Recognizing the lack of scratch made kitchens in the Charlotte area, brothers Ryan and Jim Register, along with their father Namon, began to collect the families best recipes with the dream of one day opening their own restaurant. In 2006 the dream became a reality and McKoy's was opened. Combining the family recipes with the freshest locally sourced meats and vegetables has made McKoy's a South Charlotte tradition for over a decade.
