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.
