I got a BBQ Shoulder, Smoked Chickens, and a BBQ Tenderloin. Kelly , the Owner was willing to prepare it a day ahead for me against his original planned schedule.

Our family had the best Thanksgiving due this awesome cook at The Peanut Gang. We even ordered more food at Christmas. Our whole family just couldn't stop talking about how delicious the bbq was and Kelly's special bbq dip was great .Now they want it every year.

The food..we did the deviled eggs, which were good, not a wow just your basic deviled eggs nothing fancy. We got the smoked wings, fish and chips and stuffed hush puppies. Everything was good. The stuffed hush puppiss stole the show for me. They were stuffed with pimento cheese and came with a side of this garlic butter! They were absolutely amazing and so flavorful. The wings were also very good, we got the cheerwine BBQ I've never heard nor had but man, so good. The fish and chips were good. Excellent cooked seasoned fries. Two nice pieces of fish. For me the fish was little over fried, but still very enjoyable.

The George Clinton Mural was on the side of the Towel City Tavern building, so since I was already…read morethere, I decided to have lunch. Towel City Tavern has two floors and is connected to the baseball stadium. Only the first floor was open during my visit. The Cabarrus Brewing Co. serving tanks are what you see as you enter. If you order a beer, it will be fresh as it comes directly from the tanks, as it is brewed on site. The restaurant's name pays homage to the city's textile roots and the towels made at the mills. The restaurant design also incorporated the town's history with Cannon Mills. The restaurant has an industrial feel with the open kitchen, high ceilings, concrete floors, exposed brickwork and steel structures. The tables were crafted from a 160-year-old tree that fell on the mill property. There were garage doors that likely opened during the games. They offer a $10 lunch special that includes a drink, side and entree. The $10 menu had a lot to select from: sandwiches, wraps, salads, wings, and a burger. I went with the All-American burger and fries. My burger was a good size, cooked to order and tasted great. The fries were really good, too. Service was great and attentive too. I was even offered a tea to go. My waiter got me in and out of the restaurant fast so I could get to the Music Hall of Fame on time. I did stop at the mural again on my way back to the car. Parking was free in the street spots and no time limits. Although I am not sure about the rules on game days/nights. With my favorite mural on the building, I have a feeling I will be back again to try more menu items and maybe see a ballgame too.

I order the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit and a side of home fries. Nothing tasted store bought. Each item on the biscuit tasted fresh and the home fries were seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend.

My Dillinger Smashburger was amazing, hubby ordered the cheesesteak - good, but more bread than filling.

If you're a Midwesterner living down South (or just someone who knows the magic of a true tavern…read moreexperience), The Stag & Doe will feel like a warm hug and a high-five the moment you walk in. It's the closest thing I've found to a Southern Indiana tavern--and trust me, that's the highest of compliments. The wood-paneled walls, vintage beer signs, red and white checkered tablecloths, baskets of crackers waiting at your table, and ice-cold beer mugs are pure nostalgia. They even have the old-school tavern pizza that tastes just like home. I didn't know whether to cry tears of joy or order another round (spoiler: I did both). The prices are so good it almost feels illegal. A frosty mug is $4, but you're better off grabbing the small pitcher for $8 (about 3.5 glasses) -- or go big with the larger pitcher for $16 if you're feeling generous. And yes, you can even get Blue Moon at that price! #worthit. They're famous for their spaghetti, but my boyfriend can never resist the ribs--and every time the waitress offers to "add shrimp," he says yes without hesitation (it's basically tradition now). It's about a 35-minute drive from Charlotte (add time for the inevitable traffic), but it's absolutely worth it. The only thing missing is a giant fishbowl beer glass and some cheeseballs... then this place would be a 20/10, no contest. The food? Fantastic. The prices? Even better. But the feeling of being "at home" when you're 600 miles away? Absolutely priceless. Stag & Doe is a hidden gem, a tavern treasure, and officially the apple of my eye. I'll be back again and again--save me a pitcher.

The host/server didn't greet us or say hello--instead, she looked confused that we were even there. When we asked if we could sit at the bar, her response was, "Um... yeah, I guess," which immediately made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. After we sat down, she continued staring at us as if we weren't supposed to be there. The service only got worse from there. She was rude while taking our order, then spent most of the time sitting directly across from us on her phone. She never once checked on us, asked how the food was, or if we needed refills or anything else. It was some of the most inattentive and unprofessional service I've experienced. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. It was mediocre at best. The vegetables in my curry were clearly freezer-burned, which completely ruined the dish. I also ordered soup with tofu in it, and the tofu tasted like it had been fried in oil that hadn't been changed in months. It had an old, rancid, greasy flavor that made it almost impossible to eat. Overall, the poor customer service and disappointing food made this a terrible experience. I won't be coming back, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

DO NOT CONFUSE THIS PLACE WITH WHATABURGER... THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!!…read more We saw a review of this place on YouTube and decided to try it out because it's "sorta" on our way through NC. "Sorta..." means the exit is off 85 but the restaurant is 8.5 miles off the exit. That said, we would do it again. And that should tell you mostly what you need to know because it's not super convenient to get to, but it is worth it. It also says a lot that this place was PACKED! Founded in 1955 in Kannapolis, NC, I see some similarities to what the big chain Whataburger USED to be. Which got me thinking that someone copy-catted someone. I had to know so I looked it up and saw Whataburger was founded in 1950, five years before this business.... I can only assume the founders of this restaurant visited Texas, tried that famous burger restaurant and brought the idea back to NC with them. And I'm not mad about that because, where the "famous" Whataburger has dropped the ball and failed, What-A-Burger has continued to succeed when it comes to quality. As a matter of fact, if I closed my eyes and took a bite of the What-A-Cheeseburger.... It instantly reminds me of my childhood days in Texas. The bread was fresh, the lettuce crispy, the tomato juicy, the cheese not old or congealed and the patty was fresh, juicy and had that amazing true grilled taste. We also tried the hotdog. Coming standard with chili, slaw, onions, we added mustard. And while I loved the What-A-Cheeseburger a lot, I was surprised to find (because I don't generally care for hotdogs) that the hotdog was my favorite item. The chili had a great flavor. The slaw was creamy and crisp, the onions were also crisp, and again the bun was very fresh. The hotdog itself had good flavor and snap to it. We did have a few minor negatives. The fries had no seasoning on them and the onion rings were just okay. Not bad by any means but not stellar. Neither of these are a dealbreaker for us, though. I saw after ordering that they have curly fries so maybe next time we'll give those a try. The drink selection is definitely quirky but I like quirky. While they serve some Pepsi products, they do not sell Mountain Dew. Their Pepsi lineup is limited to Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Starry. They also offer Patio Red Cherry (I don't know what that is) SunDrop, and Cheerwine; along with what they call, "The Witch Doctor." I got that and while I'm not sure what's all in it, I loved it! Definitely different and I'd get it again. Sweet and unsweetened tea are also offered. The staff were friendly and helpful and while waiting for our food, I struck up a conversation with an elderly man who said he's been coming here for as long as they've been here. Building is a bit dated, but I like that about it. It adds to the experience. They are both a drive in and a dine in place with the old carhop order stations, which again, I thought was pretty awesome. Overall, our experience here was great. This place has almost no social media presence, which while it makes finding an updated menu a challenge, I'd rather them keep putting the focus on their great food, rather than pandering to the masses. 8/10... would absolutely come back.
