Where to Eat at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) | Eater Carolinas

"A barbecue spot blending Texas, Carolina, and St. Louis traditions; the pulled pork sandwich with a tangy vinegar sauce is a standout choice." - Erin Perkins

The burnt ends plate was definitely not worth $30! I should’ve known not to order it when the person next to me left it all on their plate. Nearly all of the chunks were just fat. The barbecue sauce was way too sweet. The mac and cheese had no flavor. The service was fast, as expected.

Ordered from a QR code on the table. Ordered the pulled pork dinner with a side of baked beans. They brought an order of brisket nachos and said I had ordered them! Did not and refused them. After a fairly long wait, got my actual order. Pulled pork was okay. Did get a generous portion. Baked beans were good, touch of heat. Hush puppies were cold but tasted okay. Sat at the bar. Was crowded. Lady bartender was trying, needed help. Overall it was okay. Pretty much airport food and service. Captive customers, so overpriced and so-so service.

Excellent spot to stop and get lunch, the food was piping hot and the bbq pulled pork was a monstrous portion. The flavor on everything was a great representation of Carolina-style smoked meats, the hush puppies were delicious and the baked beans had just enough of a kick. Very nice service, clean restaurant and bar. Will definitely stop here again.

The hostess (Katie) made this place! She was very friendly. Calm even when busy all around. Good vibes here. —And the bloody Mary and sweet potato fries was just right for a short layover!

This was by far the best airport meal I have ever had. The pulled pork sandwich was so flavorful and cooked to perfection (or shall i say smoked to perfection) that you don't need any sauce on it. The nachos wirh brisket was a very good portion and excellent. Service was top notch!

Mixed reviews it seems so thought I'd help balance the perspective. I've been here a few times, probably my favorite airport grub at Charlotte. Had the cheesesteak before, this we had the smoked turkey sandwich and the pimento burger w side salad. Still my pick here, better luck to the others next time.

Food was fantastic, not sure why there were poor reviews. Our service was quick and the food was amazing. Loved the East Carolina BBQ sauce and the meat was cooked to perfection. We got the turkey platter, pork platter, and a side of burnt ends.

For an airport restaurant it is probably a good choice, I got the burnt ends, they were very tender and not dry, but the BBQ sauce was extremely sweet, too much for me, the coleslaw was better. And prepare for a really big dish, this is one of the very few times (three in my life I think) I left some meat on the plate. It is ok, not the best but it is not bad, maybe it is because I got it for dinner

During a trip where I had a quick transfer at Charlotte Airport, I was rushing down the concourse until I realized my connection was delayed so I had a little bit of extra time. The airport has a bunch of different fast food and sit down food options, I stopped at Midwood, they seemed pretty busy, I was able to get seated right away. They had various bbq options and I decided on the Burnt Ends. Burnt ends are exactly as they sound, they're usually the end pieces of roasts which usually get a lot more char than the center pieces of the meat, sometimes they can be more chewy. I enjoyed the Burnt Ends with the Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce, it really brings out the meat in a different way than other BBQ styles. I don't have a lot of experience with hush puppies but I liked their hush puppies too. Airport pricing inflates everything, so the pricing is more than I probably would've spent outside of an airport, but overall it was a pretty good bbq experience.

It has been a while since we have been to Midwood Smokehouse, but we were traveling and decided BBQ sounded good, even though airport locations are usually not as good as stand alone locations, and certainly more expensive. We were seated immediately and took a few minutes before we got service. It was fine as we were able to figure out what we wanted to order while we waited. We split a plate of pulled pork with sausage and macaroni and cheese. Their pulled pork is excellent with the sausage being pretty good, too. I'm very critical of mac and cheese as it is my favorite side dish. I saw on social media they had recently upgraded their mac and cheese recipe. Unfortunately, it was not upgraded. It was a very creamy mac and cheese, but it wasn't that strong in cheese flavor. So, I would get a different side. What we got was more than enough to share between the two of us. I definitely recommend Midwood, but if you have a chance to stay in Charlotte, definitely go to one of their other locations for more options and better service.

