On a recent drop into Moe’s in Springfield, I was pleasantly surprised with the Cowboy Moe Rib Eye steak. It came perfectly cooked and smothered in “tobacco onions,” which are crispy fried unbreaded onion rings. The steak was finished with garlic butter Worchester sauce. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies, it was an awesome surprise! I should have known to expect great things by the Marker of all good restaurants…
The super fresh salad that started our meal. Fresh lettuce and veggies most often equals a caring, detail-oriented kitchen; it does here. Try the honey mustard dressing – delightful.
On a second trip to test the consistency, I was even more impressed. Scampi Pomodoro started with an excellent Caesar salad, but the entrée blew me away! Twelve large shrimp topped a 12” round bowl of penne pasta, diced tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic in creamy lemon butter sauce. Absolutely wonderful and exceptional. You must try this if you like Scampi, and only $13.99; a steal!
My wife ordered a full rack of baby back BBQ ribs, slow roasted and lathered with a rich, thick homemade BBQ sauce. She couldn’t believe how much meat was on these tender little beauties. They rival Famous Dave’s, which are spare ribs, as the possible best ribs in Delaware County. If you like baby backs, you need to come try these. Our waiter, Theresa Quinn, was pleasant and very attentive and made our whole experience just plain old enjoyable.
I found out later that owners Butch Eby (Jocelyn’s Media) and Chris Hagner (formerly of Rib-it) had landed a Delco superstar to head their kitchen! Long time resident and head chef Bart Buonadonna is managing the kitchen, and he is a pro (formerly of Springfield Country Club, Lagoon, Septembers Place, Scampi’s)! The longer he is at Moe’s, the longer the lines will get. Kudos and thanks to all.
So, expect this…
Professional service and food preparation, the Shrimp Scampi is the steal of the county, an awesome signature dish. The tops in BBQ baby back Ribs and steaks so good you may start driving past Outback. Nachos Grande is out of sight.
You can even get Homer’s Duff beer. Moe’s is a great experience, spotless restaurant and restrooms, too.
Go there for ribs, shrimp scampi, awesome nachos, well-stacked Ruben’s and corned beef specials, and overall good times.
A life-size set of the Simpsons on their couch welcome kids to the dining room.
