They also have misting fans out there to manage the discomfort. You can smell the place from a block away. It's neat to be at a place surrounded by historic homes and old oak trees. Now onto the food. I got the 3 Meat Plate with Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. I've been smoking and eating Texas style meats for 25+ years, so I'm a bit of an admitted BBQ snob. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Not overwhelmingly Smokey, very tender, and still juicy. The ribs were a bit of a disappointment since they were overcooked and had a leathery texture. The flavor was incredible, just the texture was off. I wasn't upset though...it happens. The Pulled Pork was still very moist and easy to eat. The sides were very good also. The Beef Fat Tater Tots had a great texture and a Smokey flavor that I suspect came from a paprika based spice blend on them. The potato salad had great texture, but was very onion forward, so be aware if that is not your thing. My wife got the brisket plate, but got the lean cut from the flat of the brisket. It was still tender and moist. Her Roasted Garlic Mac-n-Cheese and Brussel Sprout sides gave me envy...they were both absolutely delicious! This place also has unique BBQ sauces. They have a house sauce which is a sweet sauce much like you might buy of any grocery store shelf, but better. They also had a Carolina style and a Jerk style BBQ sauce, which ended up being my favorite and was an unexpected surprise. It was a perfect companion for the pulled pork in particular. I gave the entire experience a 4 out of 5. Very solid lunch option. If you're in N.O. and aren't looking for seafood...give them a try.

However, they need to improve on the brisket. I just ordered the brisket sandwich, which they only serve on Tuesdays and one other day. However, there was no pink ring, and it was not as tender as it should have been. More like a piece of roast beef but again, the flavor was very good. There's nothing better than the smell of barbecue smoke in the air on a chilly autumn day. I'm looking forward to that. I only wish Moe's would serve beer to go with their wonderful food.

This was my first time trying hot pot and my second time trying the Korean BBQ…read more The restaurant is super spacious and appeared to be nice and clean. When you walk in there are coolers of drinks, slush machines, and Boba tea. There's also a buffet of the seafood and other things to choose from for your hot pot or grill. The waiter was friendly and super patient as I asked a ton of questions. (I told you it was my first hot pot experience) Lol. I ultimately ended up trying the "less spicy" broth, which was extremely spicy. Next time, I'll get no spice. I was extremely excited but ultimately ended up having mixed feelings when I found out every drink in the cooler is open for you to have with the hot pot and Korean BBQ. I wanted to try so many things but they were full sized bottles or cans and I didn't want to waste them. Plus, you can take anything our of the restaurant. That's understandable because you don't want people just opening a bunch of drinks just to be able to take them out. However, not allowing them to be taken out, promotes waste. I would suggest getting mini versions of all of the drinks so there's less chance of waste but, you can also enjoy more than one thing. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd go back. The 4 stars is for the whole drink set up and the fact that I wasn't given instruction on how to turn the hot pot on. I sat there thinking my food was cooking for a good 15 minutes and it wasn't.

I still love their boudin, of course, but I recently tried their smoked turkey salad! I love that they have a salad on their menu because generally, any BBQ you go to will never have a salad. And this one is really good! They aren't stingy on the ingredients either. The turkey was so juicy and I don't know how they did that, turkey is usually dry. Maybe they spatchcocked it. In any event, this juicy, moist, turkey salad was so good, I could not eat it all! It was so much food. DONT SLEEP ON THE SALAD AT A BBQ PLACE! :-D Also, mac n cheese is really good. We also ordered their meats, their brisket and pulled pork are great as well. Love their BBQ sauces. This is a side note, but I wish they would have made a second Central City BBQ when they instead did their tex mex Las Cruces. Metry has no good BBQ and I think CCBBQII would have made a killing! Keep up the fantastic work in Central City, I will be back for sure!

He told me everything is made in-house including the sausage I was waiting for. I usually get sausage at seafood places at lunch that are small, so I order two. These links were large enough for two people, and also smoky-flavored delicious! They came with homemade pickles and homemade pickled onions and bread. The lady checking me out was so friendly -the whole vibe was typical NO, which is a refreshing and familiar feeling from lunch places everywhere growing up. As a several generation native, places have changed a lot since Katrina, so it's nice to feel like I'm in a real place with real food. Went back after work to bring home a variety of menu items for the family. The ribs have a great rub, the brisket as I said before is so good and tender. The BBQ chicken and brisket was the best I've had anywhere in NO , including some way more expensive places near City Park. A fantastic mac & cheese with just enough jalapeno (I always add Tabasco to mac and cheese & this didn't need any, it was perfect). My family loved the beans-it is all around a great place. So many more things to try! I'm glad I found this place!

So I brushed it off and said ok well, I'll try your jack Mac n cheese, mexi corn and dirty rice. (Figured I'd order something while I was there) she told me the total and walked away. I pulled my money out and put it in the counter. This woman was maybe in her 40s kinda heavy with long braids. When she came back to the register she just stood there staring at me "she said, "so how are you going to pay!?" I'm just in shock the way she was so rude, I said "cash" and I pointed at it on the counter she said "put it in my hand" I said "put it in your hand"!? She smirked and she said it's only proper! I'm like wow Then she grabbed the money angrily! I'm thinking what did I miss ‍ I feel like she was being racist! I'm not African American and I could not imagine why she treated me that way so what else am I supposed to think. Can you believe that the review I left on their page the owners responded by insulting me and saying my review was total bullshit! very unprofessional. They act sweet with the good reviews but if they get a negative review they should learn from it. Not talk crap about you and tell you your review is bullshit especially if they weren't there! They should ask the girl I described she'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I thought the Mac and cheese was good, corn was ok and the dirty rice was TERRIBLE! sure the bbq is good but not everything on the menu is great. Don't order the dirty rice unless you want to be disappointed.
