Sandwiches were decently sized but the sides were so small we thought they were containers of sauce. Sad

Cashier put to go but we had said we would eat there; too busy shoveling food down instead of using her best customer service skills.

Overall (A)This place is a treasure located in the highest city (elevation) in the USA. From the friendly charm of the staff to rustic "dining" area to the delicious bbq this is a must go to place when in town or passing through. I think that the rating should be closer to a 4.3 or 4.5 but I might be a bit of a BBQ snob. Service (A)The staff is super friendly and nice. They did an excellent job explaining the options and providing recommendations. Took a while to pack up my carryout order but they did an excellent job packing it up and took pride in doing a great job. So there is some indoor dining but the outdoor dining is fun. I really like the layout and feel of Moes. Value (A)Seems like a good value - expect to pay between $16-$20 per person. I paid a bit more than that but added ribs. I didn't finish but if super hungry I would have. Quality (A-)The food is really good bbq. Like if I lived close by I would come all the time. And I will visit Everytime I am near by. The cornbread is really really good. The coleslaw was vinegary based. The baked beans are just okay. Was expecting a bit of a stronger flavor. The Bama pulled pork was good as were the ribs. Note the meats were all really good but nothing great. Suggestion - have a sampler platter with all your cuts of meat and two sides. Price it at $24.99 or $29.99. If my math is correct it should drive revenue and profit and introduce customers to different options. If you are in town - I would recommend stopping by and getting some Moes - next time I visit I'm going to try something different.

Service is amazing, they have a small indoor space. Beer, sodas, lemonade, teaRibs were very good, turkey was amazing. Oreo dessert was awesome. The banana pudding didn't seem to have bananas in it and was a little different but it was still good.The cornbread is nice as long as you don't get one that is a little too toasty.The coleslaw was absolutely delicious. And honestly so were the baked beans!Only thing we didn't love was the Mac n cheese.

YUMMY! Stop by and enjoy an abundance of meats and sides at this Leadville staple while chilling on the outdoor benches or take food to-go. My partner and I came here, but I had to order for us at the truck while he kept my huskies away from the offleash dogs wandering around. Everything we got was delicious! Pulled pork, cornbread, and I can't remember what else. Guess we'll just have to stop by again after the winter season ends.

The food was delicious. I got their take home platter. Great price and fed all six of us. The max and cheese is a must. The Beene were a little spicey and the pork with the sauce was yummy. Almost forgot, don't go here without getting some cornbread. So fluffy. The staff were great. Had a good laugh with them. Fun outdoor setting vibe. Didn't eat there. But would have enjoyed it.

Food was average for a BBQ place. Very small portions too. A side of beans and potato salad is cheap to make. Come on, give better helpings! The reason I gave them 1star is because of the rude cashier. We tried to order the family meal but she said we couldn't eat it there. The place was almost empty!! It was only to-go but the way she said it was very rude. "You can't eat it here". Then as she was taking our orders and rolling her eyes (yes! She must've rolled her eyes at least twice as we placed our order), she continuously shoveled food in her mouth. It was really gross. We were asked if the food was for "here or to-go". We said here. They gave us the food to go. when my daughter-in-law asked for a tray to put her food on since we were staying in their crummy yard, the cashier rolled her eyes again and gave her the metal tray. We had to ask for the paper to cover the tray after that and she acted like we wanted a sheet of gold! Just a very unwelcoming place. Better places to spend my money on the Main Street. Overall I would NOT recommend this place nor would I come back again.

We stopped in after a visit from Twin Lakes, looking for some good food. We all ended up getting variations of the brisket (which was more like steak), but it was cooked well and tasty. We sat outside and there were lots of dogs out and a band.The beans were some of the best i have had, others raved about the mac and cheese. They have done a lot with the outdoor space. wish I had read about the cornbread ahead of time!

The pulled bbq sandwich I ordered was good. The macaroni & cheese side was less than desirable. It was dried out and not good at all. Should'nt have been served. Also didn't understand why brisket wasn't available on Saturday 9/21/24 at 2pm. I understand it's Leadville and doesn't have a large crowd draw but it really limits the potential this location of Moe's good be. I've been to Moe's in Denver and never been disappointed. I'm from Alabama and know what a good bbq meal should be. I left with my family less than impressed on my first visit to your Leadville location. Also your bbq pit operator was cursing very loudly while having a conversation with another worker out in the picnic table around young kids. This location needs more managerial attention.

I love Moe's original barbecue in Leadville, Colorado. I love to just pop in there and grab some stuff to go on my way home from work or to take friends out to lunch. It's a great place with friendly people and the food is absolutely amazing.

Moe's is a block off the main drag and uphill, but we'll worth it. It's eclectic to say the least as it is not contained within a building. You leave streetside into a gravel lot filled with picnic tables shaded by umbrellas and order at an outbuilding where the sides are cooked and meals plated. There is a small air conditioned self contained room that no one was using because you can't see the 14,000 ft. High peaks if you did. This ambiance. was perfect for what followed.Phillip, the pit boss himself, took our orders and guided us through the comprehensive menu, specials, and unique all homemade sides. He was most welcoming and made friends of us in the first minute. I ordered 6 BBQ ribs with sides of corn-n-yams and banana pudding for desert. My wife ordered the pulled pork sandwich "Alabama -style" with sides of BBQ beams and Mac-n-cheese. When in Colorado, you order Coors- one light and one banquet.All pork was moist and basted to perfection. Tables are well-equipped with paper towels so dive in. Everything was unique and scoured from each container with crisp corn bread for the ribs and bun remnants from the sandwich.
