Dropped by for a drink, sat at the bar where we had great service and a good beer selection, and to our surprise there was a free live music. Friendly clientele. Didn't order food but what I saw coming out to other customers looked good. A fun casual spot. read more

Being from Texas and a BBQ connoisseur from birth, this place is very good. Is it Texas, no, but a very tasty meal especially if you like burnt ends. Cornbread is sweet, homemade and delicious. Mac and cheese is not your run of the mill and is very tasty. Service was very friendly and quick. I'll eat here again for sure. read more

I don't understand why the other reviews are so low for this place. We thought it was great. We loved the blood orange hiefeweisen. All the meat was good. The brisket is tender. The pulled pork is great. And they were open on Thanksgiving. Even though they were very busy, they moved people in the line very efficiently. read more

No service but they add a 10% tip on your total. The food had no flavoring, totally bland. No one ever checked with us to see if we wanted another drink. $55 for two with NO service was pathetic! Wish we had went to the restaurant we knew that had GREAT service and the food was well worth the price. Would DEFINITELY NOT recommend! Save your money! read more

Delicious meal. It hit the spot after a day of hiking. We shared a 3 meat selection with 2 sides and 2 draft beers. We ordered sausage, Tri tip, and brisket - all were good. The original recipe BBQ was really good, maybe a top contender! We had coleslaw and baked beans. The coleslaw lacked a little flavor, but all was delicious. read more

Great spot to grab some bbq! After spending a long morning in canyonlands, we were starving and this place hit the spot. They have a decent variety on the menu, if you don't want a bbq platter or sandwich they also have salads, bowls, tacos and a few side/snack options. We both went with two meat platters. I tried the pulled pork and the tri tip, with coleslaw and potato salad for my sides. My partner tried the pulled chicken and brisket with double Mac n cheese. Platters also come with hush puppies. I really enjoyed the tri tip, and the pulled pork was nice as well. My partner favored the brisket. All of our sides were good and hit the spot. Portion sizes were large, so I definitely could have just done a one meat platter and still probably wouldn't have been able to finish it. For sauces, they brought some to our table and I tried the house bbq, mustard bbq, North Carolina vinegar, and Alabama white. I mostly used the house bbq but enjoyed trying them all. Something for everyone. There is indoor and outdoor seating, we enjoyed the patio area. They also have a bar section if that is more your speed. We ordered at the front and they brought our food out when it was ready. Service was nice. Clean restrooms. Overall I'd recommend stopping here if you're in Moab. read more

We had a great time and food was delicious! The place was cool and in a neat spot. Great for a low key meal or a party!

We arrived at opening time (11:30) and they were not open. Many were waiting. They finally opened their doors at 11:45. We got the 3 meat platter to include ribs, brisket and pulled pork. All the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful! Our favorite was the brisket. My son got the Mac n cheese bowl with pork and it was really good as well. The food came out quickly. 4 stars because we waited outside in the cold when it should have been open already. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The sausage and ribs were excellent as was the Cole slaw and Mac and cheese. Beer selection was pretty good. Did not like the standing in line thing.

Moab Spitfire Smokehouse - Spitfire - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

Went to have dinner with 8 people, almost No one in the bar. 1 person sitting at a table for 8, two table for 4 next to each other with no one sitting at them, about 5 other people here and there, bar staff told us they could not seat our party in the bar. But there should be plenty of room in the dinning room. Been coming here for years, often with large parties, never had any trouble, but after today. Never will be back, had a great meal at the Blue pig with excellent service, so we have a new BBQ hangout, Thank you!!! read more

The brisket was very moist, which means it was not sitting out for too long. The original BBQ sauce went well with the brisket and the Alabama white sauce went well with the sausage. I would also reccomend the baked beans and the southern grits. The grits are a bit cheesy and have green onion as a touch. Luis was our server and did a great job with our large party of 10. This will be a must stop every time I am in Moab from here on. read more

The bar bq was amazing. Service was prompt and friendly. They put Sunday night football on at our request befote we even ordered. Nice outdoor eating and beverage selection. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Had the 2 meats platter. Ribs were probably the best I've ever eaten. My brisket was a bit fatty, but like the ribs, perfectly cooked and smoked. read more

