| - This tasty BBQ joint in downtown Matthews has a fantastic beer selection, good food and a fun, laid-back vibe. I only wish it hadn't taken so long to enjoy our meal. Without table service, guests order food from a single register at the counter, and getting through the line took close to 20 minutes during our recent visit. Plates are delivered to your table, but they leave it to you to clean up afterward. I wish I could say this was reflected in the price, but Moe's is no less expensive then other comparable BBQ joints -- although you do save on tips. There's ample seating inside, as well as a smattering of tables on the street.
The food was solid, from the delicious wings we shared as an appetizer, to the succulent pulled pork I ordered for my entree. The Mac n' Cheese and baked bean sides were decent, but both could've used more flavor. Honestly, having heard how great the food was here, I was expecting a bit more.
The beer selection, however, is the real highlight. Craft brews from Charlotte and other parts of NC are prominently featured, but there were also some interesting choices from other parts of the U.S. On our visit, I enjoyed two delicious pints of Wicked Weed's Pernicious IPA, which isn't the easiest brew to find on tap.
I wanted to like this place more, but it just took WAY to long to place our order the night we were there. If Moe's wants to keep its counter ordering system in place, it needs to have more than one register going at a time.
