Moby's Bar & Grill

This establishment is mainly a bar but they do some decent bar food and BBQ.  Their brisket and BBQ sauce are Memphis style with a very sweet sauce that they also use in their beans.  Both the sauce and the brisket at Moby's taste very similar to Corky's to me.  The brisket plate is also a bit pricey here ($15.05 before tip for the brisket plate and iced tea) but you do get a good quantity of meat, beans, slaw, and fries.  Personally I much prefer a Texas style brisket and the sauce here is too sweet for my taste but its still decent BBQ.  The burger here is a nice larger size hunk of meat and you get a choice of regular or wheat bun.  They have a $1 up-charge for cheese which is a bit steep for a bit of grated cheese.  They also sometimes have daily specials and its a decent place to grab a meal in a bar environment.

Its a bar. Smoking is allowed. During lunch it wasnt bad with only one person smoking and the doors wide open, but I doubt I'd want to eat here at night in a cloud of smoke.

The food was GREAT! Pulled pork platter and a burger.  Waffle fries were pretty bland. Could use some seasoning. The burger was cooked perfect.  Topped with bacon and jack cheese (add some BBQ sauce - trust me!) One hell of a good burger, and I've tried most burger joints in NOLA. Port of Call, Lakeview Harbor, Yo Mama's, Company Burger, Houston's, Cowbell, etc.

So far, this one is second place. With my favorite burger still being from Cowbell (cant beat that onion compote!)

You wont find any crazy specialty burgers here. The toppings are limited to bacon and cheese. My favorite is a mushroom swiss burger. There are no mushrooms here.  Boo to that!

The pulled pork damn good. Its lightly sauced. Not too smokey and still juicey. As we were waiting we noticed a 1st place trophy for a national BBQ competition in Memphis. Memphis is known for BBQ, and this guy one first place. Enough said.

I will be returning.

So this is the first time I've had a really juicy, bar food burger outside of Swamp Room.... definitely gives the Swamp Burger a run for its money. I never thought I'd ever say that but it's true. Yum!
