I live by one moral in life, never eat at a restaurant with the e missing. We should have stuck with our gut when we saw three stars. The food was subpar to inedible. The prime rib was ok. When the waitress says the only fresh vegetables are in the coleslaw you know it's sure to be good. The wait staff though was nothing but awesome, we just wished the food was better. We will be using their cornbread as a hammer from now on based on how hard it was. Here's a poem if you don't believe me: If it's blu It's probably ew If you want bad meat This place is neat The cow would have cried When he died If he knew he was going to be served here read more

The food was delicious. The service was a less than five minute wait. With many check ups from our waiter, in which he filled our water too! The ambiance of the place was very calm with good music. read more

I hate to give it 2 stars after walking out and not trying the food but after seeing the prices and the unfriendly hostess service, we chose to go to another BBQ place that was half the price. $35.95 for a half rack of ribs and $45.95 for a full rack is comical lol. We got the same thing down the road for $22 so be prepared to pay tourist prices. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant while driving through Moab. The patio was nice and open, and they allowed us to bring our dog. The Big N' Nasty was our winner for dinner. These decked out fries were delicious with the brisket. So yummy! read more

This is a solid spot to eat when in Moab!! Great pulled pork, giant list of beers to choose from, awesome sides (we had Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries - highly recommend) and pretty tasty smoked chicken wings - we had the garlic buffalo and Cajun sauces. They were out of pig wings when we arrived which was a bummer because I'm sure they're just as awesome as the rest of the items on the menu. We sat in the bar area, appropriately spaced apart from others. Everything right away was clean, smelled clean, servers are wearing masks and gloves, and they are 100% following the new COVID regulations. We were told they have been open since May 1st so they are ready to go and want to serve you the best they can. The staff was so friendly and happy to be back at work. We loved our waiter and he had the best recommendations. A little off the main strip but a big patio and large indoor seating area with cold beer, good BBQ, and lively atmosphere. Definitely recommend! read more

We sat in the bar area and it had a nice vibe. They have live music. The service was attentive. We had the smoked prime rib and gumbo with brisket. The cornbread roll was stale. But everything else was great. read more

We stopped by the Blu Pig after visiting Arches. I chose it because they had fried catfish on the menu (I'm from the south and miss catfish)! The menu had a wide array of options, including lots of non-BBQ dishes. The foot-long mozzarella sticks were okay, 3/5. The catfish was very good, as was the fried okra (!!!) and sweet potato I got on the side. My party got brisket and pulled pork and also enjoyed their meals. I got a cocktail but it definitely could have used more liquor. The service was pretty good. All in all a solid restaurant albeit a bit expensive! read more

Food was alright, very fast. By husbands brisket was pale and chewy. Not a huge amount of restaurants to pick from but we won't come back here. Restaurant looks inviting and staff are very sweet just not the food for us. read more

Staff was friendly, food was great and they allow dogs in the outdoor patio area - thank you!

Decided to stop by before heading back to California. The food was good. I wouldn't say there was anything special about it. I'd say it was the typical BBQ place. My husband got the 3 choice BBQ combo, and I got the wings. Wings needed a bit more buffalo sauce, which seemed a little dry, but still, the sauce still had good flavor, and the wings were cooked just right. My husband's Margarita was good, and I had the strawberry lemon. I do love the fact that they do allow dogs out in the patio. It's sometimes hard to find a place to eat with your dog. Also, I did notice that in front of this place, on the street there was a big rig parked, so if any truck drivers are looking for a good place to eat that isn't a subway or a Wendy's, I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Friend of mine suggested the wings here; and, yes they were spot-on! Buttery style sauce that was very tasty and the heat was subtle. Service was good too (until the relief bartender came to work and did nothing but complain; customers don't want to hear about your gripes - star deducted for that reason). Will definitely come back for the wings. read more

Great service and great food, prices are not to bad but it's worth the price. Third time coming to the restaurant, we are professional BBQ team and master KCBS judges and we have returned to this place every time we are in Moad simply because they are that good. Great BBQ with great service. read more

I ordered a 6 pice wings and only got 5 wings and wrong sauce. we also ordered the combo 2 meats tri tip and turkey and it was gross lots of fat... my husband smokes meat and I guess I've been spoiled because his is A LOT better !!!! The pecan pie taste like store bought pie and the gumbo isn't gumbo!!!! would not recommend or come back NOT worth the money P.S the mac n cheese is out of a box !!!!! Go to McDonalds it's much better !! read more