(3/9/25) I was looking around for a place to eat tonight that's a bit more upscale than Panda Express. I happened to be walking concourse B and the wonderful smell from the kitchen drew me in. Midwood is open till 10:30pm tonight. That's plenty of time to eat the nachos libre with brisket that I ordered. The waitress seemed put out that I didn't order a cocktail. The water in the to go cup is precious. The nachos were huge, but I ate them all. Midwood is my favorite restaurant landside.

We really enjoyed our experience. It's a nice sit down restaurant at the airport. They have booths, hightop and regular tables, and bar seating. The waitstaff were friendly and the food was good. I had the smoked turkey. It tasted fine but didn't wow me. The rely heavily on you using their BBQ sauce. It's good sauce but I would like the food to stand on its own a little better. Surprisingly, the hush puppies were pretty good. My wife had the Carolina Pork and the flavor was very good. I would recommend this dish.

One star is generous. My server was nice enough but my food was cold and I told her about it. Didn't offer to bring me a new order, a hot order, which is lame. I literally had fries and a side salad so wouldn't have cost the restaurant much to make it right - just replace the fries! The other server working in my section (auburn hair in a pony tail didn't see a name) was so rude and looked straight mad. My salad was OK but there are plenty of other restaurants here at the Charlotte airport so don't waste your time here.

Do not go into this airport restaurant/bar. What a rip off. It should be illegal what they do. We ordered a Bloody Mary. We were given a menu, but the menu had no prices so we scanned the QR code on the bar top to get price. $16.99. A lot for a BM but typical for airport bar. We got the bill and were charged $23.99 each. I said to bartender, the QR code says $16.99. He said, ya those aren't accurate that's why I gave you a menu. I said menu has no prices. He said you should have asked me. I said how would I have known the QR code is not accurate? He said yea they should remove those. Seriously, a reputable company would not do this. Lots of places to have drinks/ food in CLT airport... try any of them but this one.

My boss and I stopped in because of the wonderful smell of BBQ emanating from the restaurant as we headed to our Gate. We were seated quickly near the entrance and were told that we didn't need to scan the QR code for the menu to order as they had servers running around. The place was pretty packed with people at the bar and people in the booths and the tables. They had TVs on in there, all on the same NBA game. We looked over the menu and while I was hungry, I didn't want to eat something heavy I definitely wanted to get some meat from them. I got The Roadhouse burger (chuck & brisket burger patty w/ketchup, mustard, pickles, American cheese, lettuce and tomato on a buttery bun) with sweet potato fries. He got the 1930 Cheesesteak (Thinly sliced smoked brisket w/Boar's Head White American cheese, mayo and caramelized onions on a traditional hoagie roll) with a side salad. We didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive and we dug in. My burger was pretty dang good! The patty was very juicy. You'd think that the burger was kinda small but for we it was the perfect portion. I ate that and about half of the fries and I was done. My boss ate all of his sandwich and the salad. He was thoroughly impressed with the portion and taste of his plate. Very happy we came and now I know that Midwood is a good place to stop in.

I wish we had this restaurant in my state. It was delicious! We had a great server too. It was the perfect place to stop at during our long layover. Drinks were well made and the food was great. A cute restaurant, it'll definitely be my go to place if I'm ever at this airport again!

Had a layover flight in Charlotte. I was honestly kind of excited, because half the reason why I travel is for the food, and I haven't been to the Carolina in a few years. Without looking too much into the food at the airport, I was either hoping for a Bojangles or bbq food. Luckily this airport had both! My wife ended up getting Bojangles and my son and I both came here to Midwood. Coming from Texas, we had plenty of beef brisket, and when in Rome, we decided to both get their Pulled Pork Sandwich. The sandwich came with fries and was surprisingly really good. It was very filling and the pulled pork wasn't bad at all. Wasn't at smoky as I would have liked but overall not bad for "airport" food. This place will definitely be a must if I find myself in this airport again.

