The crunch of the vanilla wafers added a lot of nice texture to the pudding dish. I don't normally like banana pudding, but this was good. We also decided to order the banana pudding with vanilla wafers and whipped cream. The whiskey sauce had a great sweet kick to it. This was a great blend of apple pie and bread pudding. First we got the Apple Bread Pudding with a whiskey sauce and vanilla ice cream, which our server said she loved "even more than her mama's." Somehow, even after all the BBQ we had a bit of room for dessert - when in Rome, I suppose. Also, while I laughed at the bread when it came out, I totally used it to soak up the mixture of sauces at the end. These were a lot of fun to taste and offered a variety of flavors for each part of the plate.
Mac's offers their own variety of sauces the represent different BBQ styles throughout the South. The brisket had a really great char on it and an amazing smokey flavor. The BBQ was delicious - such a great treat! My favorite was the brisket and the pulled port - so yummy. The three of us ate most everything on that plate. For some reason they also thought we needed some toast.

For sides we chose some mac n' cheese, onion rings (obviously, a theme for the weekend), collard greens (needed some color), and cheddar grits. The following pictures are of all the different angles to make sure I got everything! The three of us feasted on hand pulled pork, beer can chicken, St. I actually laughed out loud when the plate came because there was so much food on it. Honestly, we did not have to look too hard because my brother suggested we order what is called "The Whole Lotta Stuff." Basically, you select 4 of 5 different meats and 4 sides - its was perfect for those of us who really want to taste a bit of everything. While there were a lot of tempting things on the menu, including a great fried chicken special that our server said was her all-time favorite, we were there for BBQ. Nick and I stuck with the diet cokes, but my brother basically got a road soda of bud light - pretty impressive that you can get those somewhere outside a gas station. Paddy's Day-sized hangovers! If "hair of the dog" is more your style than this is the place to come, with more than 50, and probably closer to 100, beers to choose from, there is one to match whatever will help you the most.Ĭoolers to the left filled with all sorts of beer That quote basically sums the place up, which was the perfect spot for a great plate of BBQ to cure our St.
Quote reads, "where bikers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies who are praying that they'll get out of here alive."
Add bikes to that and you have Mac's motto. We walked in and were greeted with a what you always thought a Southern BBQ place should look like: plenty of beers and BBQ. Also, there were loads of picnic benches in the front with people eating away and a fence that hid the table tops, but I trusted my brother. Seriously - there was a carport 30 yards long with motorcycles under the entire thing. When we pulled into the parking lot of Mac's I really wondered if were in the right place because it basically looked like a pretty nice garage. While completely different from our great Friday night dinner at Cowfish, it was really fitting considering we were south of the Mason-Dixon line, and Nick's only request for our brief vacation. On our last day in Charlotte, in order to help us recover from the previous day's festivities as well as indulge in some southern fare (its only right, after all) my brother took us to Mac's Speed Shop.
