Moe’s Cafe

Great place for Grilled sandwiches, quesadillas, criss cut or sweet potatoe fries, etc etc... options are endless, these guys can make anything...

Extra meat, avacado, bacon, pinapple, bellpeppers, etc - NO EXTRA CHARGE on any item!

But here is the true best value secret - make sure you order the grilled veggie, grilled cheese, or hot dog... these only cost $3 bucks and come with a side salad.... thing is, the side salad is supposed to only be up to 0.5 lbs, but what they dont tell you is that they will let it slide all the way up to 0.9!

this means if you are an accurate weigher, you can pay $3 for a grilled veggie, grilled cheese, or bratworst/hotdog sandwich with the works and get nearly a whole pound of salad for only $3 from their delicious salad bar!

salad bar normally charges $6 a pound!

you do the math... this is the healthy budget meal of the the day, $15-16 a week and you can eat like a king here every day

BAM

Moe's used to be open late (until around 8pm), but now the hours are a bit wonky.  They usually close around 2:30p M-F but stay open late on random days. Could never really figure it out.

The sandwiches here are a good deal because you can put anything they have in it without extra charge.  My usual is the italian sandwich with sprouts, chipotle aioli, havarti cheese, avocado, and get it toasted.  So good. It's a pretty loaded sandwich so it lasts me about 2 meals.

Also the cooks will make you anything they have ingredients for. I've ordered carne asada fries, grilled chicken and veggies, grilled cheese, and I'm sure much more.

I've also heard that they make chiliquiles on Fridays with the bombest mole sauce.

You can custom order how your food is prepared.  It's pretty pricey.  You can get a discount by using a FOX Gift Card purchased at checkout.  NOTE: You need to have a drive on to the FOX lot to eat here.  It's not a public restaurant.  It's really a cafe meant for FOX employees and visitors.

They have good coffee and food.  The atmosphere is calm and relaxing.  Try their specials that are usually very good.

I got hungry for lunch on food truck day, I think, and when asked whether I'd like to go to Moe's or do the food trucks- I selected Moe's.  "When in Rome", right?  And one can never tell when they'll be invited back to the lots of Fox.  So, we ventured to Moe's.  It was good.  I got a sandwich made in front of me, and one sandwich fed me two different meals that day.  Nice and big.

We ate outside because the inside felt like a train station eating area, and the outside was heavy, loud metal tables.  That's the only reason for one less star because of the decor.  My cousin, who works at Fox, said it wasn't about the decor but the fact you can have good food and sit by someone like Vince Vaugn.  

Oooooh, I get it.

Still, one star off.  But, if you're on Fox- congrats.  I'd eat here again.

I'm so amused that this place is themed after Moe the Bartender from the Simpson's. Decor inside this place is fantastic -- complete with a neon sign and a full size statute of Moe. Note that the general public can't walk onto the Fox studio lot and dine here...gotta find an employee who can take you in.

There's plenty of seating inside and outside, so you get your pick on days when it's raining or full of sunshine goodness. The chairs outside are heavy so please lift them up when you move them! Otherwise, it's a cringe-worthy sound comparable to the likes of nails on a chalkboard and metal utensils scraping against your teeth. =p

My favorite here to order tends to be the grilled tuna melt with a side of onion rings. I've also come here many a time just for the $1.25 onion rings themselves. Yum. It's relatively quick if you beat the lunch rush and indoor seating includes two TVs--one set at FX and the other at Fox News--to help pass the time.

To make it clear, Moes IS NOT a public  restaurant - you have to be on the lot in order to eat there!

My grill favorite is the tuna melt. The salad bar is great. Tip: If you go near closing (8 pm) and get the special, you will probably get a TON of food!

You really couldn't want anything more from a salad or sandwich than Moe's provides. And it's Simpsons themed. The butchers are crazy talented, and it's super cheap. It's a shame that you can't get here without a badge to the Fox studio lots, but selfishly I would not like it to get too crowded either!

Open until 8 and sometimes good dinner specials. You can still get baked goods and smoothies

I came here a few days ago to visit my cousin who works at Fox Sports. When she said we were meeting for lunch, I assumed we were going outside the area to a restaurant. I was surprised to see that there were several charming cafeterias around the studios.

Moe's is great. The staff is very friendly, there's several choices on the menu, and the cafeteria itself was clean and organized. I ordered the veggie burger and it was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant mainly because of the theme. Who doesn't love the Simpsons?

woohoo!  got to visit my favorite fox employee again @ her work :]  finally got the chance to get a taste of moe's grill.  

i wasn't feeling too hungry so i ended up digging from the salad bar (it's like yogurtland, you pay by weight of your salad, so good luck with packing your greens).  tons of green varieties and dressing.  i suck at making my own salad, but i manage to make decent ones here.  

my friend opted for a sandwich from the deli and she loved every bite of it.  she's treking the vegetarian route so requested a vegetarian sandwich.  i must say, vegetarianism never looked so good!  her sandwich was complete with avocado, sprouts, tomato, lettuce.. and so much more!  

fun place to eat  :]  hope ya'll have friends @ fox!

If you're on the FOX lot, swing by Moe's and grab yourself a philly cheese steak, It's amazing. They're on the large side, so you may feel sleepy afterwards.

