  • Parking is tight around the historic storefront; weekdays are easier than Saturday rush.
  • Try the pork plain first, then add the house Carolina vinegar on your terms.

About this stop

Rockstore Bar-B-Q occupies the old Rock Store building on Old Monroe Road, a Union County landmark that now smokes Carolina pork, ribs, and chicken in a compact carryout-friendly room.

It is an east-metro alternative to Charlotte’s larger smokehouses when you want a small-shop pace and a building locals have known for generations.