I made the trip down to terminal B on the recommendation of a fellow Yelper. I have a BBQ place i usually eat at in Charlotte. Since he travels as much as I do, I thought i would try" his place". You sit down and order here. Usually I don't have that kind of time but today I do. The service was fast, my drink was brought, I ordered my food and it was at my table in under 5 minutes. I had the pork plate with fries. The pork was good. They call it chopped but it is closer to pulled but it's good. The fries that came with it were old. Cold and hard. It was served with pickles and hush puppies. The pickles are fill and firm. Really good. Hush puppies were cooked perfectly, warm and crisp with a soft inside. The BBQ here is better than the one in the center of the airport. I would just say don't order fries.

I was traveling back from Atlanta recently and had a layover in the Charlotte Airport. Since it was around breakfast time, I decided to try grabbing a bite at Midwood Smokehouse. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty frustrating. Originally, there was a pretty lengthy wait to be seated, which was surprising given that there weren't many people in the restaurant. The hostess also ended up being the one to serve my table... which wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't taken my order and then completely forgotten to enter my order into the restaurant system. She came back 20 minutes later asking if someone had taken my order, and I had to tell her that yes... she did. She had to ask me all over again what I had ordered. When I repeated it, it seemed to click that she had, in fact, already taken my order (fairly simply - the grits with burnt ends, as well as the passionfruit mimosa. It's not like I asked for anything special or changes). Once my order was actually ENTERED then it didn't seem to take long to actually be brought to the table; however, getting the attention of staff at the end of my meal was something that, again, felt way harder than it needed to be. As for the meal overall, everything was oddly... flavorless? Even my drink seemed especially watered down. The burnt ends themselves were the only thing with any kind of flavor, but the meat seemed fatty. TL;DR I don't expect high quality food in an airport... but given how expensive the breakfast was, I would have appreciated a little something flavor-wise. I also don't really have anything positive to say about the service, sadly. It felt like pretty much everyone in the restaurant just didn't want to be bothered. It's one of the VERY FEW times I've ever tipped under my usual 20%. I was really torn between giving this place 1 or 2 stars... and the only reason I'm giving it 2 is because the restaurant appeared to 1) be pretty clean, and 2) the kitchen staff actually started singing at one point and that was pretty adorable. If they enjoy working together? That's a great thing. I just wish the rest of the experience matched what seemed to be the atmosphere in the kitchen.

Was waiting for my next flight and wanted some breakfast. Went into Midwood to give them a try. Ohh boy which I didn't. Of course I already know anything in airports are going to be pricey but to give you a child portion along with the high price, Nooo. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and I promise you my four year old granddaughter would have still been hungry. I'm giving the 2 star for service. My waitress was very nice and understanding to my complaint to her about the food.

Stopped by while we were waiting for a flight and ordered some quick food. I ordered the the nachos but with turkey chopped on top. Everything was good i really just wished they'd put more bbq sauce on them but other than that it was no complaints.

This is a full service restaurant in an airport terminal. A host greeted me and was able to sit my party of one quickly. They have a decent menu offering good barbecue options like platters of meat with sides and several sandwiches. They also offer two different lunch salads. I had the Roadhouse burger - a custom chuck & brisket blend burger patty w/ ketchup, mustard, pickles, American cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a bun. I ordered it as it comes and had it cooked medium. The patty was hefty and juicy- about 10 oz. The lettuce was a large, crisp, single leaf. The single tomato was sliced thick. The cheese got lost in the rich meat. Overall, it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best. I added crinkle cut fries that came with some seasoning. They were hot, but also limp, and not very appetizing. There is a full bar with beer, wine and soft drinks. Flatscreens had various games on. The seating was comfortable. Shout-out to the fantastic server Holly. I went at the height of lunch hour and it was busy! As a rule, I'm low maintenance and I was surprised at how often they checked up on me. I appreciated them making sure I had everything I needed, even after I paid the bill. Overall I was happy to get away from the chaotic seating at the gate. Remember you're not just paying for the food. You're also paying for the experience!

