Fantastic BBQ. Great location with easy parking. The ordering is super easy and the service incredibly fast. Yelp has a fairly low review for this place, and I can tell you it doesn't make sense. This was everything we had hoped for. Cool decor, good air conditioning, awesome patio, and decent prices. read more

I was shocked this restaurant wasn't more packed. Or we just lucked out on timing. After a 7 hour long drive I was aching for a hearty meal. BBQ sounded amazing and I've never had a platter like this before. I couldn't turn down the 3 meat platter to try everything that peaked my interest. Starting with the hush puppies, fried, sweet, and savory. Yum! The brisket was so tender and juicy. The ribs were also tender and fell off the bone. The andouille sausage had cheese throughout it and I felt like it was too oily and fatty from that, but that ended up being my husband's favorite. We devoured the sides too. The beans and mac and cheese were a must. If I had more stomach space I'd eat a dozen more hush puppies. Outdoor seating allows your furiends. Order at the counter and enjoy! And don't forget to try their house bbq sauce. read more

If you want a quick, laid-back meal, this is a great spot. Service can be a hit or miss, the girl taking the order wasn't great, but the people who brought out the food and checked in on us were really nice. I really wanted ribs but at 7pm they were all out. Kind of surprising to not be able to get this at a BBQ place but, got the pulled pork meal instead. The pork itself was very well done, and delicious. And really liked that they put all sauces on the side for you to pick and add as much or as little as you want. They have different sides to pick from... mac-n-cheese is usually a must at BBQ restaurants, but I would recommend skipping it here. Not hot, cheesy enough and lacking flavor. The coleslaw, on the other hand, was a great side. read more

Very rustic and cool looking place, patio seating was great with misters all around, very pleasant atmosphere. We shared a 3 meat platter with beans which were bland until we added spicy BBQ sauce and potato salad with hard potatoes, the Mustard BBQ sauce made it better, we chose brisket which was a bit dry unless you douse in sauce, the wings were very big and tasty, the ribs were the best and wished we would of gotten all ribs, 3 small hush puppies were so good, but not enough. Not sure if we would ever go back especially since you pay a hefty price for subpar food. The service was great very friendly and accommodating. read more

Just to preface my review I am not a fan of BBQ however I can recognize if food is good or bad. I personally adore tri tip and brisket. That's just what we ordered along with macaroni and fries. Overall I'd personally rate it at about a 6/10 the food fell apart nicely but it was a little more on the cold side when we received it and it lacked a bit of flavor. Judging from that being the only things I really like from bbq I probably wouldn't go again. My girlfriend liked it as far as I remember. Service was super quick, we ordered and waited about 5 minutes at max. It was standard smokehouse/bbq theming and was clean and organized. If you're a fan of BBQ maybe this spot is for you! read more

Delicious smoked meats (especially the tri-tip and the pulled chicken, both surprising stars), very friendly and fast counter service, and nice drinks and vibe, managing to straddle "hangout bar" and "family friendly." The one thing holding back a stronger review is that the macaroni and cheese had jalapenos in it. Now don't get me wrong -- jalapeno is a totally reasonable thing to put in macaroni and cheese, and the resulting macaroni and cheese was delicious! But nothing in the menu, the website materials, or anything else indicated that there was jalapeno in the macaroni and cheese, and we were counting on our children eating it so we could enjoy the smoked meats and nice drinks. Whatever the virtues of jalapeno macaroni and cheese, CRYPTOjalapeno macaroni and cheese is a problem. This may seem like a minor complaint, but if we had known, we would have made fundamentally different choices -- about what to order, or perhaps even whether to take our children -- and so I feel compelled to flag this somewhat prominently in case you, too, need to make different choices. read more

Great BBQ! We both ordered the brisket. Lots of sides to choose from. You get 2. The thing I don't like about modt bbq places is the lack of fresh vegetables (think: overcooked greens, gluggy coleslaw). Guess I don't have a Southern bone in my body! Anyway, Spitfire offered a beautiful fresh green salad. Yes! I also got the mac & cheese, but wish I would've tried the mashed potatoes instead. The mac & cheese was ok but not very cheesy. My husband got coleslaw & salad both. We were on a road trip so after numerous meals out you really want something nutritious! We were happy here. The brisket was nice and smokey. Te"nder corn bread too with honey butter. I much prefer soft & tender over dry cornbread I've had elsewhere. The atmosphere is modern and airy inside with patio seating. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will go back if in Moab again. read more

A convenient place one block off main. Lots of street and public parking. Place is clean, has a bar with pool table in the back. Plenty of room inside and outside with misters. Clean with self serve soda, order at the counter and they bring food out promptly. The not so good brisket and pulled pork were disappointing dry. The potato salad was MEH, the mash was good as was the hush puppies. We got a salad and it came with way too much dressing but the lettuce was fresh. read more

