Moe's Original BBQ

Straightforward and to the point Great smoked chicken Fair prices Casual Shorts and flip flops is fine Right on the lake Service was slow out of the blocks but they made up for it down the stretch. Kinda like my golf game.

Food was very good. We ordered Bama style pulled pork, smoked chicken and smoked turkey sandwiches. All the sides were solid. The green beans tasted just like my grandmother's used to. However, the service was painful. We waited a long time by the "wait to be seated" sign and finally asked if we were supposed to order at the counter and turns out they were doing "counter service" today. After ordering and paying we waited more than 45 minutes more for our food. They don't have nearly enough staff for Memoral Day weekend.

Nice service and delicious food! Only docking a star because they forgot to give us 3 of our sides in our to-go order. :/ FOOD [4/5] ========= + 6 Ribs (5/5) Absolutely delicious. Tender, great portion size, marinated and seasoned perfectly. Reasonably priced! Even comes with a free cornbread and some pickles for acidity. + Side: Mud Pie (4/5) Very very sweet. A pretty good dessert, just too sweet for me. Has the consistency of chocolate pudding with some oreos mashed in. + Side: Jambalaya (4/5) I thought this could have been more flavorful. The rice was kind of dry. + Side: Pork Chili (5/5) Very delicious! Pork was really good and the whole side was flavorful.

WHERE DO ALL THE LOCALS GO? In a destination city like Tahoe City? Well, you go to Moe's Original Bar B Que..... So dog gone local is this place. So laid back is this place. So fun (at nights you can jump on the stage to sing) is this place. We stopped in here as one of our stops to graze our way through the day with food and beverage. The weather was great so why no stop in to see the Lake and its Marina? You would have a great view of the South side of the lake from Moe's. You would have decent BBQ. You would have a laid back atmosphere. You would have decent beverages. You would have FUN (by the way, our group's middle name is FUN)

DO NOT GO- way better places. Drinks were terrible. Draft beer OK, band manager was a D, one bartender for 50+ people and here's our $92 of to-go food. I'm ready to charge this back, how pathetic.

Food was delicious! Show was great! View is spectacular. We will definitely be back! Not sure why they don't have better reviews?!?

I came with a total group of 4 on a Tuesday around 6pm and no one was by the front. Eventually the bartender noticed us and sat us down. He took our drink order right away but then it took forever for him to come back with them. Our food also took a long time. When we finally got our food, all of sides were cold. Our server was no where to be found after that, so we had to ask another server for a refill. When we asked her, she gave us an annoyed look and said "sure." The only hot thing on our plates were our meats and even that wasn't that great. The prices are ridiculous for the food quality. I would not recommend and would definitely not go back.

Hubby and I decided to stop in for date night, the last time I visited I was pregnant with my now 6 year old. I ordered the "Bama Style" Pulled Pork Platter with Collard Greens and Baked Apples. The pulled pork dressed in their housemade bbq and aioli like blend is just incredible, served with fresh slaw and a delicious sliced dill pickle! And you cannot forget the sides, their baked apples taste like a fresh slice of warm dutch apple pie! Having family from the south, collard greens have always been a Southern staple for me. These had the perfect amount of saltiness, as well as a nice little kick! The cornbread was of course buttery, fresh and delicious! ⁣ Unsweetened Teas, Hubby is more of a fan of unsweetened tea, so he drank both of our teas lol! I would recommend visiting this small local business, great staff and meat is smoked daily! If you're looking for dinner with a view or some live music, this is the place! We're looking forward to returning for another date night! SYOY! Music: Folk Bed by audionautix.com License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode

Horrible service dirty sticky tables food was cold it was expensive and the portions were tiny.

You can find better. We ordered 3 meals and the total came out to $80 without tip. I don't think it was worth the price. The best part of the meal was the meat, it was seasoned and cooked well. However, the sides were definitely canned and the mac and cheese and corn bread tasted like they were sitting out for a while. Sad because the server was running around by herself, she did a great job though. It's in a really great spot too, i wish the food was at least worth its price.

