If you're in Auburn and craving some incredible BBQ, Moe's is the place to be! I stopped by before the big game and was blown away by the quality of the food and the vibrant atmosphere. The spare ribs were a masterpiece--tender, perfectly smoked, and bursting with flavor. Their tangy BBQ sauce added just the right kick to make each bite unforgettable. The baked beans packed a punch of flavor, complementing the meal beautifully. And let me tell you, the banana pudding? Creamy, rich, and downright delicious--a perfect sweet finish. Pairing it all with an ice-cold lemonade made the meal complete. The pregame football crowd added an extra layer of excitement, making the experience even more memorable. Moe's BBQ is a must-visit in Auburn. Great food, great vibes, and the perfect place to gear up for game day! Great price, excellent food, cold drinks....War Eagle! read more

We had a blast here after a long day of college tours and walking. Had a late lunch of wings and fried pickles with a great hazy IPA (listed as rye, but totally not!). Wings were really good (maybe we were just really hungry, but I thought they were amazing!). The bartender was the sweetest person - chatty and friendly and made us feel so special. You could tell she cares about her customers. Five stars for service! The interior was a little dark and dank for an afternoon visit. Wish they had patio seating or opened the front windows when weather was pleasant. read more

This is our second time trying Moes Bbq - Both times they have been super accommodating and knowledgeable with my gluten allergy (wings are cross contamination in the fryer so I can't eat those) my wife says they were delicious and crispy! The ribs had a perfect bite to them, not fall off the bone but very tender and juicy. I wish there was a spicier bbq Sauce option. First time trying the slaw which I was a big fan of, potato salad and beans were pretty good as well. The first time we ate in and the ambiance was cozy and relaxed. All staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

Food is nothing to rave about, you can get better BBQ elsewhere in Auburn. This is a great bar vibe, though. They stop serving food around 8 and this turns into the "chill" college bar. Great place to go on a gameday. Drinks are classic Auburn prices. $5 pitcher of Budweiser. Can't beat it! P.S. Please nobody comment on my intelligence but I think the Trivia here is really hard. read more

Most barbecue is very good but on the occasion you have lower quality barbecue and this is what I would call it. It may sound good, but trust me the meat is very chewy and I didn't have the greatest customer service. Also, there's a better restaurant right across the street. read more

Arrived at lunch and were waited on very quickly,you order at the counter here.Once your food is ready they call your number and you have to go get it at the counter.Cost for chicken fingers and fries and a BBQ plate was $50 which I thought was super expensive factoring in that you get zero service.Food is served on paper plates and condiments are in packs.Will not be back due to the price and zero service. read more

Loved the baked beans, liked the pulled pork, and the potato salad was pretty good. Prices reasonable. No brisket??? They were doing their best to keep up on a football Saturday. We found the door of the women's restroom quite amusing. read more

I like Moe's, but be aware this location is more college bar than a dining experience. As we learned the kitchen closes at 9. The light go down, and the volume goes up. It's a great atmosphere if that's what you are looking for. I ordered fried catfish with side of collard greens and Mac and cheese. The catfish was wonderful. The fish was fresh and hot. The greens were great. Mac and cheese was a little dry. read more

No service, you just order at the counter. The smoked wings are some of the best I've had and it is a really cool place. Another Auburn staple. read more

Where will I go every time I visit auburn? Moes bbq. This is the best place to get good food and great vibes. The redneck nachos are one of my favorite foods and it's a great place to watch a game or have a night out- after 8 it turns into a bar read more

Went here because all other restaurants had too long of a wait. Place is a dibe, but fun. Kids love to go there and love the food and $5 pitchers. I had the turkey and two sides I had Green beings and ordered the skillet corn. But the order is ready we picked it up they were out of skillet corn so I got coleslaw. Because it was OK. My son at the nachos as it's his go to and love them. We also have a fried pickles, they were delicious! read more

