This was a great place to watch the game. My friends and I came here two weekends ago to watch the Alabama vs Vanderbilt game. There was a decent amount of people here. The bartenders were good, and I liked every drink I had. Highly recommended the lemon shot and bushwhacker. The atmosphere was enjoyable. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

We went about 8pm on Friday. Got 1. pork bbq plate. Meat was not hot, sides are tiny and the fried cornbread was stone cold and greasy. 2. Wings. Wings are good nice flavor sides are very small. 3. Loaded potato with corn bread. Potato was very good. Didn't get cornbread. Asked for it. Said they drop some now. Waited 15 more minutes asked again they handed me two pieces of stone cold greasy fried cornbread. Two bites and my stomach was playing rack city. On a bright nice atmosphere. read more

Went back for the first time since they opened a month ago and wow, the place is a dump. Owner is never there and/or rude or drunk, staff looks dirty (outside of bartenders) and the entire place needs a deep cleaning. Our food was cold, we got wings asked for 12 all flats an got 8 legs and 4 flats, undercooked, it was uneditable. What happened? Use to be ours and pretty much everyone in Cullman's go to place for good food, music and drinks. Hopefully they get it together, bc it use to be fun, clean and great food,, atmosphere and great staff and the old management and owners would be there everyday and make sure you had everything you needed. Now its just sad for community and for tourist who visit our beautiful downtown. Do better Moe's BBQ, we need what we had. read more

Absolutely the worst service. The cashier had a horrible attitude. First gave us 3 nugget on the catfish platter, which was a joke. Then told part of our group they had to wait 15 minutes till they got caught up and then countinued to take 5 orders before them when they told them they would come get them to place their order once's they started taking orders again. The lady at the register then came out to the table, asked who was missing orders and then said we must of lost your order after bringing one persons food on the orders out. Then once's the remaining food was brought out it was wrong. They walk off and act like they didn't hear you verses addressing the customer. Do not recommend!! However the bartender was awesome! The guy that finally brought us the Mac and cheese at least was nice and apologized. read more

I stopped in for an early dinner (a little after 4:30 PM) while driving through town. The bar was busy, but there was not a single table seated in the dining room. I went to the window and placed my order, and after almost 40 minutes with no food and no update, I simply requested a refund and left. read more

Was excited to spend a girls night out here with my friends as I'm new to town & heard such great things about the atmosphere! Not many places are open late, and we work late, so I decided to check it out! Excited for some wings & a drink or two. Sadly- I was let down when I was told at the door by the "owner" that my friend who was 20 could not come in. I've searched the website, and Moe's Cullman Facebook, where I could not find this info listed. As my friend was our DD, we took our business elsewhere. When I inquired about the younger teenager sitting inside the door, I was told it was different since she was here with her "legal guardian." I inquired about why they don't have wrist bands at the door for over/under age, since they should be legally ID'ing at the bar anyways, and was told by the same "owner" that she "doesn't have time to watch" my friend. Refusing entry by insinuating we would break the law is discrimination. Disappointing but I will take my service elsewhere from now. read more

I have been to several Moe's locations, but this one honestly was the best. Went for lunch. Had great customer service. Would recommend

Love the barbecue Nachos. The environment is also very relaxing and welcoming. I enjoyed it was a LARGE ENOUGH FOR 2 OF US

food is great and service is quick and fast. the ambience is great and what you would think of a hole in the wall. read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - Barbeque Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

Decent food, but better BBQ in town. The atmosphere is not bad, but not into their BBQ.

Do not order from here. In January, I gave more than 48 hours notice on an order for delivery. Fifteen minutes before it was supposed to be delivered, I received a call saying they would not be able to fill the order. After an apology, I decided today I'd give them another chance. After all, the wings are really good. Unfortunately, they screwed up this order too. It finally arrived more than an hour late. The olive branch was 10 extra wings, which we couldn't eat any way. Fact is, Moe's food is good. Their service is terrible. I will not do business here ever again. read more

