We had a very good meal with good service. Try the burnt ends, the sauce on them is unique and tasty. All of the meats were good: ribs, pulled pork and chicken and brisket. The sides were good as well! We had the Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, Brunswick stew, & crinkle cut fries. We will return to try other options. The menu is large. PS… the bathrooms were nice and clean!
Pretty good but not a place I’d go out of my way to get to. I felt the chicken mad greens should’ve been seasoned a bit more. Customer service was A+ though! Our waitress was so nice
Great spot for bbq. I enjoyed everything from the appetizers, the brisket was nice and tender, hush puppies and sweet potato fries were delicious. The cocktails were ok. Overall great food and service.
I love the brisket from this place and have gotten it at 3/5 locations and it has been good every time. I have even referred people to go here. Yesterday I ordered a pound of brisket to go so I could enjoy it for dinner, as I live out of town but didn’t want to pass up the opportunity. Well once I got home and gave the brisket a closer look, I noticed that 2-3 slices were pure fat. I thought maybe it was some small layers of fat with meat behind them, but no, it was 100% fat through and through. So essentially 30% of the brisket I bought, at $28/pound ($30 after tax), was worthless. I’m unfortunately unhappy with this most recent experience. I didn’t expect anything extra, just the $30 worth of product I paid for. I will return to one of the restaurants whenever I’m close by, but if I have another experience like this one, I may start shying away from this place.
Really wanted some good bbq so went here for my birthday dinner. We both got small plates dinners - brisket dinner with Brunswick stew, and a pork plate with burnt ends add-on and Brunswick stew, everything was great. Couldn’t finish everything so I can’t imagine how much more food there is in the large plates. Loved the house made pickle slices and the hush puppies. We got our food within 10 mins of ordering so everything was quick. I also had the pineapple mint margarita. It’s a little bit light on the mint and the tequila but I like pineapple juice anyway so it was all good. Service overall was great. Our server was always professional and personable. The ambiance at this restaurant was noisy but I’ve never been to a quiet bbq place so it’s to be expected. We were in and out of there in 45 mins which was great since the noise level was making my ears ring. Overall, we loved the food, service was fantastic and we’ll definitely return, probably for lunch next time.
Since moving to Hickory NC about two years ago we have found lots of good restaurants in our wanderings but surprisingly few good barbecue places. One we have enjoyed and that is worth the drive is Midwood Smokehouse. We made another recent stop after returning from out of town and the food was once again very good. We had the smoked chicken and pulled pork. Both were moist, tender and tasty with the right amount of smoke and seasoning. There are a variety of sides which, as always were ample and tasty (except for the steamed vegetables, which were pretty much mush). The hushpuppies and homemade pickles are also a nice touch. Also, we always have to finish the evening with pecan cobbler. Just delicious. Anytime we make the sojourn to Charlotte, this is one stop on the top of our list.
The aroma of this restaurant will draw you in! It is for meat lovers primarily, and they will not be disappointed. The tender portions are generous and the taste is so excellent - whether beef, pork or chicken. Dress casually and bring your appetite.
The food was delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and paired well with the avocado pico. The desserts were phenomenal. If you have a sweet tooth, give the blondie a go. You will not be disappointed. Overall the food was fantastic and the service was superb. I will be back!
We were traveling from Winston-Salem to Charlotte on a Saturday afternoon and not being familiar with the area we turned to Yelp to find a nice place to enjoy some early dinner. We decided that BBQ sounded perfect and came across Midwood Smokehouse. We stopped in shortly after 4pm and were impressed with the interior and yummy smells. We were immediately seated and provided menus. Taylor D. was our server and she was very engaging. Taylor took time to provide us with recommendations on the menu and we felt very taken care of. She also shared with us they are small chain of about 5 locations which is part of a parent company which also has Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Latin style restaurants. My wife ordered the small mixed primed beef brisket plate with broccoli casserole and hushpuppies while I ordered the 1930 cheesesteak sandwich with the classic mac n' cheese side. We also decided to order smoked meatballs as an appetizer with a smoked jalapeno barbecue sauce. The meatballs arrived first and looked delicious. We both enjoyed the meatballs but they have a little heat (what I would call afterburn, it comes later), but we did enjoy them. You could actually see the smoke ring on the outer edge when you cut into them. Our meals arrived shortly afterwards. My wife really enjoyed the brisket and loved the hushpuppies which she had never had before. I also really enjoyed the cheesesteak sandwich and thought the brisket was delicious. Overall this was a great experience and we would recommend to others!
We have been eating at this location for many years. Quality and service has been up and down for years. The change management like socks. Lately I have found the quality to be going down again. There has been something lacking with the pulled pork as of late, the bacon wrapped jalapeños have been terrible as of late, no flavor and the peppers being tough, and the smoked chicken just isn’t as good. Service has been good, the bathrooms need a good going over. The prices on some items have skyrocketed, ie ribs. We just do not get them anymore. They are not worth the price!
