A friend and I were driving to Charlotte for a concert last night and stopped at Steve's Market &…read moreSmokehouse for our dinner. My buddy had been here before and insisted we eat there. It was a great suggestion as my food was very good. We ate on the Smokehouse side (there is a deli side as well that share the space and a unique speciality market as well). I ordered their "2-Meat and 2-Sides" meal, and chose the smoked Prime Beef brisket and pulled pork with scalloped potatoes and baked beans. Many other meats were available. The portions were good but the price was rather high but to be expected for this kind of restaurant. It was all excellent. The brisket was smoked and cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. It was not too fatty. The pulled pork was great too as were both my sides. It came with three hush puppies about the size of golf balls or slightly larger. There was plenty of seating despite it being very busy. They have a selection of adult beverages and several unique hard liquor drinks that looked interesting but I just had water. I'll eat here again. I would have liked to have explored the market area further but we did not have time.

My usual is the Italiano with jalapeños, but I'm…read morealso smitten with the Spicy Black Forest Ham (pro tip, go with cheddar over the pepper-jack cheese) and only lightly toasted... the pickle is such a nice touch. Four bucks extra gets you chips and a drink for a combo (pro tip, the drink can be one of the bottles from the coolers as well) While you're waiting for that beautiful sandwich, browse the butchery for some prime meat cuts, the coolers are stuffed with local NC cheeses, smoked meats, prepared items like pimiento cheese, feta, hoop cheese, dips, eggs, etc... The back end of the store has a wide selection of craft beers, wines, hot sauces, frozen meats, and frozen appetizers. There's often specials from the butchery that will give you deals on chicken wings, legs, thighs, and some beef cuts. You owe it to yourself to stop in, grab a sandwich, chill, and treat yourself to a piece of cheesecake for dessert.

The Italian Wedding soup and Chicken Marsala need a MAJOR re-working. The meatballs had an almost…read morerancid taste and were of poor quality and the broth somehow tasted like canned green beans?! I truly believe it comes from a can. The pasta in the chicken Marsala was too overcooked and mushy, the canned mushrooms felt like a cheap substitute, and the overall flavor tasted more like chicken noodle soup than a strong marsala. The chicken parm was good and I did like their bbq chicken pizza a lot. I really hope they will see this review and take these things into consideration.

We were sat within 15 to 20 minutes, with a party of 10 which is pretty freaking awesome. We started with some beers, waters, Diet Coke, and a few cocktails. We also tried the fried pickles which were pickled spears crispy, tasty, and light unfortunately though the coating kept fell off a lot, and that was a little annoying. The dipping sauce I believe a homemade ranch was good. Everyone basically ordered a plate which consisted of a meat of your choice two sides, and hush puppies. Overall, the food was tasty. The brisket was juicy. The pork was eaten up by all, and the hush puppies were crispy. The only issue would be the sides were OK. The french fries were good. The collards were raved about the corn pudding was OK and the green beans were tasty. I'd say this is a place to try. It's definitely a little bit of down home feel with comfort bites.
