MoJoe's is a classic Raleigh burger spot and an easy staple, especially for NC State students and grads. The burgers are consistently good and juicy, exactly what you want from a no-frills burger joint. One thing that deserves a shoutout is the ranch. It's some of the best in Raleigh and definitely worth adding to your order. It elevates everything from chips (house made chips) to burgers and stands out in a big way. The main downside for me was the service. During our visit, staff didn't really circulate to check on tables. I ended up sitting with an empty water for most of the meal and had to track someone down for anything extra, which took away from the experience. Still, the burgers carry this place. A reliable, laid-back burger spot with strong local appeal.
Surprisingly easy parking, quick seating and service, and gorgeous comfort food. We enjoyed the downtown vibe with NC State fans and Valentine's couples. Two types of vegetarian options, the veggie patty or black bean burger, are on offer which we appreciated. The burgers and homemade chips with MoJoe's Sauce (Cajun ranch) were delicious. Can't believe this was our first visit after so many years in Raleigh. We've been missing out!
MoJoe's, I can't wait to come back to you! Think of dive bar meets your favorite local food spot. It's not huge on the inside, but the food is the star and we easily found a seat for 2 on a Friday night! Service is simple, kind, and to the point which I can appreciate as well. We did have to park in a lot nearby with a very short walk, but seems street parking and lots are the main options. Now on to what you're here for: the food! Drinks were pretty good for that dive bar feel. Simple options but also really fun and creative cocktails which I love. We enjoyed two holiday special cocktails: 1. Pomegranate Ranch Water 7/10: very simple, def could have had a bit more of a pomegranate flavor to make it a 10 for me. 2. The Cheermeister's Sour 9/10: my favorite of the two! Great sour taste which complemented the whiskey perfectly in case you aren't a huge whiskey lover. Food: * BYOB - Beef: 10/10: no notes. Delicious and the buns were so soft but not very sweet which I loved! A solid burger all around and very juicy & seasoned throughout * MoJoe's Famous Wings: 8/10: flavor was amazing, great ranch (iykyk), and super hot coming out! My only reason for docking points was because of the wing size. I do like them a little smaller, but still delicious! * Fried Pickles - 9/10: crispy, hot, and not overly seasoned breading wise which worked for the fried pickles which can lead a bit salty if the breading is overly seasoned Can't wait to visit Raleigh again and stop for a burger for sure. :)
Great service and food. Fresh quality ingredients. Onion rings are awesome. A little pricey but worth it
The fam was in the mood for some good, no-frills burgers and fries, so we ventured into downtown Raleigh to check out MoJoe's. This divey little burger joint offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a small parking lot and street parking where available. We went straight for the good stuff and ordered the Carnivore that has cheddar cheese, bacon, and chili, along with the Inferno which comes with pepper jack cheese, Cajun spice, grilled jalapeños, and grilled onions. You can also build your own burger anyway you like. From this burger-loving family, MoJoe's definitely passes the burger test. They were exactly what we were hoping for, and I must say the onion rings and fries were stars of their own show. I love a good onion ring, and these guys do theirs right. They stay busy, and it looked like both the staff and kitchen were getting a little overloaded, so food took a bit longer than expected to come out. Honestly though, that doesn't gripe me too much. The quality, portions, and price make the extra wait worth it. Another stamp of approval in Raleigh goes to MoJoe's. We'd happily stop back the next time we're in town.
I have wanted to try MoJoe's for over two years. So glad I did. Since it was the first time for me and my lunch buddy, we both built our own hamburgers. I had ketchup, onions, and pickles topping my beef burger. It was delicious. My lunch partner had a similar hamburger. We had fried okra (on specials menu) and onion rings. Both were great sides. The service was great. Teamwork and creating a great dining experience seems to be everyone working in the restaurant goal. The restaurant itself has outdoor, covered porch and inside dining room tables. It felt to me that I was at a restaurant at the beach.
Yes this is a known burger joint, but their wings are phenomenal! Our favorite place to get wings when in the Raleigh area. They are consistently good! Crispy and saucy! The service is excellent and they are always playing fun music!
First time trying MoJoes, downtown Raleigh!. The waitress asked, "how long have you lived here"? All of the 24 years it has been open, was my response. I had a 6oz bacon burger with fries. My husband ordered the southwestern chix sandwich with grilled peppers and avocado. His side was home made onion rings which he loved. I had 1/2 order of krinkle fries. Everything was fantastic and I cant wait to go back & bring other first timers! Our server, Kailey was delightful and attentive.
Found this after I looked up the best burgers in Raleigh. Tried the Ranchero and onion rings with the house sauce and boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it did not disappoint. Picture is of what I had leftover.
Fantastic burgers. Flavorful and of sufficient size. Sides are also great. Waitstaff is attentive and prompt. I've only visited once but I'm certain that I'll soon become a regular.
This is a happening place. Lots of seating choices both indoors and either covered patio or umbrella. We opted for the indoor bar. Didn't have the beer, but based on reviews, I had to try the Veggie Burger which was excellent. Sticking with veggies, I also ordered the O-rings to share (my justification) which were also decent. The menu gives you a choice of either build a burger or go with their suggested combos. I chose the complements which came with my burger which was not extra. It can add up if you have specific condiments you must have. Your custom order is served hot and fresh, hence the slight wait. The service here is attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back for more!
I wanted to like this place more. I got the Breakfast Burger which has a fried egg, cheese and bacon. Unfortunately, the burger patty was dry and overcooked with no pink (they don't ask how you'd like it done), and the egg was also way overdone. The whole thing was disappointing. Onion rings: These were delicious and came with the spicy MoJoe's sauce. Fruity pebbles milkshake: Probably the best part of the meal. Staff were average nice, but quite busy and rushed. Parking: Do I need to say more than good luck given it's in Glenwood South? There are about 10 spots right in their lot, but everything was taken (at 4pm on a Saturday). I wish you well finding street parking.
I had a taste for onion rings and I'd read that MoJoe's has some of the best in town. I ordered online (fairly easy); Mozzarella sticks, the Smokehouse Cheddar (Big Mo), a side of onion rings and two kids meals (Chicken Tenders & tots) with a side of MoJoe's sauce. They had curbside service, so I took advantage, but still had to step inside because my onion rings weren't in the bag. Not a problem, as the manager came back with them pretty quickly. I'd definitely give it another try, but this time, eating in. I felt like everything tasted more saltier than I liked, but I honestly would give it another try.
I've driven by MoJoe's for several years since moving to Raleigh and kept saying "oh we should try it at some point".... We finally checked it out and now it's in the rotation for really good burgers! Idk why I waited so long to get here, by now that I know and I want everyone else to too. There is a parking lot next to the building - they will tow you if you park there and don't go into the restaurant though. So don't wander away. Sometimes they have a greeter, sometimes it's a seat yourself situation. Service is quick, the menu is large without being overwhelming, and the most important part: the food is good. I always get a classic, all the fixings, and fries. I also always bribe my husband to get the onion rings with his food and then we swap a little. The MoJoe sauce that comes with the onion rings is money! Also the onion rings somehow manage to stay together in each bite, which is awesome. I'm a big fan! read more

