In the winter of 2000, when the first Moe’s Southwest Grill opened its doors in Atlanta, GA, customers were introduced to a new restaurant concept that served fresh Southwestern food in an atmosphere that made everyone feel welcome whether you were grabbing a bite for lunch with a co-worker or taking the family out for dinner. Moe’s was an immediate hit that quickly became known for its appreciation of classic rock, cool-without-trying-too-hard personality, and of course, the best burritos this side of the border.
Founded in December 2000 in Atlanta, GA, Moe’s Southwest Grill® is a fun and engaging fast-casual restaurant franchise serving a wide variety of fresh, made-to-order Southwest fare in a welcoming environment that rocks.
The first thing you’ll hear when you walk into the restaurant is an enthusiastic, “Welcome to Moe’s! ® ” It’s more than just our rally cry. It embodies the entire culture. Everybody is welcome at Moe’s. Except, of course, fugitives.
With more than 20 incredibly fresh ingredients like all-natural chicken, grass-fed steak and organic tofu to create one-of-a-kind meals, Moe’s has everyone covered, from meat lovers to tree huggers to vegetarians and flexitarians. While we are best known for our awesome burritos, our menu also features kids’, vegetarian and low-calorie options – all served with free chips and salsa.
Moe’s currently serves the most awesome Southwest fare at more than 500 locations in the United States and abroad. In August 2007, Moe’s Southwest Grill joined FOCUS Brands Inc.
