FAQs
What kind of brisket is used?
Midwood Smokehouse uses smoked chopped USDA Prime brisket for this sandwich. The brisket is slow-smoked to perfection, chopped for texture, and tossed in their signature Midwood BBQ sauce for a smoky, tangy, and rich flavor profile that sets it apart from other BBQ sandwiches.
What cheese options are available?
You can customize the sandwich with your preferred cheese. Choices include cheddar, Swiss, pimento, or blue cheese, or you can opt to go cheeseless. Each cheese adds its own flavor twist, from sharp and melty to tangy and creamy.
Can I remove toppings?
Absolutely. Guests can request no smoked red onions, skip the cheese, or modify the sandwich to their liking. Midwood Smokehouse is happy to accommodate preferences for a more tailored BBQ experience.
What kind of bread is it served on?
The brisket sandwich is served on thick-cut, buttery Texas Toast, giving it a bold, Southern-style base that holds up well to the juicy brisket and melty cheese. The toast adds a golden crunch and rich flavor with every bite.
Is it gluten-free?
No — this sandwich is not gluten-free due to the Texas Toast. However, the brisket and Midwood BBQ sauce are gluten-free, so if you’re avoiding gluten, you can request the sandwich without bread and enjoy it as a brisket platter or with gluten-free sides.
What sides are available?
Midwood Smokehouse offers a wide range of classic Southern sides, including fries, mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, hushpuppies, steamed broccoli, or extra Texas toast. These sides complement the richness of the brisket sandwich and can be selected as part of your meal combo.
How big is the sandwich?
This sandwich is hearty and generously portioned, making it a satisfying choice for either lunch or dinner. It features a substantial helping of brisket, thick bread, and cheese, so you won’t walk away hungry.
Does the pimento cheese option change the flavor much?
Yes — pimento cheese introduces a tangy, creamy, and slightly spicy Southern-style twist to the sandwich. It stands out more than cheddar or Swiss and pairs perfectly with the smoky brisket, adding richness and a unique bite.
Is it spicy?
The sandwich isn’t inherently spicy. However, the Midwood BBQ sauce has a bold smoky tang that adds flavor depth. If you want more heat, you can always ask for spicy sauce add-ons or pair it with spicier sides like jalapeño hushpuppies.
Is delivery available?
Yes — you can enjoy this sandwich from the comfort of your home by ordering via Midwood Smokehouse Delivery®. It’s available through popular delivery platforms in select locations, making it easy to get your BBQ fix fast.
