FAQs
What sauce is used in the Pork Sandwich?
The pork in Midwood Smokehouse’s Pork Sandwich is tossed in a classic Eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce. This style of sauce is known for its thin, tangy profile that penetrates the meat, enhancing its smoky flavor without overwhelming it. The result is a juicy, flavor-packed sandwich with a slightly sharp kick — ideal for BBQ purists who love bold, regional sauces.
Can I choose slaw options?
Absolutely. Midwood Smokehouse lets you customize your slaw preference to suit your taste. You can have your sandwich served with slaw on top, slaw on the side, or no slaw at all. This flexibility is perfect for those who like to control the texture and moisture level of their sandwich or simply prefer their slaw as a side.
What kind of bun is used?
The sandwich is served on a soft, buttery brioche bun, which offers a rich contrast to the tangy pork. The brioche is lightly toasted and slightly sweet, adding to the overall flavor experience. If you’re watching your gluten intake or just prefer your BBQ without bread, you can opt to have the sandwich served without the bun.
Does the sandwich come spicy?
By default, the sandwich has a tangy flavor from the vinegar-based sauce, but it also includes a dash of hot sauce to give it a subtle spicy edge. If you’re sensitive to spice or prefer a milder profile, you can simply ask for no hot sauce when placing your order. The team is happy to accommodate heat-level preferences.
Is it gluten-free?
Not entirely. The standard brioche bun contains gluten, making the default sandwich unsuitable for gluten-free diets. However, you can request the sandwich without the bun, which allows it to be adapted into a gluten-friendly version. Always inform the staff about any dietary restrictions for the safest experience.
What sides can I choose?
Midwood Smokehouse offers a generous selection of classic Southern sides to pair with your Pork Sandwich. Choices typically include crispy fries, sweet and smoky baked beans, golden hushpuppies, creamy coleslaw, rich mac & cheese, steamed broccoli, or buttery Texas toast. These options let you create a full BBQ plate tailored to your cravings.
How big is the sandwich?
The Pork Sandwich is a hearty single-portion meal, making it a satisfying choice for lunch or dinner. It features approximately 1/3 pound of slow-cooked pork, piled onto the brioche bun and topped (or not) with slaw, depending on your preference. It’s substantial enough to satisfy even big appetites without feeling overly heavy.
Can I add extra sauce?
Yes, you definitely can. Midwood Smokehouse is happy to provide extra vinegar sauce if you want a bolder flavor. You can also request additional BBQ sauces on the side — such as tomato-based, mustard-based, or spicier variations — to further personalize your sandwich or for dipping your sides.
Is it dairy-free?
Unfortunately, the standard Pork Sandwich is not dairy-free. The brioche bun contains dairy, and the slaw is typically made with a mayonnaise-based dressing that may include dairy as well. If you’re avoiding dairy, you may consider skipping both the bun and slaw, though cross-contact is still possible.
Is delivery available?
Yes! You can enjoy the Midwood Smokehouse Pork Sandwich from the comfort of your home through Midwood Smokehouse Delivery®. The restaurant partners with various food delivery apps, making it easy to get your BBQ fix whether you’re at home, the office, or anywhere else in their delivery zone.
