Ribs, brisket, burnt ends
Kate M.

Need to advertise more! Never heard of this place I just randomly saw on Google when I was at the convention center. I think this was even better brisket than Smoke Pit and the burnt ends were AMAZING! I'm definitely telling everyone I know to try it

Brisket, ribs, pulled chicken, burnt ends. Hush puppies & baked beans.

Off the beaten path for us staying near Hendrick Motor Speedway, but absolutely worth it! I chose the pick 4 option as pictured. I wasn't really a fan of the sauce on my pulled chicken because it was too spicy (I don't like hot spicy stuff), but it was still delicious! The chicken was very juicy & it was the breast which is difficult to keep juiced! I am not a huge rib fan because others are clearly messing it up. Mount Pleasant has nailed the ribs, the burnt ends...even the hush puppies were delicious! I wish I lived here because I would come weekly! Highly recommend! Bathroom was clean, floors & tables as well. If you're looking for GREAT BBQ the family can enjoy & hear one another and not break your bank, this place has you covered! Their sweet bbq sauce took my brisket right over the edge. I had to buy a bottle to take home!

Recommend; Yes; not the best BBQ by any means BUT, certainly some INCREDIBLY super, super speedy and very professional customer service!! The brisket sandwich just didn't have any flavor whatsoever. The cheesesteak had much more, in our opinion. Fries were completely store bought flavored and nothing special at all, seriously. A corn dog was presumably just package-opened from Costco or Sam's and heated up. The meal was truly satisfying, again EXCELLENT customer service, just don't expect what I would identify as above average taste in anything much less to write home or to Grandma & Grandpa about. Good place, simple and satisfying.

Quarter chicken

I met some friends here for dinner tonight. It was my first visit to the MP Smokehouse. We entered and got a table for four. Our server came to our table along with a girl that she was training. The trainee was wearing a mask. The rest of the employees were wearing NO MASK. There really weren't any precautions being followed here except by the diners wearing their masks in. The food was decent. I got a chicken quarter with a baked potato and a salad. The salad was the best part of the meal. One of my friends ordered lean brisket. It was dry but flavorful. One of my friends got a barbecue with sweet potato fries. The barbecue was good and so were the fries.

Banana pudding
Carol R.

I sampled a few things here and loved everything I tried. The pulled pork and banana pudding were especially tasty. Loved the sauces too.

Brisket and honey bacon burger
Lauren G.

Wonderful food. my friend got the pulled pork and it was dry but they suggest you add your own sauce . the service was amazing!! they brought our food out very fast. overall it was a wonderful experience and it's very local. brisket is so good. i definitely recommend it!

Good food. Good service. Great portions. If you're nearby, it's worth it. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. It's standard BBQ but their ribs were fall off the bone delicious.

Had to stop. Was told some years back this is a must cost for true barbecue fans. And I was not disappointed. The he aroma when I got here was amazing that pit fired smokehouse smell was just mouth watering. StephanieH took my order of ribs, pork, brisket baked beans and fried okra for a dinner feast fit for anyone who yearns for that true smokehouse taste. You do not want to miss stopping and dining in or taking it to go. Just realize if you take it to go you will probably stop cause you will never make it home without at least hitting the hush puppies. Oh my might need to come up with another story the hush puppies will never make it home. They are so gooooooooood!!!!!!!! Maybe I turn around and go back for more .... Maybe stephanie H will have a heart and give me more.

Chicken, brisket, sausage, ribs with onion rings and Mac n cheese. Perfection!

