I am definitely a fan of the Mid Wood Smokehouse. I regularly go to the Plaza Midwood location but this location is closer to my house and I was overjoyed to get some smokehouse a little closer to home.
A good friend of mine told me the Smokehouse had opened and I sprinted over... I am not sure if this location has recently opened or if they're smoker just wasn't up to par completely yet... but something was definitely different about this experience.
Don't get me wrong- the service was amazing as usual, the decor was local and lively... everything was basically great... except the Beef Brisket... now I am a beef girl and I like my beef brisket to have some fat and some char on it. But these particular slices of brisket were so smoky in flavor - my mouth literally tasted like I had ash inside my mouth. Again - don't get me wrong... the meat was tender and even juicy in spaces.. but the overwhelming char, fire, smoke taste over powered my ability to enjoy this meal.
I'm convinced this experience was some type of insane weird flawed evening - so I will return and update my review with hopefully better news about the smokehouse brisket.
Now - as for the other sides.... awesome and amazing... per my usual - mach and cheese and the hush puppies that created my love for hush puppies were amazing.
