The Mo’s Smokehouse BBQ Menu has been a staple of California barbecue culture since the late 1980s, when founder Mo Cason opened the first Mo’s Smokehouse BBQ in San Luis Obispo, CA. What began as a small, family-run smokehouse soon became a beloved local gathering spot, famous for its hickory-smoked ribs, tangy sauces, and authentic Southern hospitality. As time goes by, Mo’s expanded across the Central Coast, earning rave reviews from travelers searching for “best BBQ in San Luis Obispo” and “California BBQ near me.”
The menu today reflects decades of smokehouse tradition—featuring slow-smoked brisket, juicy tri-tip, pulled pork sandwiches, and the fan-favorite Memphis-style ribs.
But regulars know about a little secret: a Mo’s secret menu that offers exclusive off-menu combos and extra saucy “Mo-style” ribs for true BBQ lovers.
Even with all the flavorful additions, Mo’s original hickory-smoked baby back ribs remain the signature favorite—a timeless classic that keeps fans coming back for that unforgettable smokehouse taste.