Just passing through to Charlotte (on the way home). Service on the spot, they were a bit busy but we were seated within 4 minutes. The server was very friendly and helped in ordering (first time trying this place). We tried the brisket cheese steak hoagie and loaded nachos (we finished before I could take a picture :-)). The briskets are amazing here. Don't know why the stars are low (maybe people did not like the ambient, as it is noise - but it's an airport spot). We are taking the burnt ends to go for tomorrow.

So, if you happen to be at the airport with some time to kill and you are in the mood for some BBQ I have to recommend Midwood Smokehouse over some of the other BBQ joints in the airport. The prices are very reasonable. Design is roadhouse couture with lots of old fashion signs of the 50's & 60's. Service was quick. Paul our waiter was assume. We had the Roadhouse burger medium with BBQ baked beans. The beans had pulled pork mixed in which gave it an added smokey taste- yummy. The BBQ turkey plater had a very nice sized slab of turkey. If I'm ever back in Charlotte I would like to check out some of their other locations.

If you need food and a place to sit, it's a good stop. I had the smoked turkey with fries and it was pretty good! The service was quick and with pay at the table makes it an easy stop for a quick bite in between flights. Small menu but diverse enough to please all. Casual, busy but easy to dip in for a break from the heavy foot traffic in the terminal.

I had a pretty good experience spending the layover sharing some good food with friends. The service was good and the food wasn't so expensive that I couldn't leave a nice tip. We sat at the front table, but if there were any available in the back I would have preferred to eat there. That way I could look out the window at the planes on the taxiway instead of people looking at me in the terminal. I liked the music motif of the place.

Grabbed a quick dinner before flight. Was sat pretty quickly, although they had a packed house! Service was good, drinks and food came out quickly. Ordered the pulled pork plate with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was semi edible but was not even warm. The pulled pork was a little hard and didn't have too much flavor. Was unable to finish my meal. Hope it was just an off-night for them bec I usually eat at the locations in Charlotte and have a very positive experience there.

Decent choice for a meal at CLT. Great views of the tarmac from the window seats and nearby tables.. BBQ is served on what looks like Grandma's dishes with real silverware and full service. Burnt ends were on the pricey side, but moist and delicious. BBQ pork sandwich is on the other end of the price scale. Generous amount of meat on a toasted bun, although it didn't have as much of the East Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce as I would have liked. Baked beans, definitely not vegetarian, were phenomenal (although a bit lukewarm) and had a spicy kick. Little oval-shaped hush puppies were dog-gone delicious. Although they ran out of almost all their draft beers, my tall-boy canned IPA (19 oz) was actually an excellent value compared to other places at the airport.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS LOCATION!!!!!!! I travel for business a lot and heard that Midwood was going into the airport. Was really excited for a number of reasons. 1. I could grab a brisket sandwich to go (either coming home or going out). NOPE! No Brisket here. What..... 2. Brisket Meatballs to Go. NOPE!! No Brisket here....... Ok so back to the review. We arrived home to the airport and decided to grab something before heading home. The wait was unbelievably bad. It's not that the restaurant was full at all. it seemed that everyone was in disarray. Finally got seated and then did get some good news. SMOKED TURKEY IS ON THE MENU EVERYDAY!!! Ok. love their smoked turkey and don't get that everyday from the locations around town. So ordered the Midwood Chopped Salad with Turkey (My Go To entree). It was pretty horrible. Not in terms of taste, but 99% lettuce. I had to dig to find a few pieces of corn, black beans and they forgot the Avocado. REALLY???? Honestly the Huntersville location the quality is going down, but my airport experience was a new low for Midwood. I cut back my patronage at the Huntersville location, but will definitely NOT BE COMING BACK TO THE AIRPORT LOCATION. Save your money and your time by going somewhere else. Sorry Midwood but you're better than that.

