Where the Locals Go.

When I get asked where I like to go for lunch here in Heber, Moe’s Grill, located in the Mountainland One Stop gas station, is always at the top of my list. With its wallet-friendly large portions and satisfyingly fresh signature dishes, sandwiches, and Mexican options, Moe’s is a great place to get something for everyone.

Though Moe’s is becoming more well-known around town, many still don’t know about this gem – maybe because it is inside the Mountainland One Stop gas station. It’s not a place you’ll see from the road. Those in the know, like the high schoolers and city and construction workers, keep the wood tables filled at lunchtime every day. If crowds aren’t your thing, call in your order; it’s usually ready for pick up in 10-15 minutes.

If you are wondering who Moe’s Grill is named after, it’s named after one of the One Stop’s owners, Mohamed Mohamed. In 2011, Mohamed ‘Moe’ was operating another successful grill in another state and decided to check out Utah. He found and purchased the Mountainland One Stop in 2016 from Jeff Wade. The One Stop was already a busy and loved place in Heber; Moe knew he would have big shoes to fill. He added Moe’s Grill to the gas station in June 2017, keeping the original menu from his previous grill because customers loved it. Moe is passionate about great food, and he knew he could make the grill profitable due to having the same overhead as the One Stop and passing those savings onto his customers. Moe employs family members that include two nephews, one younger brother, and his incredible grill chef, José, his brother-in-law who followed him to Utah. You’ll often see Moe at the One Stop, with his business partner since 2021, Devin Johnson.

What makes Moe’s so great – besides the fries? Everything is fresh and made from scratch every day. Though the Philly Cheesesteak and Wet Chile Verde burrito put them on the map, there’s something to be said about a delicious, well-made turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich on sourdough. There’s a vegetarian sandwich loaded with fresh veggies and flavor, and a filling chef salad for those that want something lighter. The tacos, burritos, tortas, and nachos all have that irresistible, authentic Mexican flavor and always come out perfectly hot. There’s also a kid’s menu. As mentioned earlier, the portions are generous, and customers have noticed and appreciated what they can get for their money. Moe says, “I wanted to give the customers enough to appreciate the money they spent and have it be really fresh and quality food.”

If you have ever stopped in at the One Stop, you’ll see that even though it’s busy, the employees run it efficiently and smoothly; and make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Moe’s has a wonderfully loyal customer base just from this alone, and you’ll most likely run into someone you know or have worked with.

Moe loves to cater and does a lot of events in the summer and fall. He prepares and caters everything himself because he loves the connection that happens when feeding people, which he learned by watching his mother when he was a boy. He shares, “It doesn’t feel like work to me. I truly love seeing people happily enjoying food; it fills me in a way.”

Because of the variety, freshness, and deliciousness, it will be easy for you to try everything at Moe’s. So next time someone asks, “Where do you like to go for an outstanding lunch in Heber?” I’m pretty confident you’ll also say, “Moe’s Grill inside the Mountainland One Stop!”
