MO's Smokehouse BBQ: Reviews & Ratings
Bbq is delicious! I got the BBQ Pork Ribs with bbq beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and large cornbread muffin. Each rib had a different delicious sauce. I took extra coleslaw home to go with leftovers. They serve beer but not wine.
You know this place is legit when the flow of patrons is always coming and leaving. I don't eat pork, but their half rack BBQ was amazing! It was cooked well, slid off the bones and their BBQ sauce was finger lickin' good! It also came with fries and a corn bread muffin. I would recommend this to all as there as some ry of tables to sit and they have the line formed against the wall. Bathroom is also nice and well kept. Stop by when you are in the area!
We've been coming to this place for over a decade, I find their food quite tasty and consistent. We do normally get the pulled pork sandwiches, but sometimes I'll adventure out into ribs, etc.. Service good ambience is low key and very open. We appreciate the variety of barbecue sauces at their self serve bar. Will certainly continue to patronize this BBQ icon of Pismo. Only negative is that they stopped caring the sweet potato pie.
Kinda cramp inside, the food was ok. The potatoes salad str8 flavor. Nice. Corn bread muffin, cold, dry not moist. Fast friendly service tho. not enough space for high chairs or strollers .
Mo's does not disappoint. I lived in Texas for a few years, so I know what BBQ should taste like. In a town full of seafood and mexican offerings (no hate on either of those) it's surprising to find such great BBQ. We came here years ago and coming back found it's still as good as ever. Pulled pork, tri-tip and ribs are the stars in my opinion. Very good house made sauces highlight southern and east coast traditional flavors. The beans and fries are great too. Everything is priced fairly for the quality they offer. Atmosphere is standard smoke shack vibes.
My cousin sandwich was so much better than my shredded pork. This place is a definite must if you like BBQ. The sauce is good and the meat is good. Good size portions! It's a walk up counter and you order and pay and the staff brings your food to the table. Lots of seating! Great artwork! One of my favorites for sure.
