Moe’s Original Bar B Que Set to Open Second Franklin location Downtown

Meat on PitAfter success in Cool Springs, partners Alston Noah, Jordan Winn, Andrew Clark and Will Strain will bring the Southern Soul Food Revival to Downtown Franklin at 901 Columbia Avenue in August. At both locations, shoppers, families, tourists and professionals on the go can expect the fast casual  menus to be the same as the other locations with the famous Alabama-style hand pulled pork, smoked chicken wings, turkey, fried shrimp and catfish, Memphis-style dry rubbed ribs and more, not to mention the favorite southern sides made from scratch daily. For those who enjoy libations, twelve beers on tap and the bar will offer varied liquors and 8-12 wines. The service-oriented staff is ready to accommodate any size party with premium catering services with delivery as well as large party take out orders. Moe’s Original Bar B Que has a laid back vibe for friends and families getting together to enjoy award-winning que, beverages and rustic Southern living.

 

“With a 2900 square foot interior, 85 guests can comfortably dine inside, with about 50 on the patio enclosed by shrubbery with a canopy of small bulb lights,” said partner Will Strain. “With half of the restaurant white washed with crimson trim, the cozy interior looks like an old barn. Rusted tin is featured on another wall that displays black and white photos of the owners, fellow Moe’s legends, and people in the community.”

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.
