⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just found my favorite salad ever here! Everything was incredibly fresh. The avocado dip was so good, creamy, and full of flavor. The whole place was spotless, which I really appreciate. Dessert was glorious, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. And our waitress was genuinely nice and very attentive. Such a great experience from start to finish! Highly recommend.

If you are in the mood for phenomenal BBQ you can’t go wrong with Midwood Smokehouse. My two sons and I split the combo tray with pork, brisket, ribs and we added burnt ends. None of the meats disappointed in the least. We anticipated having food left over but we couldn’t stop eating. Mary was our server and service went beyond everyone’s expectations. You won’t regret your decision to give this place a try.

Enjoyed a wonderful relaxing dinner her with hubby. Our server was Tommy and he was Fantastic. He was knowledgeable, engaging and a lot of fun. This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back. You must get the Skillet Cornbread. It was delicious. My husband had the brisket, sweet potato fries, and collard greens. I had the smoked chicken, cole slaw and Miswood Salad. Everything was so good. We quenched our thirst with a Marguerite for hubby and the Peach Sangria for me. No sweet tea for me this time. The bathroom was clean as well as the rest of the facility. There was a full bar. There are booths as well as tables and chairs. Plenty of free parking. I must try the dessert on the next visit.

SOUTH MY MOUTH Greeted warmly, sat down quickly, quick to find out the manager seated us and gave us run down. We ended up doing the 4 meat course with sides. Before the sausage even touched my lips I knew from smell it was dang deliciousness, i let the flavor mingle in my mouth savoring each bite like it was my last, we ended up ordering an entire round of meats and hush puppies to go. We were shopping at IKEA in Charlotte and somehow after searching for "BBQ near me" this place kept popping up.

I’ve been to midwood smokehouse before but this is my first time at this location. No one was at the front to sit me, but the bartender quickly noticed and left from behind the bar to get me taken care of. Blake was my server and he did a great job at taking my order and getting everything to me. It was very cold on the inside of the building but otherwise the atmosphere was nice. Thanks for having me.

A lot of people recommended this place to us, and they weren’t wrong. We had a great evening—the waitress guided us through the menu and patiently explained the best options for us. Even though the restaurant was crowded, the food came out quickly. The brisket and pulled pork were incredible, and the beans were fantastic. We definitely want to come back soon!

We had madison as our waitress and she was amazing, very sweet and doesn’t rush you! the food was amazing the ribs were so good and i tried my fiancés cheese steak which was amazing too, the hush puppies were the best i’ve had in my opinion and the baked beans and mac and cheese were really good too and i loved the house pickles. i would definitely go again to try different things The only thing is it is hard to find parking depending on the time, we went for dinner so that could of been a reason

We really enjoy midwood, they always accommodate our family groups 14+. This is a relaxed but busy atmosphere the service is always good the food is served promptly. My wife had the brisket and said it was delicious. I had the salmon it was excellent, the salads and sides are also very good. The cornbread in a skillet is way too good and the pimento cheese fries are a must try.
