August 18, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Moe’s Original Bar B Que will start smokin’ its award-winning Alabama-style BBQ in South Portland at 209 Western Ave in early October. Conveniently located between I-95 and I-295 on Western Avenue near a large number of businesses, the new fast-casual dining option will be open daily with distinctive menu selections and home-style sides without breaking the budget. The family friendly restaurant will also feature signature Haul-It-Home packs for families to enjoy as well as full service catering for the greater Portland area.

Set up for counter service, Moe’s Original Bar B Que will also have a 12 seat, full premium bar which will be perfect for folks wanting to unwind after the workday. In addition to the bar, seating for 60 will include two booths, several low-top tables and a couple of high-top bar tables. There will also be a patio for outdoor dining.

“I am really excited to bring Moe’s Original style of BBQ to South Portland where we realize the bar is set high,” said owner Dewey Hasbrouck. “Our consistent great food, Southern hospitality, speed of service, and lower price point will add a slightly different dining out experience to the existing food market.”

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 Daily Meal and USA Today. 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. The popular restaurant serves up a Southern Soul Food Revival with not only fresh from the pit BBQ but down home sides and desserts made from recipes passed down for generations.

February 25, 2013 | Leave a Comment

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.

March 13, 2012 – Located at 650 Broadway in Bangor in the former home of Jimmy V’s Sandwich Shop, Moe’s Original Bar B Que is set to open at the beginning of April. A Maine native who had been living in Nashville, TN, Dwight “Dewey” Hasbrouck jumped on the opportunity to get back to his roots and bring Moe’s original style of Alabama BBQ to central Maine.

“After spending the majority of my life after high school living in the Southeast, my wife, Emily, and I felt a strong desire to raise our family in Maine,” said owner Dewey Hasbrouck. “After becoming a huge fan of the Moe’s Original Bar B concept and developing close friendships with the founding partners, we started thinking that this concept would be a great fit for the Bangor area. So, after months of planning and a huge leap of faith, I’m proud to be bringing one of my favorite aspects of the south back to my home state.”

With a capacity of 55, the local restaurant’s front atrium will have family style seating in a very relaxed atmosphere while the main dining room has several high-top wooden tables. A small, yet full bar set up offers a place for folks who want to enjoy flavorful BBQ while watching their favorite New England sports teams on one of the large screen TVs. Guests can come anytime for a quick lunch, casual family dinner or a fun night out with friends.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que features award-winning Bama-style pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken smoked over hardwood served with two unique sauces as well as catfish and a shrimp Moe-Boy sandwich.
