“Desmond us an AMAZING bartender. The food and drinks are great, and price is right. Thanks for the AWESOME time!“

“Food was good, I want to try a few other things! The mac n cheese was SO good & the chicken tenders were great. The grilled chicken & steak in our salads were not amazing but it's the meat of a salad so not much to look for there.
Waiter was super nice & surprised our son with free dessert!“

“Their layout is maximized for seating but it feels cramped no matter where you sit. It's a good business decision to make it so people werent waiting long for open seating, it just takes away from the experience slightly.

Ribs are very good here. Steak wasn't the worst I've had but won't order one again. Overall it was fine“

“We dine here when we visit Charlotte on vacation. The last 3 times were excellent. This time the fourth time, was not satisfactory. My partner ordered a slab of ribs and more than half of the ribs was fatty. Also, a physical fight between two women and a man occurred by the front door. If we were still standing, waiting to be seated, we would be in the middle of the fight. Not the restaurant's fault, but ruined our dining experience.“

“Great food and always friendly+positive staff“

“Fresh food, locally sourced, large menu— can’t go wrong, everything’s delicious! Great for couples, families (kids). We’ve been several times and always had phenomenal service and a delicious meal (Bbq, wings, favorite starter’s *bacon wrapped jalapeños, and best coleslaw ever!“

“Just finished our first meal. It was delicious and we will definitely come back. Thank you Phoebe V. for great service and a great meal.“

“Absolutely delicious Thanksgiving dinner we ordered! Staff helped me load to my car and it was ready when I arrived. The Turkey was smoked and my whole family loved it. The sides were very delicious as well, a lot better than what you get at the grocery store. I loved the sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce the best. Tastes homemade and absolutely amazing!! Thank you!!“

“Good food 🥘 and a lovely environment“

“The bbq was fantastic 😊 our waitress was really really sweet her name is Mel . The manager was pretty amazing too . I give them ten stars it was way worth our drive and we will definitely be going back .“

“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.“

“Andy isn’t Korean What if lil uzi lost his hoodie Best Ching wings I always give good tip to Andy;)“

“Absolutely fantastic food and even better service. Taylor's takeover as GM blasted City Barbecue into the stratosphere. I love service that feels more like a casual meet with a new friend, rather than a clinical transaction; and Emily and Alex go above and beyond in this regard every time. I would do unholy things for a Smokehouse Salad with brisket, hardboiled egg tossed in, smothered in the house Chipotle Ranch and Brushfire sauce. Keep on rocking.“

“The ribs were great! Nice place! Staff helpful, fast, and polite. Our birthday bash had something for everyone, with all looking forward to next time. Highly recommend it snd will definitely return myself!“

“came in a few weeks ago and doug was my server! great server, friendly and on top of everything. food and service was so good came in a few days later and megan and elise were my bartenders and again, great service and great food!! highly recommend this place!!!“

“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!!!“

“Highly recommend. The brisket was perfect. Perfect cooking, texture, flavor!!!“

“We arranged for 100 Main Beef & BBQ to cater our housewarming party a couple of weeks ago and it was truly a nice and easy experience from start to finish. I worked with Amanda re: pricing and options and she was pleasant, flexible and quick to reply. Danny, her husband, delivered and set up the food for us and he was personable and friendly as well. Our guests enjoyed the food, as did we, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for fast, fun and friendly service and good eats!“

“This City Barbecue restaurant is so good. It's so hard to decide what to get on the menu because everything looks delicious. I wish we could get every single side. The barbecue sandwich was great and delicious 😋. My kids love it and ate everything. It's also quick when everyone is hungry. It's a good place to stop after soccer at the Matthews sportsplex. We loved the corn pudding and the hush puppies and the cornbread and the green beans with the bacon are so delicious. We're definitely coming back to this City Barbeque.“

“We had the pleasure of working with George at OooWee Barbeque for two large events, and I cannot speak highly enough of his service. From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to reach and quick to respond, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. We were operating on a tight schedule, and George accommodated every need without hesitation. Whether it was adjusting the menu, timing, or setup, he handled it all with professionalism and ease.

What truly sets George apart is his exceptional customer service. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our guests. His attention to detail and willingness to adapt to our needs made us feel confident that we were in great hands.

And then there's the food—absolutely incredible. Often, you expect either great service or great food, but George excels at both. The barbeque was out of this world, with flavors that impressed even the toughest critics at our events. I genuinely can’t say which was better: his top-notch customer service or the delicious food. Both were beyond what we expected, making our events a huge success. Please get the macaroni & cheese EVERYTIME!

If you're looking for a catering service that delivers on every level, OooWee Barbeque is it. Highly recommend!“

“We had a neighborhood event catered by K&N BBQ's food truck. Terry and Daphne were terrific to work with and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend them to friends and family.“

“I will be 💯💯💯 honest, I don't eat anything that has a sauce;however,the way those ribs and chicken was Falling off the bone...OMG that'll have you shouting ❣️❣️❣️“

“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.“

“Love the food here! BBQ is delicious and their sauces are amazing! My kids fight over the hushpuppies and potato wedges! Cornbread is also a family favorite!“

“Had Apostle Que BBQ tonight for the first time abs my husband and kiddos absolutely loved it!!! Great food for a great price!!!“

“Everything was amazing, from the food to the service. The waiters were always checking up on us and they switched the pot every time we asked. The meats are fresh (we ordered the beef bulgogi and brisket) and the sides are so flavorful. I really enjoyed the experience“

“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!“

“Food is Amazing. The VA owner is a great guy!“

“Best bar on Noda strip. Love the bartenders“

“I don’t usually leave reviews but the food we got Friday was so unbelievably delicious I had to. The ribs are smoked perfectly and the meat is so tender, falls off the bone and practically melts in your mouth. Their baked beans are so yummy and the potato salad! 💯 The potato salad is the closest to tasting like my Grandmas that I have ever been able to find. We will eagerly be waiting for the truck to be in Waxhaw again!!!!“

“Great service! Great food! Great prices! I’ve lived in the neighborhood since 2019 and decided to give it a try tonight. There is so much on the menu I am for sure going back for more! Great for a Friday night meal.“

“Delicious food with quality meat.“

“Ok I may be partial to this place because I found my tribe here that I have been searching for 2 years since I moved to Charlotte. But the staff is excellent, the food is amazing and the atmosphere.... Well let's just say you will fell like royalty here... The KINGDOM is worldwide baby!!!! GO CHIEFS!! 🏈

Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome fun and games!!?“

“Towne Tavern is our favorite local watering hole! The staff are super friendly and make the place, especially Amanda and Andie. The daily specials and bingo/music bingo give something fun to do. I work from home so getting out of the house for fun and hanging out with the locals is what it’s all about. We’ve been coming to the place for a while and think the food has been so much better under new management. Definitely check it out if you haven’t been!“

“This is the Cookout I have been going to for over a year and a half now. Most of the time, they get everything right. They are human and make mistakes sometimes, buy they do make it right if they forget something. It's always hot and fresh and its pretty cheap to feed full a grown man who eats a ton and myself for less than $25. The chicken ranch wraps could use a little more ranch in myopinion but I always put a little more on it when I get home. They can also give you a ranch cup to put on it. The quesadillas are pretty good too. Sweet tea is always delicious. Thank you for being the best cookout guys!“

“Best wings! Staff was so friendly!“
