Doesn't compare to Mac's Speed Shop. My first visit went well, a lazy Sunday afternoon with a couple buddies when they weren't too busy. The menu looks really good but the pulled pork I ordered didn't stand up to Mac's. My buddy liked it better than Mac's, but I think he's biased since he lives 2 miles from Midwood Smokehouse (to be honest, I live 2 miles away from Mac's).
My second visit was a complete disaster. Originally planned to go to Mac's this past Friday (Jun 24) with 5 out-of-town buddies plus 2 others, and got talked into changing to Midwood Smokehouse (same buddy as above).
While their menu states they may run out of bbq from time to time (never seen a restaurant advertise running out of food before, but whatever), they were out of pulled pork bbq on Friday night at 8:00, and also out of bacon wrapped jalepenos (gotta love the south, they wrap everything in bacon).
I ordered a rack of ribs to compare to Mac's and they tasted like they were cooked in the oven as they had zero smoke flavor. The bbq sauce didn't help at all, too bland. The waiter hooked us up with wings since they were out of pork bbq and the wings were supposedly smoked but had zero flavor. No rub, no sauce, no nothin. The mac & cheese however was very good (close to Mac's).
I tried my buddy's sausage and it was dry and tasted like cardboard. Midwood Smokehouse has been open for only 2 months, hopefully they step up their game!
