Moe's Original Bar B Que

The smoked chicken is EXCELLENT.  And I guess you really shouldn't rate a BBQ place on service.  But I will ALWAYS rate a restaurant on service - and I can't imagine being more disappointed in the service at Moe's.  There is great BBQ all over the South!  I'll get mine somewhere else in the future.  Here is what happened.    We live Downtown and were so excited to get Moe's.  Although we have gotten take-out a couple of times - we've never "dined in" and decided to eat there last night.  SImply put - we prefer white meat chicken.  He ordered the combo platter (ribs and chicken) - I ordered the chicken platter (half a chicken).  We both clearly indicated we wanted white meat and said we would happily pay whatever the extra charge was for that.  When our meal came out - with no explanation whatsoever - my husband got a thigh and leg, I had one chicken breast.  We both wondered if the waiter had heard our order correctly.  SO....we called him over to the table.  First - the waiter tried to make my husband believe he had been served a breast and wing that had just been cut into two pieces (REALLY???).  And then when my husband said "my wife was supposed to get a half chicken - is that a half chicken?"  His answer was..........are you ready for this......"I HAVE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT MATH".  WAAAAAAAA!!!  We looked at each other in total amazement!  When the waiter went to get the "chef" about the problem.....he immediately started quoting "company policy" about white and dark meat.  Honestly - by that point I was done.  We left laughing about the whole ridiculous episode - but I don't think we will be back!

OMG!! I had the smoked chicken platter, and that is the most juicy, tender smoked chicken is in my entire life!!!  I will highly likely go back before I head out of town--and I will probably miss it when I leave.  It is that good!

I'm so happy they finally opened a Moe's in Mobile. It's about time! I love their BBQ and have had it at other locations many times. Today, I tried the amazing Asian Persuasion wings and a side of beans. The side dishes are all delicious. I can't wait to see the big band room packed out and full of live music. This location is superb.
