From my view, this is one of the best barbeque restaurants in North Carolina!…read more This was the second time I visited this particular location (out of currently 5 location), and it did not disappoint.  This is a North Carolina-based chain offering a diverse menu including pork, chicken and turkey in addition to all the side items you can possibly think. My wife and I went for the chicken wings, the chicken thighs and the turkey with hush puppies, sweet potato casserole, coleslaw and the barbeque beans. Everything was delicious! We walked in for dinner, and the service was excellent, and we did not have to wait at all for a table.  This particular location is accessible and it has its own free parking lot with plenty of spaces.   Overall, 100% recommended.

Sweet potato - tastes like a sweet potatoes pie without the crust, but with walnuts added. BBQ beans - baked beans need meat..... remember that. There was also a succulent taste of Sweet bbq sauce mixed in. Hush puppies - eat them while they are hot. Reminds me of sweet cornbread bread that has been fried. I had the Chopped pork with vintage sauce. Thumbs up. The Chopped brisket with vinegar sauce was good. I liked it better when I added a spicy BBQ sauce to it. The Ribs, the ribs, the ribs..... tender to the bite and passed the fall off bones test. The meat had a Smokey flavor but was in desperate need of BBQ sauce. That's it ...... that's the post. #GratuityAdded #MonroeEats #IndianTrailEats #UnionCounty #CLTMuckbang #charlottesgotalot #clteats #foodiesofclt #cltfoodies #GoldenBulls #exploreclt #eatdrinkclt #charlottefood #WholeHogCLT #Eclipse24 #ExploreIndianTrail #cltfoodie #CLTBBQ #keeppounding #charlotteeats #ASMRFood #eatdrinkclt #TickleMeRibs #charlottefoodscene #cltfoodbloggers #springtime #charlottefoodies #cltagenda

Visiting our daughter at Wingate and she recommended the restaurant. Parking was interesting and…read moretook us a bit to finally find a spot. It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.

The seafood was cooked to perfection and was delivered promptly. Three things I would recommend to improve on: paper towels instead of napkins; make the fried calamari starter a larger portion; and make sure people eating crabs have the necessary tools when the meal is served. Overall this place was pretty awesome for an in-land seafood restaurant. Better than most at the seashore!! Highly recommend trying Shake Shake Seafood in Monroe. I know we will be!!

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would, but unfortunately, the lowest option is one…read more I came in on Saturday and ordered a lobster combo to go. When I got home, I noticed there was a foreign object in my food that absolutely should not have been there. I wasn't able to call Saturday because it was too late, and I had to work all day Sunday. I called Monday to report the issue and give the restaurant an opportunity to address it. I spoke with the general manager, Tan, and his response was extremely disappointing. He was very defensive, aggressive, and downright rude. Instead of listening to my concern, he questioned me by saying, "Why are you just now calling me?" and "Why are you calling me out of the blue?" The fact remains that regardless of when I called, there was a foreign object in my food that should not have been there. The timing of my call does not change what happened or make the issue any less concerning. I called when I was able to, and I should have been able to report my experience without being treated disrespectfully. I was calmly explaining what happened, yet he repeatedly told me to "calm down," as if I were the one being aggressive or unreasonable. I was not calling to argue or cause a problem. I was simply trying to make the restaurant aware of a serious issue with my order. What made the situation even worse was the attitude I received from management. Rather than taking the complaint seriously and addressing the food-safety concern, I felt like I was being treated as though I had done something wrong by calling. I did not ask for the foreign object or the additional ingredient that was found in my food, and it should not have been there in the first place. After this experience, I will not be spending my money at this restaurant again. I am also considering contacting the local health department regarding what I found in my food because this is a concern that should be taken seriously. Customers should be able to report legitimate concerns without being met with defensiveness, aggression, or disrespect. The facts remain the same regardless of when I called: there was something in my food that should not have been there, and the way management handled my complaint was completely unacceptable.

Now this is my kinda place! Came in recently with a buddy after finishing up a round of golf. We…read morewere starving and this place came highly recommended online so we popped on over. Classic family diner that apparently has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations now which is great to see. We came at an irregular lunch hour so it wasn't too busy which is lucky because I've heard this place can bring a crowd. It's not hard to see why! The two workers were super friendly and sweet and we enjoyed chatting with them. I elected to go with a cheeseburger and a chili cheese hot dog. Both were exactly what I needed especially the hot dog, I'm still thinking about that chili. Our meal was incomplete though. It still needed desert. I haven't had a milkshake in a long time but being in here made me nostalgic so I had to grab one to go! I got a Reese's shake just like I used to get as a kid and boy did I not realize how much I missed them. That's the kind of place this is. It has a wholesome and timeless quality to it that takes you back to a simpler time. It's not fancy or dressed up, just quality food made by quality people. I wish I lived closer but I know I will make it back.

WATER & BATHROOM…read more Mac's promotes itself as a community-minded restaurant, but I am very disappointed they continue to not serve complimentary drinking water and it is not available--even when purchasing a meal. A simple glass of water is a basic customer courtesy, especially for children, seniors, and people with medical needs. If water is no longer provided, what's NEXT --charging customers to use the RESTROOM? Community values should be reflected not only through fundraisers and public events, but also in how every customer is treated at the table. I sincerely hope Mac's reconsiders this policy. Thanks , Long Time Customer
