    Smoked brisket, fries, Mac and cheese and pulled beef burger
    Ali B.

    My wife and I were in Ottawa and were recommended Moe's BBQ by a friend, who mentioned they had been a few times and it was the best halal BBQ spot in the area. Given the stellar review from our friend, we decided to go there for dinner and ended up ordering the 6oz smoked brisket with two sides (fries and mac and cheese) and a pulled beef burger. It came out to ~$35. The meat was phenomenally cooked. It was very flavourful and left us wanting more. It also came with some BBQ sauce, which made the meal that much better. The sides we ordered were just O.K. in my opinion, but everything else was fabulous. The interior decor was nice and cozy and it almost felt like you were eating in a small cabin. The staff were very nice as well. If we're in the area again, we will definitely come back!

    BEST BBQ EVER! Everyone was very nice and such a cute spot! Mac&Cheese was my favorite.

    Platter for 2

    Smoke meat platter for two is of good value. Only thing to consider is that you need to pick up your order like fast food restaurants but you pay almost 30 dollars for each.

    My husband and I got takeout from Moe's BBQ and overall it was really good. We got 2 orders of the Sample Platter ($23 each). The Sample Platter comes with a chicken drumstick and thigh, 3 oz of brisket, 3 oz of pulled beef and your choice of 2 sides. We got fries and mac and cheese for both orders. It also comes with 3 sauces: ketchup, BBQ, and a mayo-based sauce. Everything was packed in styrofoam, which is not my preference for both health and environmental reasons (hot food + styrofoam = chemicals leaching into the food, and styrofoam is not recyclable). Nonetheless, the food was tasty, although I'm sure it would have been even tastier had we eaten there. The smoked chicken was delicious. The flavour was excellent. Not too salty. The chicken went well with the mayo-based sauce. The pulled beef was tender and melt in your mouth. It was a bit fatty though. The brisket was also fatty. I'd say my favourite was the chicken, then the pulled beef, then the brisket. They were all good though. The fries were a bit soft when we got home, but they were still good, so I'm sure they would be amazing fresh. I love how they are hand cut with the skins still on. They were slightly sweet too and not mealy/starchy. The mac and cheese was ok, but nothing remarkable in my opinion. The BBQ sauce had a bit of a spicy kick which I enjoyed, and the mayo-based sauce was a bit rich, but tasted good with the chicken in small amounts. Service was friendly. You order at the counter and pay, then if you're eating in, they bring the food to you, if you're taking out, they ask for your name and when it's done, they call out your name. The restaurant is halal. It is in a strip mall. Same mall as Wendy's and Produce Depot. Lots of free parking.

    I am so proud to have discovered this place in Ottawa! Everything is yummy! I miss the dine in experience because the food doesn't take as good when it gets cold from delivery or pick up. But it's still bomb! Love it! I hope they open for dine in very soon!

    Went to Moe's had the chicken, fries, biscuit & blackened tips. The food was very good, my only complaint was the 30 minute wait upon arrival when I had ordered 1.5 hours earlier and arrived at set time. Could have just been a misplaced order who knows. Having only been once tough to compare. I'd recommend as the food had lots of flavour & was nice and hot. I'll be back.

    I just had 2 AAA Beef Ribs, great flavour, great Service. Definitely comming back and recommend the place.   Great decor and clean!

    Wow! This is my new favourite restaurant. This restaurant…read morereminds me a tad of The Melting Pot in the states, where you cook at the table using fondue oil, cheese and choco. But this elevates that process and is Japanese, which is one of my favourite flavour profiles. The ambiance is so nice. There are screens between the tables so that you can cook and eat in private, which I really appreciated. Being new to the process and restaurant, I felt so fortunate to have Jarred as my server. He explained how everything worked and was so patient with me. Basically, you pay one price for all you can eat...and it's such a bargain! There are so many meats, sides and even desserts to choose from. Jarred helped me choose and was so patient explaining everything that had been marinated in soy sauce and was not gluten free. I was disappointed I couldn't have beef, so he told me he would grab some brisket without the marinade. I ended up ordering that brisket, shrimp and sausage for the meat. The sides were sweet potato in a brown sugary sauce, corn, pineapple, and rice. I can say that the sausage was my favourite, had a nice sweetness to it and different from the typical sausage you get elsewhere. You use the grill to cook everything which is so much more fun than just sitting and waiting for the food to arrive. Everything was so fresh and just tasted amazing. The grilled pineapple was divine! Jarred also suggested I order the Bibimbap. It was a dish with seaweed, veggies, and an egg on top. It tasted like an amazing sushi roll. I also had an UME pineapple drink. You can add an extra oz of alcohol for just $2. It was delicious. There are always staff around and they clear dishes you are finished with super fast. Everything moves there like a well-oiled machine. For dessert, I had this little creme brulee, which was just the right size not to overstuff your tummy. So amazing all warm and bubbly after it sat on the grill. One of the best I've ever had. While writing this review, I discovered there is a location relatively close to where I live in Waterloo. I will definitely be going. This isn't just an extraordinary dinner, it was an extraordinary experience. Perfect food, perfect service, and such a great value! This would be so fun for a date night or night out with friends. I will definitely frequent this restaurant, LOVE it! This location also has a parking lot, which is most welcome in Ottawa!

While eating, I found a piece of metal/steel wool in the chicken that was served to me. This is a serious safety issue, imagine if I have swallowed it. Then instead of addressing the situation properly, we were only offered 10% off, which doesn't reflect how serious this incident is. (Looks like really not) I even asked them how do they handled this situation, and they just said 10% off is the best they can do ‍ This is not just a small mistake, it's a food safety concern!! Posting this to raise awareness and hopefully encourage better standards when it comes to food safety.

