Mojoe's Burger Joint
What People Are Saying About Mojoe's Burger Joint

In Short – Pressed tin ceiling, wooden tables and light industrial signage are the backdrop for a post-college crowd hanging out. American bar food featuring the usual suspects: wings, jalapeno poppers, hot dogs and fries. Burgers are the menu mainstay with a variety of toppings available. The veggie burger is the standard issue fried patty. Surprisingly, a good bet is MoJoe's house salad with grilled chicken, featuring crisp veggies and homemade ranch dressing.

Excellent atmosphere.
by dcguy
I am new to Raleigh from the DC area and got lucky on my first trip to Glenwood Street. I parked my car at the top of the hill and was going to walk down and see what I could find, but I heard the sweet sounds of Elliot Smith coming from the cozy little burger joint on the corner. I went in to investigate and discovered $1.50 PBR's! I ate some Spicy wings (not very spicy, but very good). Then after a while I had the build your own Mo burger with PepperJack cheese. It was not the best burger I have ever had, but it was delicious and the price was right. Onion rings were good too. I stayed for two hours (and 5 more beers) just to see what the next song would be on the bartender's ipod! Neil Young, Dead Milkmen, Gorillaz, Hank Williams, I think there was even a Bobby McFerrin song. I think I've found my Sunday night hang out!! Well played Mojo's, well played indeed.
- Pros: Music, Food, Service Great
- Cons: Don't change a thing.

Horrible Management
by aethereal
My wife went to have a good hamburger to take home. We were sitting at a table, the restaurant was not crowded, but the assist. manager came and asked us to stand while our order was prepared because another couple wanted our table. We declined and left. We will never go there again!!
- Cons: Rude and not respectful of all customers.

WORST burger in town.
by elixirD
Wow was I duped. Though mellow and a fun atmosphere for the most part, sadly the burgers were sub-par to be kind. One reviewer raved about the jalepeno burger, which I tried on that recommendation, must have gotten lucky or you've never had a decent burger before. Mine was spongy, fatty, and seemed like one of those cheapo-pre-fab slabs you get in packets at Wal-Mart. The bun was flat and it tasted like the whole thing had been sitting under a heat lamp for half the day. I'd never go back, and once again Raleigh has let me down with seemingly high reviews for what turns out to be GARBAGE food I wouldn't feed my dog.
- Pros: Fun, mellow atmosphere and good beer
- Cons: If you do ONE thing, do it marginally right!
