Moe's Original BBQ | Greenville's Mouthwatering BBQ Addition
Last Friday night my wife and I went on a much needed “dinner and a movie” date. I know, nothing original, but honestly it’s one of favorite kind of dates. This one was particularly memorable, and not just because Crazy Rich Asians was an absolutely fantastic movie.
Moe’s Original BBQ, Greenville’s newest player in the BBQ game, treated us to a sampling of their menu. Don’t let the word sampling fool you, we left with two to-go boxes.
We started with dessert. And drinks. Or both. This is their signature drink, the Bushwacker, an adult ice cream drink that is deliciously sweet but also packs a punch with it’s strong concoction of liquors.
Next up were nachos. BBQ nachos, of course. Homemade chips lathered in their unique Alabama style BBQ sauce, cheese sauce, pulled pork. We were getting full about one third of ways into this, and we were only just getting started.
As a self-proclaimed wing connoisseur, I can say with all of my completely real and not at all made up authority, these wings are amazing. Smoked wings are always a treat, tossed in their homemade buffalo sauce, it was very hard to share these. But it was date night, so I did. I know you’re wondering what those hush-puppy looking ball things are. They are battered pulled boudin balls, with their Alabama style BBQ sauce. These are a Moe’s Original BBQ specialty item, and were a huge hit when they won the people’s choice at Taste of the Update. These are addicting, I will warn you right now. The cornbread was like cake, collard greens made me feel like I could eat vegetables a lot easier if they were all like this. Finally, the cucumber watermelon salad was incredible refreshing and will be something I’m going to attempt to make at home before summer’s end.
We finally got to the main course, consisting of their smoked chicken, turkey, ribs, and pulled pork. The pork melted in my mouth, the rib meat fell off the bone without any effort whatsoever. The turkey and chicken were cooked to perfection, and I could drink the BBQ sauce they I dipped them in.
By the time we were to desert time, we were already determining we wouldn’t be getting popcorn at the movie, and almost certainly might need a gurney to get us through the door to our car we were so full. The banana pudding, and I say this un-ironically, was exactly how I remembered it being when I grew up. As a chocoholic, I would take a swimming pool full of the chocolate pudding.
In case you need any more convincing, Moe’s Original BBQ is a must visit. They are priced fairly, have fantastic friendly service, and perfectly located right next to Liability Brewing on Stone Avenue in the new Westone development . There is plenty of outdoor seating, perfect for families and their four legged friends to sit on the patio this fall.
