Delicious BBQ in a uniquely decorated building with a quarter arcade. So many original and unique collectibles. Several pinball and other arcade games. Huge selection of bourbon. Amazing seasoned fries.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent as. The decorations make this place an interesting to sit and look at everything at your eating.

I gotta tell you, this place was good. I rarely eat meat, and I mean almost never, and since this is a BBQ joint. I had the pork nachos. The meat was super tender and had a nice flavor to it. My husband loved The Steve sandwich. If you love BBQ, it is worth the drive. And the decorations are fun.

Location:
It has an excellent location down the main drag. Handicap parking is available right in front of the main door with inclined access.
Ambiance:
Very causal with chairs and tables or picnic benches to sit on. Lots and lots of collectibles on every wall, large and small.
Good taste and quality:
This is a summary of the food from folks in our party. We ordered the BBQ Sundae. It is something I would recommend for everyone to try if they truly enjoy pulled pork. The individual flavors in the sundae were outstanding. The core slaw was flavorful, the beans were balanced and not too sweet. The pulled pork was moist, tender and incredibly perfect.
Both of the sauces were very good and complemented the mattress perfectly.
I personally came for the beef brisket, so I ordered it without any sides. Unfortunately, the beef was very dry and had an okay flavor. Their fries had a very off flavor and are something I would not order again.
If you're searching for excellent pulled pork you must stop here. If beef brisket is your joy, I'd search elsewhere.
The Reuben had coleslaw instead of sauerkraut and was very delicious. The bread was crispy, not soggy, and the corned beef tender and flavorful.

Great food, staff is friendly and professional. Thank you. I had corned beef , brisket not on the burn and a salad delicious.

Came here today for a date. We ordered a full slab of ribs and the Chuck Norris with a side of fries to share. We tried to get the burnt ends but they ran out for the day. I believe we was there around 1 in the afternoon so it went quick. Which let's you know everything is cooked fresh. I also had a diet Pepsi as my drink. Food came pretty quick maybe 15 to 20 minutes and it was amazing. The chuck Norris had plenty of different meats including chicken and I believe pork chop etc. It was all delicious and my date loved the slab of ribs. And their BBQ is amazing and we definitely recommend the sweet spicy BBQ sauce they have on the table. The place looked amazing and smelled amazing. We will definitely come back. And the price wasn't bad at all. Ended up being around 55 bucks and we had left overs.

We were there with our family of 19. No complaints with the food and service but then we were charged a $20 extra fee for using our charge card. I feel this was excessive and unnecessary so we will find a new bbq place for our family gathering.

Took the whole family, they accommodated our group of 10 easily and our service was great! Our server, Sierra, was attentive and made great menu recommendations. The food was amazing! The kitchen did a great job getting our large order out timely and all together. Even though you get plenty of food save room for the Fried Cheesecake! The decor, music and whole atmosphere is retro and family friendly. We had the best time with the whole staff and will definitely bring more friends and family back with us next time!

We've always enjoyed South Moon, but recently it's been nothing but a disappointment. Last time we ordered BBQ ribs, and they were petrified and inedible. We didn't complain because we thought it was just a fluke. Tonight we ordered pulled pork sandwiches (among other items,) and we received no sauce. The sandwiches were so dry we couldn't eat them as we had no BBQ sauce at home (we always order online to-go.) This time, we called. The woman who answered apologized and asked me if we live nearby to come and get the sauce (we do not.) She apologized again and said she'd talk to whoever packed the order. I explained that I wanted a credit, and she said she'd give us extra sauce next time. This seems unacceptable considering we couldn't eat the dry pulled pork sandwiches we just ordered, paid for, and drove 25 miles round trip to pick-up. This is the second time in a row we couldn't eat the food we paid for from here. We won't be going back for a third strike. Additionally, they need someone with better customer service skills answering calls concerning orders. Offering us extra BBQ sauce next time we order doesn't make the sandwiches we ordered tonight edible and less dry. Why would there be a next time? We've already wasted over $55 on these last two visits. No, thanks to the extra sauce.

The place is cute inside and the girl who checked us out was nice, but I was very disappointed by the food we got tonight. Maybe we ordered at a bad time, but the ribs were almost inedible they were so hard and dry. Literally looked and tasted like they sat under a heater for a day. The Mac and cheese was some weird Mostaccioli and pork with a smokey flavor, but I didn't see or taste any cheese. It was also old and dry. We got pork belly which was pretty good, but that was really the only decent thing we got. I was really looking forward to trying this place, but we were very let down.

South moon barbecue is absolutely the coolest restaurant ever. The outside is plain, but when entered its a collectors paradise.

Suzanne Bidgood

Been here 5x now and everything i get the pulled pork sandwich. It's down right delicious every time. Tons of meat on the sandwich, has never been dry, tons of good fries, plenty of sweet barbecue sauce. Plenty of delicious food to fill you up. Staff is always super friendly, place is clean and prices are fair. Place so far has not disappointed. Great Job South Moon!!

Upon entering the facility, I noticed how packed and busy it was. I waited patiently and I as soon as the server swung by to the front, I asked if I can sit at the bar if there was a seat. She kindly said yes. Luckily there was a seat in between some customers. Th couple sitting next to me were amazing and I felt so comfortable around them. Friendly, they are! The gentleman on my right was cool too! Not knowing what to get, I asked the two customers and they more than helped me with a few suggestion.

Overall: Great food and great folks! For sure coming back to try the ribs!

Parking: It was quite busy the day I went but it wasn’t difficult to find parking.
