I had an excellent experience here today, stopped in after getting some blood work done at the UVA hospital. THE SMELL is what hits you first, my mouth was watering before I even read the menu. It’s a fast casual order at the front and pick up your food from a window to take to a table (indoor and outdoor seating was available). We were just stopping in for a quick lunch so we each got the pulled pork sandwich with slaw and two sides (potato salad and mac and cheese for me). This is by far the BEST mac and cheese I’ve ever had from a BBQ place, baked but not too dry, still lots of cheese. And the pork was so fall apart tender, almost didn’t need sauce with it, but the house made BBQ is a perfect sweet and spicy you’ll want to drown it anyway. I was nervous when it first came out thag the portions wouldnt be filling enough, but i barely finoshed half my meal before I needed a box to take it home. We also ordered some corn bread just to sample a little more from their menu, and it’s made with pieces of jalapeños inside. Delicious, but maybe not the jiffy your kids are used to so I’d cation parents on that. Regretted passing over the ribs after everything as they looked AMAZING. Overall my fiance and I had a wonderful experience. We’ll definately be back the next time we find ourselves in Charlottesville.

Petey made us feel at home the moment we walked in the door. Extremely friendly and recommended things on the menu. Also have us pointers on things to do with the kids nearby. The food is to die for! Everything from the meat to the sides was absolutely delicious. The banana pudding is also wonderful and has a hit of cinnamon. Definitely home made. We will be returning customers.

Absolutely delicious food and great hospitality! The meat was so juicy and tender it didn’t even need BBQ sauce, and the mac and cheese was the stuff of dreams. The banana pudding was the perfect way to wrap up a meal. SO good.

In the old Dragon Lady venue..have had Mo’s many times before at office meetings…this time I ordered takeout for Burger Week online ..website said sides would be $2 to go with burger but all I could find was the 3 sides for $8…guess they forgot to add the Burger Week price on the online menu. Picked up my order .it was ready to go with my name on it but the lady coming in said to check my order because they messed hers up ..my order was correct…the Burger was interesting .almost like a meatloaf..spiced with bacon and an onion rings on top…the sides delicious..baked beans..Mac& cheese..potato salad .hey Mo’s try to get Riverside’s potato salad recipe and you will be top notch on this side…all in all a great place to pick up or eat in…

This use to be one of the best places to go and grab lunch. The last 3 times I’ve gone the food has not been good at all. Their smoked wings were famously good. Now they are so dry they basically taste like shoe leather. The Mac and cheese is the same super dry. Something has changed with this place. But I’ve tried on three different occasions and every time it’s been awful.

Delicious! Catfish was perfectly seasoned and breaded. Ribs were tender. Sides and cornbread so good. Sweet tea just right. Would eat there again when back in town!

Staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Chance was incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide me thru the menu. Greg from the kitchen came to check and make sure I was having the best experience possible. Above and beyond from both of these fellas.

We used Moe’s to cater a graduation party and they were fantastic. From super fast turnaround on their initial proposal to delivery and set-up the customer service was top notch. And to top it off, the turkey and pork barbecue were the best we have had. Great food, great service, all at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Catering manager Abbie and Moe’s will be our go to vendor for barbecue events moving forward.

So good! The place was clean! The aroma of smoked goodness hit my wife and I as soon as we walked in. The brisket and the wings showcased amazing natural smoked flavor! The meats were moist! Even the Mac and cheese and banana pudding had a great authentic flavor. Easy 5 stars! We’ll be back for sure!
