Drove here straight from the airport during my first visit to the Queen City.  Was not disappointed.  I asked for some West Coast style IPAs, and they offered some local options that were decently hoppy.  Sat at the bar and enjoyed meeting retired jocks from Chicago and Dallas.  I opted against the sampler plate and went for a full order of the ribs.  Definitely the way to go.  I really love the vinegar-based BBQ sauces in North Carolina.  Prices are a bit upscale, but the overall atmosphere is worth it.  I can understand the complaints on service, while not the case for me, I had to advocate for some other patrons getting ignored.  Would definitely go back when in town, and think y'all are lucky to have another BBQ option in Charlotte.
