Diners will have the option of choosing seating in a larger central dining room in one of the two historic train cars or patio seating.

The Tiger Room space will be converted into a smokehouse and prep-kitchen.
Construction is underway and CrossTies Barbecue is slated to open in May.
Moore also owns B-Side Lounge in Carrboro.
