My wife and I recently moved down here and my best friend was visiting from Massachusetts. We had not tried Midwood yet but meant to, and thought this was the right time.
When we came in, the smell of delicious BBQ is present immediately. It was wonderful. They were a little backed up as they were filling a large to-go order. No big deal. The guy at the "order here" section asked if we wanted a sample of brisket while we waited. My friend and I are big BBQ fans and would not foolishly turn down such a nice offer. After trying the sample, I immediately changed my mind about what I would order. I got a "two meat combo" of Carolina pulled pork and lean brisket with BBQ beans and mac and cheese for my sides. I've had BBQ all over the country and Midwood hangs with the best of them. The brisket was the best I've ever had. It was moist and flavorful and not fatty like other examples I've had. The red BBQ sauce was epic and I put that on everything. My wife had the chicken with cornbread and mac and cheese and my friend had Carolina pork and chicken with the mac and BBQ beans. We all ate incredibly well. This will be a regular haunt for my wife and me, and now I'm trying to convince my friend and his wife to move down to North Carolina too!