I have been eating at Moe's Original BBQ in Cullman, AL regularly (2 to 4 times a month) since they opened in 2013 (with the exception of the portion of the pandemic in 2020 and early 2021 before vaccines were readily available). One thing that has been true the entire time is, their food is generally very decent, even downright good at times. They also have a somewhat small but decent selection of draft and bottled beer at reasonable prices. Another plus is, their draft beer is typically served in chilled glass mugs - as it should be. Pitchers of draft are also available. When things started returning to normal in mid-2021, I gave Moe's a 4-star review. For as long as Moe's has been at this location, they have routinely run out of things, especially their "today's sides". It was irritating to go to the ordering window and be told "I'm sorry, but we're out of that", even though it was still listed on the easily erasable chalkboard menu at the ordering window. I complained about them being out of things so often, and I was told that because they only serve the freshest food, they don't cook large quantities that might have to sit around for a while before being served. Sounds good in theory, but I've never noticed food seeming stale/old at other BBQ restaurants that are rarely out of menu items. This tendency to run out of sides seemed to be much improved when I resumed dining out in May of 2021. But things have steadily gone downhill at Moe's since then. Now, if you're going there expecting to eat chicken fingers, catfish fingers, chicken wings, french fries, or any number of other things on any given day, then you may need to have a plan B, or even a plan C. I rarely order their pulled BBQ pork (the one thing they usually seem to have) because, IMO, it's mediocre at best. My visit to Moe's on 02/05/2022 was, as the idiom goes, "the straw that broke the camel's back". At 18:30 they were out of chicken fingers, catfish fingers, and no fries to go with the sides-only order I was contemplating at that point. I decided to go back to my table and finish my beer and leave. Before I left, there were two groups of people at the ordering window that eventually turned around and walked out for obvious reasons. I'm not willing to entertain the idea that this might all be due to supply chain issues, or I would be seeing the same things at other BBQ restaurants which I've eaten at during this same time. Sure, any restaurant will eventually run out of something due to circumstances beyond their control. But to routinely be out of multiple items.... poor management is a much more plausible explanation. In addition to all of the above, this was the fourth week that the ONE-PERSON men's restroom has had no lock on the door. It used to have a lock, but it's missing. IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO PUT A NEW LOCK ON A DOOR! It's bad enough that the restroom is a one-person restroom in the first place, but to have no lock on the door is completely disrespectful of patrons. It's the kind of thing you might expect in a lower-class bar, but not a BBQ restaurant....or at least, that's what Moe's calls itself. This is also clearly about management. I've been fond of this little bar (oops, I meant restaurant) since they opened. They have a good location and a nice atmosphere overall. But there are several easily fixable shortcomings that keep them from getting a great review. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will finally improve. And if they do improve, so will this review. read more

I am very hesitant on getting food from any restaurant that's next to a truck stop but I am glad I decided to see what Moes was about because as soon as I opened the door I knew I was gonna love it. The staff was friendly and informative I went in on a Tuesday which is the only day they do brisket and let me tell you brisket is my favorite item to order at bbq places and not all briskets have been good but Moes is definitely my favorite brisket it had some good smoke flavor great bark and the sauce is nice and tangy if I'm being honest the brisket is a 10 but the sauce is a 9 and it just comes down to preference. I can't even choose one star of the show though because the jalapeño toasted cornbread was a knockout the cheese grits were good the Mississippi mud pie was great overall I hope I'm passing through again because that kind of bbq that executes well at every level does not happen everywhere! read more

The place is very cute. The atmosphere is nice The chicken was good but the sides were delicious. Mac & cheese was awesome but if you like sweet potatoes the sweet potato casserole was the best ! read more

Would definitely go here again. Quick, fun and casual environment. Chicken was very moist, fries were crisp and seasoned. Catfish was very good and great breading (cornmeal and the right seasoning)! White sauce was good too just never had white bbq sauce before. read more

Food is great, when you can actually eat there. They are habitually late on opening (which I understand about being short staffed) but let your customers be informed. No signage of adjusted opening hours and repeated instances of ignored phone calls. If you notice multiple people at your front door being turned away due to a lack of communication, you might want to fix that. We are understanding, but if we see employees in there working yet the doors are locked and calls are unanswered, it leaves a bad taste in our mouth and won't return to visit again for a while... read more

First time eating at this location. I've ate at the one in Huntsville. I enjoyed it. I had the smoked wings platter(buffalo). It comes with two sides. I got baked beans and mac n cheese. My meal was very good. Good flavor on the wings and the sides were very good. Only negative which really isn't a knock on this place, just my issue is they don't have a kids menu. My 7 year old is picky about what he eats and there wasn't anything here that he eats. Like I said, that's not a knock on the restaurant, I enjoyed the food very much. Would definitely recommend and I'll eat here again read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - a tray of food - Barbeque Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

Good catfish. Had boudin balls and fried green tomatoes too. One of the best meals I have Had at Moes. Nice location too.

