Ordered a flounder plate and allI got was the breaded shell. NO fish. Don't know if it was a disgruntled employee or what. Called the Manager Rebecca and she said they would make me 2 more plates. Guess we will see. read more

Received a coupon in the mail and since I have not been here for awhile I went through the drive up and picked up 2 BBQ sandwiches. Staff was friendly and helpful. I asked for onions and slaw and that's what a I got. The sandwich was very good. There was enough BBQ on the sandwich that I was able to take some off and make another sandwich for the next day. The outside of the building was clean. I am not a big BBQ person but when I want it, I come here. Good Job Moores! Oct 31, 2023 read more

The general manager was so rude. The employee had messed up our food, which was disgusting, and when I asked to speak to the manager she had an attitude claiming I ordered my food wrong. We had ordered the bbq plate and fried chicken. The bbq was so gross, it tasted like it was days old. The chicken was hard as a rock. The only good thing was the green beans. The lobby was disgusting with trash and crumbs on the ground. It was almost impossible to find a clean table. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Google has great reviews for this restaurant and we came in with high expectations. The staff were great but our party of 4 did not have one satisfactory meal. The pulled pork lacked flavor, the hush puppies were hard and tasteless and the chicken tenders were not good either. The BBQ chicken was not bbq but had what appeared to be store-brand bbq sauce added to it. read more

Huge portions for your money. Great flavor. Service was excellent across the board. Very clean bathrooms and seating area. Definitely would recommend. read more

First time going to Moore's today and the food we got was decent but was really disappointed to have been charged for two BBQ-tenders plates when on plate only had tenders. Not the best first time visit I was really looking forward to trying to BBQ. read more

I made the order on the phone 30 minutes before they closed. The person who took my order was nice and patient with me. I didn't really know what I was ordering but decided to go with the large pulled pork meal with Mac n cheese & greens, and a fried chicken meal w/Mac n cheese & mashed potatoes. The pulled pork wasn't good, the chicken, Mac 'n cheese, greens and mashed potatoes were ok. I was also not a fan of the hush puppies. I don't know what the ambiance was like because I had the food delivered to me. And although a drive thru window is a convenient thing for costumers, I am sorry to say that I am not interested in ordering food from here again. read more

Amazing fried chicken and juicy bbq! We get chicken from Moores to take on the boat. It's the best!

Had a catered meal at work, was scrumptious. Came to try this place in real time and it was delicious vinegar based Eastern NC BBQ. Everything was fast, hot, fresh. The owner/manager, Matt came by to greet us and talk for a spell! Their sweet tea is "NC sweet", too. I mix it half and half so I get the slightly sweet flavor I love. We just moved to town recently, and this is quite possibly our favorite for take out or a quick dine in with flavor that is southern cuisine fine. Very attentive staff, clean environment and our cups never went empty. If you like spice and vinegar sauce, try the hot sauce on the table! I want to swim in the Brunswick stew! read more

Moore's Olde Tyme BBQ - a table full of food - Barbeque Near Me - Swansboro, North Carolina

Food was terrible! Only thing decent was my float! Decent service. Do not recommend at all.

Friendly staff is an understatement; I sincerely hope they keep their employees this friendly well past the "new restaurant" phase wears off. Restaurant overall screams of a Smithfield's knockoff right down to the BBQ sandwich special. Fries are my favorite kind and the sweet tea was delicious! The BBQ on my sandwich was cooked well, but didn't have a terrible amount of flavor. Coleslaw was great though. I have one weird compliant; the booths have this weird separation from the bottom cushion part to the top cushion that when you initially sit down you think you've sat down on something lol! It sure who designed the booths, but it's weird haha! Overall, glad to have stopped by and will go back to try the fried chicken at a later time. read more

Changed chicken tenders effective 3/31/23 and the generous, juicy tenders replaced with tiny, heavily-breaded, dry tenders. The volume weight of the new tenders greatly reduced too yet the price stayed the same. Ironically, I'd recommend Moores to bring back the original chicken tenders and raise the price as needed. read more

Honestly the food was not worth the price, one of the worst bbq places I've been in. Mission bbq is like so much better compared to this. The service was okay, some of the workers really had no confident and was awkward. The environment is pretty generic and nothing special. The food really made me never want to go back here or recommend it to anyone. I'd actually recommend people not to go here. Go to other BBQ places instead read more

Good food, mixed up my order which is why I only have 4 stars but good bbq and chicken!

Took the family for dinner . I had the combo BBQ and white meat chicken . The BBQ was alright . The chicken was good . It's always so juicy . Wife and daughter both had the tenders snack . Both had mash potatoes as a side . The tenders were good but the mash potatoes stoke the show . Very very tasty . To be honest I probably would have given 3 1/2 if it was a choice . read more

Ordered four lunches. Two included fried chicken and fries. The chicken was old and dried up. The fries were cold and tasted like they were left over from the day before. The other meals had BBQ, which was also cold and flavorless. Overall it was a waste of money on very overpriced garbage. read more

I've heard of Moore's BBQ for a while since living in NC. This location is newer, yet it has a very similar feel to another NC BBQ chain, the same type of old pictures on the wall, and sink after the turn to the bathrooms before you get to order. Wash your hands! Ribs were available which is not available at the other chain. At least I don't think so. My dining partners appeared to enjoy them thoroughly. They were pouring the remaining source over the leftovers. The sauce is available for purchase. They serve those very red hot dogs for the kid's meal. If you are a fan, go for it. My child would not eat the macaroni and cheese she wanted - describing it as too salty and mushy after one bite. Instead, she settled on into eating hush puppies and banana pudding while her never-changing orangey entree congealed before her. The staff is very polite and engaging. They come around with more tea or lemonade and fun conversation. I had the flounder and shrimp: Shrimp for the table, which was enjoyed by most. The flounder was good. I wish someone would have ordered chicken. It looked tasty and crunchy too. The green beans and baked beans come with BBQ, so if you don't eat pork, beware. read more

