    Redneck Nachos.
    Owen C.

    Great time headed back to Moe's with my children for dinner. The server was nice and she talked kindly as we placed each of our orders. The food was severed quickly and each of us liked our meals. It's a nice place for dodos and good place to hang out with people to chat with.

    Turkey! Juicy and delicious.

    Finally! Something different from the same American food. I don't eat spicy; there are no options either. My turkey was delicious, and the cornbread was delightful. I am sure I will come again. The ambiance is suitable for a fast-food restaurant.

    Not to be confused with Moe's Southwest, Moe's Original BBQ is an excellent BBQ joint that has the basics and extras to make it noticeable to foodies everywhere. I have enjoyed Moe's Original BBQ in Vestavia for a few years with my go-to entree being their fried catfish! Yom Yom Yom! This Moe's is located in the relatively "new" Brock's Gap shopping strip. It's at the very end of the strip with the OS1 Sports Injury Clinic right next door. This eclectic strip also includes a ballet studio, The Trak Shak, Whole Scoop Ice Cream Shop, Santos Coffee and Tre Luna Bar & Kitchen. This Moe's has a large spacious and inviting outdoor dining area, but probably not used much during this time of year. The interior sports a large brightly lit bar on the left with several large flat screens scattered throughout. Can you say sports game view-in?!? On the right are also ample seating options. If you walk straight ahead, you'll find the TO-GO order and pickup area. Since we were getting take-out, this was where we landed. Sarah ordered their popular pulled pork sandwich with mac n cheese and collard greens. The pork practically melts in your mouth with just the right amount of bbq marinade. Of course Sarah had to add more. She did complain that the mac n cheese was tasteless, but Tammy and I thought it was good. Tammy tried the Chicken salad. The to-go container was packed with fresh chopped romaine lettuce, cabbage, carrots, tomoatoes, cucumbers, red onions, sprinkled with cheese with a side of white BBQ sauce. The breast of white meat was tender and separated with ease. Her salad came with a beautifully buttered toasted cornbread. As I mentioned I normally order their fried catfish, but I was drawn to their "special"... turkey pork jambalaya. I had to try it and I'm glad I did. I didn't care for the bits of turkey but the shredded pork was a nice touch as I'm used to the traditional sausage jambalaya. There was also plenty of onions, celery, and had a nice spicy kick! Yom Yom Yom. My side of collard greens could've used a sprinkle of salt, but was palatable. This is a great location for a Moe's. It will add a bit of home-town touch to these other restaurants around Brock's Gap. I look forward to returning and trying their Redneck Nachos.

    I haven't dined in, but I want to because there drink menu looks good. We were in the mood for barbecue and we remembered this Moe's opened up close to us. We ordered and picked up our food with no problem. Once we got home, we dived in! Everything was oh so good! We had leftovers and they were good, too. I'd definitely eat here again.

    Moe's is a large and successful franchise, but it still feels like a down-to-earth hometown BBQ joint. This stems from it's southern roots, and with sides dishes like collards, cornbread, and banana pudding it's a safe bet it started in Alabama. This location has a large outdoor dining area that is great for lunch or dinner. But, I think it will eventually need something to shade customers from the Alabama sun. The outdoor patio allows dogs, and Macey (the golden pup) enjoyed going out on a Friday night. For dinner I ordered the Small Rib Plate with collards and marinated slaw as my two sides. It comes with a piece of yummy cornbread. The ribs were excellent, I assume they were back ribs because they were small bones and they had the cartilage on one end. The ribs had a tasty salty rub, and the Sweet BBQ sauce was a perfect complement to it. The collards were very flavorful, and they were cooked with chopped bacon. The marinated slaw is vinegar based and had a refreshing flavor without being too sour. I had the frozen lemonade cocktail and it was cold and refreshing. My dinner companions enjoyed Puled Pork and Turkey plates, and they enjoyed their choices. They raved about the frozen Bushwacker cocktails. Service was good, and overall a wonderful dining experience.

    Came back again last night for dinner. We were able to sit outside which was great since it was beautiful out. Outdoor seating is nice. There is even an outdoor bar area. I ordered the pork platter which came with two sides and corn bread. I chose the baked beans and the red beans and rice which was a special side. Everything was great. Pork was delicious. They really give you a lot of it. I had plenty to take home. I had to ask for extra sauce because it wasn't enough for me or the hubs. My only real complaint is that everything could have been hotter. Temperature of everything was slightly warm. Otherwise, it was all good.

    So glad they got a location close to us, the food is as good as it is all over. The staff were very friendly and checked on us frequently. We did order the bushwhackers as that is our favorite drink from this chain... I will say however since we were the first ones to ask for them at 5pm we had to wait a long while as they had none made. I will say they were not as good as the one in Tuscaloosa...hence the 4 stars and not 5. We will be back to give the bushwhackers one more try, if not good then I will continue to make these at home...

