After finding this restaurant on TripAdvisor and reading all the great reviews, we decided to give it a try. We arrived shortly after they open, were seated immediately, and had our waiter there within moments. I tried the Burnt Ends - my first time having them - and they were delicious! The mac and cheese was also awesome!! We will... More

I really enjoyed the food and service here. I had a half rack of ribs with their signature sauce and it was fantastic. I got the bacon wrapped jalapenos as one of my sides and they were so good. A colleague ordered the burnt ends and he really enjoyed them as well. The prices are suitable for almost any budget,... More

Stopped by late afternoon for drinks after a stressful Friday. All the staff was very friendly and the smiles were contagious as the three of us were also smiling. Sat outside and the service was great. Nice place to regroup after a long day.

Just got back from my first visit here this evening. Have been to 12 different bbq places in and around Charlotte. I chose Midwood based in the rave reviews here, so my expectations were high. We ordered full rack of ribs, beef brisket (lean and fatty) and our sides were bbq slaw, beans, Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries.... More

I know great BBQ, having smoked a ton of brisket and ribs myself in the past. Found this place on Yelp. Wow! Burnt ends on the menu. Ordered that, with the jalapeno poppers and baked beans. The burnt ends were nicely charred but not dry - good smoke flavor. Maybe a little heavy on the sauce, if I had any... More

I was psyched to eat here after reading the TA review. It seemed promising, stellar weather, laid back outside seating, awesome smoky smells. Service was just fine. The portions were generous. I got the burnt ends, baked beans, hush puppies, pulled pork and slaw. The sauce for the burnt ends was overpowering, it was reduced to tar, and it was... More

I went here for the first time last week, and the food was excellent, along with the service and the atmosphere! We went during lunch, sat out on the patio, and had a great time. The service was quick, even with a hopping Friday lunch crowd...and did I mention the food? Fantastic.

Our server was on point all night - he was busy when we arrived and made us feel welcome! We enjoyed our smoked brisket, tacos, Memphis Style ribs and burnt ends! All the sides are excellent and not at all an "after-thought." We are all from Chicago area - and there is some great BBQ here - this place blew... More

This is a good place for friends to hang out and have BBQ. They have a reasonably priced menu and good BBQ. I agree with the other reviewers that their jalapeno peppers are a must try!

Saw the reviews on TA, doing a foodie road trip; had to try it! You won't be disappointed. GO! GO NOW! Would be back for dinner if I wasn't headed for Tennessee! Pulled pork, ribs, slaw, baked beans, burnt ends(fatty).......it's all too good! Worth every calorie! Sweet tea is not too sweet! Oregon or Bust!
