MOAB is the descendant of a previous eatery called the Walking Chicken, originally owned by Sid and Felicity Cheatham. The Walking Chicken relocated to the location that would eventually become MOAB on Tully Road near Roseburg Ave in 1952.
As the story goes, they were eventually know for their Five by Five burger, featuring a 5 by 5 inch square meat patty. One day, a paper salesman by the name of Erv Keller (Who would go on to found Keller's Gift store, another long-lived Modesto institution that still exists to this day) stopped in to order a burger. He proceeded to wrap the burger in a extra large piece of paper, fastening it with a toothpick, and declared, "Here it is -- A Meal On A Bun."
The Cheatams bought the paper from Keller, and eventually renamed the restaurant "MOAB - Meal On A Bun".
Eventually, the Cheathams sold the business to Bob and Vi McCarthy in the 1960s. Their son, Eddie Gibson, was hired by his mother in 1962, and took over running MOAB in 1975, renaming the eatery "Fast Eddie's MOAB." Eddie still runs the place to this day.
