Moe’s Original Bar B Que

HEY YALL, so anyway I would have posted a picture of my food for this place but (the fat girl in me) said no. LOL this place was AMAZING i will be back when i take another vacation to the SOUTH. If you are ever in BAMA and you wanna try some BOMB BBQ PLEASE GO HERE you will not be disappointed! #i’mout

Best BBQ I’ve ever had! Ribs fall off the bone, brisket melts like butter in your mouth. The smoke flavor is second to none. Phenomenal red sauce like nothing I’ve had back home (MA). You can’t get food like this up north. Will come back to Moe’s every time I’m in Alabama.

It looks like a dive on the outside and the inside is whatever, but I didn’t come here for décor. What I came here for, I got in BBQ Shangri-​la. The nice young lady who took my order was very nice. I gave it a chance and ordered the small rib platter with Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad. What a delicious plate I enjoyed. I don’t really have a favorite BBQ place as I’ve eaten at many of them, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses, but for the price, this place was well worth every cent. I will be returning and trying something different or just keep the ribs coming.

Moe’s Original Bar-​B-​Que was our first choice for dinner while traveling thur the area, unfortunately our first choice was the restaurant located at 701 Spring Hill Ave, Mobile, AL and after finding it impossible to find a parking spot within a reasonable walking distance and after circling the block a few times we decided to move on to their second location that was still in front of us east bound. So we made the short jog off I-​10 and after only a few minutes we found the parking lot off a side street behind a strip mall in a small wooded area that was somewhat dark but turned out to be fine.
After walking thru the patio area and passing the bar which is connected to the restaurant but separate, we opened the door to find a nice clean restaurant that is broken into multiple small rooms. The counter at the entrance to the restaurant is for ordering and the next room over has the counter to pickup your order, so it’s self serve, you know the drill get your cup when placing your order and wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. The process is painless and well worth the minimum effort.
After about 10 minutes we had two beautifully assembled plates of food in front of us. The staff here is really friendly and polite and can answer any questions you have and pretty much put together any combination you like so I rate the customer service as excellent. The side dishes are all homemade and all the ones we chose we outstanding.
Pork Ribs — ordered without the sauce were fall off the bone tender and were the St. Louis cut which I prefer if they’re done right which these were. They had a light dry rub with a smokey flavor that only comes from cooking using real wood, very meaty and delicious.
Smoked Turkey — very moist, sliced to the perfect thickness, light smokey flavor with a very good peppery rub on the edges I absolutely thought this choice was amazing.
Dry Rubbed Wings — the picture says it all perfectly grilled (this is a true BBQ joint so no breading thankfully) the dry rub has a hint of sweetness that is almost magical when combined with the flavor of the smokey wood grill, these were some of the best wings I’ve experience in quite sometime.
Sides — like I stated before «all homemade» and all the ones we tried were incredible — Mac and Cheese was maybe the best I’ve ever eaten in any restaurant. — Turnip Greens — chopped, seasoned and cooked very tender add some of the bottled peppered vinegar and it’s heavenly. — Broccoli Salad — a combination of chopped broccoli, smokey bacon, raisins, pecan, red onions all folded together with a light sweet dressing yum! — Squash Casserole — I guess this is consider one of those house specialties as it should be but could have been a little warmer. — Cornbread — not your typical cornbread it was a little dense but moist and super flavorful with corn and jalapeño and yes toasted a must try.
BBQ Sauce — there is one sauce and it’s a pretty solid recipe just a hint of sweetness, peppery, considered mild I’d say but finishes with a slight spiciness it’s really complex, interesting and very tasty.
This is southern Alabama so you’ll find lots of good BBQ of many varieties but sometime you find «the real thing» Moe’s is place you will want to try…

Moe’s has the yummiest food!
The smoked chicken sandwich and the wings (all flavors) are my favorite. You really can’t go wrong with anything you get though.

Great barbecue and good atmosphere. They have a nice beer selection, too. Ordered the ribs and they were perfectly cooked. Really nice barbecue joint. Will definitely be coming back.

Love me some Moe’s BBQ. I have particularly favoring the Moe’s Salad. Everything is FRESH and LOCAL! Their smoked turkey is So delecious and full of flavor. Chicken and ribs are on par. Favorite sides are the hashbrown casserole, mac n cheese, their cornbread… OMG. we order take out but dining in is great too with outdoor seating, pet friendly and live music.

There is Texas bbq… There is Memphis bbq… But this is the best example of south east bbq! Definitely the best in this area.

I like their outside bar and patio. I am all about tipping well for good service, but not sure why they request tips here when you walk up to place your order, get your own drinks, pick up your own food from the window, and then clear your table when you are through. Haven’t had great luck with a friendly face taking my order, but it is quick, convenient, and the food is always great. Smoked wings are worth going there for, especially when they are on happy hour. Wish they had Bleu cheese, they serve them with white bbq sauce.

This place was pretty good. We got the sampler which consisted of some tasty ribs, pulled pork, AWESOME corn bread, jumbalaya, smoked turkey, green beans, smoked chicken ribs and breast, and wings. This huge plate fed my little family of 3 and had us quite full!

Found myself wanting non sweat dripping bbq after trying a chain restaurant named Dickeys. I came here with my girlfriends, and was treated to awesome bbq. I koved it so much I picked up my husband up some. Thank you moes for treating me right.