Stopped for some BBQ while we were in Moab last weekend. This place looked solid from the street. Clean inside and friendly service. Lots of menu options too. Outside dining was large. Three BBQ sauce choices, all of them were tasty. Ordered the 2 meat platter with wings and brisket. The brisket was disappointing. Lots of fat and not seasoned/smoked enough in my opinion. The mac and cheese was mid at best, no flavor and minimal cheese. The fries were below average. The smoked wings were good, but only got 4 of them with the platter. My wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of slaw. It was pretty decent. Not going to recommend this place though. Just missed on too many checkpoints. read more

This restaurant was a good find on our part. It hit all the spots of our dining experience for good bbq food in Moab. From good service to tasty and quality bbq meats + sides, this bar & restaurant is definitely a must-visit if you like bbq food. We were seated promptly when we arrived. We chose to sit in their patio area as it was nice outside. Our server was cordial and friendly. The service was prompt. We ordered a three meats platter which came with two sides and hush puppies or cornbread. We chose hush puppies. We got andouille sausage, brisket, and ribs with baked beans and mac n cheese. We also got a kids meal with brisket and fries. The food came out shortly after ordering. It looked and tasted good. Allnof the food was good. Our most favorite was the andouille sausage. It had a nice kick to it. The brisket and ribs were tender and flavorful. I also had an Apricot Hefeweizen and a spicy Prickly Pear margarita made w/ Mezcal. They both were really good. The bbq sauces available at the table were also good, especially the House BBQ sauce. We had a fabulous experience here and I definitely recommend going here. read more

A decent BBQ joint in Moab. This evening, there was a light crowd and my food arrived to my table before I could fill up my drink cup! I chose the two meat platter with pulled pork, brisket, fries, Mac n cheese, and hush puppies. The meats were nicely smoked and the brisket was very tender. The house sauces were great as well. My only complaints are that the fries were very soggy and the macaroni was a little hard/undercooked. read more

Food was delicious! Service was fast and efficient. The only downside is if you go late, they will run out of meat. The first time we went, they ran out of both the brisket and ribs which are their most popular items. So we went again the next day way earlier and got the 3 meat platter. The brisket was so moist and delicious. A bit fatty but still tasty. The ribs were good. The tri-tip was also really moist and perfectly cooked. Sausages were smoked perfectly. Even the sides were very tasty. Service was super fast and efficient. Beer are about $5.50-$6. Bathrooms are clean. Easy parking. read more

Good barbecue and comfortable restaurant. The food was ready very quickly. The patio and inside are both spacious. The patio has sprayers that help keep it relatively cool. My friend loved the brisket and thought the pulled pork was okay although a bit dry. The chicken was fine, also a bit dry but they give you several sauces. The cornbread was nicer than the hush puppies, unless you really live hush puppies and have to have fried food; they're fairly small, and don't come with honey. The Mac and cheese was nice and cheesy, but not crispy and did not have bread crumbs, so not perfect. The Cole slaw was more vinegar-ey and not super thick, which was nice. The beverage selection was a bit boring, just a coke machine and iced tea. read more

Great food and atmosphere here. We dined over Memorial Day weekend on the outdoor patio. Nice touch: misters. Grab a seat with menus and then place your order up front. Be ready to eat, because your food with come out fast. Less than five minutes after sat down. Boom. Hot and fresh food was delivered. My pulled pork sandwich was fantastic, served on a brioche bun. Sides were tasty as well. Mac n cheese with curly elbow noodles. And the cowboy beans had just the right zip. Great service. Excellent food here. We will be back. read more

Overall loved the easy no-fuss ordering, laid back atmosphere and quick service. Everything was mostly how we'd like it after a long day of hiking - full rack of ribs was delicious, side dishes also tasty, so the only drawback was as stated in other reviews that the fries and Mac n Cheese were somehow not as warm as one would expect. read more

We absolutely loved spitfire! We used them to cater our small wedding in Moab. They were amazing to work with in helping us decide how much food to get, they set up everything perfectly for us. All of our guests (including us) loved the food as well! I thought the price was reasonable given it was catering as well. read more

Tri tips were fabulous. The ribs were amazing. Brisket was dry unfortunately. I'm a brisket snob. Margarita was great to soak my brisket in! You order up front and they bring your food to you. I like a sit down place but that's the way I am. Others probably like it the way it is. read more

This is a comfortable and casual BBQ restaurant located just off the main street in Moab. They have counter service to order and then the food and drinks are brought to your table. In the back of the restaurant is also a regular bar area (21 and older) if you're looking for something more quiet without children. They have quite and expansive menu of BBQ items to enjoy. Our favorites were definitely the ribs and the tri-tip beef. Both were so meaty, juicy and flavorful. There's an assortment of sauces on the table to top it off with. I recommend the cheesy grits and the hush puppies for a side dish. The cole slaw was okay but not a little too dry for my taste. It's a filling portion of food but so worth it. This place is popular and the line gets long so either plan on eating early or just bring your patience and wait in the queue. read more