Gonna lead with this, this was easily one of my top 3 BBQ experiences in the state of North…read moreCarolina, and it would fight hard for 1st overall. For now, we'll call it a tie, because i actually did not have any pulled pork while here (went more on the Texas side of things) so it can't be an apples to apples comparison. OK, I had heard from so many people over time how great the BBQ here is, and just never really had the occasion to be in Salisbury at the right time to have a meal. It just never seemed to time out right. Well, I was going to a show at the Salisbury theatre to see a family member perform, and we decided to go early and have dinner her prior... MAN. WOW. How glad am I what we did that? Getting there about 6 we just barely beat the dinner rush on a Friday night. About 10 minutes later there was a line for tables. Place was pretty big and clean, parking would clearly be an issue at peak times though, and it looked like it was when we left. Our server was young but attentive, even offering us a sample of baked beans when we were being indecisive on sides. The tea here is excellent, as a southern BBQ place ought to be. For the food, I'm just gonna run it down list style: Brisket - A - Tender, solid smokey flavor, juicy, fat was rendered to a butter consistency. Only had better at Terry Black's in Austin TX. Sausage - A - Hearty smoke flavor, nice spices, nothing overpowering. Went well with a mustard sauce. Pork ribs - A+ - Succulent, gently pull right off the bone, well trimmed, offered wet or dry. Best ribs I have had in quite awhile. Mac N Cheese - A+ - Best I have had lately. Lot of effort put in, cheese rue was made, and then baked. Best of both world, crispy brown cheese on top, would be hard to beat. Cornbread - A+ - Best cornbread I have had in years. Moist, slight sweetness, pulls apart like cake, no need for butter. Sweet Potato Casserole - A+ - Tastes just like my wife's. She was with me and agreed. Lots of crispy pecan and brown sugar bark throughout, creamy sweet potato. Fried Okra - B+ - They're definitely breading and frying it themselves is the plus, but a bit bland on its own. Was really good in the ranch. Broccoli salad - B+ - A little runny, but overall quite enjoyable and a solid change up to the hearty sides. Corn pudding - A- - Excellent flavor, truly, but very runny. That said, it didn't both us much, just use a spoon! Hush puppies - C - The only thing that didn't stand out, and honestly, that's OK. In the future, we will both opt for cornbread because it was just so so good, that the pupps could not compete. All in all. This was a 6 star experience. The prices would be considered high if they were not so generous with their portions on everything, and if the food were not this tasty. We had enough left over for a 2nd meal (and even re-heated, everything was great). The truth for us now, is that we will probably make the 45 minute trip from Greensboro specifically to eat here every now and then, even with excellent options near us. GREAT JOB.

THE GOOD - the portions are gigantic, so for the things you…read morelike, you'll get a lot - the sweet potato casserole is great and like dessert -the potato salad has good flavor. I was worried from the pictures it'd be too mayonnaise heavy, but it's got a little zing to it. -cornbread is moist with good flavor -the sell a plate of sides for people like me who love sides -Mac and cheese was good THE OK -green beans are fine. The group was torn on if they were ok or bad. -chicken nachos were pretty good. The portion is huge, but all the chips at the bottom were dry -the collard greens were not the style I like, but they were tender with a smoky flavor THE NOT GOOD - shockingly, the brisket was over salted, which is tough to do. It was terrible. -the pulled pork was the worst my husband ever had. He couldn't finish it. -the hush puppies were dry From our experience, I'd come for some sides and skip the meat. TL;DR The sweet potato casserole and cornbread are stellar; skip the meat

Alrighty then! We needed a Puppy friendly spot which meant a patio was required! I'd remembered…read moretrying this place in an earlier visit to the Charlotte area, so we headed on over! We were warmly - and quickly- greeted, and perused the menu. Oh man. They had guac - freshly prepared tableside - I was smitten on the spot! Luckily hubby agreed too. Man, the guac set the tone. And it was great! I had a sweet potato beer (!) - better than expected! Hubby ordered a small plate of burnt ends with sweet potato fries (get the trend here?), and I ordered a small plate of Carolina pork with potato salad. Ok. We ate. Slowly at first, savoring every bite. Wow. And the service was spot on too! Why don't we have this restaurant at home? Seriously!

Everything about our experience at Midwood BBQ was amazing! It was our first time visiting while we…read morewere in the area, and we were blown away by both the food and the service. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and informative, helping make our first visit even better. Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal! The burnt ends were delicious, and the BBQ beans were honestly the best I've ever had. The hush puppies were also some of the best we've ever eaten! We also had the bacon-wrapped jalapeños, which were fantastic, along with the smoked chicken Caesar wrap and sweet potato fries--SO good! And let's not forget dessert! The apple bread pudding was absolutely delicious! You can tell they put a lot of care into both the food and the overall experience. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend Midwood BBQ!

Our order was taken and food prepared as we moved down the line towards the cashier. The food was absolutely delicious! The jumbo smoked wings were the BEST wings I've had in a long time. So good that we ordered wings to go as well. The turkey sandwich with slaw and pickles was really good! I usually don't eat slaw but it was good.The thick slices of turkey were juicy!

The restaurant looks new and it's very clean and organized. The staff are super helpful and friendly. You can actually smell the smokers from outside when you pull up and that's a great sign to me that the meats will have that delicious Smokey flavor. I have tried their Brisket, Jalapeño Smoked Sausage, Pulled Pork and Smoked Turkey. All of their meats are delicious and have great flavor, and I highly recommend the Brisket. Their sides aren't bad either. I've tried the Mac n Cheese, Baked Beans, Greens and Coleslaw. I enjoyed them all but I think the Baked Beans need more meat and BBQ sauce in them IMO. Their sauces are especially yummy. Try all of them and pick your favorite. I would recommend this restaurant to any visitors in town who are wanting good BBQ.