After walking around the airport within our 2 hour layover, I thought it would be good to eat something that we couldn't get at home so I chose Midwood Smokehouse for some southern BBQ. The bar and the decor looked cool so we made our way in around 8:30 PM. Unfortunately, I was wrong. We ordered two drinks: The Raspberry Palmer and the Watermelon Mai Tai. Big mistake!! The drinks took over 10 minutes to make, probably because everything is fresh, but they didn't have all of the ingredients to make the drink properly anyway. There were no garnishes in either drink and the Watermelon Mai Tai wasn't 3/4 of the way filled in a Colin's glass filled with ice. I think a key ingredient that was missing in the Mai Tai was the mint, but now for the kicker...The drinks didn't have prices on the menu so BEWARE. The Watermelon Mai Tai was $23.99 and the Rasp. Palmer was $21.29. Do Not Be Fooled, definitely not worth even $15.00 of the normal craft cocktail price. Now for the food. I ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork, for $16.99. It was supposed to come with hush puppies and one side. They didn't have the hush puppies and didn't compensate for that. They were out of the coleslaw, didn't have collard greens at this location so I opted for the baked beans. I added the burnt ends for $9.00. The pulled pork was okay, the only thing that saved it was the Coca-Cola BBQ sauce, which was amazing. The burnt ends were not crispy and they were super salty so I didn't finish them. The beans were nothing special, but the house pickles were fantastic. We also ordered a chopped salad for $10.99 and added chicken for $5.00. I don't even think I need to tell you, just look at the picture. Just a small basic salad, but the chicken was cooked and the lettuce was fresh. The airport location doesn't have ribs, the specials or the collard greens. They were also out of the 1930 steak and the hush puppies at the time that I was there. I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't good and I felt like I was robbed. With a tip, the bill was over $100 and we got 2 drinks, pulled pork and a salad. Run!

Passing through the B concourse of CLT, I saw Midwood Smokehouse and told myself I would stop on my return flight. I did and in what should have been a sign of things to come, there was no hostess to direct patrons to seats. The bartender looked over with a face that read "sorry, buddy, nothing I can do for you." Once finally seated, the QR code on the table did not work, so I was unable to order and had to wait for a waitress to come by. Plenty of them walked by my table and the table of the gentleman who sat next to me. We waited about 15 minutes and I was about to get up and leave before someone came by. She barely looked at me as she took my order. I got the pimento cheese fries and a water. The water took another 8 minutes to come out. Now mind you, the restaurant was not busy. When my order came out the fries were pretty soggy and some parts of the pimento and queso cheeses were cold. Seated near the kitchen, I can see why there was a delay: the servers were spending their time talking to the line cooks all about their romantic lives. I heard all about their recent dates. With these kinds of delays, it would not surprise me that people miss flights at the already terrible CLT airport because of Midwood Smokehouse.

Did I really just get good BBQ in an airport?!? I can't imagine how good their actual local locations would be. It was definitely pricy as expected for airport food. Service was quick. They missed some parts of our order, but fixed it when we asked. We had the turkey plate. The turkey was moist and well flavored without any additional sauce! Their mac and cheese and hushpuppies were also on point. Sweet potato fries were a bit soggy, but I don't mind that too much. This place will be remembered for future adventures in Charolotte.

Stopped here on a business trip at the Charlotte airport for breakfast. Ordered an ice tea, it was good but very sweet. For my meal I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich with home fries. The fries were good but little seasoning. Sandwich was ok and nothing to write home about. Not a lot of bacon or cheese and roll was bland. Expected better for a bbq place at least with the bacon. Typical airport food in the end. Hopefully the real restaurant is much better.

