Mac's Speed Shop

"My favorite bbq place in Charlotte. Burnt ends are the best. Chopped brisket was good but not on the level of the burnt ends."

"Sometimes, you just want a good meal in the middle of the week so after reading great reviews about this place on a FB group called Charlotte Foodies, I decided to give it a try and my fiancee and I were not disappointed! Why 5 stars?? Let me share why!!❤️!! The moment we opened the door, we were welcomed by two nice employees, we were on a mission to try the nachos! Ambiance- not to loud, keep it that way please!! Food: sooooo good!! The pork rinds were hot and fresh, very good flavor. The nachos, my fiancee gives them 4/5 stars only because the tortillas are the bagged ones instead of actual fried tortilla chips and were kind of cold but the pulled pork was out of this world! I ordered the wings and I ate them so fast because they were the Best I have found so far (I am a chicken wings lover!!). Place was very clean, the waiter was present all the time and checking on us. Price is very reasonable, so that makes it easier on people because we know how expensive eating out has gotten and quality has decreased in many places. Not at this place. At least, in Matthews. We will be back❤️ ."

"We ate at this location on a Friday night about 6pm. It was full but not crowded and had some seats still available. There were mostly familys eating at this time. We were sitted right away without having to wait. The staff was friendly. Once we ordered, food came out quickly. The Food. Well, can't go wrong with this part. We ordered the smoked pulled-pork dinner. This comes with a large portion of pulled pork, texas toast, and two sides. Across the three of us we ordered the mac and cheese, fried okra, and fries. The Mac and Cheese was extremely delicious -- definately not box kit here. It was a large size serving. The pulled pork was cooked just right. What makes this restaurant have some of the better pulled pork in town is their sauces. if you have not tried these, you're missing out. Overall, this was a great experience. Pricing was right. Service was great. Food was awesome."

"I'm just adding on to a prior review. I was invited here for a belated birthday outing with some friends. We sat at the bar on the far end. We had a few beers and some cocktails, and our bartenders name was Lauren. Phenomenal bartender and the hostess with the mostest. Great personality, very engaging and attentive. We had Brisket Nachos, a Cuban, and a Smokehouse Dip, which I ordered as Lauren highly recommended this particular sandwich. It came with a nice healthy serving of smokehouse au jus, which I also used on my garlic, Parmesan mashed potatoes. All of the food and appetizers were very nicely done. The service(Lauren) and the vibe are exceptional in a laid-back relaxing atmosphere. Just a really great place to kick back, relax, and enjoy some really good food, appetizers, and beverages of your choosing. I'm meeting a colleague here as it is mutually accessible for both of us. I've been to the original location of Mac's Speed Shop on South Blvd on any number of occasions. They've done a phenomenal job of replicating that experience and vibe. We met in the middle of the afternoon on Friday, and they still managed to have a respectable turnout for that time of day. We split the pulled-pork nachos and had a beer(or 2) and a cocktail. The beer and cocktails were outstanding, as were the nachos. It's a very vibrant and lively atmosphere with plenty of seating and TV's available. Yet, you could actually have a nice conversation without being unnecessarily overwhelmed by the noise. The staff members were very pleasant, helpful, and friendly. Rachael (I believe) was the on-duty manager and was exceptionally kind when speaking with her. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, as were the restrooms and exterior of the building. I look forward to returning to this restaurant and any other restaurant that has Mac's Speed Shop on the building. If you took the time to read this review, please take a 1/2 second and click like.
