Recognizing the lack of scratch-made kitchens in the Charlotte area, brothers Ryan and Jim Register, along with their father Namon, began to collect the family's best scratch-made recipes with the dream of one day opening their own restaurant.
In 2006, the dream became a reality when McKoy's Smokehouse and Saloon opened its doors. Combining the family recipes with the freshest locally sourced meats and vegetables has made McKoy's a South Charlotte tradition for over a decade. Come visit us!
