My wife and I had a long day visiting Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We pulled up to The Blu Pig restaurant dusty, tired, and hungry. They found us a table and jotted down our order within five minutes. After looking over the menu, I had to order the fried catfish po'boy sandwich with thick onion rings. The catfish fillets were thick and paired perfectly with the ancho-chile mayo and pickle, onion tomato, and lettuce. I loved the crispy golden coating on the extra thick onion rings. This was only $15.95! I paired this with a local beer called Squatters Hazy IPA at 5%. They went together wonderfully and we ended up buying a six pack of that beer at the local gas station. Even though this restaurant looks a bit touristy on the outside, it has authentically good food inside. read more

On our last night in Moab, my friend and I decided to grab dinner with some live music at the Blu Pig. Surprisingly, the place was really busy for a weeknight; and we discovered there was a 20-minute wait to be seated. (Pro tip: No kids? Head to the bar in back; there's table service, less folks during the dinner hour...and that's where the music is). Bottom line: we enjoyed our time here, discovering yet another place we should have visited earlier in our trip. Good food (I had an excellent catfish po-boy), decent vibe (if a bit crowded); And a great beer list. My only complaint was the service, which was a bit spotty, partly because one of the bartenders was new. We also enjoyed good music. Though the Blu Pig typically features blues, our night's entertainment was man & woman duo covering roots rock and folk songs. Not my core music genre, but they were really good, so we lingered a little after finishing our dinner. If we didn't have an early drive the next morning, we would have stayed longer. Next time in Moab - we go here first! read more

The visit didn't start off well. We were seated and forgotten for about 15 minutes while we watched 3 other tables be seated and drink orders taken and filled. Next we had to ask for silverware and one of the sides was forgotten. Food: pulled pork was okay but not great and Cajun sausage was plain sausage with a spicy sauce. The turkey breast was average but I did like the cranberry bbq sauce with it. I liked the cheesy potatoes but the husband didn't. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

I hate giving such a poor review, but this dinner sucked. Not only did it seem the staff did not wants us there, the service was so slow. We waited to be seated, then waited 10 minutes just to be acknowledged and get WATER. And it was not that busy. My jalapeño margarita was gross. It was as if they put a few pickled jalapeños from a jar in and poured the juice in as well. That said, my pulled pork sandwich was delicious, as were the onion rings. It was worth the wait for those. But several others in my group ordered the Tri-tip and it was so red and chewy they couldn't eat it. The little they did eat made them sick the next day. My food upset also my stomach horribly the next morning. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I didn't have high hopes for barbecue in Utard but I was hopeful of something that resembled BBQ. Wanting 12oz instead of 8oz of meat I ordered the 3 meat combo tried to order just twp of the meats. Apparently they llack a food scale or the ability to do math so I explained that 2 meats x 6 oz is the same as 3 meats x 4 oz. The genius taking my order said he didn't think they could do that. More importantly, "they were very busy back there". If You sell meet by the pound, you probably have a food scale, but I digress. Corn bread- flavorless and dry. If you're going to use a mix guy's, use jiffy because at least there's lard in it. The slightly reheated order was presented henceforth: Slaw- probably on day 3, flavorless Gumbo- Worthy of consuming and actually served hot but probably only because it was sitting in a crock pot Sausage- flavorless and barely smoked. I can get sausage way smokier after 2 hours on my pellet smoker. Served room temp Brisket- dry, flavorless, zero smoke ring. Honestly, I think brisket this crappy would take some effort to produce. Served room temp If this place actually owns a smoker, someone needs to show them how to use it. I've yet to find a decent meal in this town. Even the Pizza Hut is subpar. read more

The Blu Pig - They call this brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

Awesome food. We got ours to go. The brisket was amazing! Would totally recommend.

