Pulled Pork Platter Southern Fried Shrimp Moe Boy
Emily N.

Hits every single time. Their pulled pork is awesome with or without sauce. The mac and cheese, hashbrown casserole, and mud pie are my favorite sides to get. My boyfriend LOVES and craves the shrimp Moe Boy sandwich. We love eating here. Definitely check it out!

Smoked wings
David L.

Came with a friend on a Friday evening and it was remarkably quiet. There was plenty of parking around the restaurant. We ordered the large ribs platter and the smoked wings based on the waiters recommendation as being the most popular dishes. All orders are placed at the counter. Ambiance: 4/5 It was pretty smokey inside and gave a very local smokehouse vibe Service: 4/5 food came out at a decent time Food: 5/5 It was probably the best smoked ribs and wings I've had in the triangle. The smokey flavor permeated the meat and the Alabama white sauce complemented the wings well. Price: 4.5/5 The price was decent for good bbq. Overall: I'll definitely be back and tell others about this spot!

Finally was able to visit Moe's in Durham. Boy was it a good choice! Not only was the bbq fantastic, but the staff was very hospitable as well. I'd highly recommend if you're in the Durham area! The pulled pork sammich was fantastic!

Spare Ribs!!! Nice char, tender, nice pull off the bone, and great sauce. Bread, beans and greens also excellent.

Pulled pork platter, collard greens, jambalaya and corn bread.
Alan B.

We ordered the pulled pork platter and loved it. The collard greens, jambalaya and cornbread were outstanding. The server recommended the jambalaya and we were very pleased with that recommendation. We will be back soon. When you walk in you know are at a good bbq spot.

Smoked Chicken Sandwich & Baked Beans
Jamison W.

This was my first time at Moe's Original BBQ in Durham, and it definitely won't be my last! The food was absolutely delicious. I had the smoked turkey sandwich, baked beans, jambalaya, and finished it off with some banana pudding--all of it was top-notch. The service was fantastic, and the staff made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is a blend of a sports pub and a BBQ joint. I'll definitely be back for more!

First of all, spacious inside with a lot of seats. We came on a weekend night, 30min before closing! Not much of service, but not complaining bc we don't have to tip and we were too hungry too! We couldn't get many of the stuff on the menu, bc they were out of it. Understandable since we came late. Three stars , really bc it's just very average. The Mac and cheese was just average. Wings were good but I expected better when this place is rated highly. Just another mediocre place probably will go again if my friends want to but not gonna be a place I recommended people to go to

Pulled pork, mac&cheese, beans, and cornbread
Camille H.

I liked this place a lot. You walk in and are greeted kindly. The door handle is a cleaver and the rest of the restaurant is mostly decorated like a normal BBQ place but has some undersea elements which I thought was cool. You order at the counter and after just a few minutes, they slide out your food on a tray and you take it to your table of choice. They have a whole roll of paper towels on each table and extra BBQ sauce that you can take with you to your table. All the side that I tried (mac&cheese, beans, cornbread, banana pudding) were all really good! The beans tasted a bit sweet. The cornbread was a bit dry and didn't have the best flavor which was disappointing. The meat was cooked really well and the BBQ sauce was a bit sweet and complimented the meat well. I will definitely come back next time I visit my sister!

Large rib platter and smoked wings
Shawna W.

Pretty decent hole in the wall kinda place! I got the large ribs platter and my boyfriend got the smoked wings that came with the Alabama style sauce. The ribs were pretty good, I feel like I'm not the best judge of authentic BBQ tho. The smoked wings were actually sooo good, packed with flavor and really crispy. The Alabama sauce was a good touch to contrast the flavor. The sides were delectable and surprisingly really fresh. Service was friendly as well.

Smoked turkey breast tray
Joy R.

Excellent barbecue pulled pork ribs smoked turkey breast homemade potato salad collards cornbread and more!The location is tucked in the corner of an easily accessible road adjacent to a major interstate- exta parking available- accessible parking almost up to the door! Homegrown customer service- place your order pay and sit in the restaurant or outside on the patio. A full bar available- take out & delivery available - I had the pulled pork sandwich this time with potato salad & collards my friends had the pulled pork entree and smoked turkey sandwich tray with collards potato salad corn bread and we polished it off with a mini serving of banana pudding- yummy yummy yummy! My second time eating at this location- stellar service and food also at that time!!

A plate of...well...just about everything
Gil T.

Moe's BBQ is a fantastic plate of BBQ every time, with plenty of options and no fuss. They offer a variety of menu stalwarts and rotating specials, so you can either stick with your classic staples and experiment a little. I love all the little things they do right: the music, the sauces, the draft beer options, the well-crafted sides, the pickles, the griddled cornbread. These types of little touches are what make Moe's SO money, every time. Regarding the meats, everything is super solid, but I think their smoked turkey and wings are done very well. Moe's gives you a range of BBQ options without any weak spots whatsoever. You don't need to wait in a long line or pay an arm and a leg for crafted BBQ, just go to Moe's.

The food is delicious and hot, it doesn't need any sauce. Hubby had the large rib plate and I had the pork plate.

Made an abnormal trip to Durham VA and was a bit hungry, so looked up highly rated placed and the…read morewings jumped out at me (maybe it was the drink special?) I was worried about finding parking, but there was plenty around back and signs to get you where you need to be. I was concerned about the price at first, expecting the portions to be small... they were not, they were plentiful. (pics attached, and this was after I already started snacking) I got the lunch special with bone in Sweet Thai Coconut Chili and 8 boneless Zesty Garlic Parm. They were both outstanding. Flavor was on point for both. Server was fast, polite, and knew her stuff. Food came out the back much faster than I expected. Wish this place was close to my house, would certainly come again, if it were closer... maybe I might "have a couple more VA appts" here.

Stopped by here today first time in a couple of years. Walls need repainted there's a lot of chips…read moreand gashes in the paint. The service was good. Food was okay. I got the chicken sandwich it's not the same and I'm devastated. It used to be the best fried chicken sandwhich in Durham. Now it's not worth the parking and walking up the hill. It's two pre breaded and fried chicken strips now. I miss the hand breaded fried sandwich it was amazing. The fries are the same they're waffle fried crisp. EVERYTHING IS MADE FRESH! The fudge brownies even aren't what they used to be. They're still excellent but something changed. I'm disappointed! I'd rather you guys raise your prices than lower your quality. However I realize you're catering to college students not my middle class middle age self. Don't know if it's worth the parking to come back again.
