So I need to ask you something, Charlotte Yelpers. \n\nForgive me because I am from out of town, and I respect you all. But I know how serious you all take your barbecue. During my recent trip there, I had co-workers who took me to Mac's Speed Shop for what they told me was authentic Carolina barbecue. I loved it. I noticed that Mac's has 3 1/2 stars currently on Yelp, same as this place. \n\nCharllotte Yelpers, how can you tell me that this place is anywhere near as good as Mac's? \n\nYou see, I had one day to myself to get lunch. I decided to trust the Yelp app to find me another barbecue place. I saw this place was near me, and having never heard of it before being from Philadelphia, I assumed this would be another authentic place. And even though it had less reviews, I thought since it had the same level of stars as Mac's, I'd get some good barbecue that was at least as close as what they serve there. \n\nIt was about 5 minutes into sitting down here when I realized that I was sitting in the south's version of Famous Dave's. \n\nDon't get me wrong. I enjoyed the combo that I had. It wasn't bad at all. But come on. If you want authentic barbecue, you don't come here. I felt slightly let down. \n\nNow that I've had my \"What the hell are you thinking Charlotte\" rant, I'll say that for a chain restaurant, the food was pretty tasty, the service was very good, and I'd eat here again if I ever had the chance. Both the pulled pork and the chicken were decent if not spectacular. \n\nWell, maybe I won't eat here again if I'm in the area with Mac's not too far away. But it was good enough if not the greatest.