One star is too generous for this place. My family had absolutely the worst experience we've had in a restaurant in many years. Now to be fair, it was parents weekend in Auburn so we expected lunch at any restaurant might take a little longer than usual. We placed our order at the counter (as all patrons do) and received our ticket with the ticket number on it..ticket number 41. When we sat down we heard of the loudspeaker they called ticket number 21 or 22. Well, we were number 41 so I knew it might be a few minutes. Let's just say 50 minutes later, they were just on ticket 34-35. Yes that only turning about 14 tickets in nearly an hour. BTW, my daughter arrived about 15 minutes behind us so we had to place her order when she got there and her ticket number was 61. Many of you probably see where I'm going here, they're printing a lot of tickets, taking orders, but not a lot of progress coming out of the kitchen. I proceeded to go speak with the person at the cash register and kindly asked for the manager. I was approached by one lady who absolutely seemed annoyed that I was even questioning why it was taking so long and then another guy came over and presented himself as the manager but he was visibly annoyed as well. He simply said we're busy and turned around and walked off. Funny, before saying anything to anyone I simply walked up and observed kitchen, to be fair. One guy was too busy watching the game on TV facing kitchen and other guys were working at snail pace. One was the "manager". When I spoke with him, I shared my observations of the kitchen and particularly the one guy watching the game and he just did not care! Now don't get me wrong, we eat out all the time and are completely sympathetic to labor issues many restaurants are facing. Also, I'm somewhat familiar with restaurant business, particularly BBQ. We eat at every BBQ restaurant in almost ever town we go to.. I also smoke a lot of meat myself......this is definitely a 1 star place!!! An hour later we finally got our food on ticket 41, "to go" at this point because we had to be somewhere. My daughter (ticket 61) we just left, It wasn't worth going back to the counter and asking if we could get her barbecue sandwich to go with ours after our experience with the so-called "manager". She went to down street to get a sub instead. On top of this, this is what our food looked like when we got to car. Hopefully photos came through. BBQ was very mediocre, the bread was bone dry and burnt, beans were actually good. The chicken looked disgusting!!! It was supposed to be pulled chicken. Fed that to dogs. As you've read in other reviews, these people simply don't care about your business!!! Period. I'm actually being nice about how we felt we were treated by staff. I normally wouldn't write such a negative review but after seeing how this staff handled our situation yesterday, figured I'd try and save someone else having to go through this. To be honest, I can usually get over so-so food if we receive good service but when you can't perform on either level....it's just bad! Good opportunity for someone to open a good BBQ place downtown to serve good food and friendly service..,if I lived anywhere close I would. read more

We enjoyed Moe's one Sunday afternoon. The establishment is very laid back (in a good way) and the food is very good. We ordered the pulled pork platter, a pulled pork sandwich, the catfish platter, and the smoked turkey platter. Between the four of us we tried their baked beans, potato salad, mac & cheese, marinated Cole slaw, and banana pudding. All were all great. Three major stands out! Their corn bread (it looks like a piece of Texas toast in the picture) is a thick cut slab, coated with a layer of butter and honey, and then toasted on a griddle. And if that's not enough, while the outside is sweet and crispy, the inside is soft and riddled with bits of tasty jalapeños. The smoked turkey was succulent and the marinated cole slaw with pickled fresh jalapeños is the perfect combination of tangy/spicy/sweet! This cool little restaurant is nestled in the heart of Auburn country so be prepared to support the Tigers while you eat! Things to know: they do not have brisket on the menu (my favorite); they do not have fried okra (another favorite of mine); and surprisingly they do not have fries on the menu, either, but you can request them if they are not out. read more

I had a great time at Moe's Original BBQ in downtown Auburn, AL today. They offer a delightful blend of Southern hospitality and delicious barbecue. The rustic atmosphere adds to the charm, creating a cozy setting for a casual meal. The menu boasts a variety of barbecue classics, from tender pulled pork to flavorful ribs. The standout sauces contribute a perfect balance of smokiness and tanginess to each bite. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Moe's Original BBQ is a must-visit for barbecue enthusiasts looking for a taste of authentic Southern flavor in the heart of Auburn. I had the BBQ sandwich with fries. read more

I love Moes and the atmosphere. The food is really good; however, I wish the service was a little better. I went there after an Auburn game, and I get it is already a busy time but only having two bartenders on a game day is bad. It took well over 15-20 minutes just to get a drink. It would improve service quality a lot if they had at least one more bartender. read more

This place was fine before but already too expensive. They now raised their price again on a pulled pork platter from $13.50 to $15.50. This means that getting a relatively small lunch here will cost almost $20, which is absurd for anybody working in the college who wants to have lunch downtown, not to mention the cost of parking downtown. This price is absurd considering that all of the sides are premade and mostly from a can, meaning that very little effort is required to prepare a meal. Overall, this place is an insulting rip off and their barbecue isn't even that good. read more

