Moe's Original BBQ - Charlottesville - Water Street

Good food, good drinks, and nice atmosphere

Yummy food and fast service would recommend

Good local barbecue, a little on the pricey side but not surprising given the location. $15 for a sandwich and two sides.

We tried the wings and ribs platter. Both were fantastic. Their hot sauce is terrific too! Love the corn bread, potato salad and banana pudding. Cole slaw and baked beans were very average. The service was friendly. And the food was ready very fast. Went there on a Sunday around 5 pm and it wasn’t crowded at all. The live music was also great.

Everything a BBQ place should be. Relaxed atmosphere, good beer selection, a bold BBQ sauce that isn’t molasses overload, and sides that actually hold their own. Too often, sides are an afterthought but not here; their cornbread is stellar, their potato salad made me actually enjoy potato salad, and the banana pudding was light and delightful. The ribs were the kind of tender that makes even the bones pliable (though one got a bit charred and hard). The wings were juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside - definitely a cut above the rest. The price is right. Topping it all off, they hosted local live music extraordinaire Matthew O’Donnell - a warm and whimsical presence.

Inexpensive beer and BBQ without compromising taste. Highly recommend. Weekends can be quite busy because of location and large outdoor patio with people watching.

I give Moe's 4.5 stars. The food was excellent! I had the catfish platter with hush puppies, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. My companion had the rib platter with collard greens, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread. We really enjoyed everything! We were quite surprised that they didn't have a dessert menu, though. Their only dessert offering was banana pudding which was pretty good, but wouldn't have been my first choice if there were other options.I had to deduct .5 because the bathroom was not up to par. I walked in, but it had a distinct urine smell and the floor around the toilet was very wet. There was no way I was going anywhere near it. I just walked right back out without going. I would suggest that they have someone monitor and clean them throughout the evening - especially on busy nights.All-in-all, I would definitely go back for the food. They also had a pretty good live musical performer there that night, and the ambience was nice.I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting great food, music, and a friendly staff. Just plan to get dessert elsewhere after dinner and be wary of the bathroom facilities unless they've been cleaned.

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Went for lunch and got pork rib sandwich, boudin balls (a special) and collard greens. All very good but particularly the boudin balls - incredible. The sandwich was just a touch dry to get 5 stars for me but a great local bbq.

To me it was first time. The atmosphere was very nice.. OMG the food was awesome. Entertainment was nice also. I would return.

This place has great food and a friendly staff! If your in the area you must check it out!

Rolled up at Moe's for lunch, following my nose. Got the small rib platter with two sides - in this case, fried green tomatoes and baked apples - and cornbread. Unfortunately the ribs were tough and salty, with not much smoke. However! The fried green tomatoes were absolutely excellent, tangy and crispy, fried perfectly with an tasty drizzle on them. The cornbread was moist and flavorful; I could’ve had a whole pan. The baked apples were more like apple crisp than I expected, but I'd say that was a feature, not a bug.I would definitely come back and just try a different meat next time. Given the excellence of the sides, it's possible they were just having an off day with the ribs.

Basic BBQ restaurant bar with outdoor seating and live bands sometimes. Layout isn't ideal for the band cause after paying the cover can't see it and can hardly hear it

I ordered a tail gate package today. I was excited to hear how instantly I could pick up my order and I have it home... Andy and I are so delighted because everything is fresh and fabulous! The wings have a spice, the chicken has a smokiness and the ribs are fall off the bone. The pulled pork is smoky and juicy and the sauces are spot on!!!

I have been to this place so many times. These people are one of the most friendliest. They have great atmosphere and tasty food.I surely will go back!

Amazing Bloody Mary that comes with a BBQ rib! We loved the #petfriendly patio and the jalapeño cornbread! I got the shrimp salad and husband got BBQ plate. Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here.
