The take
The Take
The Vibe
Midwood Smokehouse in Concourse B reads like a focused, working-class homage to Carolina pit culture rather than a kitschy airport copy. The interior leans on exposed wood and visible smoked meats to signal its roots, and the brand’s sourcing and smoking commitments are foregrounded in the copy. The space is straightforward and unpretentious: practical counter service, clear barbecue references, and an emphasis on craft over décor theatrics. It comes across as classic and casual—a smokehouse that acknowledges its airport setting while retaining the elemental cues of regional barbecue.
Best For
This location is best for travelers who want a credible taste of Charlotte-style barbecue without leaving the terminal. It suits someone with a short layover—about forty minutes—to grab thoughtfully smoked proteins that reflect the brand’s regional sourcing and wood-smoking approach. Solo diners and business travelers looking for a quick, substantial meal before a flight will find the counter-forward format efficient. Because the operation adapts to airport volume, it’s also a practical pick for visitors who prioritize authenticity and speed over a lingering sit-down experience.
Ordering Tips
Order at the counter and follow the visible cue of smoked meats on display to guide choices. Lean into Midwood’s strengths: the signature smoked brisket, pulled pork sandwich, ribs and BBQ burnt ends are highlighted items and reflect the brand’s emphasis on regional pork supply and time-intensive wood smoking. Expect portions and presentations tailored for airport service, so pick portable options if you’re short on time. If you’re unsure, choose a classic smoked-meat plate or sandwich to experience the brand’s core approach to Carolina barbecue.

Restaurant context
How it compares at CLT and in Charlotte
Against 1897 Market, Midwood Smokehouse - CLT Airport Concourse B is the more practical choice when the gate location decides the meal. 1897 Market is the better cross-shop if the traveler wants a broader market-style stop, while Midwood is the clearer call for a more filling smokehouse-leaning airport meal.
Tequileria and Whisky River - CLT Airport Concourse E, Gate E10 make more sense when the priority is drinks or a livelier preflight atmosphere.