Stayed across the street and the hubby wanted BBQ. Had the Philly prime rib sandwich, which was okay but the amount of prime rib on the sandwich was small. For the cost I wouldn't have it again. Burnt end pieces of the prime rib 8 oz was 25 bucks. A little steep for my pocket. Jumbo smoked wings were the normal size we get at home so not sure where the jumbo comes into factor. Food wasn't bad but it wasn't good enough to come back. read more

Being in Utah, you'll witness how bizarre their drinking rules are. The bar has to have a door to separate from the dining area, and alcohol can not be served in front of children. We thought the restaurant was closed at first because it was a bit late, but turned out the bar was still open and was serving the full menu with tables! My hubby enjoyed their Texan burger and their sweet potato fries were pretty good! I got the wings and they were overfried and that was a disappointment. However, their gumbo was surprisingly hot and savory! There was also music playing even in front of a small crowd later in the evening while we enjoyed our dinner which was cool. The ambiance was chill and pleasant, and the service was friendly. It's located toward the end of the Main Street but right next to a hotel. read more

Service was fantastic and the catfish strips were on point but I have to stop there. As BBQ goes, I would rate it a 1 Star. The pulled pork was bone dry and the Cajun sausage is a spicy hotdog cooked in onions. I wish I could say better things about the BBQ but it wasn't good. read more

Ambiance is ok, service a little slow & some food ok, other not that good for the price. We went because next to La Quinta hotel. We shd have driven read more

Came to dine post-covid. I appreciated the measures they took to make guests feel comfortable. Hand sanitizer upon entry, they seated parties separately from each other and all servers wore masks. Food was tasty. I'm not typically a fan of restaurant Mac n cheese, but this was legitimately delicious. Sweet potato fries are a must. Pork wings are really just ribs, they fell off the bone and were very tender. Brisket and pulled pork were also delicious, but needed the sauce for that punchy flavor. The sauces were legit. Overall, I'm really happy with our experience there and really appreciate all the effort they made to helping guests feel welcome and protected. read more

The food was delicious. Service was welcoming and drinks were perfect. Highly recommend the pull pork one of the best I have tasted.

So I had the ribs. No seasoning. Salt nothing. They didn't put any sauce on them or and it with. The meat had an old reheated pork flavor. Now I call and she's too busy to speak. I suppose they could be short staffed but you just don't substitute old food. I have never had unseasoned pork before but they didn't even give up a salt packet. I'm just really shocked. read more

Well, this is the best darn BarBQ I've had in a while. And oh my gosh, the smoked pecan pie... I'm from Louisiana and this place is legit. read more

Everything is great, and the drinks had the proper amount of alcohol. Especially after a good day off-roading

Despite the other reviews, I thought this place was actually pretty good! Our server, Jose, was very friendly and kind, adhering all of our needs. The food hit the spot, and I especially recommend the baked beans and burnt ends. They also have a covered patio area with spray that's great for dogs! read more

We are in Moab for the weekend and planned on cooking at our campsite only to find out our campsite doesn't have a fire pit for Campers. So we decided to drive into town to see what we could find. We decided to try The Blu Pig because they have a pet friendly patio and we have our puppy with us. The atmosphere is very laidback and friendly. Loved the patio. The food was amazing... And I don't even like BBQ that much so that's saying a lot for how good it was. The staff even brought out a water bowl for our dog without us asking for one. So super sweet! I would have given it 5 stars if we didn't wait 25 minutes before our drink order was taken. That really was the only downside to this place. But I highly recommend trying this place! read more

It's my first time visit here. I saw the reviews for this place was great. I ordered their "signature" prime rib steak and voodoo chicken. The chicken was tasty, sadly a little warm. The steak has 20% of fat surprisingly. (See the picture) I haven't seen a "prime rib steak" has so much fat on it. Most important thing is the food when they sent to our table was "warm". Less than 10 mins our food got cold because the ceiling fan and AC.... The staffs were good after all. But maybe this will be my last time to visit. read more

Great service and fast. Ribs were great. My husband had the burnt ends and they weren't his favorite.

