WOODFIN, N.C. — A trip to Moe’s Original BBQ means more than a meal. It’s a chance to slow down, make connections, and enjoy recipes passed down for generations.

Expect top-notch barbecue and soulful sides. All served with a smile and a thank you.

A Taste of Alabama in Asheville

Moe’s has carved out a spot in North Asheville by serving something different from the barbecue most locals grew up with — Alabama-style barbecue.

The restaurant is known for its award-winning smoked meats and a white barbecue sauce that may surprise first-timers. Unlike the vinegar-based or tomato-heavy sauces often tied to the Carolinas, Alabama’s signature white sauce is a tangy, mayo-based blend that’s become a signature part of Moe’s menu.

An After-Work Gathering Spot

Beyond the barbecue, Moe’s has become a laid-back neighborhood spot to gather. The restaurant serves beer and wine at the bar, making it a relaxing place to unwind after work.

With its casual atmosphere, pet friendly patio and daily hours, Moe’s offers the kind of reliable, no-frills comfort people look for in a regular hangout. It’s as much a neighborhood hub as it is a restaurant.

Family Meals Made Easy

Families, too, have embraced the convenience of Moe’s. The restaurant’s “Haul-It-Home” packs make it easy to bring barbecue to the dinner table.

The Double Wide Family Pack feeds three to four people with a pound of meat — pork, turkey or chicken — served with two side pints, your choice of bread, sauce, and pickles.

For larger families, the Triple Wide Family Pack feeds five to six people with a pound and a half of meat, three side pints, bread, sauce, and pickles.

Both options give families the chance to enjoy hearty portions of Alabama-style barbecue at home without the work of cooking.
