The service here was amazing but the food left a lot to be desired. Best thing I had was the brisket and baked beans.

What a great place in Charlotte to check out. We loved our waitress Savannah. She gave great recommendations and took time to explain the menu which was appreciated.
Ribs were fantastic. Cooked so well and none of the meat really needed the bbq sauce we asked for as it all had great flavor. Pickles were so fresh and the acidity was nice when eating all of the meat we got - burnt ends, ribs, brisket, and sausage.
Collards were alright but macaroni and cheese was great. Thank you for a great experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Cookie J.Fresno, CA138122Jun 26, 2024
We visited the Central Avenue location 06/2024.
PROS: burger & beans were excellent! the greens were good, they had a southern, pork cooked taste, they were good, but not excellent. I also tasted the mac/cheese & brisket... excellent! The service was perfect. We parked in the back, which was kinda limited.
CONS: noneHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 794106199Jun 22, 2024
Had a wonderful meal with the family at Midwood Smokehouse! We walked in without a reservation and did not have to wait long for seating on a Friday night because the place was so big! Lots of tables in the front and back area. There is also a full bar in the middle of the restaurant, and we asked if they could put the NBA finals on which they were able to do for us.
The service was great. Very prompt and helpful. Our food came out decently fast and was so delicious, really loved the pulled pork, chicken and hush puppies. I got the ranch water which was good but I think next time I will try the margaritas. Thanks for a great dinner!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Abrianna, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience, the pulled pork, chicken, and hush puppies! Thank you!

First of all, service was amazing! Our waitress was so awesome and friendly. In the picture we have a full slab of ribs, jalapenos poppers, hush puppies, Mac n cheese, house pickles, and some pimento cheese. The ribs were super tender and fall off the bone. Flavor was good and they also have 4 different BBQ sauces. Sides were good, pickles were slightly sweet so not a huge favorite for me but my husband enjoyed them. I am from Cali and have never had pimento cheese, asked the waitress and she brought it with no question. We also got table side guacamole. All of this food plus drinks for $60, steal of a deal and fed 3 of us.

It was ok. To start protein portions are somewhat small. Chicken was dry so sauce was needed. Brisket was a little over cooked but at had some flavor. Sauces were not groundbreaking in flavor. Sides were enjoyable I would say and the service was good. Received the food fast. Food was also priced well. Overall I think proteins can be cooked better and would probably go elsewhere for good BBQ.

We stopped in and got a large brisket plate and half smoked chicken with sides of coleslaw, mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, and collard greens. It was a ton of food for two people and we were so full! Both meats were pretty good; the brisket was a bit fatty. We were disappointed in the mac and cheese, definitely nothing special about it and it could have benefited from a topping. The other sides were all pretty good.
Service was quick and super friendly. We had bbq elsewhere when we were in Charlotte, and this was not our favorite stop, so I don't think we'd be back, but this was still a tasty meal.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for your amazing and detailed review! We are pleased to hear that you feel welcome and that the pulled pork, brisket, and ribs continue to exceed your expectations!

Mid perfectly describes this place. Chain feel, that is so unauthentic. The service and value however are strong. The food is very average, with nothing standing out or worth getting again. Meh generic bbq you can get anywhere.