Moe's Grill is like the one episode of the Simpsons when Moe tries to expand his business by making it a family friendly place called "Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag"

If you like good food, good fun and a whole lot of crap on the wall then come on down to Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag

At Moe's they serve good ol' fashion cooking deep fried. Now that's Moe-like-it! So bring the whole family... or at the very least the ones that work on the Fox Pico Lot. Just no old people, they're not covered by his insurance.

And remember the guarantee, if he's not smiling when your check comes, the meals on Moe! Come to Uncle Moe's for Lunch fun. it's good good good good, good good good

While you wont see Moe come out with a basket of scolding hot fries on his head, you still can get those same fries and enjoy a really tasty lunch. Perhaps the only thing lacking here was the Flaming Moe. But this is in the new building at the studio lot, so perhaps we don't want to burn it down just yet.

It was a really shitty day. I mean, really bad. I'm talking about Rupert Murdoch kicking your dog type of bad day. And the fine folks at Moe's Grill turned it completely around.

Got up to tell the grill master what I needed and he already knew. I guess that means I come here often enough. Saw that I was a little on the dumps and put in extra bacon and cheese on my burger to kick it up a notch.

Much like a good bartender, they get to know your order and make it quickly in front of your face. I wouldn't call them a friend. More like a well-wisher, in that Moe don't wish you any specific harm.  But they make one hell of a great burger that can cheer you up. How could you not be happy eating at an Establishment that has sophisticated drawings of the Moe's Tavern Bar regulars on the wall.

Much like Moe's Tavern, you'll go in there with your troubles and by the end of lunch, they'll be floating away with a filled stomach. Besides that, the Grill is located within viewing distance of the New York outdoor sound stage. So you can enjoy your lunch while you look down to a typical New York street block.

1) Vanessa is a rock star. She helped me with my order, everything was a 100% correct and she was just fantastic. I'll call her boss on Monday and let her/him know as well.

The only order that's been 100% correct is the one that Vanessa handled, so that's why there are 4 stars instead of 5, but the prices are AH-MAZING, so really, it would be 4.5 stars if that was possible. I had a salad that cost a whopping $1.22.

I tried in vain to obtain a phone number yesterday to inquire about their hours of operation which would have saved me the trouble of driving there only to find out it was NOT open to the public.  If a 'business' is NOT accessible to the general public, it doesn't deserve to be on yelp in my opinion.  The good thing is that the security guard was polite and helpful in re-directing us to restaurants down the road although we ended up yelping PERSIAN food which I will review in a bit.

Moe's, always has a Variety of offerings, from sandwiches to salads to burgers.  They also have a coffee bar that serves up espresso drinks as well as coffee.  Nothing to fancy, just good regular food.

Since I work on the Fox lot, I tend to eat at Moe's almost daily.  Don't worry...it's not a bad thing!

Moe's has some pretty decent food at a very cheap price.  The thing I like most, is the variety of choices...you can opt for a delicious sandwich (made to order), the salad bar, or hit up the grill and get your burger or quesadilla on.  There's also a Starbucks and a soft-serve ice cream station there!

I consider Moe's one of the most convenient lunch choices around.  Hell, it saves me at least 30 minutes daily of travel since leaving the lot is quite a timely adventure.

Oh Moe's, as a long time fan of the Simpsons I wasn't sure the namesake eatery would rank as high in food points as comedy points. Then again, there are few times where I've been so happy to be wrong. I don't work at Fox, but have done a lot of freelance work there and have some pals on the payroll too. So many a breakfast, lunch or early dinner have been enjoyed there.

I love that when you walk in the back and even slightly veer to the right you will hear a thick Mexican accent screaming, "what kind of bread?". I also love how off-putting it is to those who weren't expecting it. The cold sandwiches there come stacked high with meat and cheese and that's usually the shorter line too. So that's usually where you'll find me.

However, there are plenty of days where I want something hot off the grill. Quality and freshness are steady benefits there, not to mention you can get anything you want in terms of extras.

My favorite meal at Moe's is sadly the least frequently had; breakfast! Now, prices here are a throwback to cafeteria lunches before I was even in high school. On average, a sandwich w/fries, a salad and a drink all round out to $5.75 (and you thought Rupert was all greed). Breakfast is probably more generous with the servings, significantly cheaper and generally a breeze to get. The omelets are huge and so tasty and come with amazing hash browns. The breakfast burrito is another king-sized treat that I love to eat and you can always make it an adventure my changing out the ingredients. Pancakes are a slight bit better than the french toast if you're ever on the fence.

Moe's is top notch especially considering it caters to a largely captive audience who would not doubt tolerate higher prices, small portions and crappy service over getting to their car and driving off the lot. One thing that always makes me curious when I go there is how they make those cups out of corn.

I admit that I get star struck and it is always fun to eat on the FOX lot because you never know who you are going to see.  Eating on the lot is always one of the highlights of my visit to  FOX.  Moe's Grill is a fun place to hang out.  Great for people watching!  Good food too.  I had the salad bar today and it was as good as any salad bar I've been too.  What really impressed me besides the food and the atmosphere is that everyone there from the help to the customers were extremely friendly.
