It’s a really hard market to get into and be successful! With that being said, I’m sorry but this just isn’t it. The people working there are great and friendly. When you walked in there’s nothing to it, as the same vibe as walking into just a little hood spot. I was caught off guard by the grill in the center of the kitchen with a bunch of thick raw meat on it but I ignored it. I looked at the menu and there is nothing special which can be perfectly fine because the real word is in the food. I ordered the two meat plate (ribs and brisket), fries, beans and a large drink. $20. Ok not bad on the price. Waited a couple of minutes and had my food. I asked for bbq sauce and she said it’s on it already. Unfortunately this was a red flag because not everyone likes bbq sauce on their bbq and you put it on already? I opened the plate and was left with just hoping for the best. The ribs were small and pushing the sauce aside I found the brisket clumped with fat. Fries were normal, beans store bought, then came the bbq, the ribs were very dry and had little to no smoke ring. The brisket was tough and clumped with fat to add moisture. The sauce isn’t the best. I believe most of the meat is prepared on that center kitchen grill to be honest. I wanted to find a hole in the wall gem but unfortunately I found just a hole in the wall. Again the people there are great and I only wish the best for their business but unfortunately I can’t recommend the bbq because it just...
Read moreI would love to give it up big time for Larry . . . But! For a little less than $25.00 bucks I purchased 2 beef sandwiches, and an order or ribs! This was my first visit to Slabs BBQ. I SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED MY “FIRST INTUITION!” The rib(s) were kept under a section of foil on an unheated table top. They were cold, time dehydrated, and almost too anemic to cling to its bone!
The visual of seeing him drag out this dated carcass should have been enough to prompt a protest of “NO THANK YOU!” I should have left right then, and there . . . but I hesitated! Upon arriving home I tried to be objective, I tried to ignore the swift kick to my stomach that almost caused convulsions! The thought of consuming his ribs was causing my head to spin with confusion!
Larry (the assumed owner) seems to be a genuinely honest as a nice guy! I wish I could say the same for his BBQ. It sucks BIG TIME!
Do not even [think] of stopping here . . . Help Larry by voting with your dollars! Spend them somewhere else. Perhaps in time he’ll get the message and...
Read moreMy baked potato was wrong and wasn't appetizing at all. I asked for sliced brisket on my potato, but he had added the chopped beef concoction with sauce instead. Even worse he added what was supposed to be sliced brisket ($1.50 extra), cut up meat on top of it! Yuck! The ribs were tough and not very flavorful. If the owner has to recommend drowning your meat in the sauce, you should take the hint.
It seemed like the ribs that he moved from in front of us were only for show as he took them over to the table and brought them right back! Very secretive how he hides behind the table so that he doesn't reveal what's really going on between there and the warming cabinet. Kinda made me feel a little uneasy.
Sorry, but I will not be patronizing this establishment again. Can't do...
