My husband brought the plate home, dropped it off and said he was going to McDonald's because there wasn't enough food there for the both of us! The brisket is just a glob of slick mush floating in liquid fat, so it's not edible, making the plate even smaller. Plus, the cup that holds the slaw is only 2/3 full. Three hushpuppies for two people - I guess we are supposed to cut one in half? A child sized portion of cold, limp fries? The only salvagable item that could be nibbled on was the small mound of pork. What is happening at the MP Smokehouse???

The meat-to-cheese was on point and the onions were grilled to perfection! I travel for work, so I've been blessed to have had the chance to try iconic meals from all over the world. This sandwich was better than any other Philly I've ever had (even over the ones I've had from Philadelphia)! It was juicy, flavorful, and I didn't want it to end! If this place is far for you, just go. You will not regret making the trek.

Take out order Pros:…read more- 15 minutes from the time we ordered to receiving the food. - Clean environment. Cons; - The lady that took our order asked us if we placed an onlne order if we needed to place a to go order 15 minutes later. We sat on the outside bench. - When we received our food from the same lady, we only received our fried pickles. She didn't check the ticket with the bag. We were missing a salad, a chicken salad sandwich, and a brisket grilled cheese. - Then we get into our car and double checked everything again. No utensils. Had to go back in for some. - Food quality: meh. The brisket grilled cheese had zero flavor or smokiness. The side of greenbeans for almost $4 was not worth it. Small portion size. Not sure how they seasoned them but they weren't good. The fried pickles were undercooked. Need more choices for salad dressings. The chicken salad sandwich was bland. We won't be back

Mount Pleasant Smokehouse... yeah, that's a no from me…read more While waiting for my order, I watched other customers' meals and already had a feeling this would be money wasted. I took everything home to give it a fair shot, so here we go: Mashed Potatoes - Definitely better with gravy. The homestyle potatoes, with the peel included, were a nice touch. Without gravy, they needed salt and pepper. The gravy itself had a brown mushroom flavor that gave the potatoes some much-needed taste. Hushpuppies - Crispy on the outside, soft and full on the inside. No complaints here. Baked Beans - A complete miss. No flavor at all--just bland, straight-out-of-the-can vibes. Ribs - They pulled apart easily, but despite the light saucing, they had no real flavor. Brisket - Had a nice smoky taste, but definitely needed sauce. Unfortunately, the vinegar-based sauce they provided was a mistake--thin, watery, and just bad. Chicken - The best thing I tried. Lightly sauced, with a good smoky flavor that actually carried through the meat. I hope they improve, but for me, this was a one-and-done experience. #GratuityAdded #CharlotteEats #MountPleasantSmokehouse #CabarrusEats #Cabarrus #CabarrusBBQ #charlottefood #charlottenc #cltfoodie #charlottefoodie #charlottesgotalot #exploreclt #charlottefoodies #cltfoodies #issawrap #cltfoodbloggers #charlottefoodguide #charlottefoodblogger

You ever hear about a place and have it on your list forever before you finally give it a try?!?…read moreYep, that was me with 73 & Main. Friends had been raving about this place years ago but I never made it out.....until this week. Queen's Feast (ie Restaurant Week) was the perfect opportunity to give them a try. I made a reservation, just to be safe. But it wasn't really needed at the time/day we went. When we arrived, we were promptly seated. I loved the restaurant decor....it has an old elegant feel with all the wood paneling. There is a row of windows lining one side which brightens things up. There was a bar area almost hidden behind a wall that I happened to find when walking to the bathroom. Our waitress, while busy, was very pleasant and accommodating. I ordered off of the Restaurant Week menu. The Zucchini Fries were delicious! The batter was very flavorful and the portion size was generous. My main dish, the Sesame Tuna was really good as well, although the Brussel Sprouts were the true star of the show. The bread pudding was pretty good, although the sweetness of it overpowered any other flavor profile for me. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely return again. Please note that the parking was a little tricky. There was a lot behind the building but cara parked on both sides made it nearly impassible. We opted to park across the street in the free, public parking lot.

Food is always amazing and on this visit we were trying out their submission for the Cabarrus March Burger Madness competition. While it was very yummy, it wasn't a winning entry this year for us. It was a little too safe in creativity. But the burger was delish! The restaurant is nicely appointed and has a great bar area and a bourbon bar area as well. They had live music while we were there and it was pretty loud. I didn't love that at all. Maybe live music should be out on the patio because it was pretty hard to have a conversation with our party of six. BUT overall, we love 73&Main and we'll be back

We originally ordered the Brooklyn and the Godfather to go, but while we were waiting the smell alone convinced us to stay, and we seriously devoured both.

We'll definitely be back to try dessert and grab one of their pre-prepared pastas for dinner. And on your way out, don't miss the little mint patty gumball-style machine by the door.

Great use of an old gas station and they've mastered the craft if a good burger. Great place to hang out on a nice day and enjoy good food. The burger was filling and flavorful. Since it is part of the March burger madness competition no modifications could be made to it. I'm not a pickle or mustard fan and didn't want either. Thankfully I was able to take the pickle off and there was no after taste from it and the amount of mustard wasn't overwhelming. The burger patty was cooked well & juicy. You really can't go wrong cooking anything in duck fat. I got the seasonal salad as my side. I've not had anything quite like it before but it was good. I believe it had beets, pecans, pickled red onions, and a vinaigrette. I could be wrong in the toppings but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

A very nice environment for dinning or a nice event. A plethora of seating options, high top tables, booths, standard tables and even outdoor seating. The service we got from Cameron was great. Not rushed, he answered all our questions and was attentive but not intrusive. So friendly and efficient. The food was stellar, seriously. They offer several different steak cuts, preparation options and phenomenal sides. The entree offerings are very impressive. But the surprise for me was the menu. Many of the dishes offered full portions or small portions. Even as we were eating OUR meals I was watching what was being delivered at nearby tables. Amazing. I would give more stars if I could.

Ordered at 1:14 and at 1:46 after still not getting our food and hearing numbers after ours we went to the counter and asked if our order had gotten lost. They said the order had just been put out and she assumed someone else must have picked up our order. Personally I think they just dropped our order and said someone else had picked it up so they didn't seem responsible for forgetting us. I could be wrong and they just gave it to someone without checking their ticket/receipt though, which is still not efficient. They remake it and got it wrong: my husband ordered fries but they gave him tots and at this point we're already late to where we're supposed to be so he just ate them. I also got tots and be warned you get the tiniest little cluster of less than a dozen of them and mine were somehow cold. Then as we left I asked for a refill of the diet Cherry Lemon Sundrop I ordered at the beginning and saw her put cherry Fanta in it (not diet) so I mentioned that and she said that's how they do diet CLS: it's half diet sundrop and half cherry Fanta. Yet when I asked when I ordered my drink if they had diet CLS, she said yes, which is a lie, so if you order that be prepared that it's half cherry Fanta instead and plan on the extra calories. Overall very frustrated with the portion sizes, the extreme wait, the lack of system for checking tickets before giving out food, and the fact that we only got a half hearted apology for all their mistakes.