    Finally got to try dine-in and confirmed, I had to roll myself home lol. Should've read my previous…read morereview to warn myself. Luckily, I was smart enough to wear stretchy pants. We went for a weekday lunch and they have beef ribs on special every Wednesday. I originally ordered a 6-rib dinner but our server advised that because beef ribs are a lot larger than pork, that a half rack of beef ribs is actually a 3-4 ribs, so I took his advice and got that. Glad I did! They were definitely huge. I asked for no beans, but got the coleslaw, cornbread, and fries, that came with it. While the sides were good, I focused on eating the ribs in-house because they were piping hot and the fries and cornbread could be easily heated later, if needed, without overcooking. The beef ribs take a bit longer, so keep it in mind if you're in a rush. The barbecue sauce had a nice kick to it, not necessarily spicy, but a kick, and also sweet and a bit tangy. The meat wasn't fall-off-the-bone and had some chew, which I didn't mind. Huge portion for sure! There was also a generous portion of fries. I call them Costco fries because most people understand what I'm talking about when I say that's the kind of breading/fry. I loved that cornbread came with the meal and wasn't an additional cost. I just wish it came with a pat of butter or something. If you're looking for a toddler-friendly meal, you can get the Buffalo fingers starter just plain, without it tossed in sauce. There are a ton of different awards, articles, posters, and signs that line the walls, including one that says they're now pouring Broadhead Amber Ale. Service was great, very attentive, fast, and friendly. We came just before the lunch rush, around 11:30-11:45am and there were plenty of tables and it was easy to order and receive our meals in a timely fashion. Family-friendly place as well, though I think they only have a couple of high chairs. Loved that it was laid back and they didn't mind our excitable little dude.

I said that we wouldn't have come in to eat if we knew that they were closing at 9 pm. I mentioned this to our server and said that we are holding her up from her Friday night activities.

The cook came out and said that this was his 14th hour working and were told to get take out boxes and leave immediately.The meal cost over $120. It was with Family. I've never ever been told to leave a restaurant eating after closing. Called the next day , and spoke with the Manager. He stuck up for his Staff and started yelling through the phone. He said something wrong that he accused us of. He said his server was 18 and shouldn't have been told how unhappy we were. So, unprofessional! Do not go there. The food was so so for the price.

    I was on my way shopping and my GPS alerted me that there was major congestion up ahead. I was…read morealready starting to feel hungry, so I asked myself, should I sit in traffic all hangry or should I pull into the plaza and get something to eat? I decided on the latter. I had been to all the restaurants in the plaza before except for Chinese Dragon BBQ, so I figured why not check it out. Now I consider myself quite adventurous when it comes to food, but after reviewing the menu at Chinese Dragon BBQ, I have realized that my adventurousness is limited to spices/flavours and methods of cooking, and maybe fruits and vegetables. When it comes to unusual animals or unusual body parts of usual animals, I am much less adventurous. Pig ears, beef aortas, lamb kidneys, and duck heads? I think I'll pass, lol. I ended up ordering a plate of dumplings stuffed with pork, eggs, and chives ($10.99). The dumplings were boiled, and I got 10 of them. I was asked if I wanted soy sauce or black vinegar as dipping sauce, and I went with the vinegar. The dumplings had a good amount of filling in them - ground pork, scrambled eggs and chopped chives. The outside was nice and chewy and not overly thick. They were good, but I have had better dumplings elsewhere. However, it's obvious that dumplings are not the specialty here and it's organ meats on skewers and other such exotic things for which they are known. Service was good. They brought me a whole water pitcher for myself. I drink a lot of water, so I loved this. The restaurant is clean looking and a good size. It's in the same plaza as Food Basics, Nando's, Shoppers Drug Mart and Tutti Frutti. Lots of free parking. This restaurant is not my jam, but if you're looking for Chinese BBQ with items like those I mentioned earlier then this is your place. I have not been to any other restaurant in Ottawa where I have seen these things on the menu. After I left, the traffic had cleared up, so I'm glad I stopped in to get some food. I didn't find it fantastic, but I have no regrets! :)

    Chinese Dragon BBQ is located in the same strip mall as Food Basics along Merivale, next to a…read morenoodle shop I'd previously reviewed. They're owned by the same people and often move food between the two shops. Chinese Dragon BBQ is the larger of the two siblings, being able to accommodate not only 4 times the amount of people but also a larger menu, featuring - you guessed it - Chinese (not dragon) BBQ. It also has more traditional Northern Chinese stir-frys and hot pots. Many of the options are spicier than the run-of-the-mill Chinese food (which is more of the Southern Chinese variety) but just as good. We've been twice now, once for the BBQ and the second time for the stir-frys and hot pot. The BBQ items, which come skewered, were a bit pricey, about $3+ per, and salty. Thus the second time, we focused mainly on the other items. We bought the Soft-Shelled Crab Fried Rice and a fish hot pot that didn't have an English name associated with it. They were reasonably priced and tasty. However, all of the food we ordered seem to be very greasy. My favourite was the fried rice. The seasoning was perfect with a good amount of "wok-air" but as soon as it cooled down, you could taste (and see) the amount of oil there. Similarly, a thick layer of oil could be found in the hot pot, which isn't terrible when hot but doesn't make you feel great afterwards. The service is, for the most part, attentive, making sure your water is filled and that you have everything you need. They come to check on you quite often but sometimes, you'll have to put in some effort to flag them down, especially if you're seated in a inconspicuous spot (you choose your own seats if it's not too busy). If you're looking to experience a different kind of Chinese food, it's worth a shot - we'll probably be back too since they carry dishes that few other restaurants have. It may not be the best idea for your health to go often though...
