| - Finally got a chance to try this place out after passing by it so many times on the way to Plaza shopping and bars. We split a large pulled pork plate and a small chopped salad. The pulled pork comes with the vinegar based sauce, but we were lucky they forgot to pour it on top so they put it on the side, and since it was my first time there, I asked to try out their other sauces. I preferred their Midwood signature, which was sweet and smokey, over the NC vinegar, but to each their own. The pork itself was just ok, as I've had better and I've had worse.
Now to the sides. We tried the bacon wrapped jalapenos and the bbq baked beans. The jalapenos were good with cheese inside, but the bacon was just too fatty as it was all baked together and didn't cook enough. I was also wary of the baked beans since I know many places who just open up a can and serve. Theirs were cooked right with some pieces of meat in it, making it very tasty. I would definitely recommend the beans to any barbecue fan.
Overall, the service was pretty good, as our server was keen to help us with the menu and seemed knowledgeable. We came at an off-hour during the week, so I can't speak to the crowds here, but I can see an issue if the cramped parking lot that writhes around the building gets packed. Will come back to try their other entrees and sandwiches!
