For airport food, this was pretty good! Meat was all tasty and cooked well. The sides weren't great. BBQ corn tasted like canned corn with bbq sauce mixed in. The Mac and cheese was watery and the salad had a bunch of browned lettuce in it. The hush puppies were very good! The service is a bit odd, as they have QR codes in the table to order and pay, but halfway through us doing that someone came over to do it in person. Restaurant has a bunch of different signs on the wall and is clean. Lots of tables and a bar running down one side of the room. A better option than the other fast food places, if you have the time to sit. read more

Disclaimer....This is an "Airport " four-star. Have enjoyed Midwood's restaurant locations on previous trips to Charlotte, and had a long layover between flights so I decided to try their airport location (Terminal B). The pulled pork was excellent. I enjoy the shredded texture Midwood uses and it pairs perfectly with eastern Carolina vinegar sauce for a great plate. The plate is a large portion and served with their pickles and hush puppies, and a side of your choice. The baked beans have a good balance of sweet and heat. You will pay airport prices... but you will be paying airport prices anywhere else you choose to eat... so, if you're in the mood for bbq and have time, I definitely recommend it. read more

I really like Midwood Smokehouse, but the one in the Charlotte Douglass Airport is absolute crap. Food is terrible and the service not much better. Took forever for anyone to take my order. I thought about placing the order via the QR code, but was discouraged from doing so by the staff. Not sure why. Got the pulled pork, burnt ends and smoked sausage. All three were terrible. Only the sides were decent. Oh, and to add insult to injury, the bill was around $80, and I didn't get any adult drinks. read more

Decided to grab some breakfast from here before my flight. I ordered at the takeout area. The wait wasn't long and the good was fresh. Pretty decent for airport food. read more

Service was good. Drink orders taken right away. Food came out quick for a busy time. Typical bar scenery with stuff on the walls and plenty of tasks. We sat at a table but there were bar seats. We had over 2 hour layover and that was plenty of time to enjoy a meal. read more

I actually had Midwood twice while visiting Charlotte. Once delivered via Uber eats which limited the experience, and the next day in the airport for breakfast. The team that was working had braved winter storm Gianna to get to work and serve up deliciousness. The burnt ends /brisket and grits was a savory breakfast dream come true! The grits were piping hot and the burnt ends were smoky, seasoned, and sauced to perfection. While I won't wish to be snowed in and grounded in an airport again, this is definitely the best thing I could've ever eaten before facing that type of day! The vibe is a perfect mix of airport and a classic barbecue spot. Clean and spacious, even when it's full of hungry passengers. I believe this is a North Carolina staple and I can see why, everything was delicious on delivery as well. read more

We really enjoyed our experience. It's a nice sit down restaurant at the airport. They have booths, hightop and regular tables, and bar seating. The waitstaff were friendly and the food was good. I had the smoked turkey. It tasted fine but didn't wow me. The rely heavily on you using their BBQ sauce. It's good sauce but I would like the food to stand on its own a little better. Surprisingly, the hush puppies were pretty good. My wife had the Carolina Pork and the flavor was very good. I would recommend this dish. read more

My expectations were low -- it's airport food -- and Midwood Smokehouse at CLT mostly met them. I sat down around 10:30 hoping for breakfast, but was told they'd already switched to the lunch menu. Fine. I ordered the Smoked Turkey Plate. For an airport restaurant, the decor was kind of nice. The tables and seats, comfortable. Then the wait began. About 20-30 minutes after I ordered, the server came back to let me know the turkey wasn't ready yet. She offered to start me off with the sides. Good thing I had a long layover. But the sides weren't very good, so I didn't eat much of them. Then the turkey finally arrived... and it was delicious. Truly the surprise of the day. Perfectly seasoned and smoked, juicy and tender -- better than most non-airport BBQ I've had. They also had some good beers on tap, which helped pass the time. I can't help but wonder if the turkey was so juicy because they rushed it once they realized how long I'd been waiting. Either way, once it finally arrived, it was excellent. Overall: 2.5 stars, but since I can't give half stars, I'll call it a 3. read more

Midwood Smokehouse - Sign - Barbeque Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My boss and I stopped in because of the wonderful smell of BBQ emanating from the restaurant as we headed to our Gate. We were seated quickly near the entrance and were told that we didn't need to scan the QR code for the menu to order as they had servers running around. The place was pretty packed with people at the bar and people in the booths and the tables. They had TVs on in there, all on the same NBA game. We looked over the menu and while I was hungry, I didn't want to eat something heavy I definitely wanted to get some meat from them. I got The Roadhouse burger (chuck & brisket burger patty w/ketchup, mustard, pickles, American cheese, lettuce and tomato on a buttery bun) with sweet potato fries. He got the 1930 Cheesesteak (Thinly sliced smoked brisket w/Boar's Head White American cheese, mayo and caramelized onions on a traditional hoagie roll) with a side salad. We didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive and we dug in. My burger was pretty dang good! The patty was very juicy. You'd think that the burger was kinda small but for we it was the perfect portion. I ate that and about half of the fries and I was done. My boss ate all of his sandwich and the salad. He was thoroughly impressed with the portion and taste of his plate. Very happy we came and now I know that Midwood is a good place to stop in. read more

