Devil Moon BBQ (Nola CBD)

You must have eaten in back. The front is counter service and comes out quick

I’ve been 3x

1st time I ordered 2 sides and neither came out correct. Brisket & sausage were ok

2nd time also underwhelming

Last week I went & got the beef cheek sandwich and it was prob the best single piece of smoked meat I ever had in New Orleans


Don’t love the drink situation. In fact it’s a flat out scam and not sure I’ll go back much because of it

Seat is also very uncomfortable and poorly set up in front

OP, you took the words right out of my mouth

Told the wife I wanted to try Saint X/Devil Moon for Father’s Day. I ordered the 3 meat combo and selected the spare ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Sides were dirty rice and Mac. I brought the sides home because I just wanted to eat the meat. Quality and taste were excellent. Pulled pork was some of the best I’ve had.

We ordered drinks at the onset and hadn’t received them by the time our food came (15-20 minutes later). Saw our “waiter” and said to just cancel the drinks. He shrugged it off. To the restaurant’s credit, he came by with the drinks later because the bar “had already made them” but still had removed from bill. Service was lackluster. They need to get that in check prior to football season or it’ll be a rough go.

Brewery side is awesome and part of the menu is from the BBQ side.

No service issue.

This is a true high end brewpup. The peeps that put this together are the conglomerate that owns Blue Jacket brewery and ChurckKey in Washington DC

There are experiences above that disprove this.

Lol ok

I am not sure why you don’t understand this, the BBQ place they are talking about is separate from the brewery. OP is speaking about Devil Moon.

Trout, chime in you were there yesterday. Issues?

Service was a tad slow but I slam beers faster than Tacky can come up with troll posts. Food hit the table in a timely manner and everything was great.

I went for Father's Day as well. Ate at the Devil's Moon, counter side. It sounds like we were there earlier than the other posters above, as we had no service issues. The brewery side was not even open yet (we came about 11:30am) but the Devil's Moon waitress went over there and got our draft beers for us.

I had the turkey and brisket, with pork&beans and collard greens sides. The meat was tender but did not have any smoke taste, or much taste at all really. You had to add sauce for taste. The sides were excellent.

After eating we went over to the brewery side and sat at the bar and tried some more of the beers. By that time, it was getting pretty crowded and they only had one bartender working. So I can see why they had issues filling drink orders timely. The beer was excellent though. I especially liked the Gator Boots IPA. My wife loved the sours. They only had to go cans for sale for about 5 of the beers. I brought home a few IPAs but my wife was disappointed they had no cans of the sours and did not have crowlers available. The bartender said something about "corporate" has to send them the beer labels.

Overall, it's a nice place. I agree the brewery is high end. It has the look more of a fancy bar that happens to make its own beer. They'll need to hire more bartenders for Saints games. We were told the brewery side will soon get an expanded food menu that will not be limited to the Devil's Moon bbq.
