Moe\u2019s Original BBQ<\/a><\/b> officially opens Tuesday, May 19, on West Roosevelt Boulevard in Monroe, according to a news release sent to CharlotteFive.<\/p>\n

Ranked among the best spots to grab a BBQ chicken sandwich<\/a> in Alabama, the Tuscaloosa-born restaurant chain serves up slow-smoked meats, classic Southern sides and homemade sauces. Expect crowd favorites like the cornbread, pulled pork sandwich and banana pudding.<\/p>\n

The Monroe restaurant \u2014 owned by North Carolina natives Russell and Brooke Gentry, and Russell\u2019s brother Paul \u2014 marks Moe\u2019s return to the Charlotte metro. It will join existing locations across the state, including spots in North Asheville, Hendersonville and Wilmington.<\/p>\n

Brooke worked at the former Moe\u2019s Original BBQ restaurant in Matthews before it closed, the release said. The eatery was eventually replaced by Moo & Brew<\/a> in 2022, CharlotteFive reported.<\/p>\n

Brooke Gentry\u2019s dream of opening a Moe\u2019s of her own was four years in the making.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a place that felt welcoming and familiar to all,\u201d she said in the release. \u201cWhether you\u2019re sharing a meal with your family, picking up dinner on the way home or stopping by after work, we want every guest to leave feeling the warmth of Southern barbecue and a true sense of community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other menu highlights include:<\/p>\n

So what sets Moe\u2019s \u2018Bama-style barbecue apart?<\/p>\n

The regional style is defined by \u201cslow-smoked pork, bold seasonings and distinctive sauces,\u201d the restaurant said. At Moe\u2019s, pork shoulder is the star of the show. Expect cuts that are well-trimmed, dry-rubbed in a secret seasoning blend, then smoked over oak and fruit hardwoods.<\/p>\n

The finishing touch? A vinegar-based sop sauce.<\/p>\n

Customers can further customize their meal with Moe\u2019s homemade \u2018Bama-style white sauce, tangy tomato-based red sauce, pickles, slaw and other sides.<\/p>\n
