    Brisket Plate with Ranch-Style Beans #2
    Rick L.

    Last year when we drove to Port Townsend we saw this BBQ place on the way into town but decided to eat elsewhere. This time around on our annual PT visit this was our eating destination. I own a smoker and have smoked a lot of brisket, ribs and pulled pork over the years. I like to check on how the pros do it and see how my stuff compares. Mo-Chilli BBQ is a small store with outdoor picnic table seating in a fenced in area. When you get our of your car the first thing that hits your nose is delightful smoke. In fact, there's a row of of professional smokers in a covered area adjacent to the store. We placed our order at the counter and our food was served quickly on two separate trays. I ordered the Brisket Plate (a half pound of sliced brisket--your choice if it's served on a slice of white bread or not) and chose Ranch-Style Beans as my side dish, It also came with pickle slices, sliced pickled Jalapeños and what tasted like sliced sweet onions. The brisket was very good. I prefer a bit more smoke but the meat was tender, juicy and flavorful. I could see the smoke ring nestled into the meat and bark. For the price of the plate serving it was a bargain. The Ranch-Style Beans were a letdown, a bit spicy but otherwise bland. I was hoping for more of a rich, slow-cooked sauce-based flavor. Still, the brisket was the star of the show, as it should be. The BBQ sauce on the side was a killer, among the best I've had. Don't know if it was storebought or housemade but it didn't matter, it was that good. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich Combo which was , which included the side of her choice (potato chips). A heaping pile of delightful saucy, smoky pulled pork was served on a round bun along with cole slaw and sliced pickles (she declined the pickled Jalapeños). She loved the sandwich and I had to agree based on the first bite she allowed me. Tender, juicy smoky pulled pork that was way up there with the best we had. My only critique was that when I wife allowed me to finish her sandwich, the cole slaw and what I thought was a little too much BBQ sauce had made the bun soggy. I still finished it but my preference was for a sandwich with less sauce. As my wife just told me, "Strangely, there were bits where there wasn't a lot of sauce. But I still really enjoyed it." We both agreed that we'll eat here again on our next visit. They have ribs and after brisket, I always gotta try the ribs. My wife will almost certainly order the Pulled Pork Sandwich Combo again. Man, I can already smell that smoke...

    Went on a day trip to Port Townsend and heard some great reviews about this place and it was AMAZING! The workers / owners were lovely and the atmosphere was so inviting and cozy. The food was spectacular and you get alot for what you pay for. I heard they also have gluten free options available ! Ps. The brisket is a MUST get!

    The best BBQ I've had in years. Tastes even better than some of the spots I've had back home (in Texas). The staff is really friendly and the patio is warm and comforting. They sell a great product at a low price (for BBQ). It will definitely be a spot I take friends and family to when they visit. If I could give this place a hundred stars I would. Brisket is out of this world tender, ribs are amazing, the sausage is nice and juicy, the cream corn is delicious, potato salad is delightful, and the pecan bars are simply out of this world. Can't wait to come back

    Mac and cheese, pulled pork, and coleslaw. DELICIOUS!!!

    I just moved here from Florida. And I haven't been able to find barbecue for MONTHS!!! This place was fantastic! Everything tasted awesome, and I got to be reminded of home. Everyone was so friendly as well. I'm so glad I found this food gem! I will DEFINITELY be back!

    5 meat plate.

    Food was fantastic! We ordered the 5 meats plate, an extra rib and an extra side to get a good sample of their offerings. We split what we ordered between two people and were still satisfied with the portions. This is authentic Texas smoked barbecue and was delicious. Favorite was the chopped Beef brisket. Lots of flavor and juicy! Very much enjoyed it!

    Very strange hours food runs out before dinner. Maybe will update if they ever make enough food and open normal restaurant hours

    Was in town for the Wooden Boat Festival and stopped in for dinner…read more We were seated right away and had a couple cocktails and a beer. Ordered dinner of , fish & chips, rock fish with black rice and the prime rib with a baked potato. The food was delicious and the Plato g was really nice. The steak was tender and cooked as ordered. All the food we had was great. The pins colada was delicious! Service was friendly and fast. Great view from the dining rooms of the water.

