While on a fast Charlotte run, we found this converted gas station eatery on Google. The entire neighborhood smelled heavenly, as the smoker was working hard. We split the Sampler plate with collards and Brunswick Stew. It contained 2 ribs, beautifully charred beef brisket, and a generous amount of pork, which the server chops in front of you on a wooden board. Straight smoked meat, add any of their 4 sauces if desired. Being from SC, the mustard sauce was really good. Eat outside on the covered patio and enjoy the fall weather. Very friendly staff.

If you love the local, uncommercialized, real backyard BBQ, this is the place. The staff made me feel at home. The food was amazing - fall off the bone ribs, the brisket (my favorite) was tender and delicious. Everything was full of flavor - the collards, the green beans, everything! I felt like I was a kid again and at a large family gathering with pitmasters working their craft. I hope you enjoy as I did.
Decent BBQ! The sausage was really good and pork sandwich wasn't exceptional but was one of the better pork sandwiches I've had in Charlotte.
Plenty of food and sides were good.
It was good BBQ but not my favorite. The baked beans were like a sweet, chili flavor. The Mac n cheese was basic. My husband really like the sausage and the hash over rice. He felt it was unique from what he could get at other places.
The Sweet tea was so good. The potato salad was great as well as the hushpuppies were amazing to. The brisket and wings were really good. The chopped pork and ribs looked good but were tasteless. They must have good sausage because they were out.
Sweet Lew’s is one of my go-to BBQ spot. The brisket is always great! All of the BBQ meat we’ve had from here has been delicious. The only downside is the Mac & Cheese could use some love.
We are from out of state and came to Sweet Lewis for dinner to take to our air b&b. Kamari and Angie were so helpful and friendly! The food we got was delicious! You should give them a try. I loved the sausage and the pulled pork. Collard greens were also very tasty! Super potato salad. Actually, nothing was less than delicious!
We got here at 11:30 on a Friday afternoon, place was packed within 5 minutes. They have a good size parking lot and plenty of nearby parking. Staff was helpful and gave me options of adding entrees as a side when I couldn't make up my mind. The food prep time is very quick, appeared to all be pre-made and served cafeteria style. The ribs were smoky and flavorful, tons of meat and no sauce needed. Very impressed with the flavor of the chopped pork as well. The collard greens were perfect and not soggy, and the mac-n-cheese was delicious. Perfect boiled peanuts! They have sauces, which I personally like because of the vinegar base taste, but the meat was so good you don't need any sauce. They have a good selection of local beers and a medium size indoor dining room with a large outdoor uncovered patio. Go hungry, huge portions. We'll definitely be back!
Incredible bbq! I got the NC Pork plate with the baked beans and collard greens and everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Seth and Keah were so friendly and kind. Definitely gotta check this place out if you’re near Charlotte!
