Sweet Lew’s is the answer to a question that’s plagued Charlotte: Where can you go around here for a real North Carolina barbecue experience?
Close to Uptown, in the east Charlotte blue-collar neighborhood of Belmont, Lewis Donald & Laura Furman Grice have flipped an old service station into a no-frills, go-tell-yo-mama, smoke shack;

BBQ was good but a little fatty. Baked beans actually 3 different types of beans. Mac and cheese was real good. Collars we're ok but we're cooked with meat and Had too many stems in it for me. Corn bread was real good. Overall, cooked a little differently than what I was use to. More...

Here on business travel and went here after reading a bunch of glowing reviews. I got the turkey and pork along with their red slaw, beans, and collards. Everything was excellent. Turkey was still moist with a nice smoke ring, collards were awesome. And the service was friendly and exceptional. I’ll definitely be telling my colleagues about Lew’s! More...
