Noble Smoke fans will have another spot to pick up a Chopped Cheshire Pork Sandwich or Smoked Turkey Breast this weekend. The Noble Smoke stall at Optimist Hall is opening the week of Monday, March 7.

Noble Smoke will start out in the new location with in-person orders only, but online ordering will be available within a few weeks.

The menu will features Noble Smoke’s signature hickory-smoked meats, including Chopped Cheshire Pork, Sliced Creekstone Farms Brisket, and Smoked Turkey Breast. Each will be available by the 1/4 pound, half pound, 1 pound, or in a sandwich on a Copain bun.

Savory sides will include Zack’s Collards, Mac & Cheese, Potato Salad, Red Slaw and more.. Rotating flavors of Hand Fry Pies will be on hand for dessert.

“As Charlotte’s only 24/7 smokehouse, guests will enjoy high quality barbecue fresh off from our eight custom-built smokers and barbecue pits,” Optimist Hall executive chef Zack Renner said. “We look forward to meeting new friends and fellow barbecue connoisseurs in this new location.”

Customers will find the stall between Pet Wants and Xiao Bao. The barbecue restaurant will be the 26th tenant at Optimist Hall, where Enat Ethiopian is expected to open later this year. (Check out our updated guide to Optimist Hall to see the variety of food stalls available.)
