Mo-Betta BBQ Bids Farewell After 17 Years
After 17 years of serving up mouth-watering barbecue, Mo-Betta BBQ, a cherished food truck in Tallahassee, has unexpectedly closed its doors. This beloved establishment, often located in a gas station parking lot on Apalachee Parkway, has been a staple in the local food scene, epitomizing the unique twist Florida puts on southern barbecue.
A Legacy of Homemade Excellence
Mo-Betta BBQ carved out a reputation for its homemade delicacies. WTXL highlighted the care and passion that went into each dish, from the dry rub to the barbecue sauce. Nicole Harris, the owner, was often quoted saying, “It’s made with love and we won’t disappoint.” This dedication to quality was reflected in the high ratings from customers, who consistently gave Mo-Betta BBQ a 4.3 out of 5 stars. The brisket, in particular, was a crowd favorite, often praised for its exceptional flavor and tenderness.
Community Impact and Customer Experiences
Patrons of Mo-Betta BBQ, like Rich, shared glowing reviews. Rich’s experience, craving a taste of Midwest pulled pork, was met with delight at Mo-Betta’s unique “chopped” pork, lauding it as “tender and flavorful” and praising the homemade sauce. The Tallahassee Democrat recognized the eatery as “beloved” and “iconic,” a testament to its impact on the local community.
