longer fond of it. Next time it'll be back to banana pudding. Hopefully that's the same. My mom loved her food as she devoured everything. I'm sure we'll be back.

    Super dry Beef Brisket

    Service and ambience were good. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the food seriously missed the mark. Very overpriced given the quality. Specifically the brisket. I've never had dryer brisket in my life. It lacked a smoke ring, aside from one burnt end, and was mostly flavorless. The sides were ok, nothing to brag about. Best thing were their hush puppies. These are done very well. Unfortunately if you are looking for brisket, look elsewhere. You can do better at the local Lowes Foods grocery store.

    Up visiting family and they suggested we all go here because it was close to the rehab facility. First impression the parking lot was empty for a Sunday. It's a small town so I guess it's to be expected. I noticed a lot of people pulling up with take out orders. It looks like a typical barbecue restaurant. The staff was friendly. My meal came up to $30 which I felt it was a bit much. The brisket was decent. My sides were actually pretty good. The chicken was okay. The cornbread was good. Overall it was decent not a fan fav

    Smoked wings

    Food is heavily and unnecessary greasy. Puts you to sleep every time. Wings were the worst I've had. Chewy skin. Rub tasted mostly of salt. Bbq sauce is high fructose corn syrup. Ribs were burnt, hard, dry, and smaller than competitors. Hushpuppies are big and crunchy. Peach cobbler is one of the best. 1/5 wings 2/5 ribs 4/5 Hushpuppies 5/5 peach cobbler I've been here 5 times. Quality was better a few years back but I think I'm tapped out here. Maybe I came on a bad day where their wings and ribs were really poor. I'll go elsewhere for bbq but will definitely return for that peach cobbler.

We shopped around through about 5 different well-known caterers in Charlotte, NC. None of the caterer's scored very high on our score card (and yeah, that's right we made a score card...wedding's are expensive and we weren't going to chance something as important as food). Then...our wedding planner pointed us to one final option. Mellorina's Catering Llc. Talk about an unexpected location. But I will testify Mel is a true pearl hidden in the depths of the ocean. Her professionalism, her prices, her food...OMG HER FOOD!!!!! I was born and raised in the south and I have not tasted chicken that tasted that good in my entire life. She is so flexible too. She made us a curry tofu dish, she made us a carribbean rice & peas, she made the most amazing mac & cheese, delectable corn bread, flawless dinner rolls. This woman's food is serious, she should be a 5 star chef, with her own restaurant, cooking books, the whole nine yards. All in all, if you want to know what caterer to use for your event in Charlotte, NC (or any surrounding areas) please stop wasting your time, stop searching, and find Mel. Find her catering company, and do whatever you have to do to get her on the books. There were many things that fell into place to make our wedding a dream come true. But one of the main reasons is because of the food & service from : Mellorina's Catering Llc You don't believe me, give the food a taste and see for yourself

We were literally in the middle of getting ready for her wedding rehearsal when my sister got a call from her venue, The Magnolia Room. The venue was calling to say that there were no bartenders, no staff, and possibly not even any catering because the vendors told them they weren't coming -- they hadn't been paid. You can imagine the shock, panic, and heartbreak my sister felt getting this news the day before her wedding, while she's trying to enjoy what should have been a joyful moment with her family and friends. She checked her email and found a message from the caterer where he casually said that he would "no longer be able to take care of the wedding tomorrow due to health issues." That was it. No phone call, no warning -- just an email less than 24 hours before the wedding. He even sent her a list of the vendors he had never paid, despite the fact that my sister had paid him months ago, in full. Because of his complete failure and dishonesty, my sister had to come out of pocket again -- at the last minute -- to pay for services she had already paid him for. I watched her, exhausted, in tears, calling around to salvage her own wedding because of this man's utter lack of responsibility. My sister still has not received her money despite his promise of refunding her within 14 days after the wedding. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. It was heartbreaking to watch my sister go through this -- the stress, the expense, the betrayal -- all because someone took her money, made empty promises, and walked away. Do not trust this company with your event.

Less than 24 hours before my wedding, Alexander Cruz canceled on us after having been paid months and even years in advance through multiple payments. He claimed it was due to "health issues," but that doesn't excuse the fact that he never paid any of the subcontractors -- no rental company, no staffing company, no bartenders. They all confirmed to us that he never paid them, even though we had already paid him in full. He left us scrambling at the last minute, nearly ruining our wedding. His lack of professionalism and accountability is shocking. One week after our wedding, he still has not refunded us a single cent. To make matters worse, his supposed coordinator, Gina Ricca, completely ghosted us. When things fell apart, she simply disappeared without offering any help, apology, or explanation. At this point, it's clear this is not just poor business practice -- it's dishonest and borderline fraudulent behavior. He took our money, failed to deliver the service, failed to pay his subcontractors, and is now avoiding responsibility. He is a scammer, and I would strongly warn anyone against trusting him with your money or your event.
