Alabama-style barbecue chain opening its first Myrtle Beach location. Here’s when and where
An Alabama-style barbecue chain plans on opening its second area restaurant in Myrtle Beach in late November or early December.
The new Moe’s Original BBQ at N. Kings Highway near 62 Ave. N. will join the Pawleys Island location. The Colorado-based chain, with restaurants in 13 states, serves smoked meat with a rotating selection of 60 sides.
Diners can pair their pulled pork, ribs and smoked chicken with red or white Alabama-style sauce. The pork butts are cooked over white oak in an 8-foot-wide smoker. Moe’s is known for the variety of side dishes, including cornbread, watermelon salad and macaroni and cheese, owner Matt Duke said.
The Myrtle Beach location will offer counter service and curbside pickup. Duke said he hopes to later expand the catering business and offer regular live music.
Duke said he plans on redoing the patio and adding a bar inside the building, which has housed a variety of restaurants, most recently BEACHED.
“It’s in the heart of Myrtle Beach, there’s a ton of residents and, you know, traffic on 17 Business, so it was just kind of a no brainer,” Duke said.
The owner of four local Mellow Mushroom restaurants, Duke has wanted to bring Moe’s to Myrtle Beach since his father and brother opened a location in Georgia.
