Moes Original Bar B Que lands lakeside in Tahoe City

TAHOE CITY, Calif. Tahoe City is set to take the plunge with a new lake front restaurant addition.

Located in a new, two-story building at the Grove Street Pier in Tahoe City, Moes Original Bar B Que is scheduled to open by mid-June.

Josh Wallick, Eric Pilcher and Luke Dannals partnered after finding the perfect location for what they call a soul food revival. The boys like to call it a friendchise its mostly friends and family. Moes has restaurants in Alabama, Colorado, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maine.

Working practically 24/7 to get the building restaurant-ready, these hands-on guys built their own tables for a totally Tahoe ambiance. All three have extensive restaurant and food and beverage experience: Eric and Josh worked side-by-side at Moes in Vail, Colo. and Luke worked as a beverage captain at the Marriott in Vail, a four diamond resort.

Their philosophy is to provide an affordable meal in a relaxed atmosphere like being at a friends for dinner.

Moes is steeped in the tradition of sizzlin Southern soul food, such as smoked meats with Moes secret rub and slow smoke process.

Fried, sustainably harvested, freshwater catfish are a specialty, along with a fried gulf shrimp Moe-boy and blackened seasonal fish.

Alabama barbecued chicken and turkey, chicken wings and tofu are served with a signature white barbecue sauce. When winter rolls around, warm up with crab or shrimp bisque, sweet potato soup and a variety of chili.

Banana pudding, Mississippi mud pie and scotcheroos (Rice Crispie treats with caramel and chocolate coating) will top things off.

Craft beers and a hand-selected wine list should keep the bar lively and diners satisfied.
