Looking over the menu for the first time I kept telling my wife "that sounds good" then only a moment later I would say it again then again. After careful consideration I went with the sample platter. Ribs, brisket, & pulled pork. Chose the cheesy cornbread with honey butter and the baked beans. It was large enough to split with my gal. She took less than I and she still couldn't finish it all. Loved every bit of the meats. A beautiful smoke ring on all of it. They know their business around the smoker. The cornbread was delicious but I didn't fully care for the baked beans. They were a bit tangy and lacked the smoked meat in them that I've come to expect. The prices were reasonable and the place was very clean. Will be back when we return to the area. Enjoy it.

We got there around 5:30pm on a weeknight and within a few minutes many other tables also seated. The waitress was super helpful explaining the items and telling us about the bakery downstairs that makes the buns and cornbread fresh. I was in a group of five women, the person that liked her food the most got the salmon. Several folks got burgers, one got chicken patty with fries, coleslaw, macaroni, cornbread,, and I got the bbq sampler. They had four homemade bbq sauce at the table, original, a mustard variety, a Carolina variety, and a bourbon sweet variety. None of them spicy, not a fan, at best used the original bbq sauce. The brisket was super tender and delicious, recommended. The pulled pork was a generous serving but a bit dry, needed the sauce, I took half mine home to eat later with more bbq sauce. I thought I ordered naked ribs but they came out blackened in a rub, I went ahead and tried them, a bit dry but okay. Would not get the dry rub again. Two of us got the cornbread loaf side, I thought it was okay with the honey butter, my friend thought it was way too dry. I ate about half and took it home with more of the honey butter. One person got the seasoned fries and shared them, they were okay, generous portion size, she was trying to eat them with mayo, was also drying with the powdered topping and very salty. We were on a dry theme with many dishes! Most people with burgers ate around their buns. Due to the sad selection of hot sauces and meh 2/3 items on sampler and average cornbread, leaning towards and average review. We had hiked all day at Shenandoah National Park and very hungry when we arrived but quickly flipped from enthusiastic to disappointed. Service was good, atmosphere was good, but didn't enjoy the food as much. Maybe eat there if nearby, good for quickly seating groups, lots of meat options.

It was a beautiful, warm summer day, and our stop at Charlotte's Kitchenette was the icing on the cake. At first glance, the building is unassuming, but don't let that fool you. We were greeted with genuine warmth the moment we stepped up to the window. Our order, 10 BBQ wings with mac and cheese, took a few minutes to prepare, and every minute was worth the wait. The food was clearly a labor of love. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and fully intend to stop by again the next time we're passing through. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to give this place a try. You won't regret it.

I appreciated the selection of local beers on draft too. Found prices to be very reasonable these days. Next, the sides are out of this world. The green beans and collard greens really compete with the best Grammy homemade ones. Mac and cheese, hush puppies, and chicken tenders were on point. I thought the portion sizes were good for $3 sides. I had the ahí tacos and a side of brisket. lol. I wanted to try the brisket! The tacos has a nice flavor with an excellent sauce but the tuna was unseasoned. The biggest issue is the taco sat in juices from the toppings and became soggy quickly. A little easier on the toppings and it would be a really good dish. The brisket. Man if you hype up your bbq it better be on point. It was not. Crazy crazy dry and not really tender either. I got the flavor they intended with the oak smoke but that was really poorly cooked brisket. If you can find a good main dish everything else is lined up for a great meal. Maybe make a meal of the sides? :)

Server (Brianna) started out good, fairly attentive until I got my food. After I got my food I got one cursory "all good?" and that was it until I got the bill. Anyway, on to the food: ordered two meat plate (brisket and pulled pork) with fries and coles slaw. Fries were the highlight of the meal. Hot, crispy, seasoned...awesome. Cole slaw was good....but it was super tangy (vinegary) for my taste. Don't get it wrong, it was good, just hard to eat all of it thanks to the tang. On to the meat. Got a pretty good sized pile of pulled pork and a couple slices of brisket. Both meats were lukewarm at best. Pork was dry (thank goodness for the NC vinegar sauce). The brisket made up for the porks dryness, it was extra greasy and extra fatty. Like, for real, do you think people are going to eat the fat layer between the lean point meat and the fatty upper meat? Yeah, not me. But since the brisket was also lukewarm (more like lukecold) it really didn't make a difference. I did think the Vision BBQ sauce tasted pretty good. If Brianna would have come back by after I got my meal I would have sent it back....and probably would have just left without worrying over a replacement, or a comp, or anything. Secondary issue: went to the mens room. It was just nasty. You get once shot to make an impression, and this one was not good. Would not/will not repeat.
