“We LOVE Texas Road House but stopped going because it is so noisy you can't hear yourself talk. Tried it today for lunch (got there when they first opened) and it was AMAZING! Mary was our waitress and if I could give her 50 stars I would. She was that good and in fact, she was the best waitress we have EVER had and made the whole experience perfect! The steaks were absolutely perfect as were the sides. I just wish they had a closed off area for people who hate the loud music.“

“Great steakhouse, great service. We had a great waitress today,sweet girl and this was at lunch today.I think my dad may have scared her for making a mistake on the bill,young people like her have a lot of stress these days. Please don't fire her for a little mistake like that.we had a great waitress today but our steak's were tough to eat. They weren't what what the waitress put on the bill. The kitchen mad the mistake not her . She was sweet as she could be.“

The bathroom was clean, and you don't see that often at other restaurants. Now I have to honestly say the Mamosa was just Orange juice. But we didn't complain due to the good service we had overall.“

Of course the burnt ends were by far the best meat they offered. Our server recommended the broccoli casserole which was delicious! The bacon-wrapped jalapenos were delicious as well! We found the Banana pudding to be too sweet. Restaurant was clean. Service was great. Highly recommend the burnt ends!“

“I had not previously had BBQ in North Carolina. So I did my homework, both on styles and local restaurants (plus if they were open on a Monday evening). That led me to Midwood Smokehouse, and it was definitely the right choice for us. It was a great experience all-around, made even better by quality service and banter with our waiter, Tom. Drinks were a tough choice here (not in a bad way), and we did not immediately realize that there was a QR code on the menu to scan their whiskey pour menu. Since Monday was discounted cocktails night, we split our drink order between cocktails and pours. I was pleasantly surprised to see a less common bourbon, Jefferson's Ocean, available here at a reasonable price. Your food comes out quickly. Since we ordered dry meats (lean brisket and St. Louis dry rubbed ribs), we were given all the sauces from which to choose, which included the North Carolina regionals, their own, and a South Carolina spicy mustard. Honestly, the meats were so well prepared these were not necessary, but we tried every one of them anyway, and we enjoyed all of them. A couple of tips: (1) add a little salt to your collards, it will improve the flavor. (2) Try dipping your Hush Puppies in the South Carolina mustard. By the way, these were unquestionably the best Hush Puppies I've ever had - so many places in the Northeast need to cook them a tad more, thus they are more like Mush Puppies. This was a great first experience venturing into local "bbq territory."“

“Wow. First off service was very southern and hospitable. The waitress made an effort to check in and give suggestions as it was out first time. She even went over the different sauces that were on the table! The food was great as well. Our appetizer was the chicarrons and they were still sizzlings, so extra pints on that. We got a meat bbq platter and the salmon meal. Both had their fare share of salt but I enjoyed the experience of North Carolina bbq. The aesthetic of the restaurant also makes this place memorable. You have the history in the building and nice spot in the center of town.“

Apostle 'Que Mobile caterer •
Langdon Terrace Dr, Indian Trail - 6.9 miles

“I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Apostle 'Que’s menu several times, and I can't help but share my amazing experience with everyone. From the mouthwatering food to the exceptional staff, my experiences are always fantastic.The first thing that will strike you as you approach the food truck is the aroma. The scent of smoky, barbecued goodness. As soon as you step up to the window, you’re greeted by a friendly face ready to take your order. It’ll be hard to narrow it down, but I highly recommend the brisket plate as it gives you a bit of everything. You can’t go wrong with any of the BBQ (I’ve had the pork and ribs too), but I prefer a plate as it come with all the sides.What truly sets Apostle 'Que apart is its exceptional crew and their mission. The staff are not just friendly and attentive; they genuinely care about your dining experience. They are always more than happy to explain the menu they have for that specific day, make recommendations, and ensure that your needs are met (within reason - it’s a BBQ place y’all, don’t come expecting extensive vegan and vegetarian options). Their passion for their craft and dedication to customer satisfaction are evident, and they’re just genuinely good people. Have you heard about their Que it Forward program? Need I say more?I’ll end by saying, if you're on the hunt for incredible BBQ, crafted by owners and staff that go above and beyond, look no further than Apostle 'Que. The combination of amazing food and a staff that treats you like family makes it a must-visit for barbecue enthusiasts and anyone looking for a memorable meal.Be sure to follow them on social and stop in to see them when they pull into a neighborhood near you!“

“On our trip in North Carolina we had lunch at City BBQ . I have had my share of good BBQ which I just did a review on a location in West Palm Beach but am sorry to say that Florida BBQ has nothing on North Carolina BBQ. It was very delicious, tender, and juicy. The smoky taste was so on point. We have a Brisket sandwich, Brisket, ribs, smoked turkey, garlic toast, fries and okra. Everything was delicious. Only complaint was the fries was a bit too salty but still tasty. They have different sauces to choose. Can't wait to go back. Can't stop thinking of that smoke turkey..“

“Very well made. I’d say this is “medium-to-advanced” level bbq, as opposed to, say the overly-salty or sweet “popular” taste of some other places. The pork is moist, which I imagine is not easy to achieve. The relatively dry brisket feels more like a stylistic choice than anything else. The taste of flavorful smoke is present throughout. Only reason for the four star is coz this is not necessarily perfectly to my taste, not being from here, but I can recognize good cooking. (My dining companion ate all the ribs so I have no direct opinion on it)“

“Excellent, memorable. I am a "fried chicken snob" and this is the best I've had in a long time. And the collards were the real deal too. This is a small take out place with two tables outside. It takes a while for the food to come out because they are a cook to order place. This is likely why the food is so good but plan on waiting about 20 minutes. Or order ahead. The folks were very welcoming. And again... the chicken was excellent.“

“Today(March 15), I order Brisket $15. Honest opinion it was not Memphis/Texas Style for which I'm accustomed too.Dry, dry, dry.....not moist. Not savory. I don't know maybe I'm expecting too much. ?For those of us that know Brisket there's a certain period when it's not cooked properly where it can become "Roast" that's what it came close too......again maybe I'm expecting too much.For $15 I got 2.....two small pieces for $15 ?Coming from Memphis/Texas style of BBQ, I'm quite quite disappointed....The fries I ordered was awesome.Overall 3 out of 10. They have pork, turkey, and wings but I'm honestly not wanting too give that amount of money again for that again.Lastly the Sweet Tea tasted like it had sat there and been forgotten about. A twangy type taste. Again ?....maybe I'm expecting too muchUnfortunately I will not be back ?“

“Not just a food truck! The restaurant is in Hemby Bridge. Wish I had known about it when it was in downtown Monroe.Stopped by to try it out last evening. By far the best BBQ and ribs I've had in NC. I had pulled pork and ribs, tater salad and slaw. The meat was cooked to perfection, moist and tender. The sweet sauce is a perfect compliment to the meat though it doesn't really need sauce. The tater salad was deliciously to die for, wish I could make it like that. The slaw she makes her own mayo based mixture and it is right tasty as well. Portions are generous...think generous not glutton lol. Owners were there and were really personable outgoing folks. I will be back soon and will make another review on whatever I eat then. Note..I did not make a happy plate took some home. The picture of my plate there is pulled pork under those ribs.“