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well in the case of my week long visit to Auburn and frequent stops at Moe's Original BBQ I'm not insane at all. I not only went to Moe's several times, but I got the same thing over and over again and fully expected the most delicious wings I have ever had in my life. It was the wings that won me over in a big way. I assure you that I am quite sane, but admit I did develop an addiction during my time in Auburn. Let's start with my first introduction to Moe's in downtown Auburn. I found street parking not far from the restaurant around 5 PM. I had heard from word of mouth and my handy Yelp app that this was the place for me to get great barbeque. I love great barbeque and seek it out in any city I visit. I was greeted by a couple of armed goon's at the door. Just kidding, there were two young Men serving as security that informed me there was a wing special going on until 9 PM, but probably no seating. The place was a complete mob scene and just plain crazy. No seating, standing room only and it just seemed like utter chaos. I learned it was World Cup on the TV with USA playing and understood what was up. I was brave enough to work my way through all of the college kids and was fortunate enough to find a seat at the bar. I had no expectations of anything resembling good service, but I thought the atmosphere was worth checking out and I really wanted to try the food. I was not at the bar a moment before a female bartender asked me what I would like to drink. Granted there was a lot of help behind the bar, but still this was impressive. The vibe was electric with a jammed pack crowd that would have constant outburst and screams as the action of the game played out. The young crowd was well behaved and enjoying food, drink, the company of friends and of course the many TV around the dining room. I loved the atmosphere of the crowd, but the decor had a Greenwich Village feel with it's artsy walls. A real brick accent wall on the booth side is what I will remember the most. The wall is painted with funky characters and overlapping graffiti everywhere. Think of eating inside of an artist barn, strange but that's all I got. There is that much wood every where you look. From being at Auburn the week I realized that the pitchers of beer are dirt cheap, I mean like $5.99 for a pitcher of Blue Moon which is basically giving it away in my book. However, I did just settle on getting one draft and asked what the recommendation would be for a first timer. She flat out said the wings are a must and get a combo of mac n' cheese, moose desert w/ side of bread. I said go for it and was up for anything. My beer was in front of me in seconds along with a water which I did not ask for. Any waitress with her salt knows to bring water even if not asked for... which I usually do, but forgot. This gal was on top of it and friendly as heck. The food was out in ten minutes which I thought could not be true and questioned if it was even my order, but indeed it was. I wasted no time and dug right into the wings and found them to be delicious. Plenty of meat, not greasy, a slight toughness and crunch, I was totally stoked to continue eating right through the basket. But how could these wings get even better... with two dipping sauces that's how. So, I first tried the red sauce and found it spicy and not to my personal taste. The second sauce was lite, mayo base and a marriage made in heaven for me. The mac n' cheese was just okay, not really a fan. The moose desert had a nice deep chocolate flavor, but nothing spectacular. The bartender checked back with me several times to see how I was doing, provided water refills and extra napkins. In general she had full command of her customers every need. I found her so attentive to not only me, but others. The place was loud with World Cup Cheering, so crowded by now you literally could not move. However, I was loving the fact I was in the middle of this spectacle and enjoying Moe's scrumptious wings. I ended up going back no less than three times in five days just for wings and was quite lucid I assure you. Forget about the sides and other entrees I had a serious crush on their wings! Each time I went in the place it had a big lively crowd which is always a great sign. I felt the service was also on par each time. For as busy as they were the place was kept pretty clean too. I have issue with the Men's restroom and a broken mirror which is a safety hazard as this is a place for kids earlier in the evening. Great atmosphere, awesome vibe, terrific service, incredible deals on pitcher beer and awesome wings. That is what kept me coming back anyway. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. And should have got the police involved. Last night, our bartender was being extremely rude and told me and my friends that we were in the wrong place because we are from California. When we asked her why she was being rude, she proceeded to yell and scream at us telling us to get the f*ck out when all we did was ask her why she was being rude. She then sprayed me with the water hose from across the bar and another bartender (male) physically assaulted me (I'm a woman.) I am appalled by the disgusting attitudes of the workers here. Every single time I've come in, the bartenders ha e been nothing but rude. I hope this reaches a manager and changes are made with the quality of CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Run of the mill bbq. Nothing special. No reason to go out of your way to eat here. Banana pudding was good.

Relatively small portions and a long time to get it. It is all prepared well ahead of time and just put on plates, why does it take so long to be served? Taste is okay but seriously lacking in sauce quantity. Meat was good but literally no bbq sauce on 75% of the meat and no extra on the tables or offered. I liked the slaw and potato salad but the serving size was 2 tablespoons of each in a small paper cup. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots. Great food and great service. Definitely recommend them every time

The portions and prices are pretty good for the amount of food you get. It's a self-serve place. The BBQ sauce with the pulled pork and smoked chicken was a bit more vinegary than expected. Not pictured BUT TRY THE BUSHWHACKER. read more

I wouldn't recommend trying to eat here (or anywhere down there really) on game day because the wait is absurd. Otherwise, this place is totally worth it. I had the pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, macaroni, and cornbread. The sandwich was delectable. I am a fan of that bbq sauce they put on it. The baked beans and cornbread were also good, but not the best I've ever had. What I loved beyond all other things on the plate was the macaroni! I don't know why, but this stuff was fiya. It wasn't overally creamy or cheesy; it was just right. read more

Bland food. Over priced. Very disappointing for a southern barbecue spot. Don't recommend.

Food was good, price was good, portions weren't bad. Location and atmosphere are good too, and service was nice.

