April 24, 2015 | Leave a Comment

April, 24, 2015, Pawleys Island, SC – After great demand for additional space in its 2500 square foot restaurant, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has started an addition. The Getaway will be a new 1,500 square foot building with additional outdoor seating on the patio, a bar, and new stage. Parking option will increase as well. Set to be completed by Memorial Weekend, the project was designed by Tych & Walker Architects, being built by Pinnacle Construction and supported by G3 Engineering.

“We carefully developed a lay out that can showcase live music as well as work to feature oyster roasts, crawfish boils and private parties,” said Moe’s Original Bar B Que owner Meg Lonon. “The Getaway will make the entertainment space separate from the restaurant as well as add an office, more storage and freezer to assist with our needs.”

Recognized with many awards, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has been named one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish and Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal. Years after learning to fire roast meats in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Mike Fernandez, Ben Gilbert and Jeff Kennedy discovered a shared passion for BBQ and founded Moe’s Original Bar B Que in Vail, Colorado in 2001. Moe’s Original Bar B Que has 37 other locations in AL, CA, CO, FL, GA, ME, NC, OH, SC and TN. Located on the thoroughfare of Highway 17, the popular restaurant features a Southern soul food revival with everything prepared fresh daily.

The design of both locations will have repurposed materials including reclaimed barn wood and oxidized tin that will give a rustic look to make each spot feel like they’ve been there forever. While both BBQ joints are family friendly, there will also be full bars complete with bushwackers, Alabama beers and more for the adults!

“We are very excited about the opening of these new restaurants and expanding our company’s reach in Baldwin and Mobile counties,” said co-owner Mark White. “Additionally, we plan on using as much fresh local seafood and produce as possible in all of this area’s stores.”

The anticipated opening of Moe’s Original Bar B Que is set for early February at 1898 Kamar Plaza. Serving up the popular Southern Soul Food Revival well known across the state and country, the affordable quick service restaurant will also offer its fresh from the pit meats and down home sides as take out, not to mention a robust catering service serving the greater Steamboat Springs area.

“In a resort town that caters to visitors, Steamboat locals can often feel squeezed out of their own community during peak ski and summer tourist seasons,” said co-owner Chris Gander. “Since all of the Steamboat owners are long-time locals for several generations, we want to serve our fellow residents what they deserve and crave, reasonably-priced food and cheap beers in a relaxed atmosphere, away from the resort madness of Ski Town USA.”

Housed in a remodeled 7-Eleven location, the 2,585 sq. feet restaurant is designed for quick, delicious dining in a laid back place with local style. With many candid pictures of local skiing and daily life decorating the walls, there will also be some quirky oddball items that reflect the owners’ personalities. A dark brick wall with a giant pig and warm cypress wood panels squarely frame the bar and dining area that includes several six-person booths and multiple high and low tables. There is a giant chalkboard wall for kids to enjoy as well as a garage door that opens the dining area to an enjoyable patio outside.
