Moose Creek Barbeque

"I placed an online order for a 6:30 pickup. I ended up having a later appointment and I couldn’t get there until 7:10. Even though they closed at 7, they stayed open so I can grab my order. I got my food home and even though it sat for quite a while, it was still warm and quite delicious. I highly recommend the BBQ sundae. It has mashed potatoes, beans, coleslaw, and your choice of meat. It was so good and very filling."

"OH MY GOSH, MOOSE CREEK HAS GREAT BARBECUE!!! This place is located in the smokey point-Arlington area. The second you walk in, you are overwhelmed by the delectable aroma of finely crafted barbecue meats issuing forth from the large smoker rotisserie-like ovens. Moose Creek Barbecue is a small quirky place decorated with history of the area and, of course, a giant moose head with a big rack mounted on a back wall by the bathrooms. The menu is written in chalk on a huge chalkboard over the front counter. You can choose between pulled pork, chicken, brisket, ribs, or sausage. They have sides like cole slaw, potato salad, beans, etc. The best side in my opinion are the ranch beans with a good blend of beans, meat and spices. But the good times don't stop there; they also have tasty sauces with the main sauce having a sweet darkish flavor and smell. They have a couple of other sauces like their hot bbq sauce that has a nice heat that builds. If you're in the area, you need to stop buy for dine in or take-out. They sell each day until they run out of meats, which does happen. The counter staff and kitchen guys are very friendly and don't mind questions about anything they make and serve. And it's always fun to watch the meats revolving around the smoker when the tender opens the smoker doors to remove meat to a waiting cart with smoke and aroma billowing outward. Say hi to the moose for me!"

"What an adorably cute and rustic looking BBQ spot! ** Full disclosure: My husband and I have driven past this restaurant for almost 6 years, always on our way to Starbucks which is next door. The smells have always been amazing and we kept telling ourselves that one day soon, we'll check them out. He's from Houston born and raised, so takes his BBQ very seriously. He's found 1 spot in Seattle that has authentic BBQ (if you know Jake's, then you know) and has been wanting to try this place since it's in our backyard. Fast forward to yesterday. We were debating on what to eat for dinner and I mentioned a place across the street from Moose Creek... but then decided as I was almost there that I didn't want it after all. Finally, for whatever reason, it clicked that Moose Creek was across the way and we had yet to try it. So I finally stopped in and so glad that I did. Service was amazing. Questions were answered. Food came out fast and even though I was 20 mins from home, the sandwiches we bought held up wonderfully. I didn't know I liked ranch beans until I tried them. Wow! And the potato salad.... Drooooool worthy!! Big chunks of egg... just super yummy. We had a brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. The meat was so flavorful and the BBQ sauce was tangy and sweet. My hubs said it was top notch... but to be fair, he didn't know if that's because it's been so long since he's had BBQ or if it truly was THAT good. We will definitely go again, that's for sure. And maybe I'll edit this review to include thoughts on trip 2 and if it's truly worthy of a Texan. But in the meantime, we'll be kicking ourselves for not popping in sooner!"

"Two of us had dinner. The staff was really nice. Bad news was they were sold out of brisket. I got ribs and my friend got pulled pork. Food came out in a reasonable time there was plenty of seating. The interior is a little sparse but the do have a stuffed moose head. My ribs while nice and tender were a little too dry which made the exterior tough. Flavor was good. My friends pulled pork was a generous portion and topped with a bbq sauce. I prefer a vinegar based sauce on my pulled pork but you may like the tomato based so worth asking. Sides were corn bread and beans which were fine. The store two wood and gas ovens inside which are fun to see."

"First time here, and we loved it! We both had the brisket. It was so tender and flavorful. It doesn't even need the sauce. We're not in the area but one weekend a year. We'll look forward to coming back next time!"
