Amazing service at the bar. Healthy portion as i got a 4 meat combo (pig out) that was ~$50. Service staff was lovely. Visiting from out of town and they suggested other bars to stop by. They also had football on the TVs.

The brisket was on point. Ribs fell off the bone. Sausage had just enough cheese.

Would recommend!

My favorite restaurant. Cool vibes, great service, delicious food. I gave it 3 stars because they hire a predatory towing service that will boot your car ($275) if you eat there and then step next door to look at the menu at DTR. No recourse and no kindness by the towing agent. Beware

Absolutely blown out of the water. From the Midwest and this was some of the best food we had in Charolette while visiting. Our server, Mindy, was super kind, welcoming, and helpful! I never leave reviews but this place was awesome and had to share. :)