To begin, this restaurant is always out of food. Arrived at 5:00 PM, there were no wings, no dressing, no baked beans and no squash casserole. Actually, there was squash casserole but as we were ordering the kitchen staff returned to the kitchen and the casserole was burnt. In their words "very burnt". All these items were on the board as available. We ordered catfish. When it arrived it was so burnt it was not edible. As we were leaving the bartender, who by the way was very nice, noticed the burnt catfish and offered to give us a gift card. We declined. I will never return to this establishment again. Take my advice and avoid this place. I hesitate to even give them one star. read more

Just had lunch today, 27May and had Smoked Chicken with 2 sides. The Sandwich serving is great and the 2 sides of potato salad and baked beans were also tasty. I highly recommend the place. read more

Dinner breakdown. Atmosphere is excellent (9/10). Ordered fried pickles for appetizer, which hit the table less than 5 mins later. Pickles were good, well seasoned. Then came the main course. Wife had Brunswick stew and cornbread, and raved about it. I got the pulled pork platter. Meat was moist, but practically no BBQ sauce. Fries were absolutely perfect and delicious and so were the baked beans. Cornbread was also good. On to desert ( and my disappointment ). Wife reese's chocolate pie, which I had to try, was really good. My banana pudding (really sweet but otherwise very bland)however was a big let down. As for the staff, they seemed like it was a bother to take my order, like I had annoyed them somehow. I could see that if it were right at closing but we ordered at 6:30 p.m. Bottom line - Food was overall good, serve a staff seemed annoyed by our presence, and if you get dessert, leave the banana pudding alone. read more

Great food and service. My complaint is that the music many times is too loud. I'm in my 30s, but too often I have to practically yell at my family so they can hear me. read more

Oh hell yes. Get the pulled pork Sammy with 2 sides and an IPA and engulfed in the goodness. Great food. Clean. Nice bar. Great servers and friendly smiles. My first time to Cullman, AL and not my last mostly b/c of Moe's! Thank you staff and establishment. read more

Ate here Sunday, Everything we had was great.my favorite is the sweet cornbread. There sauce is a mixture of sweet and spicy. Atmosphere was great.. read more

Moe's Original Bar B Que - Bbq plate, home chips and skillet corn - Barbeque Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

First off let me be clear the food is great and always is but my interaction with some of the staff ordering and making payment is the issue. NOT NICE NOT FRIENDLY. Seemed pissed they had to be at work. This was my first contact point with this restaurant and I will find some where else that would appreciate it when I buy food which in turn supply's the guy ding for her hourly wage. Sign said to be patient due to subpar staffing...only thing subpar at Moe's BBQ in Cullman was her attitude. read more

I love everything I've tried. The smoked wings and rub are outstanding. The pulled chicken is great. Nice outdoors courtyard style eating area and big bar. One of my favorite stops when in Cullman. read more

Moes in general is great BBQ and I have been in several of the locations in both Alabama and Colorado. The one in Cullman leaves much to be desired. Running out of food that is on the menu prior to noon on a Sunday shows exceptionally poor management. Even the "daily specials" they had on the board weren't available. It's chalk- erase it before the people in line get their orders ready. It is horrible customer service, poor management, and a complete lack of awareness. This was my last Alabama meal before heading home to Texas and it will be the last time I ever visit the Moes in Cullman unless I want to see a good bar fight. I'd avoid this place! read more

We frequent Moe's pretty often. Especially during second Friday's and other DT events. Understandably, they run out of food super quick during these busy times and wait times for food items left are usually 1-2 hours. I've also seen people freak out over this and be total "Karens" to the employees, which definitely isn't warranted. But, just because one customer is rude and hateful, doesn't mean you need to have an attitude to every customer after that. Not all of us are out to get you or be hateful during these busy times. My main beef is when we order take out ever now and then. It is never ready in the time frame they give you, generally up to 20 minutes over the wait time even when they're not busy. And that's when they remember to put your order in from the call. Because sometimes they don't at all. Best things on the menu are the nachos and the wings--if available. And they have a great Happy Hour deal to come sit and dine in and drink. Bartenders are usually nice. Bottom line, dine in on a normal night of the week, and it's fine. read more

Half of what was on the menu is gone, service is horrible, employees seem more interested in fun than service, it's been an 35 minutes and we still don't have food, and there's no one here to hold them up, and people who got here after us got our food. read more