Awful and expensive. Ordered take out for my family when we were on vacation. Brisket, chicken, bbq pork, tri tip. $200 out the door. All overcooked and dry! Ordered coleslaw. Medium size container, dry with little dressing $25. BBQ beans about a can size $13. I did not do my research. This place is a tourist trap. There are less pricey places with better bbq in Moab. So sorry I ever came here. read more

We were there on a Tuesday night and the place was packed! Seems like everyone from the nearby hotels went here for dinner. And of course like everyplace else in the post Covid world they were short staffed. A 40 minute wait for a table and the bar couldn't accommodate any more diners. We decided to get our meal "to go" and eat at the hotel. The host/waiter/do-it-all guy was awesome. Friendly, courteous and patient - even after getting yelled at by people wanting seats NOW, people fussing about the wait, and people ranting over the fact that they were out of brisket. This guy is a Saint and much nicer than I would ever be if I were wearing his shoes. Kudos to you young man, you are a rockstar. The food was amazing! Pulled pork, sausage, baked potato, Mac and cheese, fried okra, and baked beans all cooked to perfection. Oh, and the live music coming out of the bar while we waited was pretty darn awesome too! I highly recommend The Blu Pig. Just be patient and you'll be rewarded. read more

When you're told 10 minutes for takeout it should not BE 30 minutes+!!!!!!! It's been 40 minutes as I write this!!!

I had the Cajun spicy sausage, it was awesome . The waitress Emma a equally awesome and super friendly. Would highly recommend The Blu Pig!!! read more

Best BBQ in Moab. Large servings, friendly staff, clean restaurant, lots of parking. Right on Main St on the South side of town. I had the fried okra. It was battered and Served hot. Was delicious. Also had cajan hot wings. Husband had the smoked chicken. Everything was delicious! read more

The menu looked appealing and we were in the mood for barbecue so off we went. They seemed to have two servers, one of whom appeared cheerful, but ours was grumpy and definitely brought the vibe down. The food was ok, but pretty dry and tired. Prices were reasonable, food was average, so overall just ok. On the plus side, the ribs were delicious, and the blues playing in the background was awesome. I could see moving to four stars on another day. read more

Completely average. Meats weren't awful, but the sides were not good. Prices indicate that it's a high end option in Moab, but these guys are stealing money. People deserve better. Also: it was kinda dirty. And: they don't give you waters at any point. We got beers (which were at least cold. Good job, Blue Pig), but waters would have been appreciated. No one had them; so it wasn't like it was just bad service.. Finally: it was a weird vibe in the place. Bottom line: there are lots of great options in Moab. Don't give in to the pretty neon signage. PS: I think Blu Pig thinks it can get away with completely average food because they give enormous portions. read more

The food is, sadly, bland. The meat is cooked well but has little flavor from the smoking or any seasonings, and the two sauces are bland and mild, respectively. The sides are likewise just ok, but again with little flavor. Service was awkward, mainly because the server tonight didn't know much about the beers (for example, calling what turned out to be an amber ale an IPA) and had difficulty interpreting and pronouncing things due to a very thick accent, so it was hard to order, especially any of the specials verbally presented or options for an item. Other tables had the same issue. She made it more difficult for her and the customers by just saying "yes" when people would try to verify something that seemed misunderstood. This speaks to the restaurant's management not providing sufficient training (such as on the beer types) and aids (maybe a handheld chalkboard for listing the day's rotating drafts?) for the language gaps. The bar part of the restaurant is fun, with a few draft beers, lots of canned and bottled ones, and lots of spirits. read more

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with French fries. The pork was really good! The fries were tough and didn't have a ton of flavor. The service was great, and the food was ready quickly. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for BBQ! read more

Stopped by here for lunch. Chris was our server. Excellent service. Food was well above average. We ate lunch and ordered take out for dinner while staying at a AirBnB. Take out re-heated was magnificent. MacNcheese, ribs and brisket were excellent. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Music was great! Food ok. Service horrible. Waited way to long to get served, waited on ourselves half the time. Blues were good. Food tasty, mac & cheese and pulled pork. Had to ask for everything (water, bbq sauce, silverware) Waited forever to pay! Quite an ordeal for what should have been a fun night out. Instead stressful! read more

