Really great BBQ spot off the beaten path. The food portions were large, quality, good menu, and the sauces for BBQ were delicious (the fire and spicy were great). Jesse (the bartender) was one of the nicest guys we’ve met in a while and his great energy was the icing on the cake. We’ll def be back!

Food and service are always amazing. Always treated us well. We haven't been here in 6 years, and the food and service is as great as it was then.

Stopped by Mookie's with a friend and had a pretty mixed experience. The service was a definite highlight, but the food and atmosphere didn't quite match up.
The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. I'd give them a solid 4 stars. The restaurant itself has a decent, casual vibe, but the atmosphere felt a bit average, earning it a 3-star rating from me.
For the food, I ordered the buffalo wings. They were grilled and had a good, smoky flavor, but they were a little on the dry side. I found that the side sauces were what really made them enjoyable. I also tried the potato salad, which was just okay—nothing particularly memorable. My friend wasn't very impressed with their order, either, noting that the pulled chicken sandwich and baked beans were not very tasty or well-seasoned.
Overall, it's a place with great service and potential, but the food didn't quite deliver. It's worth a try if you're in the area, but I'd suggest being strategic with your order.

We had the special which contained a large variety of meats. The brisket was tender and the pulled pork and chicken were good. Liked the barbecue sauces as well.

Not worth the calories as the bread was stale, the meat was salty, the bbq beans were one dimensional sweet. The corn bread and corn were good as was the original bbq and mustard sauce but they weren’t enough to redeem the meal. The atmosphere wasn’t anything to comment on.

The burnt ends are amazing! There is simply nothing more to say... they are that good. Staff is friendly. We usually do take out, so I can't speak to the atmosphere of dining in.

Mookie’s BBQ is for barbecue lovers! Jessie, our server, was fantastic—super attentive and gave great menu suggestions that made our meal even better.
We started with the nachos and wings, both served in perfect portions and bursting with flavor. The brisket on the nachos was a standout—tender, smoky, and loaded with that rich BBQ goodness. The burnt ends were absolutely delectable: moist, flavorful, with a beautiful smoke ring and bark, and surprisingly not overly fatty while still juicy. The ribs were cooked to perfection—soft enough to pull apart but still held together nicely in your hand.
The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the collard greens were packed with flavor.
Highly recommend Mookie’s if you're in the area and craving some top-tier BBQ. You won’t be disappointed!
BBQ varieties were good but just slightly little dry. Sauces were delicious except vinegar.
Peach cobbler was excellent; Banana pudding was ok.

We had ordered a variety of different items. Ribs, potato salad, coleslaw, corn bread, pulled chicken, pulled pork, cinnamon apples, corn, baked beans, chicken tenders and fries.
Ribs, pulled pork, fries, corn and cornbread were the staples of this establishment IMO. The picture added was the chicken tenders and fries that were served to us. The waiter assigned to us shift ended at 4pm. We were sitted at 3:47pm. Needless to say, he was ready to go. Excellent quantity of food for the price the quality wasn't the best.
The bathrooms were VERY clean.

Mookie's makes great ribs and great sausage, but they need to either figure out their brisket or simply take it off the menu.
The ribs are excellent, tender but toothy, well-seasoned, and served with a range of sauces that aren't necessary but can complement their enjoyment.
The sausage is a real high point - not too many northern BBQ joints make smoked sausage on this level - and my typical go-to has been to order the sausage platter and add other meats just on how well they do it.
But the brisket is a crime. Every time I've ordered it, it's been dry, grey, flavorless, and generally more akin to shoe-leather than anything you'd want to eat.
And it's not just me. If you look on any delivery platform, you'll see the same, that the brisket is just at such a dismal level that it drags down the whole experience.
Mookie's - please fix the brisket. Or simply take it off your menu. You are great at lots of things and I will keep ordering your sausage and ribs for so long as I live here. But the brisket is simply a crime and every order you send will deter people from ordering again in the future.