Have always heard good things about this place so finally decided to try it out. The wait for seating was maybe 2 seconds which was amazing. The service was good and attentive. And the menu had a good variety of things that would make me want to come back and try. Also the vibes were good it seems like a good place to watch a game. To start off the meal we ordered some fried pickles as an appetizer and I loved them. They were just the right amount of crunchy and flavorful. The crinkle cut fries are a sleeper in the industry and if you do them right they are great and adding a dipping sauce is the way to go. Now onto the burger I got a smash burger with lettuce Moe joe sauce and cheese. It was a very solid burger! On my one bite score I gave it a 7.7 which is a very good score. The bun was hit or miss. For the other two burgers that had more toppings on them the bottom bun quickly got soggy. For mine it was fine the whole time. Overall I really enjoyed it and definitely would love to try different things on the menu next time. read more

This place deserves more acknowledgement. You can't go here and not get something on their special menu. On top of that, everything is affordable with so many deals! For three sliders (special menu), two whiskey drinks ($1 of whiskey drinks), crinkle cut fries , two added sauces (I didn't know sauces were a few extra cents) - you pay a little less than $40. And that's with 15% tip included. The girls working are also super friendly. Star of the show, crinkle cut fries. Can't have it without the mojoe sauce. I love lemon flavor things. read more
An easy walk from the Cigar lounge - this gem is tucked away! Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. The wait staff was amazing! They greeted us upon entry. Assisted by recommending amazing dishes and checked on us frequently. I went for the nachos and Wow!!! Sooo delish! The turkey burger was small - looked like a kids meal / but still good for 930pm. The restaurant was very cozy and had a clean bathroom. I'm ready to return.... Tip: Ask for the special sauce when ordering French fries !! You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a great pre-concert burger fest at MoJoe's on Glenwood a couple of weeks ago. The service was quick, the food was great and the staff nice. The day we went it was hot out but we were able to sit inside in the AC which was great. They were busy but again the quality and service were top notch! read more

MoJoe's Burger Joint is definitely a crowd pleaser. I sat at the bar and was helped right away and offered a drink. The service is top tier and quick as everyone is working together. The burgers are juicy and delicious and a very popular place for NC folks which I loved. It definitely got packed and they have several tv's to watch the game and drink specials. As a person that is from out of town, I definitely loved the calm, laid back vibe and the easy parking. Do yourself a favor and order the tater tots with chili and cheese and you will thank me later ! read more

I came here Sunday afternoon for some lunch and it didn't disappoint. I got the Carolina bbq sandwich and a side of crinkle fries. Everything tasted good, the sauce for the sandwich came in a separate container so you can pour it yourself. Overall the food was good and they had plenty of seating. I sat on their enclosed patio ! read more

Been coming here for years. Food is great, staff is great. Ambiance is awesome. BUT. We came here this time and were waiting for our table. A guy bought in a cute dog. But we noticed 3 wait staff come over rubbing the dog. Now , we saw one go straight to a table grab the ladies cup to give her a refill. Not sure if the other 2 staff washed their hands or not. But this one did not. We left before being seated. We have a dog and love him and have also taken him there with us. But maybe staff just not play with pets?? Still this place is amazing and if this does not bother you I would say go. read more