Service was excellent. We had a young man take our drink order until our waitress came over to make sure we had been able to order drinks. Drinks were delicious and brought out promptly. Then we ordered our food. Salads were brought out in less than a minute. Food was the perfect time behind it. The manager also checked on us. Cozy restaurant food for all! 10/10! read more

I was traveling through Moab in my way to St George and stopped at the Blu Pig for dinner. at 6pm on a Saturday night. I ordered a slab of ribs and coleslaw and gumbo. They took my order and 10 minutes later I was told that they ran out of ribs ( at 6 pm on a Saturday night) I then ordered the bbc chicken as well as Cajun sausage. The sausage was mediocre (little taste) and the chicken clearly had been reheated as the meat was extremely dry (almost impossible to swallow). I tried to pour a bunch of barbecue sauce on the chicken and the sauce was not good barbecue sauce. I have spent time in Chicago Memphis and Austin. I appreciate good barbecue. This was very poor and barbecue and simply not worth it. I really was surprised at how bad this was . read more

Excellent pulled pork and smoked brisket sandwiches. Wish we'd bought a pound of each. Service was quick and staff was very friendly.

Life is good again! Live music and good food at the Blu Pig. The Blu Pig always has great barbecue. Today I had to have their crispy awesome wings, and a combo with tri-tip and ribs and crazy good gumbo for the side. The food is fantastic, the service was a little spotty, but that is expected as they hire new people removing up for the busy season. The live music in the bar more than made up for the newness of the server. If I'm heading it Moab I always try to hit the Blu Pig at least once. read more

The Blu Pig - Live Music - Barbeque Near Me - Moab, Utah

The tri-tip here is fork tender and melts in your mouth. They've got 70 different beers available. They have fried okra, and it's actually GOOD, which is a miracle for any place west of the Mississippi River. The hush puppies are savory, which goes perfectly with the pulled pork. Our server, Krystyna, was awesome. Areas I think weren't great? The cajun sausage was just OK. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I would pick the tri-tip or brisket over the sausage. Prices are kind of high, but it's Moab, not your local joint. Live music gets loud, so come early or prepare to shout your conversation. Then again, if you like live music, come later. All in all, a solid place. I'd come here again. read more

OK this is long overdue. I wouldn't give it any stars but I have to to write the review. I was visiting my girlfriend, her husband, and they suggested we go there we sat at the bar and the bartender was a mess. She didn't comer hair. She never smiled. She was the worst bartender ever I was a bartender before back in the day so I know how to be a bartender, and she definitely was not it you need to replace her quickly, so we move from the bar and Saturday table. The food was Soso. It wasn't anything to really rave about, but the lady that took care of us she was nice. I will never go back there ever bad bad bad. read more

Bartender was more concerned about his TVs than customer service. Hostess was friendly, told me to have a seat in bar area. One table of 6 was in the bar. Bartender watched me walk in without any acknowledgement. He then stood 4 feet from my table while changing channels on TVs. No hello, no "server will be right with you", nothing. To be fair, cocktail waitress tried to stop me on my way out door after 5 minutes; but by then I was extremely angry. As a member of the service industry for over 30 years, this bartender should consider another job. Inexcusable!!!! read more

A great BBQ restaurant in Moab, Utah. Great service from the very beautiful Jen, with a smile to match. Starting with an appetizer of 4 Cajun Pork Shanks, fall off the bone tender, a great Cajun sauce covering them. For dinner, a combo of Ribs and Pulled Pork. Both were tender, juicy, ribs fell off the bone, great smoky flavor. Sides were shoestring fries, very good, good standard baked beans, made even better with their sweet bbq sauce added. A decent corn bread rounded out a very good meal. Definitely worth a stop in Moab. read more

Never made it to the front door. An employee coming to work almost ran into my car. Then he proceeded to tell me that "this is a parking lot sir!" I was parking my car to go into the place, so it was pretty obvious that this was a parking lot sir. He then ran after me on foot as I was driving away threatening to call the police. Is it illegal in Utah to know what a parking lot is and not admit it??? Anyway this strange bizarro feces show is the customer service you can expect before you get to the door. If you can even park your car. read more
