Good bbq, great chicken stew and fantastic sweet potato casserole. Only problem is they don't come to Gaffney enough.
Best BBQ around! This is a well run establishment. Very friendly and efficient. A true gem in Buffalo, SC.
Good food for a reasonable price. Service is always quick. Family style seating. Menu seems to change daily, according to availability.
Service and food were amazing!! We both had pulled pork, beans, and sweet potato casserole. All were great. Corn bread was a little too dry for our taste.
Best meat around at their butcher shop-- haven't had enough of their dine-in experience to rate them but I hear a lot of great things and they are packed at peak lunch hours everyday.
Nothing has changed in the 50+ years of eating their hash and bbq. The taste of Midway's hash reminds me of what great hash should taste like. The pulled pork is still amazing as well. I love that you're still rocking the red and white table cloths too! Keep being awesome! America this is real bbq!
Our eighth 'cue stop in South Carolina took us to one of the citadels of the state's rich barbecue history. Here you order and pick up at the counter. At 1:15 in the afternoon, the restaurant was very busy, doing an especially robust take-out trade. For $20, we received two trays-- beef hash with sides of cornbread, butter beans, mac 'n cheese and broccoli, and beef hash and pork with fried okra and mac 'n cheese. Two refillable iced teas and a banana pudding completed the order. The well seasoned pork doesn't need saucing, but goes well with both the vinegar and mustard sauces on the table. The beef hash is a South Carolina staple, and you really want to experience it here. We would skip the okra (overdone) and cornbread (very, very dry), but the broccoli, butter beans and mac 'n cheese were all first class. The banana pudding, which is on the sweet side, definitely requires a spoon! Still, it's a pleasant finish.
Good food. Delicious BBQ. Meat and 3 daily. Best Pork skins I've ever eaten. Always busy. Large dine in dining room. Friendly staff
While googling recipes for chicken stew I came across a 2016 Cook's Country magazine article about Midway BBq's chicken stew. The more I read about it the more I decided that rather than make my own, I wanted to try theirs. So the next Saturday I hopped into my car and drove five hours from my home in Birmingham, AL to see if it was as good as the magazine said it was. Spoiler alert: it is. I ordered some stew and, because I'd never had it before (or even heard of it), some beef hash. I finished it off with some macaroni pie. The stew comes with a half sleeve of saltine crackers, which is a nice touch. After the first bite I saw why this stew deserved the write-up in the magazine. It is delicious. I took a few spoonsful just the way it came, then crumbled some crackers in it and added a bit of pepper, which is how my grandma served her chicken stew to me when I was a little boy. I'm glad I had a few crackers left because they came in handy when I got to the hash. I don't know if you're supposed to eat the hash with crackers or not. I tried it both ways. I We have good BBQ in Alabama. Heck, we have great barbecue in Alabama. But none of our bbq joints have anything like the chicken stew and "beef hash" on the menu. I don't know if other local eateries in SC have these items. Maybe y'all are used to it, but I sure wish the local bbq places here would add it to the menu--though I doubt it would be as good as Midway's. While I was eating the owner came over and said that as long as I drove 5 and half hours I ought to get more than stew and hash for my trouble. He dropped off some sweet potatoes and banana pudding at the table. Oh man! The sweet potatoes! The banana pudding was good, but I've had good banana pudding before. I've even had good sweet potatoes before but those sweet potatoes weren't good they were great. that yummy crunchy topping---wow. Before I left I bought three quarts of (frozen) stew and one quart of (frozen) hash to take back to Birmingham with me. I only wish I'd thought to bring some of those sweet potatoes, too.
