By the end of the month, Moe’s Original BBQ will open its second upstate location in Spartanburg at 578 N Church Street Suite D in the mixed use Hub development.

The award-winning smoked menu feeds the soul with many BBQ staples, tofu, catfish, mahi mahi and shrimp as well as a rotation of 60 traditional Southern sides and house made desserts. Families, workers and students can dine inside the 3200 square foot restaurant or enjoy a meal on the patio by one of the fire pits while watching sports on the TVs or kids playing cornhole in the greenspace.
