Slow Hand BBQ is a must-visit spot known for its consistently amazing food and friendly service. The Philly sandwich and nachos are well-made with great cuts, while the crispy tots are a favorite. On Sundays, the huge beef rib is a special treat. The Rueben, with lean corned beef and melted Swiss cheese on marble rye, is a standout. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the owner ensures everything is top-notch. With a variety of beers available and plenty of TVs to watch games, this establishment is a great choice for any occasion. The prime rib on Fridays at the Pleasant Hill location is a must-try.
Customers praise the excellent ribs, both St. Louis style and baby back, as well as the brisket, which is described as just a touch dry but still delicious. The sides, including traditional potato salad, standard camp-style beans, and a unique and tasty coleslaw, are also highly regarded. The service is fast and friendly, and the place is clean, with COVID-era parking lot tables that are getting plenty of use.
Customers also highlight the great food, including the brisket with a nice crust and juicy interior, the baby back ribs that fall off the bone, and the flavorful tri-tip. The mac and cheese is a standout, and the beans and desserts, such as the key lime pie, bread pudding, and blackberry cobbler, are also enjoyed by diners.
