Our Texas-Style BBQ
At Moo Moo, we take BBQ seriously.
Our pitmasters prepare our BBQ onsite in traditional offset smokers, using carefully selected woods including oak, pōhutukawa, mānuka and kānuka to create our distinctive smoke profile.
We carefully manage the fire, temperature and cooking time to produce tender, flavourful meat with the deep natural character of real wood smoke.
Our seasonings combine carefully selected herbs and spices sourced from around the world, while locally baked buns complete many of our BBQ offerings.
Our approach is simple:
Quality meat. Real smoke. Fire. Time.
Smoked Wagyu Brisket & BBQ Meats
Our BBQ menu includes smoked Wagyu brisket, beef short ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, lamb, smoked chicken and handmade jalapeño-cheddar pork sausages.
We use the traditional low-and-slow BBQ method, giving each cut the time it needs to develop its flavour, tenderness and texture.
Our smoked brisket is one of the signature dishes at Moo Moo, prepared over many hours in our offset smoker before being rested and sliced.
