Moe’s Southwest Grill

The aesthetic is very dated, but not at all in a charming way. You get the feeling that a lot of really sweaty/​greasy people have sat in the booths over the years, and it smells as such. The music is equally gross, 80s Rock which nobody’s ever heard of. The food is very average. Not anywhere near good enough to redeem the horrible décor. On top of all this I paid for a soda and their machine was literally out of every single drink. Just don’t go.

This Moe’s goes with the crew. It’s usually college students so they come and go. Sometimes the burritos are great. Sometimes they aren’t.
I have logged 100 visits to this location and it’s never the same. It also seems like the price is different each time as well.
It’s clean and the staff is mostly nice, but it’s usually so crowded that the service isn’t always great.
I’m also not sure why they can’t warm my burrito on the grill when they do warm the stacks as part of its preparation.
Still, I’m #TeamMoes till I D.I.E.

I love Moe’s, and I am a creature of habit. I always order an Art or Art, Jr. I was caught off guard here when I was asked what I wanted on it, responded «everything» and was met with a blank stare. The young lady said, «well. Some HHJ ga cost more than others, so you might want to spec

Aside from the super cool coke machine with over 100 different flavor mixes, the food is hit or miss. I’ve been here 3 times and each time (since sept) has gotten worse. My last visit my burrito was served cold and was wrapped without care leaving me to a mess of cold… stuff. At least my automated handcrafted beverage was delicious! I think I’ll hit up chipotle next time instead.

I tried Moe’s only once. This was about a year ago so it is possible that things might have changed. All I can say is Thank God Auburn is getting a Chipotle. It was overall a disgusting experience and I never went back. CANNOT wait for Chipotle to open!

Wait staff was courteous and friendly.
Restaurant was clean and comfortable.
Food was average at best.

been to a few moe’s from atlanta, montgomery, and here. i was not impressed. i had a steak burrito and the steak was cold. how can they mess up a burrito? and they don’t put much steak on the burrito either. it’s no chipotle. i’ve been to chipotle little over 10 years ago in los angeles and i fall in love with it and been fan of chiplotle. i also love baja fresh. actually i prefer baja fresh over chipotle. but moe’s in this particular location is not good… it’s like this taquerlia type fast food joint is falling behind the pack.

I came here obviously because I’m not from the south and this place had an uncanny resemblance to Chipotle so I had to try it. It also helped that a bunch of students in my class praised Moe’s as being the ‘better’ Chipotle. Unfortunately, that’s not what I got when I came here.
The service was really annoying. No one seemed to understand what I said. I wanted the buffalo chicken jr. burrito. I said that at least 4 or 5 times and that I wanted 2 of them. They ended up giving me the homewrecker and the manager came up to me and said he had heard me say homewrecker. I don’t know how you get buffalo chicken from homewrecker. I didn’t even know that was on the menu.
The food was lukewarm and cold in some parts of the burrito. Chipotle’s ingredients tasted much fresher. The place wasn’t that clean either.

It is a good place! But, the service quality changes according to the crew working at moment. I had have good burritos and bad ones, over there!
Clean place, fast service!

Don’t get me wrong Moe’s is great. As good as any Moe’s anywhere. But it saddens me that this is the best Mexican place in Auburn.

If you are looking for a place to get a burrito in town, I guess you can go to Moe’s, but you might as well cut your tongue out and drink a few cups of salt water immediately afterward.
I’m not saying that Moe’s is bad, but if you are looking for a burrito, don’t go here. Go to Moe’s if you are looking for a quick bite to eat that’s better than most everything else right around there. You could go to Mellow Mushroom just down the road, but it’s going to take at least 30 minutes longer just to get your food. Not including eating it. And, the food isn’t any better. Moe’s is a fast food chain, but at least they know if and don’t act like they aren’t. Mellow Mushroom is also a chain, but they act like each place is its own invention. Go to Moe’s if you are looking for something quick to eat with little hassle and fuss.

I’ve never really cared too much for Moe’s, but yet I’ve been strangely addicted to it. I like that they offer several vegetarian choices, (including pretty darn good marinated tofu!), but the quality of the food is always somewhat questionable to me. The rice in particular is always other undercooked or just dried out from sitting in the hot serving pan for hours. I don’t know what the exact problem is, I just know that the rice is always hard and really chewy.
At this particular Moe’s location, there also seem to be some service issues. I’ve had my burrito torn several times, and they don’t always offer to fix a new one for you. Sometimes the burrito is shaped more like a foot long hot dog in a bun than a burrito… but I guess, in the grand scheme of things, who cares if your burrito is long and skinny? It still has the same chewy-​rice, sort-​of-​Mexican flavor.
I went through a real Moe’s phase for awhile where I craved it from time to time. I’m out of it now, but it’s probably not going to be too long before I want to go back and have some college kids yell «Welcome to Moe’s!» at me!
