There was very little wait time between orders and our water glasses were never past 1/2 empty. The cheese curds were light and crispy on the outside and melty gooey goodness on the inside. The bacon burger was a perfect medium and dripping with tasty juices. The sweet potato fries were perfect: crunchy outside and soft on the inside. And not too salty. The pulled pork sandwich was packed with tender juicy pork. Perfectly seasoned. So good, you don't really even need any BBQ sauce. The Mac & cheese has just the right amount of seasoning. Good balance between pasta and cheesy sauce. The brisket sandwich was unbelievable! The brisket was smoked perfect. Tender & juicy with just the right amount of fat. It pulled apart perfectly. And so flavorful. The sandwich was so packed, there was enough for lunch the next day. Just amazing brisket! Yeah....we're going back.

Service was super fast, the building is cute, but not a long lingering place (metal patio type chairs for seating). We stopped for a late lunch at 3, it wasn't busy, and our food was out in under 10mins (I live the speed of places that already have the main part of the dish (I.e. meat) cooked!). I'd definitely go back when we are in the area again!

You order at the counter and they call you when it's done. I had the baked beans and cornbread. My husband had the 1/2 rack and said it was fabulous. I wish there had been honey on the table. The cornbread was hard. The place is very cute, the staff very nice. The portions are generous. The cost is on point! We have found it impossible to find delicious bbq so we were happy. There really isn't any "service" to be given. We will go back again. It's a great location, kid friendly, and consistent hours of operation. It has an outdoor eating area too. We highly recommend Moski's BBQ!!

I've had barbecue all over the country--from Georgia to Tennessee to Texas--and I can honestly say…read morethis was the best brisket and bbq pork ribs I've ever had. The brisket was perfectly cooked: incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with natural flavor. What really stood out was the seasoning. It enhanced the meat without overpowering it, allowing the rich, smoky beef flavor to shine through with every bite. The customer service was just as impressive. Everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire experience even more memorable. Outstanding food paired with exceptional hospitality is a rare combination - a gem hidden in Cedar Rapids. Highly recommend the place if you're ever in town.

We visited this town today and we're driving around looking for somewhere to eat for 20 minutes and we stumbled upon this place. What a hidden gem! Cool decor and lots of conversation pieces. The service was great, friendly and the options of different meats/dishes was great! They had a lot of cool beers to try and some cute desserts too. Will definitely be coming back, and pointing bbq lovers to this cool spot!

Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.

This was the worst BBQ I had in my entire life or even The fries were old and tasted microwaved or…read morecooked in old oil not sure . The bbq sauces were terrible. Best way describe them if you take an okay sauce and make it old and delude it with water and make old bbq water you will get the idea of what it tastes like. The brisket was lukewarm , old, not seasoned, bland and dry, no smoke ring. It was like all the flavour was sucked out of the meat. Bun was okay not stale at least. Cheese curds had gross batter and some were still frozen inside . We ate it because we were traveling and had no other choice but I'm helping next person out passing by to make their choices wisely. I wouldn't not recommend this place. As far as atmosphere, not friendly towards us but seems more friendly to table next us so probably picks and chooses his " politeness " and it was hotter than the sun in there . We had to wait for a while for our food, they were not very busy.