Do not go into this airport restaurant/bar. What a rip off. It should be illegal what they do. We ordered a Bloody Mary. We were given a menu, but the menu had no prices so we scanned the QR code on the bar top to get price. $16.99. A lot for a BM but typical for airport bar. We got the bill and were charged $23.99 each. I said to bartender, the QR code says $16.99. He said, ya those aren't accurate that's why I gave you a menu. I said menu has no prices. He said you should have asked me. I said how would I have known the QR code is not accurate? He said yea they should remove those. Seriously, a reputable company would not do this. Lots of places to have drinks/ food in CLT airport... try any of them but this one. read more

Midwood Smokehouse - Midwood Smokehouse CLT airport - Barbeque Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

During a trip where I had a quick transfer at Charlotte Airport, I was rushing down the concourse until I realized my connection was delayed so I had a little bit of extra time. The airport has a bunch of different fast food and sit down food options, I stopped at Midwood, they seemed pretty busy, I was able to get seated right away. They had various bbq options and I decided on the Burnt Ends. Burnt ends are exactly as they sound, they're usually the end pieces of roasts which usually get a lot more char than the center pieces of the meat, sometimes they can be more chewy. I enjoyed the Burnt Ends with the Carolina Vinegar BBQ Sauce, it really brings out the meat in a different way than other BBQ styles. I don't have a lot of experience with hush puppies but I liked their hush puppies too. Airport pricing inflates everything, so the pricing is more than I probably would've spent outside of an airport, but overall it was a pretty good bbq experience. read more

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the food because we were running late for our flight but the food was so good. I'm willing to take a flight back to CLT just to eat here. The service was amazing and everything was so tasty. I ordered the smoke turkey, with mac and cheese and there was something with pickles that was so good read more

Good place to stop and grab something before the next flight. The salad was great! I'd stop again read more

Absolutely one of the worst meals I've had at an airport. The BBQ and burnt ends were atrocious. Even their two sauces were horrible. The fries were dry and tasteless. Waiter was wonderful but it didn't make up for the shitty food. No one in our party of 4 liked what they got. The burger was the best but that's not an endorsement. read more

Had a layover flight in Charlotte. I was honestly kind of excited, because half the reason why I travel is for the food, and I haven't been to the Carolina in a few years. Without looking too much into the food at the airport, I was either hoping for a Bojangles or bbq food. Luckily this airport had both! My wife ended up getting Bojangles and my son and I both came here to Midwood. Coming from Texas, we had plenty of beef brisket, and when in Rome, we decided to both get their Pulled Pork Sandwich. The sandwich came with fries and was surprisingly really good. It was very filling and the pulled pork wasn't bad at all. Wasn't at smoky as I would have liked but overall not bad for "airport" food. This place will definitely be a must if I find myself in this airport again. read more

I made the trip down to terminal B on the recommendation of a fellow Yelper. I have a BBQ place i usually eat at in Charlotte. Since he travels as much as I do, I thought i would try" his place". You sit down and order here. Usually I don't have that kind of time but today I do. The service was fast, my drink was brought, I ordered my food and it was at my table in under 5 minutes. I had the pork plate with fries. The pork was good. They call it chopped but it is closer to pulled but it's good. The fries that came with it were old. Cold and hard. It was served with pickles and hush puppies. The pickles are fill and firm. Really good. Hush puppies were cooked perfectly, warm and crisp with a soft inside. The BBQ here is better than the one in the center of the airport. I would just say don't order fries. read more

Midwood Smokehouse - Pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Stopped in here for dinner during a 2 hour layover. A little nervous since it was in an airport, but it was nice to find a place to eat sitting down. I ordered the Midwood salad with pork on top. My husband got the smoked turkey with baked beans. The service was good. The food came out in a timely manner. Their salads are huge, easily could be shared. Everything was good on it, however the corn and bean mix on it almost tasted as though it was being thawed. There was a significant amount of pork on top that was very tasty. My husband said the smoked turkey was ok. Not sure why he didn't like it. I took a bite and thought it was good. He did love the baked beans. It also came with hush puppies and pickles which I thought both were great. If I have another layover I will definitely dine there again. read more

