I love this place. The brother & sister that run it are super friendly and the food is always amazing and fresh. I'm in here at least once a week. I always got the chopped beef sandwich and they kept telling me to try their baked potato with chopped beef... man! That's some good stuff right there haha. Super friendly people, good food, check them out!

I love the ribs and brisket sandwiches they have I haven't tried anything else. Everything looks good it's a little pricey but it's worth it. It's the closest one that I like to get Barbecue from so I tend to go go every chance I get. The staff is nice also the owner.

The reviews lead us here, and we were not disappointed! Some of the best pulled pork I've ever had, and the fired okra was cooked perfectly! The service was excellent and the owners are very friendly. Totally worth the stop!

Such an amazing, caring and sweet brother and sister DUO. I got a catering size order for my office and everyone loved it. Brisket is extremely tender and the potato salad might be the best I've ever had. Will definitely be coming back.

Went to Slabs to kill some time and try out a place I'd never been before. Saw reviews and got curious! The service is the best around, probably one of the best customer service experiences I've had ever. As said before, went to kill time so that I could wait out a bit of my commute. However, didn't know there was nowhere to dine inside! Being 100+ degrees outside, I did not want to have to wait out my commute in my car. Asked the guys working if they knew of any parks or seating where I could eat, and they offered me a chair! Honestly good vibes while I was sitting and eating. One of the guys working offered me water with my food (got a half rack of ribs, delicious! Soaked in a bunch of delicious BBQ sauce! Very tender, flavorful), and when I showed him that I'd brought my own water bottle offered to put some ice in it. Very, very thoughtful. Hands down, amazing food, chill atmosphere, and EXCELLENT customer service. I will be coming again even though it's a bit out of my normal way. Thank you Slabs BBQ for a great experience and dinner!!

Best BBQ I've had in a long time. Very friendly and hospitable. Generous portions and that real home cooked flavor. You can just tell they really care about the food they serve. Good price and fast service! Next time I will try the homemade banana pudding.