Keep your blues and your BBQ. Looks open, no "Closed" signs. People inside don't have the courtesy to tell you it's closed. Can't write about the food or service because it was denied. read more

Cool bar & great live performance from locals. But the bartender AL was so rude & passive aggressive especially to people who aren't locals he smiles in your face but judges you for being out of town. Talks bad about tourists to other people at the bar in front of your face acting like you can't hear him. I would come back but not if he's still serving. read more

My party came in late on a Saturday night and the food can be summarized as bland, flavorless, unseasoned, etc. So let me start off by saying the staff were kind and our waitress was attentive and super accommodating. We sat outside because we had our dog with us and she bought out a bowl of water for him! But going back to the food...*sigh*. I ordered the fried catfish with a side of french fries and their version of cheesy mashed potatoes for roughly $30. Was NOT worth it. The catfish can be described as just that, fried fish. I didn't even get halfway through the potatoes because it had so much sour cream in it. The rest of the table ordered a brisket sandwich with various sides and the meat was blaaaand. Husband ordered the macaroni and cheese with his sandwich and there wasn't a single speck of seasoning on it. I didn't exactly have high hopes but I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

After touring the Arches NP, we went to Moab for dinner. My wife ordered a half rack of ribs and I had the Cajun catfish dinner. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone style with a light sweet glaze, but there was no rub, heat, and was unseasoned with salt. Very bland! My catfish was perfectly fried with a lightly coated corn meal batter, but once again, there was no Cajun spice or seasoning in the coating. In summary, good quality ingredients with nicely sized portions, but food was unseasoned and way overpriced! I'm used to paying about $22 for a half rack BBQ rib dinner - this was $37! read more

Our server Marie was excellent! She recommend the burnt end sandwich and cheesy potatoes. It was amazing! Highly recommend it. If you want a great meal and service come and ask for Marie. read more

Second stop on our great southwest adventure is Moab, UT. The Blue Pig is next to our hotel so we gave it a try. I usually get brisket at a new BBQ joint because it is technically the most difficult but the reviews suggested the ribs were good so I got them. I cook ribs often when I cater Veterans events so I am pretty picky. I got the 1/2 rack for $23.95 with onion rings and side salad. The ribs were quite good, one of the best I have ever eaten. Moist with mild smoke and bark. The 3 sauces were good too. I deducted a star for the pricey drinks and slightly pricey entrees. They do have live entertainment but we weren't there when the performance was live. It's a fun venue with decent service. Check it out.

Great BBQ in Moab! Solid pulled pork and tasty sauces! Friendly service. Definitely recommend !

Carmen, our server was welcoming and attentive. The best!! Chris the manager on duty came over & checked on us too, he also answered my questions on their BBQ technique. Get to the Blu Pig ya'll! read more

Food: interesting finding gumbo in Utah, but it has a flair! I am part cajun, and can say it is an interesting version. B+ for execution and effort. Brisket (sandwich) is tender and subtly smoked. Solid B. Burnt ends (sandwich again) is a no. Too squishy- but it is more tender to eat theirs as a sandwich. C+ Sweet Potato fries are mediocre. C But the fried okra---whether it is fresh or frozen does not matter. It was fire! My favorite thing I ate. A+ read more

After reading some of the bad reviews I was not looking forward to our family dinner being here AT ALL. The two burgers I did try were actually delicious and if you like red meat I would recommend the burnt end burger over the tri tip one. (Unfortunately I only have a picture of the tri tip) Service is short but friendly enough. The inside looks atrocious though, the blue lighting just makes it too dim as they try to play off the name but sitting outside makes it more bearable. Dog friendly and they off patties for the little ones! read more

The Blu Pig - Tri-tip burger, upstaged to ultimate - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

First of all, I am spoiled by Little Miss BBQ in Phoenix, AZ. If you know that place, you know the caliber of BBQ that my taste buds require. I ordered brisket at the Blu Pig on my visit to Moab today. First thing I noticed when I got my plate was that the brisket resembled a few long slices of pot roast. No smoke ring. Fatty. I asked for lean brisket. I got what looked like pot roast. It was inedible--and I do like pot roast. No smoke taste, bland, mouth feel was just ew, and just not at all what I expected from a BBQ joint. Super disappointed as this was our first meal for lunch on our arrival into town today. I ate two bites and put my fork down. Just don't. The hush puppies were OK. Just okay. read more

Service was good, but food was okay. Dry and flaky cornbread. Potato salad tasted like it came from grocery store. Baked beans were okay. Pulled pork was good. The burnt ends, brisket, and tri-tip were good. Not worth the price however. read more

