About the Job
Restaurant Assistant Manager | Midwood Smokehouse
Midwood Smokehouse was first born in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2012. Founder Frank Scibelli was inspired by the traditional Texas-style barbecue and decided to bring it to Charlotte.
The restaurant quickly gained popularity with its slow-cooked meats, homemade sides, and signature cocktails. In 2014, Midwood Smokehouse was recognized by Southern Living magazine as one of the best barbecue restaurants in the South!
Today, Midwood Smokehouse remains a popular destination for barbecue lovers in Charlotte and beyond, thanks to its dedication to authentic, slow-cooked meats and commitment to giving back to the community.