Spitfire was located directly behind our hotel so we gave them a try for dinner. The restaurant has a fun industrial type of look. The staff were helpful but not the friendliest people we've come across in Moab. We ordered the pimento cheese appetizer which came with tomato jam, crisps and carrots and celery. I had the half slab of ribs platter and my husband had the platter with two meats - sausage and brisket. My sides were the mac n cheese and cole slaw. Platters also come with hush puppies, pickles and pickled onion. I found the menu to sound better than the food was. The hush puppies were dry inside and the ribs were very fatty. The best part of the appetizer was the crisp. We are glad we gave them a try. read more

We stopped by for dinner on a whim since our first option was closed due to maintenance. The food was not good... the sides were very sub par and by sub par... horrible. I could not even eat more than one bite of the mac and cheese. While it was the end of the day, I don't think the meat would be any better in the morning, either. The cocktails were great, though! I had a few. The service was impeccable - they have some great employees that work there that were courteous and efficient. But, the BBQ is just not it. read more

On a roadtrip and walked the Arches then stayed overnight in Moab. Walked around the town and found this place for dinner. I wanted to eat something light so I ordered a few #Wings from the Pit with #BeerBatteredFries. My friend ordered the #LoadedNachos with #PulledPork. Food was tasty and hit the spot. I couldn't help my friend with the loaded nachos and since we were traveling she left most of it on the table. It was a hot day and the hiking/walking got us weary and tired with not much of an appetite. I finished off all the wings and fries as it was just the right amount of food for me. Eating on the road you need to be selective so not to waste food. I made a good choice. read more

Charming spot but the food is *terrible*. Worst barbecue I've ever had. Ordered a root beer float for dessert. It was a mug of root beer with one tiny scoop of ice cream. Total ripoff. Avoid. read more

Admittedly, we have been spoiled by Texas BBQ so maybe Spitfire would have ranked a little higher if that was not the case. Counter service, food came out fairly quickly. Fries were great, chicken was ok. Didn't love the beans and the mac and cheese was cold. Hush puppies were very good, we went back through for a second round. Patio looked great for warmer weather, not a ton of tables inside. read more

I'm giving a mixed review because our experience was definitely a mix of good and bad. When we got there Luis greeted us and was super helpful. He's awesome. We wish we could have designated the tip we left to him. He was also helpful when we left. We found out you order at the counter and then the food is brought out. I tipped 20% because that's my standard. I wish I hadn't. Our food was brought out and we never got checked on again until she came to bus our table. I was surprised to see her badge said she was the manager. I went to order and Isabele stared at me like I had two heads and didn't say a word. I finally just started my order. Midway through she stared off into space and didn't get the rest of the order. Then she began talking to someone else. I had to redirect her to the fact that I was ordering. While we were eating, I looked up and she was at the counter eating from a bowl. I teach food handler classes. That's a huge "don't do this" The food was mostly good but don't order the potato salad. That was cold, bland potatoes with a mustardy type sauce. The fries are also somewhat bland. The meat is very tender and well cooked. The corn bread was awesome. Overall a mix of good and not so great read more

Smoked chicken, wings or perfectly smoked and deliciously meaty. Service was great, and they have live music on certain nights which added to the overall pleasantries. read more

The food was mediocre at best, but the service was amazing. They really did do their best.

This place was so good, we went there twice. On one day, i got the briskets sandwich and the following day, I got the Andouille sausage sandwich. It was all good and so was the Mac and Cheese and the Potato salad. The BBQ sauce was great, they had a white Alabama sauce which I had never had and I loved it. read more

Moab Spitfire Smokehouse - Bar side - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

We found this place on Yelp, and called ahead of time to make sure it was dog friendly. It totally is and they even have doggy bowls for our furry family members. *Roberto* was amazing and we hope he gets a raise. He went above & beyond to help out one of our kids that got hurt in their bathroom. The cashier was also great as he got a bag of ice for our daughter, but I didn't catch his name. Okay okay; Food was great! The side and Mac and cheese was pretty lack luster, but everything else was pretty good. Their house sauces made a lot of the food better, and we were pretty hungry. I thought the house margarita was also very tasty. We will def be back, the outdoor seating with misters was a huge hit. Lots of seating inside as well, hope to try their root beer next time we are in the neighborhood! read more

