Moe’s Original Bar B Que Set to Open Two More South Alabama Restaurants

February 5, 2015 | Leave a Comment

The highly popular Moe’s Original Bar B Que will be adding two additional ventures to its three other area restaurants in Mobile, Daphne and Orange Beach. Opening in early March with drive thru service, the West Mobile location at 4672 Airport Blvd will be close to the University of South Alabama and the airport. Located in the heart of Foley at 20733 Miflin Road, this new eatery will start to serve customers in April. At both locations, guests can expect the 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. The design of both locations will have repurposed materials including reclaimed barn wood and oxidized tin that will give a rustic look to make each spot feel like they’ve been there forever. While both BBQ joints are family friendly, there will also be full bars complete with bushwackers, Alabama beers and more for the adults!

“We are very excited about the opening of these new restaurants and expanding our company’s reach in Baldwin and Mobile counties,” said co-owner Mark White. “Additionally, we plan on using as much fresh local seafood and produce as possible in all of this area’s stores.”

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. 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. Today, with 35 other locations in 10 states, the popular restaurant serves up an Alabama BBQ experience complete with Southern sides and desserts made fresh daily from recipes passed down for generations.

March 7, 2014 | Leave a Comment

The inaugural Great Firkin Fest will invade downtown Mobile on Saturday, April 5^th at Moe’s Original Bar B Que, located at 701 Spring Hill Road. With participation from local and regional breweries, each will showcase distinctive cask ale in a firkin, a barrel made of stainless steel that holds 10.8 gallons of beer.

(Fairhope, Alabama), Brew Stooges (Huntsville, Alabama), Rocket Republic Brewing (Huntsville, Alabama) and Tallgrass Brewing (Manhattan, Kansas).

“Budweiser-Busch Distributing wanted to team up with Moe’s to introduce a specialized beer festival to the south Alabama area that not only shines the spotlight on cask ales but also the brewing talents of these local and regional breweries,” said Sarah Cure, Craft Manager for Budweiser-Busch Distributing. “Brewers typically have some fun with the creations and include interesting additions such as cocoa nibs, hot peppers, fresh whole-cone hops, orange peel, and more to accentuate the beer’s profile.”

Door open at 12pm with tapping at 12:30pm and awards for Best in Show and People’s Choice at 4pm. There will be live music during the event by Eric Lindell with headliner Keller Williams starting at 9pm. Tickets for Firkin only: $22 ADV/$25 DOS (include admission, a sampling glass, festival literature and a koozie), Keller show only: $22ADV/$25 DOS or both events: $32ADV/$35 DOS and are on sale here.

Moe’s Original Bar B Que To Expand into Mobile, Alabama with New Restaurant and Live Music Venue

December 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment

Moe’s Original Bar B Que is pleased to announce its opening in early January at 701 Spring Hill Avenue in downtown Mobile. Located on the main Mardi Gras parade route, this 7400 square foot spot in the upper part of Dauphin will offer a hot nightlife scene. While the popular fast casual restaurant and catering company will feature award-winning cuisine, it will also be an entertainment venue that will showcase live music from larger, well-known musical acts as well as host events including birthday parties, reunions, corporate meetings, wedding parties, and more.

“When we saw this enormous space, it just screamed Moe’s Original,” said owner Mark White. “I feel we have captured my ultimate vision of expanding our concept by creating a cool entertainment destination that nicely complements our casual, family-friendly dining environment.”

Located in an old Lincoln car dealership, the art deco building will be found by a large neon Moe’s Original Bar B Que arrow sign. The totally renovated interior keeps with the rustic look of Moe’s Original Bar B Que’s brand with wooden beams across the ceiling, timber accents and exposed brick walls. The interior space is divided into two parts with the main dining area in the front with a large, full premium bar in the center surrounded by bar stools and multiple large flat screen TVs. The bars as well as the music stage were re-purposed out of the lanes from the old Florida Bowl. Behind the bar is a wall with two large doors and exposed windows across the high ceilings that infuse the space with light to create an al fresco feel when opened up into the larger rear space. The back left houses the kitchen while the stage is located in the right corner with an additional bar as this area will be primarily used for live music events and private parties.

Founded in Vail in 2001, Moe’s Original Bar B Que has 20 other locations in AL, CO, GA, ME and NC. The popular fast casual restaurant features award-winning Alabama-style 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. Opening for lunch and dinner from 11am daily, the new restaurant will also offer six traditional special sides and desserts made fresh daily. Large party takeout orders and full service catering for events will also be available.
