Went for happy hour last Sunday and the food, drinks and service were amazing! I’ve been to Moe’s a few times over the last couple years and it never disappoints! Their Happy Hour menu is such a great deal! Had the steak skewers, shrimp cocktail, burger & wedge salad (2 people) and it was more than enough food! Got dessert to go and it was delicious later.. husband was content with his Old Fashioned.. I was happy with my espresso martini and glass of wine :) yum
