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.
