Was in town a few years ago on a work trip and was told I HAD to check out Sauceman's for Charlotte BBQ. Went with the standard brisket and pulled pork with the BBQ beans and fried corn and, because it was a surprise, the hush puppies. Everything was outstanding! Coming from West Texas, I like to think I've got a good gauge on BBQ and Sauceman's rated among the best I've tasted. Every element was great, the proteins carried outstanding smoke flavors and the textures were spot on. The sides were all among the best I've ever had. The fired corn was delicious and the texture was an added bonus, genius! The hush puppies and beans were spot on, texturally and with the flavors. I could not have been more happy with my Charlotte BQ experience on my day trip into the city.

They made some subtle changes since I was here last, but they made a huge difference. I would now rank this as my second favorite BBQ in Charlotte (Midwood Smokehouse being first). It’s way better than Mac’s Speedshop now. The decor of the restaurant changed a little and it’s really well done now. There’s a lot of wood incorporated and a garage door leading out to the patio. They added sauce options so now you have the choice between vinegar, mustard, and smokey bbq sauces. The vinegar and mustard were my favorite, but the smokey was also good. They also have complimentary pork skins now which were very good.
We got the South End Combo with pulled pork, brisket, chicken, mac and cheese, and baked beans. I think the brisket was the best I’ve ever had. It had a really tastey char around the edge. The pulled pork was also very good. The chicken was my least favorite. The outside was good (a little spicy), but the inside was a little dry. The hush puppies are now my favorite in Charlotte (since Mac’s change their recipe). We finished up with the sugar biscuits which were very good - light, sugar coated, donut like balls.
This is a must try restaurant in Charlotte that I highly recommend!
A great spot for lunch, all the food an sides were amazing. I really enjoyed the 3 different sauces they had to offer, the mustard sauce was my favorite. I would make sure to hit this place for lunch if you're in the area.
Yaaaass! Finally! BBQ we can recommend! Lost a few points, being out of brisket & sausage but my family was satisfied & all the fingers were licked. We'll be back!
Easy to find, nice and clean. Music was ok but needs more variety. Brisket was great sauce variety was good. Chicken is tender and delicious. Alittle to much spice on chicken. Ribs ok, I must of had a end piece, but it was good. The sides were great potatoe salad, collard greens, mac-n-cheese . Ooh I forgot about the pull pork nice. Overall it was a good idea to stop by the Sauceman's. 😁
What’s not to love about a bbq joint that uses ghost peppers and calls their signature sauce “Love and Smoke”. Smoke, spice, free cracklings and local drafts. Nice. Can’t believe it took me 12 years to check this out. (Cool new deck too!)
Delicious food, had enough to bring home to reheat for lunch the next day. Tasted even better the next day.
My first visit here. Very impressed. BBQ chicken was awesome, moist, tender and smoky with a spicy rub and tomato based BBQ sauce. The BBQ pork was good even though I like mine a bit smokier. Fair local beer draft selection could be expanded...good iced tea! Comfortable casual atmosphere and clean. Even though it was counter-service, the staff checked on us often to verify all was good. Cardboard carry out boxes (I hate styrofoam). We will return.
The brisket salad was so good!! My friend got the lemon pepper wings and loved them too. The service was quick and friendly. They have local beers on tap and a welcoming patio. Can't wait to go back or pick up tailgating food before a game!
I've been there a few times while visiting my grandparents. It's amazing. Best BBQ I've ever had. I get the wings and they're great nice and crispy with great sauce too. I've tried their brisket before and I almost died it was so good. Must eat there.
Great BBQ! They have free pork rinds while you wait for your food. Brisket and Ribs were especially good. If you get the sampler for 2, make sure you have at least 3 people to share it with because there's no way two people could eat all that delicious BBQ and still go about their day.
If you love BBQ and you're in the Charlotte area, this is the place to go. They have won numerous awards for their BBQ and house made sauces, and as soon as you taste it, you will know why. The staff is phenomenal, the prices are affordable and the cuisine is some of the best the Queen City has to offer.
I really like this place. I usually get the pulled pork or the brisket. The pulled pork platter is pretty big... Easily enough to take some home. Hush puppies are addictive! The staff are very helpful and go the extra mile to keep the customers happy.
I love trying different BBQ places and it may be my favorite cheaper food. This was a classic spot the hit all my BBQ needs. Tender ribs, fatty brisket, creamy mac. The best part by far was when a cook came out and asked us how are meal was and our favorite. I mentioned the brisket, especially where the burnt ends and fat were. He brought us out an extra serving of perfect burnt end style brisket. Screw Flanders!
Well known location for excellent BBQ. Never had anything that was delicious here, and the brisket brought on nostalgia from Texas. Top choice for catering as well. If the weather is fine, the outdoor seating can't be beat.