After a long day of hiking at one of the national parks (arches for us) we found our way to downtown Moab and were craving a hearty meal after a long day. BBQ sounded good so after finding some street parking we walked our way through downtown and made it down to spitfire. When you enter you order first before finding seating. The server was nice and since she realized we were sharing she made sure to put we needed extra plates and utensils with our order. We got the smoke fired chicken wings, 3 from the Pitt, and a Cesar salad. Our sides were Mac and cheese and the French fries. Our meats were the trip tip, brisket, and the sausage. My favorite was the brisket, it was juicy/tender. They have 4 sauces: hot bbq, house bbq, mustard bbq, and Alabama white. My fave of the sauces was the Alabama white which I didn't expect! It's a pretty chill spot, the outdoor patio welcomed dogs and everyone was friendly. Before we left we even came back to use the bathroom before our long drive back to SLC and our waiter saw us and waved. I would want to try the sandwiches or the burger next time if I come back here read more

Our last night in Moab was spent at the Spitfire Smokehouse. To start, our server was awesome - he was the bartender, but when we were placed in his section, he happily waited on us. He was willing to help us choose and was very attentive to us. - The food was hit and miss. I ordered the three meat option. The brisket was superb and was the only one of the three I would probably get again. The chicken was ok, but way too stringy. I understand that it is "pulled" chicken, but it was so fine that I felt like it negatively effected my enjoyment of it. The tri-tip was probably the weakest of the three options. It was just too dry and less flavorful - which should not be a surprise when compared to a fattier meat like brisket. The meats also came with two sides and cornbread. The cornbread is a huge pass - the bottom was also wet in nature - and I wish I would have gotten the hushpuppies instead. For the sides, the mac and cheese was good and the fries were ok. The food came out in (I kid you not) less than 3 minutes. Nice if you are starving, but definitely a sign that all of the food was simply warmed up and not very fresh. I would come back here, but I would get the brisket tacos instead. read more

Brisket needed 2 maybe 3 more hours, was chewy. Mac n cheese a little over top, very rich. Service was great food came fast(it was a Wednesday). Coleslaw was ok at best "dryish" Hush puppies were great and the pulled pork was great. The 3 sauces I tried were good, didn't try the mustard. read more

Service was quick and friendly. The food was ok. Tri-tip and chicken was amazing. The chips should be improved.

Service is fast!! I had ribs with 2 sides (green salad and beans that are flavorful! I like it!) The ribs look dry on the outside but soft on the inside. The brisket and chicken were both good as per my husband. The The potatoes were also crispy! The staff are welcoming. The ambiance is simple and lively. What makes the place special is their homemade sauce that brings life to the meat. read more

Spitfire is easy to miss since it's not on the main road, but it is a hidden gem for sure. I wanted a spot with a cozy outdoor patio so I could eat with my dog and this is seemingly one of the few options around. They have a nice big menu wall which breaks down the options. The cashier was helpful in guiding my order. I wound up getting brisket which tends to be hit or big miss but I gambled and man was this a huge winner. Smoky, flavorful, tender, not fatty, just spot on. Add extra sauce at your own leisure. For my sides I got corkscrew Mac and cheese which was soft, tasty and not too goopy, as well as Coleslaw which was nothing special but still fresh and perfectly fine. Plates also come with a pair of fried hush puppies which were a welcome addition. Prices feel pretty average, not cheap but you get a nice portion for what you pay. There's a parking lot so no issue in that department. Clean, modern decor. Definitely a must try if you're craving BBQ in Moab! read more

Language barrier. First time there I was new to the store so I asked if there was a sampler platter to try all the meats. They thought I meant FREE samples of all the meats. Pull pork was good, tri-tip was dry, sausage tasted funny and spicy to me, soda dispenser was puking and needed to be changed. Employees all standing around and didn't check not check in on us. They just kept standing around, eating chips and drinks while we were eating. None washed there hands after licking fingers from the chip bag. Brisket was good and wet. Hush puppies were hard and dried out. read more

From outside, you can smell the delicious scents of barbeque, luring you in to get a taste of the smokey goodness. I found myself following my nose inside on my most recent trip to Moab. The ordering process was quick and the food came out even faster! I can't say that it's the BEST barbeque I've ever had, but it was decent. My wife said that the bread/banana pudding (I forget which) was not very good-maybe something that came out of a can. I appreciate that they have both indoor and outdoor seating and everything was clean. I tried to bus my table and a cheerful staff member came out and took my tray from me. Great service, ok food. read more
