To kick off the Memorial Day weekend, Kim and I took a walk up to the newly opened Moe’s Original BBQ near the intersection of 6th and Broadway.  We’ve eaten at a couple of other Moe’s locations in the past and have always enjoyed the food.  This visit was no exception.  Another Moe’s location that has a small bowling alley inside is only three and half miles from our house, but this new location is a walkable mile and half for us.  We arrived just after seven in the evening and there was a steady flow of people ordering food, finding tables either inside or out on the large patio area, or just hanging at the bar for a few drinks.

As with Moe’s other locations, food is ordered at the counter, or in this case at the bar.  Kim went with the smoked chicken sandwich with beans and slaw and I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich with mac ‘n cheese and fried okra.  After placing the order we found a table out on the front patio that still had some shade.  Our food was delivered to us in under ten minutes and everything was smoked or cooked just right.  Both of these sandwiches are served “Alabama style” with both red and white sauce along with coleslaw all piled on a white bun.  Both were delicious, though we both opted to add a little more of the regular BBQ sauce to each.  The sides were also excellent, with the fried okra being the big surprise of the night.  I guess it is true when people say that anything fried is good.  This was more than enough food, and the price is just right!  I’m glad to have a BBQ restaurant so close to home.  We will absolutely be back soon.
