I LOVE the ambiance. Great vintage decor and open feel. Easy order yourself with great help from friendly staff. I had the brisket plate with a bit of tri-tip(little extra cost). I really liked that the charred fat of the brisket was included and had that good smoky flavor, but it was bit too chopped than what I prefer. I liked sliced, but everyone has their own style of BBQ. Tri-tip was okay. Cole slaw and meats could use a bit more seasoning. I had to add salt. Also, I liked the sweet cornbread muffin thingy with that good tasting butter. Overall, good BBQ.

Very friendly and fast service. A patio in the back with lots of shade. The ribs were very good, the pulled pork was mushy in some bites, and too tough to chew in others, and the smoke flavor that was so delicious on the ribs did not come through at all on the pulled pork. The brisket had good texture, but very little smoke ring or flavor. The sides were standard fair. Price was OK, $9.95 for the lunch special.

Huge portion sizes and friendly service. Got the simpler platter to share with my wife and it was more than enough for both of us to eat our fill. would definitely recommend the potato salad over the coleslaw and the beans are delicious. Ribs aren’t quite fall off the bone, but very good. Pulled pork was the best part and the chicken was delicious as well. Very nice outdoor patio where you get privacy and a nice surrounding to eat your food.

Ordered meals togo through door dash. Beware, the half chicken had numerous small bone shards that cut into my kids gums. Called not to complain but to make them aware whoever is cutting the chicken to be careful not to leave small sharp bone pieces in the meat. The young lady who answered the call didn’t care very much.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. This was seriously the worst barbecue I have EVER had. I had a tri-tip sandwich, I had to deconstruct it and try and eat it piece by piece, but it was so chewy and hard that I couldn’t finish. The frozen fries tasted just like they were old and had freezer burn. The barbecue sauce taste like something that I can get from Costco… The restaurant is also probably one of the nastiest places I’ve been in. The floors are disgusting. There’s old food in the corners, and if you look into their kitchen area it’s absolutely disgusting… I’m shocked that the city hasn’t shut them down.

Ribs were great, pulled pork was juicy and the dinner deal plate was enough for my daughter and I. Staff was real nice, I will be back when I’m visiting during the year.

The best barbecue place in CHICO hands-down. Their try tip salad so good and it’s big enough for two people to share!

The front and the inside of Smokin’ Mo’s BBQ are very decorative and inviting. The eatery is perfectly located in downtown area, and there is free 36 minutes parking everywhere. But the food isn’t what it’s hyped up to be. My friend were not impressed with what we ordered. My tri-tip was dry and leathery to chew on, and my friend’s bbq ribs special were sweet but lacked hickory flavor and texture. And they only offer pork, there are no beef ribs which I wanted to have.

It was always real good. The last time we are there my brisket meat was very hard to find hidden underneath all the barbecue sauce. We thought we would try them again hoping it was just a mistake and not a change in quality. So we head on down from Magalia. We park around the corner and walk up to the place to find a note on the door stating they’re closed due to prior commitments and lack of help. Well…now I don’t know if we’ll waste our time trying to come back. Now besides the food being questionable you don’t know if they will be open or not. This seems to have turned in to a crapshoot at best.
