Midwood Smokehouse

This restaurant topped every bad restaurant we tried on our visit to Charlotte this weekend for the Kendrick concert. The food was EXCELLENT! The service was even better! Our server Reese was on point, extremely professional, and overall just a great server! The manger Dustin was very personable and even offered us a free dessert that was truly delectable! I would strongly recommend them over and over! I wish I could give them 10 stars! Thank you to the staff for helping our food journey in Charlotte not be so bleak! Lol

Overall a very nice place for some BBQ. Would strongly recommend the brisket as it was moist and lean! It was really really good! As for the sides nothing crazy would recommend some different sides. But man the banana pudding, was sweet and a delicious dessert!

I appreciated that people were waiting to get seated at Midwood. That let me know that the BBQ was going to be good. The wait was not long (~20 mins) on July 4th. The staff provided recommendations if you are trying to figure out what to eat. The food service is pretty quick too. I ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers! The cornbread was flavorful and seasoned (8.5/10). The wings were delicious (9/10). I recommend getting the crispy (fried) wings. Lastly, the nachos were a hit too (7.5/10). The portion sizes were great for sharing.

Midwood Smokehouse really delivers if you’re craving barbecue. The ribs had a perfect smoky bark and came off the bone just right. The pulled pork was tender and full of flavor without being covered up in sauce. The sides were just as good with collard greens that had a nice tang, hush puppies that were crisp on the outside and soft inside, and beans that were hearty and rich. The sauces were fun to try but the meat stood on its own. They also have a great beer selection which makes it an even better spot to hang out. Portions are generous, the service is friendly, and it all feels like classic barbecue done right. I’ll definitely be back.

First time at an American barbecue so we got one of the barbecue platters and it was nothing short of delicious. The burnt ends were my favourite by a longshot - so good! The ribs were definitely a close second, and just as good. I usually have low expectations for smoked ribs Midwood outdid themselves. The brisket was really good and the only thing I'd say was mid was the chicken. Felt like it was a little undercooked for my liking. Highly recommend this place!

When a place is this crowded on Saturday afternoon, you know it’s gonna be good! Portion size is huge! Prices are reasonable and this staff is amazing! Ask for Avery. Definitely get the pimento cheese fries! Out of this world good. With brisket or BBQ it’s enough for a meal.

They take their BBQ seriously (and it shows) at Midwood Smokehouse. I thought I knew good BBQ before.... The Midwood experience is akin to an epiphany for me. EVERYTHING was exceptional! The corn bread, wings, bacon wrapped jalapenos, smoked meatballs all outstanding. The "pig-out" offering of with brisket, burnt ends, chopped pork and ribs is a tour de force! The collard greens & hush puppies are addictive. The warm and friendly service as good as food! Reasonably priced high quality food and impeccable service is rarity these days. Highly recommend.

This was a date night for us. The waitress and managers were extremely attentive and they checked in for food and service quality. The BBQ was delicious but the sauce was weak. I also come from a family of home made BBQ so don’t take my head off. I still enjoyed my visit and plan to return but I’m bringing my own sauce!