Solid BBQ joint. There is a restaurant and a 21+ bar area. Staff were friendly and courteous but if sitting in the bar area you likely need to order at the bar (fyi). Food came out really quick (like under 10 mins from ordering). House made sauces were good, should be something for everyone read more

Moab Spitfire Smokehouse - Texas-Style Brisket 2 From the Pit Beer-Battered Fries Pit-Smoked Beans (GF) Carolina-Style Pulled Pork - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

I'm from California so good BBQ is really hard to find. This was some of the best BBQ meat I have ever had. The service is quick with a walk up counter but it's great. The outdoor seating area is well maintained and there is a nice bar area for adults that we didn't go in to, but looked nice from outside. The sides left a bit to be desired, but if I were to travel back to Moab, I would definitely eat here again. read more

I haven't seen this much meat since I had to clean the mens locker room at a gym I worked at in college. Eat here. Eat here. Eat here. Eat here. Wish I could give Spitfire 10 's. There is nothing else to say. Food A+ Service A+ Cleanliness A+ Value for money A+ Go. Go now. So much meat. read more

Large portions of tasty sandwiches! We tried going here one night but they were sold out of most meats! Go early! We went back the next night, earlier and then were not as busy. The pulled chicken sandwich was good with the slaw added on it (I got the slaw on the side). The pulled pork was also good and there are several different sauces on the table so you can add as little or as much as you want! The staff was super friendly and answered all my picky questions about the food. We could watch them cook the chickens in a huge rotisserie in the side of the restaurant. I really wish the noise from the bar wasn't so loud. There was music from the bar and music from the restaurant that clashed and were noisy! Parking is challenging but just park across the street. read more

The food portions were kinda small and it seemed a lil fast food-ish as you order at the counter and fin for yourself from there. Food was average taste. Mac n cheese was not good...not fresh. I won't be back... read more

I was a bit apprehensive about going to this restaurant based on the reviews. You order your own food and drinks inside the restaurant. Make sure you don't take too long to get your drinks because the food comes out lightning quick. The ribs and burgers were decent. The outside dining was cooled off by a cooling mist. It's not fancy but decent. With the time you save here, take a ride up Route 128 north near the entrance to Arches NP. It's a beautiful ride. read more

Best bbq food I've had in a while. So tender, so flavorful. The ribs fell of the bone. All the sauces were excellent. I loved the house sauce and the white sauce. The pulled pork was excellent too, I think my favorite. So moist and delicious. I'm not a fan of beans but I decided to get them and they did not disappoint. Great flavor and cooked perfectly. Salad was a good size. Hush puppies were dry and burnt, that was the only negative. For a platter with 2 meats it's only $22 and you get so much stuff. I was so full. Def come here for some excellent bbq. I also got an apricot beer that was very good. I was tempted at the on tap root beer but didn't get it. This place is excellent! So cute inside. Staff are so friendly and you order at the counter and can sit down. read more

Moab Spitfire Smokehouse - We already ate some meat before this pic... Yummy! - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

Food was terrible. The bbq sauce taste like straight Worcestershire. The root beer float had 1 tbs of ice cream and didn't taste like root beer it was straight whipped cream. They also forgot our root beer float. The ribs were dry, oily, and had no flavor. You wait 40 mins to order. It is not a normal sit down restaurant. Beer battered fries were just regular fries. Did not try to make anything right after forgetting multiple items like normal restaurants. Terrible food and terribly ran. Manager does not know what she is doing. read more

After a morning of hiking, my friend and I came here for lunch. Although there is a parking lot in the back, it's pretty packed. We ended up parking in the lot across the street. Between the two of us, we shared the 3 Meat Platter ($25) with Tri tip (+$3), Ribs (+$3), and Wings. For the wings, we got the honey garlic flavor but it really tasted like Buffalo wings. The platter included hushpuppies and two sides, which we opted for the Poppyseed Cole Slaw and Mac & Cheese. After we paid and got our number, we headed over to the bar side. Our food came out quick and was presented very nicely. Each meats came with 4 pieces except for the wings with 3, which made it harder to share. The sauces they had definitely elevated the flavor. Food was good, but not quite the best out there. I was disappointed with the Mac and cheese, which tasted very plain. The spot has a cool vibe with an outdoor bar, but food is mediocre at best. read more
