BLT
Jeff F.

Came here to see a band, but decided to order a BLT. The BLT was really really good! The fries that came with it weren't the best, they were a little undercooked for my tastes. Also I ordered curly fries and they gave me crinkle cut fries, not the end of the world but was kind of odd that she asked me what I wanted and then proceeded to give me the wrong one!

Wow, I didn't have any other option at the time, but I understand why people have had bad experiences; the man at the bar has a bad attitude toward everyone. Maybe a lot of people don't care about that, but for us, service attitude is very important, and this man has the worst attitude. I'm sure they'll delete my comment, just like the others I posted about Stephens Grill in California. Honest feedback about the rude staff at these places doesn't work in their favor. Terrible service, terrible food, and the man has a cocktail menu but told us he never actually makes those cocktails.

I should have known better...

Worst. Decision. Ever. I thought maybe a local sports bar would offer some local color, maybe some decent food. Not so. The best part of my visit was the beer; they had a local Edinbrue IPA, which hit the spot. I can't say as much for the French dip. At least the tots were fried all the way through. Unless you're a hopeful in the comedy open mic night (I left before it started) or a crappy dive bar enthusiast, stay away. Far, far away.

Chicken, bread, and that's all there is to this sandwich.

Another late review! And this one really hurts because my phone battery died, so I didn't get a…read morechance to take many photos. I may have one or two on my husband's phone that I still need to pull. Now, let me tell you...this place is amazing! And it was even better because our server was phenomenal. He gave us just the right amount of attention without us ever having to ask twice--or even once! He kept our drinks refilled and checked in to see if we needed anything else. That kind of service makes such a difference. The interior is unique and really cool. I especially loved the idea of hanging a full-size motorcycle from the ceiling. Definitely a great conversation piece! We had a party of five, and all five of us ordered something different, ranging from a chicken salad to tacos, hush puppies, and, of course, my Chopped Brisket Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I'm already drooling again just thinking about it! The brisket was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of seasoning. But let me talk about those sweet potato fries... THE BEST sweet potato fries I've had so far! They were crispy on the outside and actually tasted like sweet potatoes. I've had sweet potato fries at other restaurants that were soggy and tasted more like frying oil than sweet potato. These were completely different--crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I 100% recommend them! So, if you're in the Charlotte area, do yourself a favor and stop by Mac's Speed Shop at 2414 Sandy Porter Road. Great food, great atmosphere, and phenomenal service. I would definitely go back!

Mac's is not really what I'd call a barbecue place but dang do they have great bbq!! The brisket…read moreburnt ends are perfect and just melt in your mouth. I think of them more as a burger or southern food place but they do pay special attention to the art of the que. Very few places smoke wings and most of the ones that do, the wings are amazing. Macs is no exception. If you're a wing person who likes layers of flavor with your wings then you won't be disappointed here. Pairs perfectly with crispy beer battered fries. The deluxe devils if they're still on the menu are really good...deviled eggs with jalapeños on top! I like their tacos as well. They have a brisket taco that really smacks and the shrimp taco hits hard too. Service is consistently good. As far as ambiance, it doesn't really get any points for style....nothing really says "hey we're a speed shop" like you'd see at Quaker Stake or other speed themed bars and restaurants. It's somewhat generic but that's okay. This is one of my go to places when I'm visiting Fayettenam.

This was our first visit to any Kickback Jack's. The hostesses were very friendly and we were…read moreseated immediately. When we first walked in, I immediately noticed how dirty the glass doors were going into the restaurant and then again between the restaurant and the outdoor seating area, they could definitely use a deep cleaning. Our server was very friendly as well. She recommended a good drink & we ordered drinks and she took our food order pretty quickly. We started out with the Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls, and ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Cuban that they had on the specials menu. The food came out fairly quickly, but we were missing items and the server was nowhere to be found, so we decided to split our meals so we could both try each sandwich. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were OK, they were a little on the mushy side and didn't really have a whole lot of flavor. Could definitely have used some peppers inside the rolls and/or maybe a spicy ranch dip rather than plain ranch. The chicken sandwich was really good and so were the sweet potato fries. I would've liked to have tried the Cuban when it was fresh, but I was missing an item so I didn't want to try it without it. Luckily with having an appetizer and splitting one of the sandwiches, it ended up being plenty of food, and since my sandwich was missing something, we just decided we would take it home. The server did not come back to our table to check on us or our food until we were completely done with one of the meals. She did bring out the missing item and to go boxes for the leftovers. Overall, the food was OK, definitely a "chain" style restaurant. I won't go out of my way to go back.

It's a chain restaurant but everything was great. Service was above average. Everyone was friendly…read more Food came out when it should. Everything was delicious and we ate more that we should've. We walked out happy and FULL. Baked beans are a little sweet and meaty. They were really good. The burger was juicy (cooked medium-well, just like I ordered). It was a bacon cheeseburger with some really good bacon jam. I would definitely come back. They have plenty of parking!
