Everything To Know About Moe’s Original BBQ’s Alabama-Style

Serving award-winning Alabama-style BBQ since 1988, Moe’s Original BBQ has set out to educate its customers about what makes Alabama-Style BBQ stand out from other regions. In Alabama, pork is the star of the show and Moe’s Original focuses on the shoulder, also known as the Boston butt, as well as ribs prepared St. Louis style that are well trimmed, competition cut and easy to eat. Its mouthwatering blend of spices is meticulously rubbed on the meat to give it a char and enhance the flavors while cooking. Moe’s slow-smokes its meat in a pit using oak and fruit hardwoods before being doused in a vinegar-based sop sauce to sweeten the meat and pull out the delicious flavors. Additionally, Moe’s Original BBQ highlights two sauces including a tangy, tomato based red sauce that is perfectly spiced and a zesty, mayo-based white sauce for topping or dipping. You can’t forget the pickles and slaw that round out making Alabama-style BBQ a favorite. 

“Smoking meats and preparing all of our food from scratch daily is what sets us apart from many of our competitors,” said Moe’s Original BBQ Founding Partner Jeff Kennedy. “All of the founders grew up in Alabama and have worked hard to perfect Moe’s flavors to keep true to our heritage.” 

Featured in the book An Irresistible History of Alabama Barbecue, Moe’s Original BBQ has also been named in the Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal, one of the fastest growing, emerging restaurant chains by Restaurant Business Magazine, and one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish. Whether guests are gathering for a meal in the restaurant or enjoying whiskey and smoked meats at a Saturday afternoon tailgate, Moe’s Original BBQ strives to offer legendary experiences. Large party take out and catering are also available for any size party or event.