Food was phenomenal. You already know it's gonna be bangin when the ribs are sold out. Got the pulled pork sando with sweet potato casserole and baked beans. Dude at the counter hooked me up with the casserole and it was bangin. Lowkey looked like cat barf but shit if all cat barf tasted like that I'd eat it all the time. Baked beans were also on point cooked well with awesome seasoning. Pork in the sandwich was moist and flavorful Service was great as well. They don't have waiters which take your order at the table, you order yourself at the counter. The workers were very nice and helpful Ambiance was incredible. Amazing location right next to the water with walkways around it and tons of greenery and decor. The restaurant itself had a great rustic aesthetic and cool wall designs. They also have a super dope outside patio where they also hosted bands to play in the evening. I'm not sure how often bands play but it was great to have around. The bathrooms were a touch messy just from the business running all day. Forgot to poop but it's okay I try next time Wish I could come here everyday. Had a great time and you will too

Came here for food after a day out on the water! We shared a platter of the fried catfish, pulled pork, and chicken. Of the three, the chicken was by far the best. Would definitely recommend! This pulled pork and catfish were decent but wouldn't co crazy over these. The cornbread which came w the platters were excellent . Really enjoyed these. The sides were all decent as well!

We love Moe's and visit every time we go to Tahoe! Great food and friendly staff and beautiful lake views!

Food was great! We had the smoked wings and Bama pulled pork platter. Mac n cheese, potato salad and baked beans were also very yummy.

Perfect location on the water. Would be a fun place to hang out when they have live music and have a few drinks. Service was really good. Food was ok ..ribs not bad, "Bama Style"cheeseburger , house chips and Mac & cheese were pretty good but a little too greasy.

A short trail from town leads past a beach, volcanic rock wall to a marina with docks from which to drink in the most sublime sunset in all the universe. The end of the path leads to Moe's a gold mine of bbq sides. Get 3 sides from a list of 15 for $12. You never had red beans and rice like this, bathed in a copious briny nectar-- a new dimension of intensity overflowing expectations of the possible

If you have three hours to waste for mediocre food, come to Moe's. The service is terrible and they understaff the restaurant so that you are left to wait inordinate times for your food. Only two people working in the entire restaurant today...open tables but we still waited two hours for our two orders. This place used to be great but it's gone downhill to the point we will not be back.

We came to this place on mid-season day and were very please with the friendliness of the staff. Food was really good and I have to say one of the best ribs I ever had, perfectly cooked and not overloaded with bbq sauce. Beers are make on site, so you can't go wrong if you go to this place.

Spare your self, don't ever come here. Over priced Over and hour wait Small portion Food wasn't even good They had me waiting about and hour for 8 wings.. There was literally only one table order besides mine... When the food finally came out, the side portions were so incredibly small it was ridicules. I thought "At least the food might be really good!" No. The food wack. The cheese in the Mac & Cheese had already harden when it was served to me, and was so greasy, I couldn't finish it. The Jambalaya was literally about 6 spoon fulls of plan Spanish Rice. The Wings only come in franks Redhot Buffalo Sauce. They put my food in a to-go bag, when I was there for dine in, and they forgot one of the sides. But I will say the girl at the front and the ambiance were really nice. Everything else was so incredibly disappointing.

We had decided we'd go here for supper. We walked over to the beautiful spot right on the water. We tried the first door we saw and it was locked. The restaurant was lit up, but we didn't see anyone inside. We went to another door and it was also locked, but we did see people inside. Third try was a charm and we got in! Maybe the other doors were locked because it was a slow night. We took a look at the menu, asked a few questions of the server, and made our selections. We both chose the pulled pork platters, but my husband got his "bama-style" with two sauces and cole slaw. When our platters came out, I took a bite of my broccoli casserole and it was cold. My pork chili was lukewarm, as well as my meat. My husband had two salads that were supposed to be cold, but his meat also wasn't very warm. Our server apologized and immediately took them back to the kitchen. When they came out again, everything was a good temp. She felt so bad about it that she gave us a free mudslide pudding for dessert. We appreciated her making it right for the customers. All the food was good, some with different flavors than we expected. There was plenty of food and we definitely didn't leave hungry. Nothing really wowed us, but it was fine. Our server was very personable and friendly. The ambiance was very nice, with a fireplace and several tv's around the rooms. I imagine during the winter ski season, this place will be hopping.

