Pulled Pork Platter. Baked beans, corn bread, mac n cheese
Danielle Z.

Me and my bf are new to the area, from CA, and it was my turn to find a new lunch spot. We love bbq and it's super close to UVA, so I picked Moe's. The service was great! Very kind staff. Food was perfect. Best bbq I've had in a while. Loved the baked beans and corn bread. Everything was yummy and cooked perfectly. Me and my bf will definitely be back. I also love how cozy and comfortable it felt. Sauces available countertop.

Bama style pork sandwich with an add Moe brisket, baked beans, and mac & cheese.

Great food, friendly staff they are working hard to get through the giant construction project going on next-door!

I got the moe boy. The sandwich was as good. A little salty. I would've loved to have gotten the collard greens but they were only available for the brisket. Food came out fast and staff was nice. They'd benefit from offering more sides, like cabbage.

Ribs, baked beans, Mac-n-cheese, and cornbread.

I happen to be in Charlottesville for 1 night. Wife and I were craving ribs. Found this place and went. Atmosphere is great. Pretty chill, good music playing and friendly people. The food is absolutely fantastic. The ribs were delicious, tender, and juicy. Mac-n-cheese was great. Baked beans were the best I've ever had. Cornbread is amazing also. Talked to the cook after to tell him how much I loved it. (I think he was Moe) He told me about red beans and rice special today. Told him I would likely be back. So, I went back. Incredible. I was too excited to eat it and forgot to take a pic. I can't wait for another reason to come back to Charlottesville and eat here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Moe's Original BBQ. Reasonably priced and extremely delicious. Go try it.

Absolutely amazing BBQ at Moe's! The turkey was sublime: tender and made even more delicious by Moe's signature BBQ sauce. Mmmmmm! And to make it even better, I got some warm cornbread and some of the best banana pudding I've ever tasted. Will 100% come to Moe's every time I'm in Charlottesville!!

Smoked Wings Platter.
Nick S.

Pretty solid bbq, had the smoked wings with their coleslaw which was fantastic. Service was great and very clean establishment.

Smoked Chicken Wings Platter
Jim L.

Wife and I stopped by Moe's for a Sunday lunch. Parking is in the rear. The interior is warm and cozy. The cashier took our order and the food came out after a short wait. I had the smoked chicken wing platter and wife had the half smoked chicken. I loved that the food came out hot. Chicken wings were moist and tasty. It had a nice smokey flavor. I preferred the traditional bbq over the "Alabama" white sauce. The sides were good. I recommend asking the cashier about their daily special sides. The sweet potato fries that came with my wife's platter was very good. If you like great bbq at reasonable prices then this is the place.

Collard greens and Mac and cheese
Brandie W.

Holy smoker!! I have been dreaming about this place since we went! It was so so so good! That Mac and cheese is heavenly and those ribs honey, delicious! I am not a fan of cornbread with actual corn in it, and this delivered! It doesn't have corn pieces but it does come with a touch of a kick and then they toast it..yum! I could put that Alabama White sauce in a cup and drink it too. We will be making special trips up for this place, that's for sure!

1/2 Chicken Platter
J E.

I enjoyed lunch here on a weekday and was lucky enough to get here right before the lunch crowd arrived! This place gets busy at lunch time, so be prepared! They have an interesting menu loaded with the typical smoked eats (chicken, pork, ribs, etc) and so many sides, all homemade, as well as sandwiches that all looked quite appetizing. Service was great... very friendly and helpful! Their sauce is good, has black pepper style spice to it. The chicken is perfectly brined and nicely smoked! Sides were good.... Mac & Cheese was a fav! Cornbread stuffing was second fav... Cole slaw is interesting, but not that great. Tater salad was nicely done. Overall, I'll be back, as I definitely want to try their "Moe Boy Shrimp Sandwich!"

Wings are worth it for sure. Sides knock it down a star but solid barbecue for a city with not a lot of options.

This is the most amazing food! So down to earth, yet sophisticated food. The Notorious PIG is not…read moreto be missed! Their soups are again, delicious and elevated above many restaurants in the area. Staff are friendly and courteous. As a former Seattleite, I consider myself to be a serious coffee critic, and lover. They know how to make a wicked latte! Some of the best in Charlottesville. My only critique is that I wish they still had inside seating, too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. But that doesn't stop me from getting my food to go and making a mess of myself on the way home. LOL!

What do I love most about Ivy Provision's? That they remind me of home in Virginia Beach decades…read moreago when TASTE Unlimited first opened. Better yet I respect the overall operation after a single visit and know they have their act together. Ivy Provisions is located just outside UVA grounds make it very convenient for this HOO Dad to check out the first time. Of course I looked at their reviews, menu and photos of sandwiches to properly vet. I was astonished and made this a must stop. I caught them at a good time on a weekday before close and better yet knew they were featuring lobster rolls on the Ivy Provisions Instagram feed. Parking was easy in their own lot. The non commercialized building was a welcome site. This is the one and only Ivy Provisions. Grab a bag of chips, salad or treat with a bottle drink as you head to the counter of Ivy's cozy space. The young gentleman was friendly and efficient with answering a few questions. My wife ordered the Gobbfather which is a Turkey Melt on white. I ordered the lobster roll special. Seating is all outdoors on the patio. Food orders are prepared and sent out in a bag through the window, you will find utensils and napkins in this location. The area was clean. The restroom is gender neutral and was also clean with proper supplies. My wife enjoyed her turkey melt and found it so big she could not finish. My lobster roll I had no problem dusting off. It was a beautiful roll with fresh Maine lobster and soft roll. Total home run. Find me back at Ivy Provisions the next time in Charlottesville. A full 5 stars and job well done all around.

If I could give it 6 stars I would... it's literally a HIDDEN gem! Even though I followed google…read moremaps... it led to an empty street (so I'm going to post the beautiful courtyard where it's tucked away - it's a left turn from the Main Street in downtown going towards Mudhouse coffee) After I took my first bite... I was like... why wasn't there a line out the door and around the street... then I started getting a little mad that this man wasn't receding the hype that he should be getting! Where is Keith Lee when you need him. La Bodega might the greatest $5 sandwich I've ever had... simple ham and cheese on a crisp focaccia... but Oh the ingredients are so fresh! The Wichburger is 2 patty American Wagyu smash burger on a potato bun with a special sweet sauce... nothing fancy... but it all perfectly comes together! Please don't let this place suffer because it's tucked away... bring your cousins, enemies and hamsters ... just come! Can't wait to try every single sandwich on the menu! The chef is an artist!

We were not able to find any available street parking. We ended up parking in the Staples lot off Ridge McIntire Road and walking the short distance. The name of the restaurant is in small writing on the door so keep your eyes peeled. The inside is basically a counter with a small kiosk where you place your order. Behind the counter is the kitchen. There is no interaction with the staff which is a bit impersonal. We were in and out of there in no more than 5 minutes. There is no seating inside but there is a common courtyard outside with some tables. We took our order to a nearby winery that allows outside food. Win, win - beautiful day, wine and yummy sandwich. We ordered the Turkey No Wolf to split and a package of potato chips. It was the perfect size for us. The sandwich had plenty of inside goodies, and the bread was delicious. Definitely recommend!