Stopped by this place because I heard of the famous NC BBQ. Boy, it's a complete and utter disappointment. I ordered The Roadhouse burger that was supposed to be custom chuck & brisket blend patty. What I got was a nasty burger that you get from any low budget burger place. I then ordered a Margarita and upgraded from their house 1800 (cheap and nasty Cuervo) to Don Julio Silver. Thought I'd enjoy a nice drink as I wait for my flight, but what I got instead was basically some other cheap watered down Margarita mix whereby I couldn't even taste the tequila. DO NOT order any drinks. They're a SCAM. They purposely don't put any prices on the menu and therefore you'll end up like me over paying $25.99 for a disgusting and dishonest drink disguised as a Margarita. The service was prompt and friendly, but certainly not worth your time or money eating here!!

My flight was delayed a few hours, so had time to stop by Midwood for a few beers. Got the Sycamore Mountain Candy IPA and stayed with it. Ordered the Pulled pork with Mac n' Cheese both went very well with the Sycamore. The hush puppies were uhh, not great, so had half of 1. The rest was excellent, enjoyed the vinegar and mustardy bbq sauce assist, btw. Leave the puppies.

Not bad for being at the airport. I like the downtown location better, but not bad. The pork sandwich was very good and the bun was super soft. Service was attentive and the interior is basic bar which it is. I would recommend it.

Stopped here on our layover between Augusta and Tampa and I must say, I will not be returning. We grabbed a couple drinks and a sandwich and noticed there was one lady running all around working her behind off when there were two ladies behind the counter looking down at their phones. They would occasionally look up and see us or look to each other to say something. When the one hard worker came back, she rung us up and we were able to head to our gate. Absolute horrible service and when my partner asked for mayo or another condiment, he was informed there weren't any, so he ate their dry turkey sandwich as is. We absolutely won't be returning here, and I hope that one hard worker gets some better co-workers soon or finds an employer that hires people with better work ethic.

Terrible rude black woman there. I'm standing in line and the Black cashier/order taker starts yelling at me. My friend is in hallway watching, she said to go somewhere else. I stayed behind the only other customer in the place. There's no one else.The cashier tells me I'm standing too close to the customer in front of me who is taking.candy off the counter. This cashier tells me I'm too close to the customer even tho there's a huge counter between us ? and the cashier got on my case, I asked the customer did I invade your personal space? She smiled and said no, but this cashier would not let it go. She just really had some kind of problem. she tells me that it was bothering her ? poor thing. But when I try to give her an order, she starts giving me a hard time. I left. My friend called her a bitch I agree.

Food had a nice smoke on it but everything was very dry. The BBQ sauces had an identity crisis, and couldn't figure out how to be tangy, sweet, and heat. The chopped salad was very generously piled leaf lettuce with a sprinkling of beans, cheese and corn buried in it, nearly undetectable dressing, and a generous helping of pulled pork added on for $5.00. Unfortunately it was overall bland and again, so dry it was difficult to swallow even coated w additional sauces. The Pimento Burger was really tasty, greasy and messy. Burnt Ends were decent. Very nice smokiness. The BBQ corn was the highlight of the meal. Service was surprisingly quick to get us seated and served, but then we asked three times and waited at least 20 additional minutes for the check. Perfectly fine for a place to be seated for a long layover. Wouldn't do it again, but that's what we get for trying to get great BBQ at an airport restaurant when you make such good food at home. ;-)

My husband loves bbq and pork. We are from Kansas, so we like Kc bbq. Apparently they cook many regions of BBQ. He got burnt ends extra crispy and they were just like he wanted. The French fries and hush puppies were served hot and perfectly cooked. I had a salad. It was so fresh and delicious. The waitress was patient and kind to us. We were having a hard day so between the good food and nice waitress our day was turned around. Thank you.

this is for the togo window staff is slow, undertrained, frustrated and rude. I love midwood and have going there for 14 yrs They have great BBQ and I know prices have increased for everything but $30 for burnt ends with a side seems a little high when all of the other meat plates are under $20... It was supposed to come with hush puppies which i did not receive I assume because they are so disorganized and the employees don't know their product. I didn't check the bag till i got to my gate on the other end of the terminal which was stupid... it was too far to walk back for hush puppies Still I paid the price because it is that good. If you have the time I would suggest waiting in line to actually sit and order in the airport restaurant

