I've sampled my fair share of barbeque from many different styles up and down the east coast and out west as well and Midwood Smokehouse can definitely compete with these guys.
This place was already filling up 11:45 am on a Friday morning. It was a beautiful day so we snagged a spot on the outdoor patio and immediately start gawking at all the delicious-looking plates around us.
I decided on the blue cheese brisket sandwiched served between two pieces of Texas toast and the boyfriend ordered the half rack f rib special but substituted the BBQ spaghetti with mac n cheese.
The sauces same out way ahead of time from the food which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine especially when you are really anxious for your meal. Of course I sampled each one alone and new exactly which combination of each I like. The mustard-based sauce and then Midwood sauce were my favorites. We were surprised how long we had to wait for our meals as barbeque usually comes out pretty quick, but to be fair, they were pretty busy.
Everything was pretty darn good. The sweet potato fries were most impressive to me (I'm very picky about my fries) and the brisket sandwich was very good as well. The ribs were not necessarily "fall off the bone" but the smoky rub was outstanding. The mac n' cheese was nothing to swoon over.
Next time I come back I'll definitely need to try a traditional pulled pork BBQ sandwich along with the delicious sweet potato fries.