    It's worth the wait for a table by a window. We had a wonderful lunch looking out over Port…read moreTownsend Bay and the Port Hudson Marina. The menus -which change seasonally- has something for everyone. Fish OF COURSE, burgers & sammies, salads, pasta, a famous and much loved clam chowder and a full bar. Cozy, older crowd who come for their favorites and know what they like. The waitstaff are seasoned veterans who keep everything flowing smoothly from start to finish. My husband had his very favorite salad, an "Ahi Tuna Nicoise" ($32): Thai basil encrusted yellow fin tuna, hearts of romaine, hard-boiled egg, grilled asparagus, sesame gochugaru, Korean chili fingerling potatoes, served with Chinese mustard vinaigrette. I had the "Tide & Tail" Sandwich ($22): a panko fried Bering Sea cod filet with wild Oregon Bay shrimp, sharp white cheddar cheese, Red Dog Farms organic mixed greens, preserved lemon-pepper aioli served on a Crusty Crumb Bakery Focaccia, with a choice of side. I chose a small house salad. It was all fantastic! Couldn't have asked for anything more. Will definitely come back on our next road trip. Maybe it'll be less windy and we can eat on the outside patio next time. Fantastic find!!!

    Y'all knocked it out of the park!…read more Brit owned shop offering comfort food that is a perfect complement to its coastal town. Don't miss the salmon chowder! This is likely the most memorable soup I've ever had. Creamy, smooth, with the perfect balance of fresh buttery salmon. If you come for one thing let it be this!!! As a Floridian who's traveled to the New England states, I can confidently say I know seafood, and this chowder still surprised me! The rock crab Mac n cheese was also excellent. Warm, gooey, and bottomless. The crumb layer enhances each bite of that tasteful crab. Again, the perfect balance of the seafood flavor with the rest of the meal, making each bite hit with the same comfort as the first. Staff are friendly and outgoing, and are eager to provide recommendations. The service was quite quick. Plenty of seating though the shop is on the smaller side, it will seat groups of 6 easily. The vibe is so chill. The backdrop of the town and its quaint shops next door felt like I was in a hallmark film.

I was getting ready to leave the area and I didn't want to miss my ferry but I was starving, so I ordered a couple items for pickup and headed over. I chose the Teddy Oggie which is a traditional steak pasty and I also ordered their Big Dawg because I'm a big girl and I'm familiar with the size of a pasty so I thought I might need a little something extra. When I arrived, the vibe was kind of awkward. There was music playing and there were only one or two other people inside. The staff wasn't particularly welcoming and after a few minutes I was happy to grab my food and leave. As I walked back to my car I realized I had a little time before I had to head to the ferry so I stopped at an outdoor table to have a little sample before I headed out. The food was so dry. And I don't mean a little dry, I mean really really dry. The pasty in particular was overwhelmingly crusty with very little moisture or flavor to balance it out. I was hoping for something warm and savory but instead it was just brittle and stale. It tasted old . Like it had been sitting out for a while and then been overcooked . After a few bites I threw it away and felt relieved that I had bought a second item because I hadn't eaten all day. The sausage was just as bad. The bun was so dry it was crunchy. I didn't mind that the sausage skin had a crunch to it, but unfortunately once I got inside it wasn't moist or juicy either. Oh and the little tiny sliver of mustard that they put on top? I could have pushed that all into one bite and it still wouldn't have been enough. I took a few bites and threw that away too. I understand pasties can be crusty and that's part of what makes them a pasty, but there's a huge difference between being so dry and crusty that it's difficult to eat and having a real savory pasty. The whole experience was so disappointing. I don't know if Yelp has made a huge mistake with the rating for this place or if I just caught them on a bad day. I love the idea and I often go to British pub style restaurants when I can but based on my experience here I would not recommend this location.
