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.

One was the sweet potato fries, which were super delicious and the other was their homemade applesauce, which was absolutely amazing. They had lots of sauces on the table to choose from. I really liked the classic barbecue and the Berry one. Everything tasted good. Our waitress was amazing and helped us pick up breakfast spot for the next morning. She was also just a really great waitress and super attentive. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Service was super fast, the building is cute, but not a long lingering place (metal patio type chairs for seating).

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!!

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.

Terri was with me this time and got the last burger they had as part of the Pulled Pork Burger so I tried one of the daily specials....a Cuban Salad Sandwich. Not quite sure what I was expecting but the sandwich wasn't what I was expecting. I'll describe it as a Cuban Egg Salad Sandwich...Cubanized by the pork and mustard it was a good sandwich but I was looking for more pork to be honest. I also ordered the Brisket Eggroll again and tried the Smoked Mac and Cheese this time...excellent choices! Terri enjoyed the Pulled Pork Burger as much as I did on my previous stop. She ordered the fried potatoes as a side and thought the addition of onions to it would be a good idea...I tried them and I concur, they were very good but the onion idea would put them over the top. We grabbed a 3 MEAT COMBO to go with Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, and Brisket as the main event and the fried potatoes, baked beans, and smoked mac and cheese for the sides. This will make for a great meal later and tomorrow which is also what I did on my first stop here a few weeks ago. We'll be back again as the food is delicious, the service is very friendly and accommodating and the ambiance of the place is very comfortable....when you get out of your vehicle and the business end of those two smokers hit your senses you know your in for a treat!

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.

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.
