Midwood Smokehouse

Wow. The server really took care of me. My food came out with hush puppies with it after I explained that I was Celiac. Before I even said anything, the server apologized, grabbed the food and went to the kitchen to have it remade. It took a little while for the new food to come out, and the manager came to check on me. I didn't expect it, but they comp'ed my food. It was an honest mistake, but they treated it seriously and I'm so grateful. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All of their meats are safe to eat. Other than that, not a huge GF menu and items to pick from. I usually stick with their Midwood Chopped salad and have had zero issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really good!! I got the sausage, smoked veggies and bacon wrapped jalapeños. Didn’t get sick. It’s annoying that their coleslaw and baked beans are not gluten free though, like really guys...? You almost have to go out of your way to make those things NOT gluten free.

Really delicious food. I'm not a fan of BBQ but I already want to go back it was that good.

Most of the meats are safe, several sides and the bacon wrapped jalapeños are delicious! Just make sure to get the fat free ranch - the regular ranch is not GF

All their proteins are gluten free with a choice of 3 or 4 gluten free sides. Delicious Carolina shredded pork! Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Server was knowledgeable. Food was great. Lots of options!

While the bbq is delicious, warning that the gf menu is “gluten friendly “ . Waitress was fairly clueless and yes my chicken bbq came out with hush puppies- she assured me that they didn’t just take them off but made me a new plate- skeptical.

Ordered from the gluten free menu. Only ate ribs and some steamed cauliflower. Told them of my celiac. Immediately got terribly sick from gluten. Not safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

I always get the smoked wings since they are not put in the fryer (they also offer ‘crispy wings’ that are fried after being smoked so you have to clarify since fryers are contaminated). Not a ton of options but the wings are good and sauces are gf and I’ve never had a problem eating here. They also always have Wooden Robot on tap which is gluten removed beer, and they always have a cider.

The staff was nice and knowledgeable. Extensive menu. The vinegar sauce is gluten free but their barbecue sauces are not. I liked the smoked vegetables. The brisket was really fatty. It was pretty good & I appreciate their accommodations but not my favorite barbecue experience