It has been a while since we have been to Midwood Smokehouse, but we were traveling and decided BBQ sounded good, even though airport locations are usually not as good as stand alone locations, and certainly more expensive. We were seated immediately and took a few minutes before we got service. It was fine as we were able to figure out what we wanted to order while we waited. We split a plate of pulled pork with sausage and macaroni and cheese. Their pulled pork is excellent with the sausage being pretty good, too. I'm very critical of mac and cheese as it is my favorite side dish. I saw on social media they had recently upgraded their mac and cheese recipe. Unfortunately, it was not upgraded. It was a very creamy mac and cheese, but it wasn't that strong in cheese flavor. So, I would get a different side. What we got was more than enough to share between the two of us. I definitely recommend Midwood, but if you have a chance to stay in Charlotte, definitely go to one of their other locations for more options and better service. read more

I was traveling back from Atlanta recently and had a layover in the Charlotte Airport. Since it was around breakfast time, I decided to try grabbing a bite at Midwood Smokehouse. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty frustrating. Originally, there was a pretty lengthy wait to be seated, which was surprising given that there weren't many people in the restaurant. The hostess also ended up being the one to serve my table... which wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't taken my order and then completely forgotten to enter my order into the restaurant system. She came back 20 minutes later asking if someone had taken my order, and I had to tell her that yes... she did. She had to ask me all over again what I had ordered. When I repeated it, it seemed to click that she had, in fact, already taken my order (fairly simply - the grits with burnt ends, as well as the passionfruit mimosa. It's not like I asked for anything special or changes). Once my order was actually ENTERED then it didn't seem to take long to actually be brought to the table; however, getting the attention of staff at the end of my meal was something that, again, felt way harder than it needed to be. As for the meal overall, everything was oddly... flavorless? Even my drink seemed especially watered down. The burnt ends themselves were the only thing with any kind of flavor, but the meat seemed fatty. TL;DR I don't expect high quality food in an airport... but given how expensive the breakfast was, I would have appreciated a little something flavor-wise. I also don't really have anything positive to say about the service, sadly. It felt like pretty much everyone in the restaurant just didn't want to be bothered. It's one of the VERY FEW times I've ever tipped under my usual 20%. I was really torn between giving this place 1 or 2 stars... and the only reason I'm giving it 2 is because the restaurant appeared to 1) be pretty clean, and 2) the kitchen staff actually started singing at one point and that was pretty adorable. If they enjoy working together? That's a great thing. I just wish the rest of the experience matched what seemed to be the atmosphere in the kitchen. read more

We sat down to a dirty table. They were out of several items. The burnt ends were so salty they were almost inedible. Some pieces were too hard to even get a fork into. The Carolina Pork was unevenly heated.The prices charged were not the same as the menu. The drink prices weren't listed. We expected that airport prices would be high, but $23.49 for an extremely weak Long Island that tasted like lemonade with a hint of coke is absurd. The waitress was eating her food a few tables over from us. As we left, half the restaurant heard her complaining about her tip. Skip this place. You are better off eating a bag of chips from the market. read more

(3/9/25) I was looking around for a place to eat tonight that's a bit more upscale than Panda Express. I happened to be walking concourse B and the wonderful smell from the kitchen drew me in. Midwood is open till 10:30pm tonight. That's plenty of time to eat the nachos libre with brisket that I ordered. The waitress seemed put out that I didn't order a cocktail. The water in the to go cup is precious. The nachos were huge, but I ate them all. Midwood is my favorite restaurant landside. read more

Midwood Smokehouse at the Airport (Gate B) never disappoints. Food is delish. Portions are plenty. Bar service is attentive always. Stop by

I've been to Midwood Smokehouse many times and tried to get something to eat at the airport. I started at the to go window and was told I couldn't place an order because the employee was in the bathroom or break. While waiting man in the kitchen was telling employees he wouldn't get them any more clean aprons. I assume he was the manager. I went to the hostess desk and had to wait while she finished playing on her phone. I took a seat, and no emoloyees made eye contact. Finally I was told to use the QR code which didn't work. I finally flagged down a server who told me the QR code isn't working. I ordered the sausage platter only to be told they were out. I ordered nachos without BBQ sauce. I was served burnt nachos with BBQ sauce. I didn't accept the order and asked them for one without sauce. The nachos were delivered cold, not even the queso was warm. No one checked on me. I would rate this location 0 stars but 0 isn't an option. read more

One star is generous. My server was nice enough but my food was cold and I told her about it. Didn't offer to bring me a new order, a hot order, which is lame. I literally had fries and a side salad so wouldn't have cost the restaurant much to make it right - just replace the fries! The other server working in my section (auburn hair in a pony tail didn't see a name) was so rude and looked straight mad. My salad was OK but there are plenty of other restaurants here at the Charlotte airport so don't waste your time here. read more

