Midwood Smokehouse is one of my go-to BBQ spots in Charlotte--it's just consistently good…read more The highlight for me is the beef rib, but it's a bit of a "know before you go" situation. It's only available on Saturdays and Sundays, and they make a limited batch--usually around 11-12 ribs for the day--so once they're gone, they're gone. If you want one, go early. When you get it, it's huge, smoky, and rich. Some people mention it being a little fatty, but that's part of what makes it so good. The mac and cheese is exactly what you want with BBQ--creamy, indulgent, and a perfect side to balance the meat. Their sides in general are strong, which a lot of people call out. Also love the pickles they serve with everything. It's a small detail, but it cuts through the richness and makes the whole plate better. Overall, it's not trying to be ultra-traditional NC BBQ--it leans more Texas-style--but it's reliable, flavorful, and somewhere I keep coming back to.

Meh. When you need…read moreto be aggressive with a knife to get thru a rack of ribs, things aren't great. They didn't promise "fall off the bone" so I can't expect that, but most places I get ribs they just tear apart. This took work, and the mass of BBQ sauce slathered on makes the surgery a mess. So, that was a bummer. The tots lack creativity or any sort of seasoning which seems like an easy upgrade and a crowd pleaser. Oh well. Maybe I got there in a bad day, but if this is standard then I can't see not going to Noble Smoke next time I need ribs.

Smoked Wings (5/5): MAJOR redemption for Mac's. These were probably the best smoked wings I've ever…read morehad. Super smoky flavor, incredibly tender (the meat slides off the bone), and very juicy. The sauces were also both delicious. I liked the Carolina BBQ slightly more than the VTX. The only thing that could've made this any better is if they were also crispy on the outside. Down South Eggrolls (4/5): I love an eggroll, and these were solid. Very crispy shell but the inside tasted mostly just like mac and cheese. I couldn't even tell there was pulled pork in it... The sauce was also very good. Sweet and tangy. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

The night we went they were not very busy and the service was pretty good. We did wait a long time for the food. I ordered the barbecue sandwich with colored greens and it was delicious! My daughter also ordered a barbecue sandwich with mac & cheese. The barbecue sandwiches are also served with slaw. Everything had really good flavor and tasted great. My non-barbecue eating child ordered chicken fingers and french fries. The portions were all pretty good sized and everything was served hot!

It was a lot of fun but there are definitely some things that would have made this experience a little smoother for us. Overall, the price is very reasonable when split between the group. One very easy and good improvement would be to move the TV screen to the back of the room. It's positioned in the same area as the "stage" so everyone had to turn their backs to read the lyrics which just felt silly. For a room fit for 25, more mics are needed! I think it's 2 per room regardless of the size. The most frustrating part of our experience is that our YouTube queue was somehow shared with another room's. We would add songs, they would delete them. Random songs would show up in our queue, we would delete them. We didn't realize it until about 20 minutes in. When we told an employee about this, they weren't aware and didn't know what to do about it, but that's definitely something that needs to be sorted out for a better experience. Space-wise it's definitely pretty cramped although you could say that it made things more intimate. Food was good though! I've also had a lot of karaoke experiences where tambourines are included for added fun. Definitely wasn't expecting this, but that could be a fun addition! Overall I've had better karaoke room experiences but I would still go back again and recommend to anyone who's never done this before!

This was my third time trying the brisket cheesesteak and I can confidently say it's the best…read morecheesesteak I've had. It's absolutely loaded with meat -- not skimpy at all -- and the flavor is unreal. The brisket is tender, juicy, and packed with that smoky richness you expect, but elevated. The caramelized onions take it to another level. They add the perfect touch of sweetness that balances the savory brisket so well. And the bread? Perfect choice. It pairs beautifully with the meat and somehow doesn't get soggy, even with how juicy everything is. One thing I really love is that it comes wrapped in foil, and you could easily reheat it right in that same foil without losing quality. It holds up that well. Honestly, if they ever made brisket cheesesteak fries -- like this same brisket and toppings over crispy fries -- it would be an instant hit and such a great appetizer option. Third time trying it and it's just as amazing as the first. Definitely a must-order.

We went all in on the meats: smoked chicken salad, spareribs, pulled chicken, Carolina-style pork, and BBQ brisket. Every single protein was fall-off-the-bone tender with that perfect smoke ring and deep, layered flavor you can only get from a pit master who actually knows what they're doing. The brisket deserves its own paragraph buttery, juicy, and sliced just right. The sides are not an afterthought here, and that alone sets this place apart. Cheddar cornbread muffins are no joke. mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the baked potato was loaded and generous, and the onion rings had a satisfying crunch. The baked beans had that slow-cooked depth, the collard greens were perfectly seasoned, and the coleslaw was crisp and refreshing ,a great palate cleanser between bites. And then there was the brisket chili. Smoky, hearty, and packed with chunks of real brisket , it's the kind of bowl that makes you wish you saved more room. Everything came out flavorful and cooked with obvious care and pride. the quality was consistent across the board, and the whole family left happy and stuffed. This is the kind of BBQ spot you tell your friends about and then bring them to the following weekend. Absolutely coming back.
