Holy @#$%!  Mac's Speed Who/What?\n\nSo THIS is what brisket is supposed to taste like! You needn't bother with the sauce on the side and be sure to get it fatty, fatty!\n\nDeeeeelicous hush-puppies but I wish they were either larger or at least got more of them. Maybe they'll substitute them for the pickled onions next time? The BBQ beans are more like a hybrid of Brunswick stew/chili and that's a good thing. This place might just have one of the best sweet teas (GREAT ICE!) in Charlotte, although I have to admit I was salivating at the thought of the nearby bar. Too bad it was lunchtime....\n\nIt's tough for me to give a place 5 stars on a first visit, but this one is well-deserved.\n\nThe price is a little steep for lunch but well worth it. Service was magnifico. I wish I had remembered the name of my waiter. Great guy and very knowledgeable. \n\nLots of room inside and out, but finding a parking spot can be a bear when it's crowded.\n\nCan't wait to go back!\n\nYour pal,\nWalter
