Moe's BBQ Recipe Files



Moe's BBQ shared two of their famous recipes with us. They tell me that their recipes are passed down from generations, from mothers, grandmothers, nannies, housekeepers, and more fabulous cooks in the family. Each Moe's establishment locally can add their own recipes to the menu, too!


Cucumber Salad
Moe's Broccoli Salad


Cucumber Salad

6-8 cucumbers
1/2 red onion - sliced thin
1 1/2 to 2 cups of white vinegar
1/2 cup of salad oil (which is a splash)
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Optional sliced tomatoes

Prep cucumbers by pealing stripes onto them and slice 1/4 inch thick
Slice red onions 1/8 thin
Combine vinegar, sugar, oil, salt and pepper over cucumbers and onions
Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours

Moe's Broccoli Salad

8 cups trimmed broccoli florets
8 oz. of diced bacon (about ten slices)
1 cup of raisins (golden if available)
3/4 cup red onion (diced small)
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sugar
1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt

Brown the bacon until crispy. Combine the first four ingredients including the bacon grease in Tupperware or a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the last four ingredients and whisk until smooth. Making sure the sugar has dissolved completely, pour over the first four ingredients and cover. Store in the refrigerator and be sure to stir every couple of hours. (If you can wait overnight, the flavors will come together better.)
