Best BBQ in NC located right here in Charlotte

I watched Pitmaster Championship and they had people from all over but Sauceman's BBQ won it.

I took my wife yesterday to Souceman's and it's indeed the best BBQ I have ever tested. Anyone had the opportunity to eat there yet?

Bridges in Shelby has always been my preference.  Don't live in NC anymore but I'll have to hunt that down when I'm back for turkeyday

Bridges on 74? Or Alston Bridges BBQ?

[Panthro]

That's questionable. I've had two not so great experiences with them.

I work equidistant from McCoys, Macs, and Sauce man's and prefer McCoys at the present

I am no BBQ snob and will eat just about anything, but both the wife and I left McCoy's beyond disappointed given all the hype.

The best BBQ is Eastern NC style. I can eat western style. But eastern style is the best, period. 

 

There's not any good bbq spots in the Charlotte area and everyone knows this who understands good Q. Sauceman's is probably the best but that's not saying much.

My parents ate there last week and brought me leftovers. Nothing special. The slaw is tomato based. Yuck. The bbq tasted like it was oven baked.

Depends on which Bridges it was from, there's two in Shelby. Also, for Charlotte bbq:

Bar-b-Que King im Charlotte is top notch.

Yeah, I don't know which one it was. But it wasn't very good. What kind of moron uses ketchup as a base for slaw?

Most North Carolina bbq restaurants use ketchup as a base for slaw. It's not very rare. It's called "BBQ slaw" or "red slaw".

that was the first time I have ever had it and had ever seen it. I like vinegar based slaw and mayo based slaw isn't bad. I lived in Greenville NC for college and never saw it there either and they have some banging bbq spots.

I've never had ketchup slaw. Anywhere.

I'm around 30 years old and I've never seen it anywhere ever. Lived in this state my entire life.

On a side note, Sweet and Savory at Wrightsville beach puts blue cheese, Texas Pete, and scotch bonnet peppers in their slaw. It is truly the poo.