I decided to try this restaurant when I received a voucher from United Airlines due to the ongoing delays in my flights. Since this was my first time there And I had wanted a seat at a table but would consider the bar since it was do packed, I waited in line for the hostess to sit me. When she told me sitting was available at the bar (and didn't make it seem like there were other possible seats for single diners, I began to walk towards two seats I saw that were available. Now, there was this trailer park hillbilly who came to the restaurant AFTER me who had started to get in line too, took it upon himself to take one of the two seats ahead of me. He took about 5 years to pull out one of the chairs so I continue walking in hopes of other options. To the right of the bar is what? A few empty seats. Before I can even decide if I want sit there or go back up to the hostess, the bartender wants to shout, "If you want to sit there, you'll have to be seated by the hostess. There are seats available at the bar." First of all, relax! I tell him, "I know. I waited in line where the hostess told me about those seats some man cut in front of me." Bartender wants to act like I said I would sit where I wanted. So he annoyingly repeats what's he probably practiced in the mirror. I repeat my statement. He again says the same thing. As I walk back pass the bar, "Where are these empty seats?" Suddenly he remembers hostess isn't his title. He can't say anything because the second empty seat was occupied now by a carryon bag. I walked out to use my voucher somewhere else. Guess what I don't have time for? A-holes. What was really through deal of ONE PERSON sitting by the window? This was a very unwelcoming experience smh

Don't bother, Hugh disappointing. They will not serve individual sides or meats by them self. Any decent barbecue place will sell the meat by the pound by then individual side if you want it. This location made you combine it with something else on the menu. No doubt and conjunction with HMS to try and jack up the price and buy more than you really need. Don't bother, spend your money elsewhere!

This smokehouse smelled like a rotten dumpster in an alley in the middle of July! Seriously, just walking past this place, it stunk like rotting garbage! The whole hallway in this section of the airport smelled so bad, I honestly thought a restroom had overflowed! Only a few people in here eating the stinky food. I cannot believe this airport allows the putrid stink of this place. The menu was limited and extremely overpriced for what it was. Will not be returning!

This is the most amazing BBQ I have had. I got the burnt ends and they were cooked to perfection. The BBQ cola sauce is sweet but then slowly brings some heat. I was not expecting such good food at an airport location. I was pleasantly surprised. My waitress was friendly and amazing as well.

Would have been one star, but some of the staff were nice. The food was horrid, even for an airport. The pricing was high, but not outrageous. However, the quality of the food screams overpriced. Would not stop here again. There has to be a better spot in the Charlotte airport.

I was incredibly disappointed in the service here. Although I know it's an airport, some level of service should still be required. Bartender - excellent Kelly - well, there were 4 elderly gentleman who saw about 10 people bypass any host to show them a spot to sit I explained to her the situation and that one blonde older lady was being incredibly rude to them. She, instead started raising her voice at me and made me out to be the issue. So sad. Where has service gone??? Take care of people. I'll add photos of the ill suited servers soon.

Service is top notch! Midwood Salad is not chopped, and tasted like a bagged grocery store salad. Nothing like we are used to at the other locations.

stopped in while waiting on a flight delay at the airport and it was pretty decent. i really enjoyed the hushpuppies and the baked beans and found that the burnt ends were pretty good too. the turkey was super dry in my opinion. overall the food was okay, could be much better. the service was great though :)

Visited the Midwood Smoke House in North Carolina airport. Andrew waited on us and believe me you will know him when you walk in. Andrew is the one who runs around to make sure you get the best experience. I ask for a few changes on my selection of food and it was taken care of. If you you get the chance to make it into Midwood Smokehouse ask for Andrew. It is worth the extra walk through the airport to get great food and quality service.