Friendly service. BBQ was decent. Hush puppies were good. Side of Mac and cheese and fries were meh at best. Banana pudding didn't hit like banana pudding should. Seemed diluted if that makes sense. House hot sauce was TANGY with a little spice. read more

Great tasting Carolina style BBQ. Is there anything better? A Carolina tradition in fine style. Must try is the sweet tea and banana pudding. read more

Delicious barbecue!!! I thought Tennessee had the best, but here's a fast food place that's Wondeful! And really helpful nice employees read more

BBQ sandwich portion pathetic, learn a lesson from Smithfield BBQ. Being chincy will ruin your business.

Great food and friendly service every time. We had the pleasure of working with their catering side and they did not disappoint! Not only was the food delicious, but our every possible need was included with the food. They supplied us with utensils (both for eating and serving) plates, napkins, cups and bags of ice. I highly recommend them :) read more

Great place to stop and have a meal. Restaurant is super clean and the employees are always friendly. You can get a BBQ sandwich drink & fries for under $10. I always look forward to stopping here when I drive through Swansboro. read more

Moore's Olde Tyme BBQ - Chopped BBQ sandwich combo! - Barbeque Near Me - Swansboro, North Carolina

This place is kind of gross. Everything is basically the same texture, and nothing feels fresh. Ribs are only available on the weekends, so the term "bbq" is used quite loosely, as this place has fried chicken, fried seafood, and pulled pork with "red sauce." If you're looking for food that isn't friend, or feels greasy, this is not your place. The employees were very nice, and especially accommodating, but for a town that is desperate for a nicer restaurant, I was really disappointed. We all were. No alcohol, a drive through, and fried food. Meh. read more

we ordered legs and breasts but got straight wings and wasnt nice and the wings were not good

I have found that most are polite at Moore's in Swansboro. But really, Ashlynn is the best. She smiled, provided great service, and not just to us but to everyone that walked in the restaurant. She even helped when the hand sanitizer squirted all over me and the floor. She laughed with me and helped. Made my evening to have someone that takes everything in stride and with great kindness, a smile, and great service. Thank you. read more

Very inconsistent! Fried chicken sometimes ok other times tasteless. BBQ sometimes ok other time nasty! Too expensive for not decent food!

Good food considering it's fast food. I like the chicken better than Smithfield's and Bojangles, not so spicy. Always friendly service.

Nice variety. Good food. Ask for some rib sauce if you want more bbq flavor on your meat. Fun having ice cream available. Great hush puppies! Sweet tea had just the right of sweet. I had the bbq pork sandwich with cole slaw. It went down quickly and easily. My husband had the dark meat chicken/bbq pork combo and took home enough for another meal. read more

We found this place as we were driving around our new neighborhood and it is fantastic!! I got the 4 piece chicken box with fries and a side of mash potatoes and everything is delicious! The chicken is tender and perfectly crunchy. The fries are just like McDonald's fries, minus the weird artificial taste so in my book they are the best fries out there right now. The tea is amazing as well, I'm not usually a huge sweet tea fan, but it's so so good. The place has a lot of seating and cute decor! I don't have anything negative to say about our trip! read more

Moore's Olde Tyme BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Swansboro, North Carolina

Moore's BBQ in New Bern, NC used to be a wonderful place to eat at. The food is good but the rudeness of the staff leaves me unsatisfied and needing to post a review. I came two days in a row, since I have been craving BBQ. Yesterday, the two young ladies taking orders were fantastic and one of the young cooks even came up to assist me with a question, which I appreciated, so I decided to go back today and order the same thing. When I arrived inside, the young girl who takes the drive-thru orders was at the cash register, but she did not say a word to me, no smile, no 'welcome to Moore's', nothing but simply walked away when I tried to speak to her to be polite, and she did not have a customer in the drive-thru lane. Then, the same young lady who took my order yesterday took my order again today but had been cleaning off tables, which I did not mind at all, since my experience from yesterday was so good (yesterday was this young lady's first day and today was her 2nd day on the job)! Today's experience was much different than yesterday though. She was taking orders all by herself while another lady working in the very back was being rude, disrespectful to her, yelled at her while I was giving my order. The young manager did not do anything to stop the rude woman in the back but did ask me what was wrong and when I explained the rudeness of some of his employees there today, I knew immediately that he would not say a word to either woman being a bully on the job! I even questioned if it was the color of my skin to make them behave like that but truthfully, when rude people are allowed to act that way, they feel entitled when no one says anything! Both the drive-thru young girl and woman in the back should be fired immediately. There are too many people searching for jobs than to keep rude people working who will end up ruining a business and the employees' morale while working. I cannot believe I witnessed such lack of respect for another employee (a new-hire) or for a customer while at Moore's BBQ and will never return to this establishment ever again. -I'm spreading the word far and wide that the rudeness made by an employee will not only harm a business but will crush a business when this kind of behavior is not handled immediately. The morale from yesterday to today was like night and day and if not dealt with properly, will feaster and ruin Moore's Olde Tyme BBQ! Just say, "NO" to bullying and rude people who have no business working with others when there are plenty of kind-hearted people who need employment and are more than happy to show their respect to others, including their own employees/coworkers and customers! Thank you!! read more
