Review of Molasses Smokehouse + Bar

We spent the day at Dow Gardens and found this great bbq place just a few minutes away. It is right downtown in Midland and has some outdoor seating and lot of seating inside. The whole place was spotlessly clean and smelled of wood fire and smoky goodness.

We were greeted by a smiley hostess immediately as we walked in and she sat us and two seconds later we met our server. Cody was incredible. He took such great care of me, a person with multiple food allergies and worries about dining out. He went above and beyond to assure me about my choices.

He even double checked the sauces to see if I could have any of them and brought me his phone to show me the ingredients list for the one he thought would be safe. Amazing service.

The food! I had wings and brisket and the tater tots (all of these are safe for people who are avoiding gluten, dairy or eggs...these are my allergies). The quality was great, flavor was great, portions were just right.

Pricing was more than fair and we were very very happy with our experience!

Thanks so much, Molasses! We will be back (even if it's nearly two hours' drive for us)!

And thanks to the other reviewers here—it is due to your info that I even tried this place!