Our first day in Moab after hiking all day and we were hungryyyyy!  Yelp brought us here but unfortunately it was a bit disappointing.  We ordered take out and it was ready in 10-15 minutes.  We got the large tri tip combo and a large brisket combo.  Our hotel was only a few minutes away and we couldn't wait to gorge into our dinner.  We were pretty bummed all the meat was dry and chewy. For spending close to $60 after tax and tips we definitely expected more.  The only life saver somewhat were the sides that came with the combos. We got the onion rings, sweet potato, mac & cheese and potato salad.  I'm not sure if it's just not as good as take-out, but we definitely had better BBQs. read more

Used the online service, which was a nice convenience. The ribs were okay but dry. The Mac & Cheese was okay but very small for the side. Had cornbread as well, and it was not good at all. No flavor, stuck to the wrapper and crumbled with touch. This was underwhelming considering it was rated #1 for bbq in Moab. I wish I went somewhere else for this cost. read more

October 2023 marks our third visit to the Blu Pig. Our first was way back in 2011 when we had two fussy little boys with us. Back then the food, the staff, and the prices were a highlight of our trip. In 2023 we came back to find the service friendly, but the prices and food quality nothing to write home about. I know meat prices are insane right now, but the prices for entrees are what we pay for good Lockhart, TX BBQ. The food we were served was decidedly not worth the price. Maybe we're just BBQ snobs, but the burnt ends were rock hard, the brisket just "OK", and the cornbread was dreadful. We did like the hush puppies, though. We will not go back. read more

We went to this restaurant the last time we were in Moab and it was absolutely delicious. This visit not so much! It was crowded so we had a wait. When we were seated our server Dylan came over to take our drink orders. He returned to take our dinner order and we never saw him again! When the food was brought he never explained the different Bbq sauces, another server did. He never asked if dinner was good, if we wanted another drink, if we wanted dessert. He was actually one of the worst servers I think we've ever had! As far as the food goes. I ordered a combination platter. It had pulled pork and brisket. It was a tiny serving of pork which was ok and the brisket was very dry. They served a corn muffin but I took one bite because it was extremely dry and my terrible server Dylan didn't bring any butter which may have helped! I think I'm being generous with 3 stars! read more

We went here during a stay in Moab in hope for some BBQ food. In general the food was not bad but not great either. Mostly lukewarm and I would bet money on the baked beans being Bushes's grillin' beans from the supermarket. What was pretty bad was the how expensive this place is. We did not go to the attached bar but still paid $12 for a can of beer and an entree runs in the mid to high $20 range. Waitress was brand new I guess since she seemed lost sometimes. All in all I think they get away with a lot since Moab is such a tourist spot but we won't be back. read more

I've driven past this place many times but finally had time today to stop and try it. The ribs were ok, a little dry for me, but good flavor. Mac wasn't too great. Beans and muffin were good. My server seemed annoyed at having me interrupt his late afternoon. But overall it was a good place. Ambiance was a bit more on the bar side. That and the price would lead me to take my family elsewhere. But couples would enjoy it. read more

Our server was Vanessa. She did an amazing job! We needed a quieter place to take a business call, so we were sat on the patio during lunch. The atmosphere was great, Vanessa was prompt, attentive and also gave us our space during our important call. The food was wonderful, and I love that dogs are allowed on the patio. Overall great experience and I would recommend Vanessa as your server! read more

So disappointing. For one thing, the customer service was really poor. I had a to go order, arrived to the restaurant actually 10 minutes after the designated pickup time. No one in the front area. Waited about 5 minutes for a host to arrive who said they would check on my order for me. Waited another ten minutes sitting in the lobby, host didn't come back. Kept sitting and finally a different server asked if he could help me and then went to go check behind a different counter where he found my food sitting. It was cold by the time I got it. Turkey had good flavor but was dry. Pork was dry and had absolutely no flavor at all. Mac and cheese was fine- seemed like it was out of the box. I wouldn't even call the food average. There are many better places in Moab to spend your time and money. read more

So I am staying the La Quinta in Moab, UT and the Blu Pig BBQ restaurant is just a stroll across the parking lot. Went there for lunch and dinner over 2 days and it's pretty good. Had a really nice BBQ sandwich for lunch and had delicious burnt tips with fried okra and potato salad for dinner. Really good. Not sure when I'll be back to Moab, but if I get back, I'll go back to Blu Pig. read more
