Veterans Day is Friday, November 11th, and it's a day to show our gratitude for the service of so many dedicated men and women in the U.S. military. Some local restaurants will be offering free meals to veterans on that day, including the restaurants of Mac's Hospitality Group.

According to WCNC-TV, veterans are invited to enjoy free meals at all Mac’s Speed Shop locations on Veterans Day. At Mac’s Speed Shop, veterans will be treated to a Free Lil Pig, hickory-smoked, pulled-pork BBQ sandwich, with their choice of one side, including mac & cheese, cheddar grits, fried okra, or collard greens.

Mac's Hospitality Group also owns and operates the taqueria SouthBound, next door to Mac's South Boulevard location in Charlotte. Each veteran can get two free Carnitas Tacos and a side of rice and beans there on Veterans Day.

The offer is good on dine-in orders only on Friday, November 11th. Just show your Veteran ID Card and purchase one beverage to get the deal. You can find all nine Mac’s Speed Shop locations here. For information on SouthBound, click here.

The 15 Best Charlotte North Carolina BBQ Restaurants

Here in North Carolina, we love our barbeque. And we do it well if I may so so myself. There is no shortage of fantastic restaurants across the state and the Queen City is no exception to that. But if you only can eat at one which should you choose? While I have my favorite (and it didn't make this list near the top), I decided to turn to the public for their thoughts on the matter. A quick search on TripAdvisor led me to a list of 30 Charlotte BBQ restaurants. It included chains, multiple locations of some, the heavy hitters, and some I hadn't heard of before. For this list, I took the top 15 restaurants (combining anywhere that had multiple locations).

Trip Advisor compiles these rankings based on average rating and number of reviews. Therefore you will see a couple of places that are ranked higher with a slightly lower rating. This means they probably had a higher number of higher-rated reviews. I have to say for the most part I do agree with this list the top 3 didn't surprise me at all and I feel could have been ranked in any order. What's your favorite of the many Charlotte BBQ restaurants?
