My husband and I ordered the "Pick 2" option. Once taxes & a 10% tip were added, we spent $30. The…read moreamount of food we received was pathetic. 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???

First time eating here, taking our kid to great wolf lodge, stopped to grab a bite…read more Girl at the counter suggested if we like spicy, should definitely try the T-Dee cheesesteak. Cheesesteak is one of my favorite sandwiches. For sure I would love to try! Damn! It was awesome! Perfect meat to cheese ratio, with crispy bacon bits inside. The banh mi style sandwich bread is a perfect combo. Crunch on the outside and soft and a bit of a bite on the inside. Now I wanna come back and try a lot more of their sammitches!

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.

My husband and I were in the neighborhood after grabbing coffee at Provided Coffee Co and went…read morelooking for something to eat... and wow, are we glad we did. 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. Easily some of the best sandwiches we've ever had. Truly felt like a slice of New York tucked right into Concord, NC. 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. Such a nostalgic touch and honestly the cutest detail. took a photo for my momma! Highly, highly recommend.

As a native New Yorker who adores Italian cuisine, this establishment is one of those special finds…read morefor a newbie to NC. The food here is almost better than most of the Italian spots I'm accustomed to in Brooklyn. I ordered the chicken parm hero and meatball parm hero. Both were excellent! The sauce was freshly made with simple ingredients that were clearly high quality. The bread was crispy and warm authentically Italian (covered in sesame seeds the way I love) Best of all they have a small "Mercato" with carefully selected items imported from Italy. I was surprised and excited to find some of my favorite Italian cookies, breadsticks and chocolates. They even carry Italian beverages & wine. But best of all they have several prepared frozen meals like Lasagna, eggplant Parmesan and other favorites. They also had sauces and cheeses and pasta. The pastry case was filed with Italian staples like cannolis. If you're looking for a purveyor of authentic Italian items in Concord, this is definitely the spot! They have a nice outdoor dining area and a small area inside as well.

Have been going here for years -- a quick, reliable, good meal. Don't know what happened to…read moreW.A.B., but my visit today was horrific. The dining room was not full, so we placed our order (at 6:25pm). Drinks, which used to be filled and provided immediately, took 10 minutes and a visit to the counter. After waiting 25 minutes for a couple burgers, fries, a chuckwagon & kids meal, I went back to the counter to inquire about the delay -- and was told, without apology, there was a 30-minute delay right now. Of course, no one TOLD us about the wait when we ordered! (FAIL!). Finally, our number was called a full 35 minutes from when we ordered, again without apology. There were MANY other customers there who experienced the same and were NOT happy campers. There were plenty of workers behind the counter, but something is definitely wrong when a fast-food burger joint cannot turn around an order more quickly than this...

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.

It would have been better if they were flexible in making what she really came for.
