Moe's Original Bbq Auburn

Went there for lunch. 1 st time there. It's a little cozy place with tv's on the wall. Was seated immediately. They have a pretty extensive menu. I ordered my dish hot. But I guess I should have ordered extra hot. The spring rolls were fantastic ? Although a little pricey, the food was good. Will go back again.Food: 4/5

In this area, this is number one! In NYC you might be able to find a comparable quality but for here, you will never find this! Trust me! I know!

Umami muddies the waters a bit by calling what they do Pacific rim cuisine, which is an attempt to reconcile a pan asian menu that would seem, under other circumstances, inauthentic to a specific region. It is simultaneously Korean, Japanese, Thai, and whatever else it needs to be. Under different circumstances that would raise alarm bells in my head, that this is maybe some rough butchering of multiple ethnic regions in an Alabama backwater. But the good news is that the atmosphere is pleasant, the food is tasty and well presented, and there is an appreciation of many ingredients that is thoughtful and knowledgeable. The takoyaki, for instance, is a really fun textural experience, covered in what appears to be a remoulade and a dusting of bonito flakes. The end result is tangy and savory and rich, giving you a hint of the ocean even as you take a bite of what is, by other appearances, something akin to a hushpuppy. This trend of thoughtful compromises seems to hold true across the menu, where nothing is precisely what you 'd at a restaurant catered to a single region 's cuisine, but none of it is simply tossed out as an afterthought. I do wish that the sushi menu had more traditional fare on it you can get a number of fancier rolls that feature cream cheese and frying and all that sort of new fangled American trappings, but no salmon. And the only tuna roll offered is a spicy tuna. But it 's still possible to get simple, clean flavors from it, even if it does not have all the offerings from a traditional sushi bar. TVs on the wall seem dedicated to a whole host of different programming. One of them seems to constantly be showing pets, another niche sporting events like strongman competitions, and another seems to mostly be kpop videos. So if you absolutely have to watch football, you may have to go to Moe 's a few doors down. For everyone else: there 's a lot to like here.

The pulled pork was outstanding, with an excellent smoky flavor. The chicken was also delicious—not dry at all—and perfectly smoked. I will definitely return. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. Food: 5/5

I called tonight to place a takeout order, and I have to say, the girl who answered the phone was less than friendly. She informed me that my food would be ready in about 15 minutes, so I left my house right at that mark. Unfortunately, the same girl was rude when I went to pay. To make matters worse, my food ended up taking 48 minutes to be ready. Additionally, I found their prices to be quite high. The shrimp platter consisted of only five tiny shrimp, and they charged $13 for it. This was my first visit; while the wings were tasty, the poor service and the scant shrimp on what was supposed to be an adult platter will likely deter me from returning in the future.
