Moe’s Original Bar B Que to Add 4th Birmingham Location in Trussville, AL

 Adding to three Birmingham locations, Moe’s Original Bar B Que will bring it’s Alabama-style BBQ experience to 163 Main Street in downtown Trussville in early March. Opening for lunch and dinner from 11am daily, the award-winning fast casual restaurant features award-winning Alabama-style pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken smoked over hardwood as well as Southern favorites such as fried catfish and a shrimp sandwich plus several traditional special sides and desserts made fresh daily. In addition to the 70 person rustic dining room with four HDTVs and Sono sound system, the laid back restaurant will also offer sidewalk seating, drive thru, large party takeout orders and full service catering for parties and events.

“We’re excited to open a location in Trussville as it is such a huge community that continues to grow,” said Moe’s Original Bar B Que co-owner Eric Witherington. “We have been trying to get there for years to open our BBQ concept, but just couldn’t find right spot until now.”

While brothers Kevin and Eric Witherington were partners at the Lakeview Oyster House, they were ready for a new challenge. When Kevin was on vacation in Vail, he spent some time with Alabama natives and founding partners of Moe’s Original Bar B Que, Mike Fernandez, Jeff Kennedy and Ben Gilbert while his brother Eric vacationed in Orange Beach where he also discovered the Southern soul food revival. After experiencing the thriving Alabama-style BBQ business, both saw an opportunity. The brothers opened their first Moe’s Original Bar B Que location in Vestavia where they both lived with their wives and three kids each. In addition to that one and the new Trussville restaurant, they also have BBQ spots in Hoover and Lakeview. With additional fast casual eateries in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Maine and North Carolina, there are 21 Moe’s Original Bar B Que today.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que To Expand into Mobile, Alabama with New Restaurant and Live Music Venue

Moe’s Original Bar B Que is pleased to announce its opening in early January at 701 Spring Hill Avenue in downtown Mobile. Located on the main Mardi Gras parade route, this 7400 square foot spot in the upper part of Dauphin will offer a hot nightlife scene. While the popular fast casual restaurant and catering company will feature award-winning cuisine, it will also be an entertainment venue that will showcase live music from larger, well-known musical acts as well as host events including birthday parties, reunions, corporate meetings, wedding parties, and more.

“When we saw this enormous space, it just screamed Moe’s Original,” said owner Mark White. “I feel we have captured my ultimate vision of expanding our concept by creating a cool entertainment destination that nicely complements our casual, family-friendly dining environment.”

Located in an old Lincoln car dealership, the art deco building will be found by a large neon Moe’s Original Bar B Que arrow sign. The totally renovated interior keeps with the rustic look of Moe’s Original Bar B Que’s brand with wooden beams across the ceiling, timber accents and exposed brick walls. The interior space is divided into two parts with the main dining area in the front with a large, full premium bar in the center surrounded by bar stools and multiple large flat screen TVs. The bars as well as the music stage were re-purposed out of the lanes from the old Florida Bowl. Behind the bar is a wall with two large doors and exposed windows across the high ceilings that infuse the space with light to create an al fresco feel when opened up into the larger rear space. The back left houses the kitchen while the stage is located in the right corner with an additional bar as this area will be primarily used for live music events and private parties.

Founded in Vail in 2001, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has 20 other locations in AL, CO, GA, ME and NC. The popular fast casual restaurant features award-winning Alabama-style pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken smoked over hardwood served with two unique sauces as well as southern favorites such as fried catfish and shrimp sandwiches. Opening for lunch and dinner from 11am daily, the new restaurant will also offer six traditional special sides and desserts made fresh daily. Large party takeout orders and full service catering for events will also be available.
