A while back my wife went to Kansas City to visit relatives, and while she was out of town, I decided to try the Midwood Smokehouse for dinner, based on what I've seen in reviews. This was the new location behind the Park Road Shopping Center.
I'm a big fan of burnt ends, and when I'm in Kansas City I always get them from one of the many excellent BBQ joints in Missouri. As I've eaten so much BBQ pork over the years brisket is nice change of pace. (BTW the best chopped pork is at Wilbur's in Goldsboro).
The brisket had so much salt it was almost inedible. I'd take a bite then drink some water. After every bite I would have to drink some water. The manager came by and asked me how everything was, and even though I don't usually complain, I did state it was over salted. He offered banana pudding but I declined. He then offered to reduce the price by half, which I accepted. He did go on to say, that this being a new location, that the kitchen may not be up to speed on cooking. North Carolina is not known for brisket or burnt ends, and this was an understatement. The Smoke Pit in Concord does a fairly decent job on burnt ends but I'll have to pass on the Midwood Smokehouse version if I should ever return. Somehow I've not been chomping at the bit to return.
