Carolina Moe’s BBQ has exceptional BBQ and their owner & staff were super friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We reached out to Moe about catering our wedding but hadn’t tasted his bbq yet. He was very kind and arranged for us to pick up a sample platter. We were blown away!! Great bbq, collards and Mac and cheese. That’s coming from someone from eastern NC whose family is very passionate about bbq! We can’t wait to share their food with all our wedding guests next June!
They catered for my apartment complex and the pulled pork sandwich was amazing! Fries were delicious and so was the Mac and cheese
I'm not a BBQ snob, but this was the best brisket I've ever had, and I've had a LOT of brisket. The crust was perfect, the meat succulent and flavorful, and an overall beautiful presentation. The fat was incredibly flavorful and blended really nicely with the meat itself. Absolutely loved it. The experience was unbelievable - DELICIOUS! This man and his team know how to cook! I also loved the green beans - they were kind of stewed and had a bbq sauce component to them that made them tangy and delicous. 11/10 would eat again, would eat everyday. Anyone that likes bbq will eat Moe's and leave LOVING bbq.
Better than certain "Michelin tecommended" restaurants downtown Raleigh! Pulled pork was flavorful and tender! No sauce needed.
Best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life! Especially the pulled pork but the ribs are amazing, the meatballs are excellent and the brisket is outstanding! Luckily I was at a catered event that’s how I sampled everything tonight. Green beans out of this world! If you’ve never had smoked corn kernels you’re really missing you run and get those big nothing else. Don’t get me started on the banana pudding!!! The staff who catered were all outstanding and super friendly, engaging, and informative too! I’ll be finding this place soon!
Beans! Holy smokes. They were sweet and smokey. I am a bit of a bean connoisseur. These beans are no joke. Cool beans...
We used Carolina Moe’s for our wedding & have received so many compliments about the food!! We stumbled upon Moe’s page after we had a falling out with our original caterers, but were so happy to have booked with Moe instead. We got everything we wanted, including smoking on site (which we so badly wanted), and so much food - Moe made it happen. The food, service, communication, and customer service were all top notch. 12/10 recommend!!
Thank you so much Lexi! We really enjoyed working with you guys. It was a beautiful wedding! Thank you for your kind words!
Great food, but issues with the catering service - I hate to put a neutral/negative review but wanted to be honest because I expected more from this caterer, especially given the other reviews here. I had catering with setup for a group of 45 for an event that lasted only 3-4 hours start to finish. Moe was excellent with communication the whole process and responds quickly to emails! I had planned it so that the food would be ready for guests when they arrived. The food was great and got several compliments, but the food was finally set up 45 minutes later than the agreement. They did communicate that they would be 15 min late, which is no big deal, but then that turned into more and more time. My mom had to quickly help the driver set everything up at an event she was supposed to be enjoying, because everyone was waiting on the food! Even though the food was great, this feels unprofessional for a catering service where so much depends on reliable timing. I understand that stuff comes up, but this caused stress and dug into event time.
Hey Elena, thank you for your honest review. We do apologize once again for being late. As I explained before traffic was terrible during rush hour and I did pass the exit by mistake. So once again, I do apologize for being late to your event. Thank you for your honesty and we will definitely work our timing for deliveries. We are not perfect, but we try our best to make our customers happy. We are sorry that we let you down. If there’s anything we can do to make this right please give me a call or email. Thank you!
Carolina Moe’s makes my belly happy! The team is great! The food is great! I had a pulled pork sandwich from their food truck, 10/10! Then the next weekend I had a mix of everything at my friend’s wedding they catered. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed our food.