This is a good place to go in Daphne. It’s not fancy but it is fun. The BBQ and wings are good and there are plenty of beers to choose. Our kickball team has been meeting here on Thursday nights after the game for years and it’s a great hangout spot in Daphne. It is the kind of place where people can bring their dog and sit outside.

Let this go down in my Unilocal history, that to date, that Review #142 has been the most painful to write. To sum it up, after all the smack I talk about not eating what is called BBQ around here, I have to swallow my pride (gulp) and admit that … I like Moe’s. (Slowly exhale). My husband kept on me to try Moe’s because he likes that he can smell smoke when we pass it. I finally gave in and gave it a try.
The atmosphere is definitely worthy of 5 stars. No BBQ place in Memphis could compete with the atmosphere and location. Best of all, the patio is pet friendly! Jazzy will be so happy she gets to tag along next time!
The food, well honestly, it was pretty good. The meat had a nice pink smoke ring, wasn’t dry and had a great smoky flavor. I opted for just the white BBQ sauce to try something new. I think it was the right choice. The hubs got the red sauce, which was a little too thin and had too much vinegar for my taste. They have an extensive selection of sides and beer. As my sides, I ordered dressing, which had more of a stuffing texture, and mashed potato casserole, which was excellent. My son had the potato salad and it was definitely the best choice. The texture and flavor were both impeccable. On my second visit, I had the shrimp Moe-​boy, which is shrimp fried in a catfish batter with slaw on a toasted bun. It’s not huge, but it is absolutely delicious. Maybe someday we’ll try the ribs, but since I’m married to the absolute best pittmaster I know, I’ll have to work my way up to restaurant ribs.
Three sandwiches with two sides each and three drinks set us back about $ 30. That price made it even better.
Now, that wasn’t so hard. I’m actually already looking forward to our next visit to Moe’s, with our sweet pup of course.

This was our first time here. We stopped off on our way home from a long drive. We were welcomed with a smile. The atmosphere is cool! We ordered the big sampler plate to share and everything was delicious. Perfect flavor and tenderness! I will return here. If I could improve one thing, a better drink selection in the dining area would be nice.

Way super-​serious yuck!!!
This was not my first time at Moe’s and I love the location and even the atmosphere. It was a beautiful day and since I had errands in the area I decided to pick up a late lunch to take down the road to the Bay.
First the woman that took my order was not pleasant at all.
When I walked back in to pick up my food a man was on the phone shopping hard for paper to-​go bags. Once he ended that conversation and brought me my order he asked if I wanted a bag. I was afraid to say «yes» for fear of upsetting him about the vendor situation! So he handed me the container and sent me on my way — no utensils, napkins — nothing.
About two minutes later I was on the pier, after using my trunk picnic supplies, about to eat a fairly heavy meal.
There was not one edible bite in that styrofoam!
I ordered the small ribs with two sides. The wrong two sides were on the plate. One was mac-​n-​cheese that was cold and had a stiff piece of velveeta cheese on top. The second was broccoli and cheese that was just gross. It was milky, runny and old. But — how can I ignore the ribs?
Mind you I lived in Memphis for a couple of decades and was on a Memphis in May BBQ for five years. But let’s just pretend SPAM is something I consider tasty…
Compared to these four ribs I would eat SPAM covered in Mayo before I would take another bite of what I bought for $ 13. All four of the ribs were of poor quality and covered in fat and membrane. Now we all know this cut of meat needs fat to create the flavor and taste, but I am talking about THICK layers of fat on the outer surface. It and the membrane should have been removed before the ribs were seasoned. Oh yeah — they missed that part too but seemed to be fine letting them overcook in a smoker. Lazy!
Then, they were old, dry and one of the bites I could not chew enough to shallow. Hopefully the fish in Mobile Bay are able to handle the food better than I was able.
There was no dry rub on the meat. The sauce was perhaps the worse I have ever had — perhaps 45% ketchup.
There was a strange piece of bread that was fresh. It was very over-​buttered and a cross between bread and a corn muffin.
So add up bad service, an incorrect order, no utensils and some of the worse food I have eaten in years and you are lucky to have a star at all.

Outstanding bbq! It’s hard to find if you don’t know where to look but the bbq is legit. Their sides are pretty good too, especially the mac and cheese, although the coleslaw was not the best.

Outstanding wings. Good selection on a variety of smoked foods. We often order out and find the staff very friendly.

ABSOLUTELY, the best BBQ in Mobile and Baldwin county in my opinion. This place is very consistent. i’ve eaten here a half dozen times and have never been disappointed.

Really chill place in sort of an isolated area.
I tried the combo with smoked chicken and fried catfish.
Chicken was ok, I kind of expected more out of a bbq place. The real stand out was the catfish, which tasted really fresh and meat-​y.
The thing that really got me about this place though was the Mac N’ Cheese side. It was surprisingly really good, not too cheesy and I don’t think I would ever get sick of eating it.
I wouldn’t mind eating here again if i was in the area.

Went there last night (Wednesday, May 27), the Q is ok, half-​decent at best really. But the atmosphere is great.
I’ve also been there a few times to just have a drink and listen to the bands play on the deck and it is a good place for that.
