"Barbecue joints tend to be boisterous and fun-loving, and Midwood Smokehouse is no exception. The restaurant, a great choice for families or large groups of friends, has a casual vibe, which comes in handy—you'll want to leave that white dress shirt at home. The menu is packed with barbecue classics, including pimiento cheese fries, burnt ends, Carolina pork, and fried chicken sandwiches. You may scratch your head, though, when you see tacos on the menu, but they're definitely worth ordering. Don't forget to order a cold Carolina beer on tap, too." - Nancy DePalma
