Moe’s Original Bar B Que Set to Open in Tahoe City Soon

Vail, Colorado, June 14, 2014 – Centralized in the heart of Tahoe City at 120 Grove Street, Moe’s Original Bar B Que will offer its first waterfront location in mid-June. With outdoor seating and lakefront views from every table, owners Eric Pilcher, Josh Wallick and Luke Dannals will be providing the finest in Alabama-style BBQ daily from 11am-10pm in a Southern beach bar atmosphere. From daily smoked meats and fresh seafood to homemade sides and cold beers, Moe’s Original has something smokin’ for everyone! Moe’s Original Bar B Que features pork, chicken, turkey, wings, ribs, tofu, seafood, fresh house-made sides and 12 cold draft beers. Additionally, there will be boat coolers, catering for any size party or special occasion as well as a private event space upstairs.

“The former Lakehouse Pizza spot was legendary before it burned and we knew it would be the perfect place in a town with the exact vibe that we were wanted for our restaurant,” said co-owner Eric Pilcher. “Being a laid-back ski town in the winter and a fast paced, beachy mountain town in the summer, it offers the best of both worlds to us.”

Recognized with many awards, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has recently 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 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 from recipes passed down for generations.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que Expands to Decatur, Alabama

Decatur, Alabama, April 9, 2014 – Moe’s Original Bar B Que is proud to announce they will be opening a new Decatur location in early May at 202 East Moulton Street. Famous pit master Pauli “Choppy” Mitchell will serve-up the award-winning Alabama-style BBQ with all of the down home fixins in a family-friendly, yet fun atmosphere daily from 11am-10pm. The full premium bar will serve frozen concoctions including the famous Bushwacker and Moonshine Margarita, Southern-style cocktails, wine and plenty of craft beers on tap and will even stay open until midnight on Thursdays through Saturdays. Located in the Downtown Decatur Arts & Entertainment District next to the historic Princess Theatre, there will be occasional live music on the weekends that will range from Southern rock and blues with an emphasis on the Muscle Shoals and North Alabama music scene.

“Downtown Decatur is a natural fit for Moe’s Original Bar-B-Que and we are excited to be a part of the old town style with a fresh vibe,” said co-owner Mike Ellis. “The Arts & Entertainment district was attractive to us as well as the historic Princess Theatre, the Arts College, 3rd Friday and future projects planned for the area.”

The newly built, fast casual restaurant is 3,000 square feet and will seat approximately 100 people. The exposed spacious dining room has large windows and roll-up garage style doors that open to a 500 square feet covered front patio with bar service overlooking 2nd Ave. Wanting the location designed with a rustic theme, reclaimed wood and large timbers were used throughout the restaurant and bar while historic bricks make up the back bar.

With two other successful locations in Huntsville at Jones Valley and Village of Providence, owners Mike Ellis and Chris Clowers knew Decatur was the next logical spot after hunting for the perfect space. Named one of the Top 10 Rib Joints and BBQ Chains in America, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has 29 other locations in AL, CO, FL, GA, ME, NC, OH and TN. The popular restaurant features a Southern soul food revival with pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken smoked over hardwood served with two unique sauces as well as southern favorites such as fried catfish and shrimp sandwiches.