    This spot was great. The food is delivered to your table after ordering. I actually sat and the bar and the guy who took my order was also the bar tender. He did an excellent job of working the bar and the register. They have a about 7-8 TV's that you can view from every part if the restaurant. They have a-lot of parking. The smoked wings were pretty damn good and i would most definitely go back for them. The collard greens were just ok. They have an open parking lot for them and other spots in the plaza. All the workers were friendly. This was my first time at Moe's Original and i see they have one in my home city. The food my friends and family had looked great also. They ran out if lemonade and it was only 2:00pm. They didn't change it when i pointed it out to one of the workers but i am pretty sure they did it at some point as they were busy. They have outside patio seating thats not covered but a-lot of people enjoyed eating outside.

    I didn't realize they had opened a location back in this neighborhood .... really good move! I've been to a few of the other locations and have always liked what they have to offer. This one is totally new on inside and out. They have a great outdoor patio area that would be perfect for those not too hot days. Inside area is large and allows for plenty of social distancing. Large bar area that you walk by to get to the back right area where you actually place your order. All in all I've never had any bad BBQ at a Moe's. They have the typical BBQ sandwiches to choose from as well as BBQ plates that come with one or two meat combos (there might even be a three meat combo - not positive on that though). Sandwiches come with one side and plates come with two. With choices like fries, potato salad, slaw, greens, mac and cheese, etc. I went with the Chicken Plate and had a side of potato salad and the corn bread. Meat comes with the traditional BBQ sauce and the chicken comes with their version of Alabama White. Corn bread is actually really good and has jalapeno in it. If you like BBQ do yourself a favor and stop by and check these guys out, they know how to do it right!

    I have been to Moe's at other locations, but this was my first time here. I ordered at the drive thru window both times. The service was very friendly. My food was prepared promptly and it was delicious. I tried the ribs with white sauce during one visit and a pork sandwich combo during the second visit. The pork sandwich was prepared "Bama style", which included slaw, pickles, and white sauce. The combo included 2 sides. I chose potato salad and banana pudding. They were both tasty. On this particular day, they were out of mac and cheese.

So, as a result, the dining experience itself is a little barebones in terms of indoor seating. We tried sitting out on the patio at first, but we asked to be relocated due to sudden, unexpected windy conditions. A good selection of beers and wine. Not expansive, but perfectly sufficient. The service was cheerful and prompt. The steaks themselves were very good, especially given the price point. I thought a flight of red wines for $21 and a flight of steaks for $28 was reasonable. Add the four bucks for a twice-baked potato, and you enjoy a nice steak dinner without breaking the bank. Because we were meeting friends out on their side of town, it's probably not where we'd go as a destination, but I would recommend it for a more casual night out. Well done.

We all agreed beforehand that we wanted to try a new place that felt pretty relaxed and had outdoor seating. This place gave everything, plus some! We didn't have to wait long for a table, and our waiter was very attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all of our questions & helped me decide what to order. The outdoor seating is spacious & it was nice to hear the live music coming from a neighboring business. My friends got the Goofy Foot drink & said that it was good but definitely on the stronger side w/the tequila. I opted for a glass of Riesling, it was delicious & paired perfectly with my meal. We didn't get any appetizers. I ordered the fish of the day: Red Snapper w/a Sweet Pea, Tomato & Saffron Risotto 20/10 I always judge food on whether it's "first bite" good & every piece on my plate passed the test. One of my friends chose the Smoked Salmon Pizza, which I was a bit skeptical about at first, but I tried a slice & it was so good. Definitely an out of the ordinary pizza combo that made me rethink all the ways smoked salmon can be used. Another friend ordered the Grilled Ribeye w/Brussel Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes, she loved it! The espresso martinis were also delicious. I wanted a cannoli for dessert but they were sold out, unfortunately. Overall, I'll definitely be returning b/c the food, pricing & atmosphere are all worth the drive. Can't wait to try the lunch menu next!

This was both confusing and disappointing, as it does not align with reasonable expectations for a restaurant still open for regular business. If the kitchen is no longer able or willing to prepare full menu items well before closing, that policy should be clearly communicated--either through adjusted hours or by informing guests upon arrival. Otherwise, it creates the impression of inconsistent operations or a lack of coordination between management and staff. Situations like this suggest a need for clearer operational standards, better communication, and stronger staff alignment with customer service expectations. Guests should not feel discouraged from dining simply because they arrive within what should be standard service hours. Overall, the experience reflects an opportunity for improvement in both management practices and customer hospitality.
