“First timers and we love this place! Terrence was terrific, helpful and efficient. The babyback ribs dry, my favorite!) were super tasty, and my husband loved the barbecue sandwich and bacon-wrapped jalapeños were delish! The fries, and desserts (banana pudding & pecan cobbler) were good, just weren’t at the same primo level as the barbecue. Still a great experience overall!”

They have only posted amazing picture and said great things about this place and I can confirm they’re on point with what they say. Charlotte needs a restaurant like Anju, bringing diversity, something new and executing delicious food and welcoming service! I treated myself to a solo dinner and it was exactly what I needed. David, my bartender, guided me through the menu with both food and beverages. We made great conversation and it was just a great experience overall. Anyone who enjoys good food and something new should definitely take the opportunity to come here!”

K Pot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot 8652 Pineville-Matthews Rd, Charlotte Korean • $$
8652 Pineville-Matthews Rd, Charlotte

“Went here with friends. This is a first-time experience for us. We had a great waitress who explained how to order and cook food at our table. We were told we could order as much as we wanted and have 2 hours to eat. Any wasted food we didn't consume we would be charged per pound. The food selection was the K pot meals and the BBQ. We could order from both menus but $5 would be extra for the BBQ. Some of the meats such as prime rib or lamb were sliced paper thin, as were the soft tofu, all cooked in less than a minute and were not satisfying. The steak and short ribs were a decent size and fairly tender. Vegetables took the longest time to cook and I suggest to cook them first before one cooks thicker foods. I tried the mushroom soup and didn't like it. But my dining mate ordered the spicey Thai Tom yum soup and liked it. The chicken bulgoki just ok. Overall some items we ordered were satisfying ,others not so much. There was a sauce bar which also had French fries and small fried chicken tenders, all average tasting. There are vegetarian and vegan choices for soups, vegetables and noodles. Plenty of Beef, chicken, seafood , soy and pork items to choose from. Although the restaurant is clean the loud pounding repetitive background instrumental music was not conductive for a relaxing meal. We were glad we experienced this type of dining but decided once was enough for us. It can be a bit overwhelming when raw items placed on a small table area are waiting to be cooked. I suggest get a few items, cook and eat and order more as you wish Our meal per person for both hot pot and BBQ, was $35 .”

Haven Jarman is gluten sensitive and then made certain her pizza was within her dietary parameters. And with ordering dessert, Jensen swiped all the ice cream and the managerwas so kind to give him his very own small scoop and refused payment!

Bar B Que is very subjective, and not all will like everyone of the places. The veggie plates were wonderful, and you got plenty to share. When I go to a smoke house, I tend to let the meat stand on its own. I did need bar b que sauce here. I'm not going to say don't go because I know a lot of people love this place. A little too overpriced for me.”

“For the price, I would love to be able to get more sauce if I run out…without getting in line and charging $.50 to my credit card…it just kinda lowers the experience below my expectations for a $30 dinner joint. The line is 5 deep with door dashers (because the food is awesome)…but I run out of tzatziki sauce and had to eat the rest of my meal dry… Yeah…minor complaint…but it is a poor end to a great meal that ends a little flat.Reply: I appreciate the owners response, and want you to know…the food is amazing, 5 stars…but the service is not 5 star when the meal ends without sauce…I would raise the prices by $.50 to cover the occasional need for sauce to keep the experience from ending on a low note.It’s just my opinion (everyone has one)…I’m still going to eat there, but will need to remember extra sauce when I order some items…lots of premium restaurants don’t nickel and dime for sauces…you are almost there…but the service misses by 1star.”

The duck empanadas weren’t a hit for us and one of the pasta wasn’t that great. The rib eye with the chimichurri and the duck breast was so good. The burrata appetizer was my favorite.

“Our first visit and it was well worth it!! We made a reservation not knowing if it was going to be busy. Glad we did as it was packed. We waited about 5 minutes for our table. We later found out that there was party that had over 20 people and that out them a bit behind. We were seated and promptly greeted by our server, Grayson. He was pleasant and cordial. We made our meal choices from an excellent offering. Our soups arrived quickly and they were delicious. Our entrees took a bit longer. Gave them a little leeway in this as I am sure the kitchen was a bit backed up when 20+ orders came in at once! When the food arrived, it was well worthy the wait. Both meals were excellent. The pasta was on point. I was told it was made on site. The chicken parmesan was tender and was not overly breaded.The service was great. Grayson kept our glasses full and was attentive. The food was delicious. The restaurant had a phenomenal atmosphere. Go here if you are looking for the next best thing to going to Italy for a meal!!”

“I've been going to DBB since it opened, and it's really cool to see the true community hub it's grown into. Service is always top notch across the board, and it's clear how committed they are to showcasing local artists & food vendors (their truck rotation is terrific). The NoDaHood markets they host every few months are always a blast.For their core offerings - the taproom & patio atmospheres are welcoming to everyone and really clean; they recently added some pinball machines to compliment all of the tabletop and board games.And last but certainly not least - the beer. They'll almost always have something for everyone; clean classics, fun sours, heavier dark beers, stuff that's barrel-aged, solid cocktails, wine, and n/a offerings that are tasty and open the place up even more to families.They do a little bit of everything and do it well. They're THE destination for me when I get to that part of the city.”

They couldn't figure out how to change the channel on the TVs, so we couldn't watch the games we wanted, and there were a bunch of children at the bar, which seemed weird (and difficult to get a seat). But I'd probably come back if I'm in town again”
