Our concert was moved to Moe's BBQ and I was so happy with the change! Moe's has a super cool and chill atmosphere!! The bowling and arcade games are a very nice touch of fun! The food was incredible, super tender, delicious meat! I've been dreaming about the cornbread since we left!!! The stage is small and quaint but that gave an awesome intimate feeling with the crowd and bands!! We love Moe's and we can't wait to come back!!!

Like most people, I think my BBQ game is pretty good so I don’t usually venture out for a meal that I think I can do better - and I’ve confirmed that a couple of times eating at some less stellar BBQ joints. But (drum roll) Moe’s is “as good as I can make” (insert my wife’s eye roll look) and it WILL BE the place I choose to go to when when I get ask where I want to eat again! I LOVE hot links, and Moe’s has a fantastic take on a sandwich served “Alabama style”! Another hit for me are the sides - I had some perfect fried green tomatoes and “half mashed” potato salad! I tried all the sides my friends ordered as well and next time I want Moe’s baked beans and sweet potato casserole. Gotta comment on the interior of Moe’s = it has a funky converted bowling alley slash sports bar slash bare walls vibe that is fantastic as well! Moe’s converted the old Englewood Bowling Lanes - a place I frequently hung out in when I was in high school. Another “check mark” for me at a a place like this is “are the any locals” and yes, their here - the eclectic and the everyday guys - gives a great comfortable feel the the place. Gotta get there people!

Absolutely terrible food. The mac n cheese shouldn't be called that. It was noodles and water mixed with... ? Not sure. Save your money. We brought it up to staff and all they said was sorry.

Pulled pork: great flavor without the bbq, slaw is also well made, was dog and human approved (he was not messing around with those beans lmfao) Sweet potato casserole: hot and sweet, has corn flakes on top and to my dismay walnuts (the new guy bless his heart told me with utmost confidence there was no nuts on it, but rest assured I let him know in case someone with an allergy came in and ordered it!) Baked beans: very peppery, with green chiles or green bell peppers, very nice though. Drink: made an Arnold Palmer and it tasted off so I tried the tea by itself (and the lemonade which tastes deliciously homemade) and it definitely was a bit sour, like it wasn’t made within the last hour. Like many bbq joints I have tried in the state of Colorado over the last six months, I do wish there were some other southern sides like cornbread and fried okra or a fry of some kind. I know fried foods are harder bc some places can’t have fryers but they were serving fried chicken so I don’t know. ALSO not a hit to the business or food, but they have no deserts for those who care :) Staff was also very friendly and helpful, the vibes are pretty cool and unique with a bowling alley in the back half.
