    Brisket burnt ends, baked beans, potato salad, cornbread
    Quentejah P.

    Oh baby! Let me tell you what, the burnt ends? TO DIE FOR! The staff are so accommodating to preferences as I stated I didn't like fat so they trimmed it off for me and gave me the perfect little cubes of heaven. The baked beans were so good, the cornbread was so soft and moist, and the potato salad was a new experience. It's such a hidden spot and looks scary at first but inside is so niche. Definitely recommend if you love BBQ

    I ordered the fried shrimp plate with baked beans and mac and cheese as my sides. I also had a spoonful of marinated slaw that came with my shrimp and everything was excellent! The mac was a tad dry but still tasted good. The beans and marinated slaw were my favorite out of everything. My friend ordered the burnt ends plate and it was amazing. The people working there are super nice and down to earth! It felt like home away from home.

    I stopped in this spot during my short visit to Destin. I'm not a seafood gal and most of the popular restaurants were seafood best which makes sense for your beach town. When i arrived there was someone ordering take out. I ordered my food, paid and then you sit down. They have a little sink right outside to wash your hands which was cool.. The staff were super friendly and very welcoming. I ordered the turkey BBQ sandwich, potato salad and baked beans. That meal was delicious. Everything was nicely seasoned and not salty. I ate every last drop of my food. The portions were fair and the prices were very reasonable. I had intentions of returning to this spot before I returned home but didn't get a chance. I would definitely come back and check out some other menu items.

    We DoorDashed our order, so we expected it to arrive a little less than piping hot, but still wanted to give this spot a try! We got the chicken tender platter with mac & cheese and potato salad. The mac & cheese was pretty dry and lacked seasoning, and the tenders were on the tough side. The potato salad, though, was actually really good! We also tried the rack of ribs. They had decent flavor, but didn't fall off the bone like we'd hoped. The smoked chicken ended up being the best thing we ordered, juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The biggest letdown was the banana pudding. If you're from the South and expect classic banana pudding with layers of Nilla wafers, this one might not hit the mark. It tasted more like whipped cream with just a single cookie on top. Overall, not a bad experience, but definitely room for improvement, especially with the sides and desserts.

    Came to try this place out. Not impressed at all. The decor is nice. The service was quick. The food wasn't the best. The chicken and ribs were extra light not cooked all the way. The wings were extra big and deformed. Nothing was great about this place. I don't recommend at all. The burnt ends were just pice of briskets cut in squares and over cooked. This was not real barbecue

    Destin Vacation must for BBQ! 2nd time eating here and trying to get caught up on reviews. We ate the first night and I was so hungry. I ordered platter with baked beans, potato casserole and Broccoli cheese casserole! The Broccoli had just came out of oven and was delicious! They have specials ,so be sure and look for those. Husband had chicken and they were nice enough to take off bone. Side was slaw. Now let's talk Sweet Tea! Sooo good. Not everyplace has good tea. Some taste like the bottom of instant but not here. Then......and I know your thinking that was enough food for a over weight older person.... then we had Pudding. Free from a coupon. This place is down out of the hassle area but still on the main street. You can't eat fish every meal so give this a try for sure.

    Food was great. The only thing I'd say is to get the sauce on the side. Service was amazing. Very kind and homely feeling. The ambiance is awesome. Very much a hole in the wall feeling. Super good.

    Amazing! We were the first ones to dine on a Friday morning at 11AM and there were 4 other tables there with us. We've been to the other Moe's location but I think this one is newer. We ordered the chicken platter and brisket platter. The chicken platter was so much food, bang for your buck! The brisket was amazing. Everything was sooooo good. Mac and cheese, potato salad and hush puppies were our sides. Get the Mac & cheese, it will change your life! This location is massive. Lots of indoor seating for the Florida heat! The customer service was great and the food!!! Can't wait to come back here for our next visit.

    Cole slaw to die for! Pulled pork so good I didn't need sauce! Best pulled pork I've had in Destin. We'll definitely go again.

    This was recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint. One of my favorite seafood…read morerestaurants I've been to. The menu has a lot of great options. I got the Daily Special (which was a Red Snapper stuffed with crab) and was great. I also tried the Destin Snapper, the Crab Cakes, and some of the Seafood Gumbo. All of which were very good. The Daily Special was my favorite. We had a larger group and did not have to wait at 7:00. The setting was great. Outdoor seating is along a bay, a great spot to view the sun setting. It does get hot out there if you go too early, we were there in July. Parking is extremely limited and they do have valet ($9 as of 7/2026). The line for the valet was very long. We got lucky to find a parking spot, but plan on waiting for parking in one way or another.

    We came here on 01/23/2026 for dinner at about 6pm with a party of five. This was my first time…read morehere; however, everyone else in the party has previously been to the restaurant. The restaurant is very large with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and it is casual, but classy. Overall, we had a great experience. The host was fine; however, lacked empathy and customer service skills. He was a full 30 seconds ahead of us, and if we wouldn't have been tracking him with our eyes, we wouldn't have known where to sit. By the time we got to the table, he was nowhere to be found; however, the menus were in a pile on the table. Our server, on the other hand, was very pleasant. He was kind, caring and kept us informed and checked in on us frequently. The table shared the crab cakes and the blue crab claws, both of which were very good. Of course, the complimentary hush puppies are definitely a hit as well. For my entree I had the Grouper Louisianne. It was a tasty piece of fish, that came with a great side salad and a super delicious twice baked potato. Other than the host, the other reason for the minus one star, was the unusually long time it took between the salad course and the main course. It was a full 20 minute wait, after we were done with our salads, for the main course to arrive. Otherwise, I would likely try the restaurant again at a future time, if something brought me back to the area.