Sort by recent please. That was one of the worst serving experiences I have ever had. We entered the restaurant at 5pm and there was two other people inside so the Waiter/Front of House had us grab a seat and he would wait it. We grabbed some menus and sat down. It took us over an hour of pestering to place orders. We went up to order which is apparently what the intention was. And the front of house asked us he would come over in a minute. We waited patiently for 30 mins and tried to flag him down again and had to wait an additional 45 minutes. He eventually came and we asked whats the difference between the platter and sandwich."the platter has cornbread and coleslaw" ok cool we ordered three platters and some drinks. It took another 20 mins to get food and our drinks never came. We had to go up and cancel the drinks. The food was ok and two/three of us were missing coleslaw. We asked about and got told apparently it doesn't come with it. Fine. Whatever. The food was hot and okay. The price is not ideal, for 70 dollars we got three platters that were served in disposable cutlery and no knives and minimal portions. Seems fairly pricy. Not sure why this place had 4 stars. It took us nearly two and a half hours to leave and probably thirty minutes was actually eating the other two was figuring out what was going on.

Decided to come here last minute because it was convenient but I honestly regret spending time and money here. They only offered pork and their non-pork options weren't even good. Their Tri Tip sandwich was not good, tasted like regular meat with some bbq sauce slapped on it. The sides were terrible, mac n cheese was literally just mac and no cheese...disappointing to say the least. Their baked apple was not good I felt like i was eating baby food, would rather have apple sauce at that point. All in all, the only good option that I had from their menu was the Bama Cheeseburger. So it wasn't all bad just one item on the menu was pretty good, but thats sad.

New location just down a few buildings since the last time we visited. Huge space compared to what they used to be in, still great views of the lake, and neat there's a brewery inside. Food was still great so you can count on that but wow, the service really lacked and sadly so much so I had to update my review to 3 stars. We were there on a Tuesday around 12:30 for lunch and they weren't busy. I think maybe around 10 tables were seated. However from what we could tell there was just 2 servers and 1 person behind the bar...and it showed. Our waters weren't refilled, no one jumped in to help when our son spilled all his water, it took too long for someone to come to our table when we first arrived, and our food took long enough to come out where it makes you question why is this taking so long. In general we didn't even feel that welcomed or appreciated for being there. Being this was the second time we weren't that impressed with staff we're beginning to wonder if we'd return. Super bummer in my opinion.

It's been a little over two hours and we still don't have our food. We also spent thirty minutes waiting in line.

Had the buffet dinner on the Fourth of July. I believe this was a Fourth of July special, but we got an all-you-can-eat buffet for $35 per person. We had each of the cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese, black eyed peas and collard greens, gumbo, pulled pork, BBQ chicken wings and legs, smoked turkey, ribs, chicken, and some kind of Oreo pudding dessert. Meat: The ribs were solid. Very moist and juicy, though some ribs were a bit on the fatty side. Went nicely with the red BBQ sauce, which was a little sweet and a little spicy, exactly how a good BBQ sauce should be. The pulled pork was a bit dry, but worked okay with the red sauce, which balanced out the dryness, so overall was decent. The other meat was pretty mediocre. Sides: Among the sides, I thought the slaw was the best. Paired well with the pulled pork. The potato salad was okay too, as were the baked beans, though something about the latter tasted a little off to me (can't quite pinpoint what). The blacked eyed peas and collard greens were kind of bland and cold, which might have been due to the buffet style for the evening, but I did appreciate that they weren't too wet and buttery, as collard greens often are. The gumbo was fine. The mac and cheese was highly disappointing, as it very light on the cheese. I don't need the cheesiest mac and cheese ever, but this was more like pasta with butter and some shredded cheese on top. Very little cheese incorporated *into* the macaroni. Dessert: The Oreo pudding thing was good. Simple, but tasty. The sort of thing you might expect someone to bring to a potluck--but that you would be happy that they brought. Overall, I would come back if I were in Tahoe and for some reason were craving BBQ, in which case I would order the ribs. But otherwise, there are better options around.

Ambience amazing, service something left to be desired had no clue we were going to meet the president of the cool guy club! Surprised he had time to serve our drinks! The stars obviously were for the location and ambiance! Service stars not represented.

