And the baked potato was so good just plain even by itself it was creamy and I've never tasted as amazing as this simple potato. I tell you it was like magic! Finished up with a cheese cake which you can never go wrong with that, but my oh my it was something out of this world! The service was fantastic and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. The place was so cool I can't even explain it, just have to come here and see for yourself! I'd give it 100/100 for sure!

I ordered the chicken fried Steak. And the waitress came out about 10 mins later to let me know…read morethey were out of it. Disappointed but okay, things happen. I ordered a sirloin steak, medium well. It was cooked to order, w a tiny bit of pink. But it was truly the toughest steak Ive ever eaten. I ate about 3 pieces and gave up. My husband ate one and agreed. Orhers at table remarked on how I had to saw thru the steak. When the waitress came back, I told her that it was tough. Stuck my fork in it to show her the cooked temp. It was correct. Pointed out how I had to stab it w the fork cause it was so tough. She said that to bad that happened. Told her she might tell the cook. She just stood there. I asked for a box to take it home. I'd feed it to my dog. She said hope he's not too bougie to eat it. And she left. We paid and left. On the other hand everyone else at the table was satisfied with their food. We'll see how bougie my dog is cause I'm too bougie to eat a steak I can't chew.

Fantastic!! Stopped through while traveling across town. Had never pulled off here before, but it…read morewas worth it. I had the burnt end sandwich and fries to-go. The beans looked good, but not easy to eat and travel. The burnt ends came on slices of white bread. I had to apply sauce at a table before leaving as I couldn't find and sauce cups. And a little extra on the paper plate for fries. It ended up being a little messy to eat and drive to I sat in the parking lot and ate. The fries seemed hand cut and were very good. I would come back for more.

So I have had Slap's BBQ once before at a catered event, but I had never been to the restaurant…read moremyself. The catered event was a couple of years back. First thing I'll say is that even though they do have designated parking, it can be rather hectic getting a parking spot and/or parking on the street because it's a rather busy street and they have a lot of traffic. I came in on a Sunday evening around 5:00, and there was still a line out the door and to the end of the parking lot. It was about 93 degrees outside and probably felt even hotter. I'll say that the inside of the restaurant, where you can order, is air-conditioned. The line, considering how long it was, moved pretty quickly. I'll also say that the menu had a couple of different things that were blacked out, so it was a little hard to decipher what wasn't available. I did look online previously and had a reasonable idea of what I wanted, but you have enough time while standing in line to make a decision on what to order. I will say that the staff was great. They got our order to us pretty quickly, including what they had to bring out to us. They were nice and courteous. Everything you need can be found outside. We sat in the screening area. The biggest issue is that it's ridiculously hot outside in the summer. Even though it is screened in and covered, the fans just don't do enough. They have some overhead heaters that look like they're quality for when it's cooler outside. It would be great if they had a spot that was cooler than that. There are a lot of other barbecue places around. They provide air conditioning. I know every place is different, but this place charges similar prices to other places. Even when I left a little bit after 6:00, there was still a line. As a matter of fact, it was longer than when I got there. A lot of people are in from out of town for events. I'd have to say, as someone who's lived here for decades and decades, there are better places to go that will give you the experience that this place has been known for, but they're not offering it, at least when I went. I went ahead and ordered the three rib burnt-in combo, getting hush puppies and cheese curds as my sides. I would have to say that I would have to give that a three out of five. The cheese curds were cooked a little too long. They had good flavor in the middle, but weren't as moist as I would like in the center, and were a little too crunchy on the outside. The cheese curds tasted like the last of the grease. The cheese didn't have a good flavor to it. It just looked like it absorbed the worst of the grease. They were made fresh. They actually brought them out to the table. I sat in a screening area. There was no air conditioning. There was a breeze from outside, and the fans were on. I'll say with that seating situation, we were sitting at the table sweating, even when it was time to leave. All the air conditioning from the ordering inside had worn off at that point. The ribs were nice and tender, not stringy at all, but the only flavor that I was able to notice was whatever seasoning the guy put on top after he cut them before he presented them to me. The sauces were either sweet or spicy. The sweet tasted like syrup. The spicy had a little bit of a kick to it, but had undertones of the sweet. That's not my preference, but overall, my food was bland. I've had them in the past, and they did have more flavor. I will say texture-wise it was on point, but from a flavor standpoint, it wasn't it. We did get bread and pickles that came with the combo. The pickles were good. I didn't try the bread. I opted for water as my preference. It was nice and cold, clean, free water. Tastes pretty good. My son ended up coming with me. Actually, he brought me as a Father's Day gesture, so we came the week after Father's Day. He ended up getting the burnt end with the jalapeño brat, and he liked it. He said it had good flavor, but the burnt ends were more fat than meat, and that the sauce really carried the burnt ends, from his perspective. He said to me that his mac and cheese was just okay. He said it was piping hot, as it came from the bottom of the pan. I don't know what that means. I'm not a mac and cheese person. He also stated that the baked beans had meat in them. They were okay, was his sentiment. That will be another three out of five. I would love to have more smoke and flavor in the meat, as well as more seasoning/soul in the sides.

We stood in the doorway for a bit, unsure where or what to do. The waitress who ended up telling like three different parties of people to set yourself seemed like it should be a no brainer we need to seat ourselves, she was either stressed or overwhelmed, but definitely took it out on us. When we sat it wasnt clear who was serving us with a total of four different people helping us at different times throughout the meal. Once our food was ordered, we could see it in the window but didnt get to us for a good 10 minutes or so. They did try and ring our server with their bell like 3 times. Doesn't seem like anyone is in the business of helping each other out for the sake of the customers. Everyone was just doing different things besides serving food it seemed. Onion strings we had were kind of burnt and didnt have too much flavor, I wouldn't recommend. My husband was a big fan of their brisket and not so much of their pulled pork. Cole slaw and potato salad were a huge hit. I was a big fan of the pork tenderloin sandwich and it was MASSIVE! They do plenty of entertainment on the weekends so hopefully if we go back we get to see that.
