This family-owned barbecue joint is nothing fancy to look at, inside or out, but customers have been packing in for quality lunches of down-home 'cue since 1963. Until his death in 2007, at age 78, Bill Spoon himself greeted guests at the door. His Southern hospitality lives on, though. Hushpuppy baskets and tall glasses of sweet tea are kept full, and pork is prepared Eastern Carolina-style (the whole pig, with a vinegar-based sauce). Whether you're there for a small or large plate, a sandwich or a combo, the meat is seasoned enough as is, though the house hot sauce is worth sampling if you like more zing. No alcohol available. Serving lunch Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Barbecue in the 2007 Charlotte Observer critics' poll.

Charlotte's a culinary-rich and diverse city, from fried chicken to fried lobster tails, and shrimp and grits to Eastern Carolina-style barbecue – meaning the whole hog, with a vinegar-based sauce.
