"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

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.

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!

We love this place! Everything is perfect. We loved Saint Louis style pork Ribs, Burnt Ends, Mac & cheese, broccoli casserole, sweet potato fries. We loved it so much we came twice in the same week during our stay in North Carolina

Our basketball team was out here from Colorado. We were told this was the best spot and it did not disappoint!!! This food was the best BBQ I’ve had in YEARS. Not only that the service was phenomenal. Very welcoming with southern hospitality. The drinks were even better. I can honestly say there was nothing negative so say about this spot. THIS IS THE BEST BBQ IN THE CITY, DONT PASS IT UP!!!

Supper Meal: I ordered the burnt ends with sweet potato fries Mike ordered the pulled pork with Maggie ordered the lean brisket with broccoli casserole Dan ordered brisket (medium) with greens Dessert (for other birthdays) was Banana Pudding and Pecan Cobbler!! YUMMMM! 😋😋😋😋 SERVICE: Our waitress, Ciera (in red shirt), is THE BEST OF THE BEST for how should took care of all of us!! We were all so impressed! My husband called the manager over to make sure the manager knows how great Ciera is, how lucky Midwood is to have her working for them! ATMOSPHERE: This new section (I believe it was built a year ago) to the restaurant was so relaxing to be in this addition.

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

Everything from the food to the service from our server was fantastic. The place constantly changed new people and orders, which seemed like a good sign to my family and me. And this sign proved true. We got the sampler platter, and it was terrific. The ribs and brisket were fantastic, and we polished it off with the banana pudding, which was also homemade and excellent. This is a tremendous Charlotte spot for BBQ. The parking situation is a bit sparse, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault.

Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had! Great ribs, brisket, pulled chicken and the sides were also well-made and tasty. Terrific service, especially with such a large group. Definitely coming back when I’m in Charlotte again!
