What I appreciated most was the balance. The service never felt overbearing, so we could relax, enjoy our dinner, and have our own space, while still feeling completely taken care of. Trevor was especially good at anticipating what we might need and checking in at just the right moments, often noticing something before we even had to ask. Everyone we encountered throughout the evening was pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the entire experience feel effortless. I left genuinely impressed with the level of service and will definitely be back. Trevor and the rest of the team made an already great dinner that much better.

Made a reservation online using open table. It was very simple and easy to navigate. Called the…read morerestaurant on the day of the reservation stating we were running 15 min behind and that our number has decreased by 2. Not an issue, got thanked for the update. It wasnt that busy at the time of our arrival. There were a lot of tables and the noise level was quiet. The host was nice and sat us not too long after we arrived. The table that we got sat at was extremely wobbly. My father-in-law noticed another table had napkins placed underneath to stabilize so he did the same to our table and it worked. Tara took our order and brought out the drinks. The food was 90% great! The 10% that fell short was a combination of things. 1) menu online and the physical menu said corn bread (which we were told no longer serves them). If its no longer available, update the menu because we were excited to try the corn bread. 2) a bbq place with no wet naps, that is really weird. However, they did bring me a stack of paper towels that were wet as if they were wet naps. 3) only 1 steak knife was provided in the platters. It was hard for a party of 6 to cut up meat with only 1 steak knife. 4) one of the sides came out cold, and hard. I bit into a macaroni and it felt raw because of how hard it was! I even dropped the macaroni on the plate and it rang! We brought it to the servers attention and we were able to get a fresh one free of charge. We loved the short ribs and the tomahawk steak! They were delicious. Baked potato as a side item was very large! During the whole time we were eating, no one came by to check on us, refills were not provided until after we were done eating. We never got one of the drinks that Tara wrote down and it showed up on the check. I was trying to get a staff members attention, and my hand was raised up, and there were hosts that saw my hand raised, but did nothing. There were other servers and runners that saw it too. Took a while for us to get any help. We eventually flagged down our server after what felt like 5 minutes. We brought the charge to our servers attention, and they corrected that too. Overall, the table service could have been a lot better, fix broken tables, and I suggest you bring your own wet naps or baby wipes because they dont supply any.

Moo's Craft is the best BBQ in LA, hands down! I frequent Austin, Texas and I always make it my…read moremission to try the most talked about BBQ joints, often going as far out as Lockhart. I've also eaten BBQ all over the South, hitting up the legends in places like Kansas City. In addition to eating it often, I also have been cooking BBQ for nearly a decade myself. This is why I can say with confidence that Moo's Craft is the best BBQ in Los Angeles and rivals some of the best BBQ found in the cities known best for it. Their brisket is excellent; moist with balanced flavor and a dark smoke ring. Their pork ribs are exceptional. The Thicc smoked brisket burger is worth the trip even if you don't go for traditional BBQ. Oh, and their brisket burnt ends are a MUST if they're on the menu. I've been to Moo's Craft both on a weekend and on weekdays. There was a line on the weekend but it moved quickly. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean and cozy. They also have a huge selection of beer. I always go for a Belgian style. I have not tried their legendary pastrami beef rib yet but I can assure you that I will not stop until I get one. I wish Moo's Craft continued success! They deserve all the attention they've been getting!

I have been wanting to try Moo for awhile now... it was OK, but not great…read more We went in for a late lunch on a Friday, short line, food arrived quickly -- awesome! I ordered Brisket, Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Mac and Cheese, Slaw, Chili Cheese Fries and a Banana pudding. All of this came to about $90 - about on par for BBQ for two IMO. While all the food seemed to be high quality and well prepared, I was left flat by the overall lack of flavor. It all looked like it would have tasted amazing, but it was mostly bland. Most disappointing was the Brisket -- looked great but had no flavor at all.... tasted as if it had been boiled (no smokey flavor at all). The Mac and Slaw were the same -- looked good, no flavor. Standout was the Sausage, had some flavor but was also over salted (to the point it gave me a headache and I couldn't finish it). Value - We kept comparing it to Dickies BBQ, and that some dishes were better... as such, the value was poor in our opinion. While I am glad I got around to trying Moo's (maybe it was an off day there?) I don't think I'll be heading back.

The dining room was pretty empty but I was eyeballing the patio section (cuz I WILL be coming back)! I didn't realize it was counter ordering, (which sometimes gives me a sense of pressure cuz I like to take my time reviewing every item on the menu first), but luckily there were folks in front of us and nobody behind us (so I had a little time). I ordered the brisket grilled cheese and waffle fries, while my husband had the Nashville hot chicken fries. They had a BOGO deal on beer (he approved of the Mexican Lager) and I had the strawberry lemonade. Everything was amazing and the workers were really nice. We'll be back!!

I am not a big meat/BBQ person but I had ordered quite a few items on the menu to take home for dinner and they were very well received by my boys at home. I have also tried the Grilled Chopped Chicken Salad, which is pretty huge, satisfying, and full of goodies (though I am not a huge fan of salad dressing generally and did not use the dressing so I express no opinion on the sauce). The rice crispy treat was pretty great as well, the chocolates were amazing. The brussels slaw, mac & cheese and beans were all pretty good as well. My son's favorite meat is the pulled pork, following by the tri-tip. My husband likes the ribs and chicken. I thought the hot links were pretty good but may be a bit too spicy for my boys. The BBQ sauces are very good and not overly sweet. They even have the beyond burger/vegetarian/vegan options. Not only the food is tasty, I find them to be of high quality and good value for Santa Monica standard. Will add it to one of my regular places to bring dinner home.