Tried the combo with pulled pork and catfish with mac-n-cheese and gumbo as sides (about $11). The pork was tender and tasty, but not a fan of the vinegar based bbq sauce. Both the catfish and gumbo were excellent - although, a little on the salty side. Mac-n-cheese was pretty basic, but the cornbread was a tasty treat! Loved the atmosphere with the exposed brick, wood tables, and sheet metal. Super friendly - just head on to the back and order off the big menu. read more

Fanatastic smoked food. Great service and a healthy meal. Really enjoyed the flavor of the smoked chicken plate. Why go eat fake hamburger meat when u can eat real meat for good prices $10 all included so this should be one $ read more

Really terrible. We got there coming from out of town and their website says they close at 3pm. We got there at 1pm and they were closed. People were inside but they wouldn't even come to the door and tell us they were closed. No sign on the door or anything. I had to call to find out why we couldn't get in. Not a good way to run a business. read more

Really enjoyed the Food here Monday the Smoked Turkey sandwich was very Good. Really appreciated the fact they are dog friendly for their Patio!!!!! read more

Me and my friend just went to moes in cullman and my friend got denied because he had a paper copy of his id. He recently had been there a week past and got denied for expired i.d. But that's reasonable. But then he denied me because my I.D. Was a tad damaged. Like barely. He kept saying my I.d. Was altered very loud so others could here. We both had military I.D.'s but he would not accept those either. Thumbs down read more

This place is a hit or miss. I've been to several other Moe's locations in other states and never had an issue. I have a gluten allergy so I always order a smoked chicken sandwich with NO BUN, that's the only special request. Depending on who is working though, they may go behind your back and up charge you for the larger chicken platter that is absolutely not what was ordered and then will argue with you if you try to have it fixed. Same situation happened today and even better, a big slice of cornbread was stuck right in the middle--not gluten friendly at all. I've always ordered this at all the locations I've visited and not once had a problem except for the Cullman, AL location. If they would listen to the customers during ordering it would be great, but then they argue with you saying that requesting no bun automatically is an up charge?? What?? I'd rather drive out of state to another location just so I know what I'll be getting every time. read more

Short and sweet. We've been there many times and will go in the future, but the truth is, Moe's is OK. Decent drinks . . . for this southern area; decent atmosphere; nice weekend music; and mostly friendly and adequate service. However, the food is inconsistent and it's gotten to the point when we go, it's only for drinks, happy hour, and entertainment. This is not to say I don't occasionally get happy hour wings, but even the rub on the wings is quite inconsistent and changes in flavor from day to day. Positives: Happy hour, full bar, decent service, good choice and flavor of BBQ sauces, great weekend entertainment. Negatives: Often times out of certain food products, flavor of food is inconsistent, evenings can often have twenty-somethings who have had "one plus one too many." read more

This is the best smoked chicken you will ever eat. Always good quality. I have eaten at Moe's all over, including the first one In Vail, Co and this is by far the best one. Good sides. read more

Our favorite place to eat in Cullman. The nachos are our go to item and personal favorite.. Instead of typical tortilla chips they use "homemade". My husband loves the BBQ wings. Before 7pm they offer egg rolls that are made in store are are very good. The Bloody Mary's are amazing and very consistent. The bartenders rim the glass with Moe's dry rub they use on the wings and it is amazing. They typically have live bands on Friday and Saturday night and it gets really loud in there so it's not kid friendly. Also, the outside patio area is dog friendly. read more

Surprisingly enough, straight bbq is their weakest spot. The sandwich is good, especially Bama style, but once you get it out of the bun on the platter, the sauce is very eh. Sides can be hit or miss, too. I liked the Moe Boy sandwich, though. My mother used to like the smoked chicken, but after they served it to her bloody and were quite snotty when she asked about it, I don't think she'll be back. Like, sorry we interrupted your texting. (I'm not being cute here--it's kind of hard to miss when the cashier is draped over the counter with her phone.) The music is always on point, but I wish the TVs would play something besides sports. But again, since they were so rude to my mom, I think I'll take this place out of my visit home rotation. read more

Called and ask what time they closed and I was told 3 pm. 45 minutes later at 2:30 I show up and they're closed. I called and was told the manager had something to come up. This is the second time it has happened. I will not be back. Apparently they need to fire every one and start over. read more