Having been to the Atlanta location near Georgia Tech several times, we thought the food at this downtown Auburn Moe's was much better. This Moe's isn't solely about BBQ. It's a fun place to hang out, watch games, drink beer if you'd like in a upbeat and lively spot feet from the Auburn campus. As for the BBQ, it's solid, but not life changing. While the pulled pork is probably the best meat they offer and the turkey is fair, I'd stay away from the puree banana pudding, which fell far short of typical Alabama expectations. Meanwhile, the jalapeno cornbread and corn skillet is pretty good. As for the value, it's fair. They give you a decent of food, and your best value comes from ordering a platter, which comes with two sides and a drink. Keep in mind, you came here for the atmosphere. The BBQ is a bonus. read more

Terrible service. Most workers standing around watching videos and vaping. Took 30 minutes to get a bbq sandwich.

We're from Wisconsin. Came here specifically because of a recommendation. Completely, 1,000% worth it. I had pulled chicken with bbq sauce, and banana pudding. Husband and kids has BBQ pulled pork, beans and coleslaw (vinegary). Also of note: the cornbread was AMAZING. It was grilled... awesome! We went on a weeknight with our extended family's. Including our 90 yr old grandma, and our 13 and 15 year olds. It started getting busy, around 5. I think they have 50cent wings then. read more

There's a bar tender at the back bar that if these people are paying her and she's not an intern or volunteer it's definitely a very bad business decision. She's terrible! She passed us by 3 times with absolutely zero acknowledgement then went and sat down and complained about a bad tip the day before. Now she's inside leaving the bar outside completely alone with no bar tender at all. read more

* 2 star on lunch/dinner portion of this review.The food is mediocre quality at best, and very expensive for what you get. For 4 bucks less you can go to Hamilton's across the street for lunch. *5 stars on The Bushwackers and the overall relaxed atmosphere (avoid the bathroom unless you want HEP C) All in all-come here for the drinks and SKIP THE FOOD. For excellent bbq and great prices go down the street to Mike and Ed's. read more

We visited this restaurant on 8/2/2021 and ordered the turkey platter with sweet potato and greens. The only item suitable for consumption was the sweet potato. The corn bread was burnt. The turkey and green had so much salt on them they were inedible. Contacted using the online contact listing. No response. We have had much better at this place; however, too much salt ruins the meal. read more

Bland, dry bbq. Sigh. The sides were good but the star of the show was regrettable.

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. AMAZING pulled pork! The cornbread had a hint of jalapeño in it which tasted phenomenal with the pork and BBQ sauce. The mac-n-cheese was good, but a little drier than I would've particularly liked. My favorite was the gumbo! It was sausage and chicken based - no seafood which was incredible for this girl with a shellfish allergy. The sweet tea was extremely sweet - typical southern sweet tea. Mixed half with unsweet was out of this world. The ambiance is worth the trip itself! Super cool place to stop in while in Auburn. read more

This was the worst- be warned the downtown location turns into a bar after 8 - no masks and hundreds of college kids packed into the space - if I hadn't prepaid I would have never entered- workers cooking with no masks- food was really bad - maybe because they dont care since most of their patrons were too drunk to care- definitely not the stars as posted so sorry I spent my money there read more

This is a hard choice but I really believe that this place has the best BBQ in town. Psst..don't tell Price's or Mike and Ed's. There are several BBQ places in Auburn and they are mostly all good but Moe's, even though it's not really true southern BBQ, is really good. The side options are above and beyond the other options and that is partly what sets them apart. I will say my favorite is the Mississippi Mud Pie (the one I get every-time). The green beans, baked beans, and cornbread are my other favorites but they rotate several others that are good as well. I get the BBQ sandwich every time and my wife gets the shrimp Mo-Boy almost every time so those are two great options but basically everything on the the menu is good. Great atmosphere and very neatly decorated inside! Very cool Colorado theme about it! All in all you won't be disappointed choosing to eat here! read more

My dad and I ate here after a long and tiring walk around the Auburn University campus. It definitely hit the spot! We are from Texas and have never had white Alabama BBQ sauce and it did not disappoint! I had the smoked chicken platter with baked beans and mac and cheese and it was delicious. My dad grew up in Memphis and gives the pulled pork sandwich and bbq sauce two thumbs up. I also tried slaw for the first time and was pleasantly surprised!! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Check it out!!! read more

Been to Moe's while in Auburn a few times. It has been very consistent, and the prices are pretty reasonable. 5.50 for a decent sized sandwich is a winner in my book. Pork sandwich is my usual go-to . . . And I have not been disappointed. Great smoke flavor and incredibly tender. I am very picky with my pork bbq. Additionally, the service has always been great. Decided to go with a smoked chicken sandwich one day, and did not know they loaded it up with slaw and pickles, which I do not like. I took it up to the counter, they switched it out, and were incredibly polite about it. I was able to give the chicken sandwich to someone who needed it. Moe's will continue to be my pit-stop Alabama highway 85 bbq joint. read more
