This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to McKoy's Smokehouse & Saloon located right off of I-77 and Old Pineville Rd in south Charlotte.
This
smokehouse, with both indoor and outdoor seating, reminds me of what a local
BBQ joint should look like with wood interior, BBQ paraphernalia on the wall,
and loads of TV’s.
We chose to share the Living the Dream (LTD) platter, a combination of ribs, pork, pot roast, and
smoked BBQ chicken with sides of mac n’ cheese and fried okra. The St. Louis
style ribs were great, not fall off the bone as most BBQ restaurants serve, but with a
little pull after the bite like KCBS competition ribs. The smoked pot roast was different, something I've never eaten.

Dora here. While we were contemplating the menu, I remember commenting that I wished they offered a combo minus the pot roast. But, no matter. I gobbled the pot roast down first! :) And look at that crusty bark on the mac & cheese! Yummy! I'm really not a fan of okra, but their crispy vegies won me over. (Sorry, no pic.) Even with two of us eating off this plate, we still brought home a leftover container with enough meat to make a pot of chili. Sa-weet!
Have you tried smoked pot roast?

We rate this restaurant 4 forks out of 5 for a family
