Frankly, any Bar-B-Que restaurant that looks at you like they could kill you when you order a sandwich with the sauce on the side- Mac's- has something to hide. I have always thought that place was a spot for the Uptown Yuppies and the biker wannabes. For awesome Bar-B-Que in Charlotte, I go to Jim-N-Nick's in Concord( Jim-N-Nick's food was so good in B'ham that they were approached to have restaurants in other places just to be specific here)- they got the real deal pitmaster from the original restaurant at home and you can taste the hickory on the meat(no sauce needed)- AWESOME!!!! Lexington Bar-B-Que has great Q but why do they need slaw on top of the sandwich?

If you want the best ribs hit Memphis and if you want the best all around BBQ in the country you have to go to the hill country of Texas - especially the Salt Lick. If you haven't traveled and experienced BBQ in other areas of the country you have no idea what you are talking about and certainly in no position to call anything made around here "great".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046185673819980880.post-35488572110752755472012-08-09T16:19:01.776-04:002012-08-09T16:19:01.776-04:00Being married to a Lexington NC native, it's h...Being married to a Lexington NC native, it's hard for me to give 5-star marks to anything in Charlotte. Midwood and Mac's do have very good food. Their only problem is that they both try to be all things to all people by serving all types of meat and using all the popular sauces (although how anyone can swallow that utterly gross mustard-based mess is beyond me). I understand the goal - have a BBQ restaurant that people from Lexington, Eastern NC, SC, Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis and Dallas can all go to for a little bit of what they got back home. But what's the old saying - Jack of all trades, and master of none? <br /><br />I do like Mac's and Midwood, as they do a fairly decent replica of the vinegar-based pulled pork I get when I go see the in-laws. <br /><br />What I really want to see on Travel Channel is a 1-hour show that visits only 2 Lexington joints - Lexington #1 and Jimmy's, or as I call them, BBQ Nirvana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046185673819980880.post-44744236046159404682012-08-09T16:08:42.676-04:002012-08-09T16:08:42.676-04:00Just stating a fact.
