Moe's Original Bar B Que
With only several locations throughout the United States (exclusively in Alabama and Colorado), stopping at Moe's Original Bar B Que is a must for any fan of barbecue or southern cuisine. Since the restaurant's opening date, Moe's has become one of the local favorites. By looking at it from the street, you'd never expect more than some mom-and-pop barbecue stand. However, Moe's has been noted to have "cornbread that melts in your mouth," and the hickory barbecue smell of its Texas-style BBQ even overpowers the parking lot.
