  • Nothing that blew our minds away, but good BBQ all the way around. My wife and I dropped in on a Tuesday at about 9pm and the restaurant still had quite a few customers, but there were also plenty of empty tables. We were immediately seated by the hostess and waited on. As tourists of the area, Midwood was actually our backup choice for BBQ in the city as we were hoping to try Lexington Barbecue, which was about 40 minutes north, since we had read about its authenticity to the region, but it was closed. On top of it, we had read that Midwood was Texas-style BBQ and not Carolina-style, so we were really hoping for Lexington to be open. With all that said, we saw all of the rave reviews for Midwood (4.5 stars from 1100+ Yelp reviews) and the fact that Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton had dropped in, so we thought it had to be somewhat good, even if it wasn't representative of North Carolina. After a review of the menu, we went with a combo platter of Carolina chopped pork, beef brisket, chopped chicken BBQ and hickory smoked sausage, and a classic BBQ plate of burnt ends. For our sides, we had the hushpuppies, classic mac & cheese, coleslaw and BBQ baked beans. Like I said earlier, everything was good, but nothing was interstellar ridiculously great. The real standouts to us were definitely the brisket, burnt ends and sides. The brisket was very tender and juicy. The burnt ends were fatty on one end and meaty on the other, just the way we like them. We loved all of the sides, not much to complain about there. The sausage was also good, but nothing to write home about. As for the chopped (pulled) pork and the chopped chicken, they were a bit dry, but that was to be expected considering what type of meat they were, so make sure to douse them in lots of the house BBQ sauce. In closing, we liked the down to the Earth atmosphere inside and the modern BBQ restaurant setting. Our waitress wasn't extremely friendly, but she wasn't rude either. They just did their job as expected. Also, other waiters who were wrapping up for the evening passed by during our meal and made small talk so that was appreciated. We just wish we were a bit more enthusiastic about the food after our visit.