Was waiting for my next flight and wanted some breakfast. Went into Midwood to give them a try. Ohh boy which I didn't. Of course I already know anything in airports are going to be pricey but to give you a child portion along with the high price, Nooo. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and I promise you my four year old granddaughter would have still been hungry. I'm giving the 2 star for service. My waitress was very nice and understanding to my complaint to her about the food. read more

This is a full service restaurant in an airport terminal. A host greeted me and was able to sit my party of one quickly. They have a decent menu offering good barbecue options like platters of meat with sides and several sandwiches. They also offer two different lunch salads. I had the Roadhouse burger - a custom chuck & brisket blend burger patty w/ ketchup, mustard, pickles, American cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a bun. I ordered it as it comes and had it cooked medium. The patty was hefty and juicy- about 10 oz. The lettuce was a large, crisp, single leaf. The single tomato was sliced thick. The cheese got lost in the rich meat. Overall, it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best. I added crinkle cut fries that came with some seasoning. They were hot, but also limp, and not very appetizing. There is a full bar with beer, wine and soft drinks. Flatscreens had various games on. The seating was comfortable. Shout-out to the fantastic server Holly. I went at the height of lunch hour and it was busy! As a rule, I'm low maintenance and I was surprised at how often they checked up on me. I appreciated them making sure I had everything I needed, even after I paid the bill. Overall I was happy to get away from the chaotic seating at the gate. Remember you're not just paying for the food. You're also paying for the experience! read more

If you need food and a place to sit, it's a good stop. I had the smoked turkey with fries and it was pretty good! The service was quick and with pay at the table makes it an easy stop for a quick bite in between flights. Small menu but diverse enough to please all. Casual, busy but easy to dip in for a break from the heavy foot traffic in the terminal. read more

What an awesome time at Midwood smokehouse, the beer selection was amazing we ordered a flight some really good beers. Some I really didn't care for, although we didn't eat the food coming out looked and smelled amazing in the weight staff and the customers were wonderful people. I highly recommend this establishment. You might wanna reserve a table ahead of time because it's always busy. read more

Pork is too salty. Beans are way too sweet. Burnt ends are disappointing. This was a dud.

I wish we had this restaurant in my state. It was delicious! We had a great server too. It was the perfect place to stop at during our long layover. Drinks were well made and the food was great. A cute restaurant, it'll definitely be my go to place if I'm ever at this airport again! read more

So, if you happen to be at the airport with some time to kill and you are in the mood for some BBQ I have to recommend Midwood Smokehouse over some of the other BBQ joints in the airport. The prices are very reasonable. Design is roadhouse couture with lots of old fashion signs of the 50's & 60's. Service was quick. Paul our waiter was assume. We had the Roadhouse burger medium with BBQ baked beans. The beans had pulled pork mixed in which gave it an added smokey taste- yummy. The BBQ turkey plater had a very nice sized slab of turkey. If I'm ever back in Charlotte I would like to check out some of their other locations. read more

After walking around the airport within our 2 hour layover, I thought it would be good to eat something that we couldn't get at home so I chose Midwood Smokehouse for some southern BBQ. The bar and the decor looked cool so we made our way in around 8:30 PM. Unfortunately, I was wrong. We ordered two drinks: The Raspberry Palmer and the Watermelon Mai Tai. Big mistake!! The drinks took over 10 minutes to make, probably because everything is fresh, but they didn't have all of the ingredients to make the drink properly anyway. There were no garnishes in either drink and the Watermelon Mai Tai wasn't 3/4 of the way filled in a Colin's glass filled with ice. I think a key ingredient that was missing in the Mai Tai was the mint, but now for the kicker...The drinks didn't have prices on the menu so BEWARE. The Watermelon Mai Tai was $23.99 and the Rasp. Palmer was $21.29. Do Not Be Fooled, definitely not worth even $15.00 of the normal craft cocktail price. Now for the food. I ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork, for $16.99. It was supposed to come with hush puppies and one side. They didn't have the hush puppies and didn't compensate for that. They were out of the coleslaw, didn't have collard greens at this location so I opted for the baked beans. I added the burnt ends for $9.00. The pulled pork was okay, the only thing that saved it was the Coca-Cola BBQ sauce, which was amazing. The burnt ends were not crispy and they were super salty so I didn't finish them. The beans were nothing special, but the house pickles were fantastic. We also ordered a chopped salad for $10.99 and added chicken for $5.00. I don't even think I need to tell you, just look at the picture. Just a small basic salad, but the chicken was cooked and the lettuce was fresh. The airport location doesn't have ribs, the specials or the collard greens. They were also out of the 1930 steak and the hush puppies at the time that I was there. I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't good and I felt like I was robbed. With a tip, the bill was over $100 and we got 2 drinks, pulled pork and a salad. Run! read more