Giving a one star because it's the lowest I can give. Food came out cold and also took 30 minutes for us to put our order in. Not because there was a long line of awaiting patrons but because the person taking orders enjoyed taking his time. I was told there was tri tip but after I paid and ordered, they told me they did not have any. Ordered chicken instead. Unfortunately the chicken was still pink in the sandwich I was given. Couldn't eat anything I was given and left hungry. Also want to clarify that this restaurant is NOT vegan friendly whatsoever despite various misleading reviews. Only redeeming factor was the margarita.

I give this place 5 star because the pulled pork sandwich was AMAZING! I went in for BBQ ribs and they had sold out that day.. the cashier recommended this and she made the best recomendation. The place was clean and service was a 10/10.

Great setting on the water and marina. The service is a little slow but the remodel is well done. My issue is everything is loaded with vinegar. The bbq sauce has no sweetness and the vinegar is way too much. I have tried all the side dishes and none a very good. Again way too much vinegar in both the potato salad and coke slaw. I wish the owner would put some choices of bbq sauce out for you to add your bbq of choice, sweeter, vinegar, etc.. Also your better off to maybe just get the pulled pork, drive over to Safeway and get your bbq sauce of choice, get their deviled egg potato salad and coleslaw and now you have a quality football game winner!!!

The bartender was being extremely rude because his teams losing and he was not happy about his tip,and the food was ok he was childish slammed are plate and giving us dirty looks from the bar.The worst experience In Tahoe only coming here for fishing

Terrible service for cafeteria level food. Server threw a fit about a smaller than he wanted tip. Threw our food on the table and wouldn't look at us on our way out. The food itself was pretty bad, Mac and cheese was bland and the pulled pork sandwich was equivalent to middle school cafeteria food.

I'm only going with a 4 star review because of the inefficiency of the process. It's probably due to a lack of available information employees. However, the beer is delicious and the food is out of this world. It's definitely worth the wait for the food though. Try the pork chili... tre bon! My meal was the smoked turkey sandwich and side of chili and tomato cucumber salad.

" Sold out of mostly everything before 630pm. Miserable to try to order anything. But food is decent and the staff are really nice.

Went for take 2 employees running the entire floor! Waited a bit to order but employees were great and food worth the wait!

This place has the worst food I have ever had. We were excited to try their bbq chicken. It tasted like they made it yesterday and microwaved it before packing it up. It was tasteless and DRY - even the drumsticks. How can a bbq place mess up chicken drumsticks?? The kicker is - I ordered 3 chickens and I definitely did not get 3 chickens. Unless my math is wrong, that should mean 6 wings - there were only 3 and the box seemed wrong. Just as well because we fed it to our dogs - it was that bad

Our experience at Moe's Original BBQ in Tahoe City was, frankly, heart-breaking. We were met with lackadaisical service, our waiter displaying a level of inattentiveness that bordered on insolence. The wait time was excruciating, and the punchline to this comedy of errors was the announcement that almost all menu items were unavailable. No effort was made to mitigate our disappointment; the news was delivered with an air of unconcern that was nothing short of a slap in the face. What really stung, however, was the overt animosity towards tourists. We were left feeling alienated, a bitter taste that overshadowed the entire experience. In all, Moe's was a painful letdown. Its shortcomings in service, food availability, and hospitality left a wound that will take time to heal. It's with a heavy heart that I advise fellow travelers to give this establishment a wide berth; Tahoe City has far better to offer.

Food was good. View was good, They welcome dogs outdoors, which's is a bonus. Food and drinks came out fast, only aspect that was lacking was that they didn't supply napkins. To eat bbq ribs without napkins is a bit challenging. The table near us asked for napkins also. Neither of our tables got napkins. You would think it would be common sense to provide napkins when you sell ribs with sauce on it , I added napkin clipart to my photo to make the experience better, but overall a good place to eat. I made due and washed my hands with the drinking water between ribs, all is well.

The food was delicious and a lot for a great value! We got the pulled pork, baked beans, slaw, and sweet potatoe casserole. The BBQ sauce was amazing with a great spice to it. The slaw was different than your normal slaw and I liked it much better. Then the pulled pork and beans were really good as well. Would definitely recommend. Love the option to get sandwich or platter.

