Looking for BBQ restaurants that have a local restaurant following in Charlotte? Well, you’ve found it! How did we start?  As far back as they can remember Ryan, Jim and their dad, Namon, have dreamed of opening a restaurant. Through the years, any time a great family recipe came to them they put it aside hoping one day their dream would come true.  Ryan went on to run some of Charlotte’s most successful nightclubs and restaurants, while Jim concentrated on completing his Culinary degree and working for some of Charlotte’s successful restaurants.  While at a cookout, the three of them came up with a “perfect name” for their restaurant, McKoy’s Smokehouse and Saloon!  Jim has perfected the art of BBQ and the family recipes ever since.

After retiring from a successful career as a photographer, Namon decided now was the time to make his dream a reality. McKoy Register was known for his love of family, friends, good food and good times. He is the inspiration behind this concept. What makes McKoy’s Smokehouse & Saloon in Charlotte different from the competition is they strive to make all their guests feel at home. Whether it be biker or banker, everyone is treated as if they’re a guest at McKoy’s home.  Best barbecue in Charlotte Center City NC!  Swing by today for Good Times, Good Food and Good Friends.
