“Sweet Lew's did not disappoint. While visiting my BFF, I decided this trip I wanted N.C Barbecue. After searching & comparing reviews we decided to try Sweet Lew's and it did not disappoint. We both had "The Sampler." I'm not a beef eater. Although, I found the brisket a tad bit dry, when drizzled with Sweet Lew's Brisket Sauce it made it enjoyable. The ribs were juicy and cooked to perfection. I tried my friends Red Coleslaw, not knowing what to expect, was the bomb. The meat was dry-rubbed with sides of Barbecue Sauce, which were vinegar base, but not overwhelming so. Overall, we really enjoyed our meals, so much that I purchased a chicken dinner to go for the next day and look forward to returning.“

“Let's start off with the greeting from the hostess. She was very welcoming with a great personality. I believe our waitress said she was her Manager. Our waitress Marissa is one of the best waitresses I have come across. From the time we sat down until we left. Her customer service was 10/10. She engaged with my six year old daughter. Even when she was being extra talkative. She still engaged with her every time. To the point where my daughter loved talking to her every time she came to the table and walked by. She laughed and joked with her. Her conversations with my mom and I were super genuine. She took our order in a timely manner. She gave us updates while waiting for our meal. She checked on us throughout our meal. Gave us our drink refills in a timely manner. We didn't have to ask her for anything or wave her down. She was on top of it. She has the perfect personality and pays attention to her customer's. I also observed that she was the same with other customer's as well. She has the charisma to Intertwine and comfortability to talk to customer's and not at them. She cares about her customer's. She's an asset to your team. Not only will customers want to come back for your AMAZING FOOD, but for great customer service. Marissa thanks so much! From your new friends from Fayetteville.“

“1st timers so Jay recommended the sampler like platter and the flavors were very good. We loved that she walked us through the menu and had recommendations based on our tastes. The fried pickles were great - that breading wins. She kept our drinks full and checked in regularly. Very satisfied couple“

“So glad I found this place on our travels. Delicious food and friendly service. McKayla and Tony were wonderful!“

“I only got curbside takeout tonight but it was amazing as always. I ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches w/ coleslaw and vinegar based-Eastern NC BBQ sauce. The potato salad here is amazing. Not sure what is in it but I have loved potato salad since I was a youngbuck and this is some of the best I have ever had. My girlfriend got a 3 side plate w/ green beans, fried okra, and cornbread. She loved it. She also got the peach cobbler and thought it was amazing. I highly-highly recommend trying City Barbecue if you are thinking about trying a new place. I will absolutely be back. I live less than a minute from the location I go to.“

“Maya’s was fantastic as our server! We had never been before and she made the experience more than amazing! The entire meal was fantastic, fresh meats, seafood and vegetables. Delicious broth for th pots. Definitely worth the money and we will most definitely be back again! Also thanks for the birthday dessert and the fun (yet embarrassing song)😂“

“The food was great, and the service was also great! I will definitely be returning with more people. The atmosphere is also nice and the people are very helpfull and friendly!“

“The food and service at Improper Pig in Plaza Midwood is great. Traci is wonderful! I love the outdoor space. I’ll be back.“

“If heaven had a smokehouse, it would definitely be Mac’s Speed Shop. First of all, the brisket? So tender I’m convinced it went to therapy and resolved all its issues before hitting the plate. The ribs? Fell off the bone like they were tired of working. And don’t get me started on the mac and cheese—it’s so good I almost proposed to it. I highly recommend checking out Mac’s Speed Shop.“

“Omg, food is AMAZING! I’m vegan and this is by far the best vegan food I’ve had in a long time from a restaurant. The owner/chef came out to bring me my food and she is so sweet. It made me happy to experience her and her food. She has gained a forever customer and I wish nothing but the best for her and her business.“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“

She was thoughtful, friendly & very knowledgeable & sweet. She exemplifies how to treat customers. I was impressed, my meal was good & I was able to get dessert. Keep shining Cassidy ✨ 💛 💖“

“The best KBBQ spot in town. I went a few month ago but they were closed temporarily because of a kitchen fire. Can’t wait for them to reopen!“

“My co-workers and I were passing through on a business trip and we were hungry for BBQ. The lady who took our order was very friendly. Food was fantastic and got samples of the meat we didn't order to try. I got a piece of German Chocolate cake for later in the hotel and it was as good as our food was. Highly recommend Bobee O's if you are in the area.“

“they are good food and I love the way they cook“

“This place is hands down the best Korean BBQ place in Charlotte. If you want a server who is knowledgeable and cares about his patrons, Amadeo, is your guy. He helped picked out our menu and had wonderful recommendations. He made small talk at our table and we will be back because of his wonderful professionalism and manners. We look forward to coming back.“