This appears to be the only place in North Tahoe that allows dogs in their heated patio, so if you brought your dog, this is the spot. Great food, great beer selection, friendly wait staff, and a warm dog friendly patio. What more could you want?

It's consistently good every time I go. Great facility with outdoor and indoor seating with lakefront view. Service has also been good every time I go. Last night I had the smoked chicken and it was outstanding.

This place is huge. The food was really good. We were the only ones there on a Friday night of a holiday weekend. It was empty. I thought the cornbread was really toasted nice. It needed some butter. Thanks for a nice meal.

Unfortunately nothing special. Gave 3 stars for location which has a nice view of the boats docked. Spare ribs were dry. Had to smother them in the sauce. Cornbread was good. Wings tasted like they were frozen food type and came out of oven. The mahi mahi salad was really good but the best part of the meal was the watermelon which was crunchy and juicy. I wouldn't come here again due to food being so bland.

So you arrive at Lake Tahoe and serendipity lands you at a Southern BBQ joint for a 3 pm late lunch? We simply yelped for lunch and pulled in. We must be brilliant. Charming marina restaurant. Excellent food. One of the best BBQ sauces I have ever eaten. We loved it on their tasty chicken wings and a great pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was mostly pork with just a perfect mid ratio of sauce. More on the table for the last bite. Cute and nice server. Ryan I think.Awesome broccoli side salad and cheesy grits. We had two good craft beers from a choice of about 15. They had a live band coming in at 5 and people needed to buy tickets. What a venue. So we traveled a couple of months ago in Georgia and South Carolina. Moe's can compete with the great BBQ joints there. But this Lake Tahoe view in quaint Tahoe City? A plus Moe's.

First off, I just want to state that this is not the only Moe's Bar B Que in the world. This is a chain that is in many different states across the country and they serve up some great barbecue. When your in Tahoe for the first time, you have to go down and visit the docks. While we were down checking out the scene, we happily saw that they had a Moe's Bar B Que. Of course, we had to stop in as we were so hungry at 2 o'clock. We had the choice to sit on the patio or inside and being such a beautiful day we decided to eat out on the patio. The view was amazing, overlooking the docked boats and the gorgeous blue water. To our surprise, they also had live music. The gentlemen playing was such a nice man and he played some great tunes. As the food at Moe's goes, it's pretty good barbecue. My go to is always the pulled pork platter which you get two sides and a big piece of cornbread. The pulled pork is great and the barbecue sauces just add so much good flavor. For my sides, I got the broccoli salad which was like nothing I've ever had before. It was so flavorful and yummy. The macaroni and cheese could have been better, but it was still good. There is so much great food to choose from at Moe's and you should always leave full and happy. The waitress was super friendly and I loved her laidback, yet professional vibe. The service was quick and we loved our time here! Overall, Moe's Bar B Que, especially in this great location in Tahoe, is a must try if you've never had it before. The servings are generous and the service is amazing.

Order the wings with buffalo sauce. They smoke the wings before they fry them. Nice meaty wings. If you like wings, you gotta try these.

Best place I've eaten in Tahoe City so far. Great views right on the marina, but unlike other nearby places they also serve great food. The park was super tender and all the sides were great. Especially liked the cornbread that comes with any platter as well as the potato salad! Be warned, a number of the sides are spicy though so ask if you don't like spice. A highlight was the smoked turkey breast. Super flavourful and the smokiness really came through. You can also grab a craft beer from the connected brewery with your dinner! Don't miss this spot if you're in the area.

We tried it out. They make a decent BBQ. The St Louis ribs are actually excellent. Friendly staff. Cornbread could be better if not fried or whatever they did to it, but the chicken, also great.

Place was about a quarter full on a Tuesday night. Staff were really just going through the motions. Food is always been average, but sometimes a pulled pork sandwich hits the spot. Real kicker this time was when I to put a $10 bill in the tip jar and was informed that the 15%gratuity had already been added to the credit card .... Maybe I missed the sign that said 15% surcharge added to all orders......oh well......

Every time I'm in Tahoe City I make sure to stop at Moe's for some delicious BBQ! Both the ribs and wings are my go-tos. So many sides to choose from but my favorites are the baked beans and mac & cheese. Definitely worth the stop!
