We placed a catering order for thirty people, and when I tell you that every family at our celebration asked where we got the AMAZING barbecue, we proudly told them Slow n' Low in Viera! We had plenty of food and then some! The brisket was PHENOMENAL, the pulled pork was moist and delicious, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection!! The sides were just as delicious as the meats. The potato salad, mac and cheese and barbecue beans were off the charts!! Everything was packed up so nicely in trays that set rate on top of our sterno racks. My family is now begging me to make sure we go visit when they are in town again and we certainly will! Thank you so much.You really made our party that much more special. read more

We wanted to love this place because of the convenience in the location but unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectation. We went on a Friday night and it was us and one other table.. that should have been the first red flag. The service was great, that's the reasoning for the 2 stars. Both of the ladies that helped us were super nice and attentive but the food was just not it. The meat had no flavor. Unfortunately. I got the potato and my whole potato tasted burnt. The baby back ribs were tough and not good. Also, the lemonade had no free refills which wasn't a problem at first because we loveee lemonade but it tasted like sweet dirty dish water and lemon. read more

Food is ok. If u want a quiet place to have a beer & dinner, not the spot. They have game nights, eg. bingo, & can get pretty noisy. But if that's your thing, place will work. read more

We stopped in at Slow & Low BBQ in Viera and tried a spread of items that really showed off what this local joint does best--bold flavors, great textures, and a relaxed vibe that invites you to sit back and stay awhile. The Ribs were a standout. Tender with just enough pull from the bone, they had a great smoky bark and a balance of sweet and savory in the sauce that didn't overpower the meat. Chicken Tenders were a pleasant surprise--crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and clearly made fresh. They'd be a hit for both kids and adults. The French Fries with BBQ Rub are a must-try side. That rub takes them to another level--salty, smoky, a little sweet, and totally addictive. We were picking at them long after we were full. Broccoli Salad offered a fresh, crunchy counterpoint to all the rich BBQ. It had a creamy dressing with a little tang and just the right amount of sweetness--plus some bacon crumbles for good measure. The Daily Special was a showstopper: pulled pork piled high on Texas toast, with melted cheese and grilled until everything fused into one gloriously crispy, cheesy, meaty bite. It's the kind of sandwich you think about the next day. Overall, Slow & Low in Viera delivers on its name--slow-smoked meats, low-key atmosphere, and BBQ done right. Great for a casual lunch or laid-back dinner, especially if you're craving Southern comfort food with some creative touches. read more

Took the family in last night for dinner as we just moved here a few weeks ago. We were the only people seated inside. A few others were outside at the bar. Took our order and food came quick. Baby back ribs were good. Sweet tea was good. Garlic bread Texas toast was yum. I had sides of mashed sweet potatoes and fried okra which were just ok. Hubby ordered pulled pork in Texas toast and fries. He thought the meat tasted bland like it needed to be seasoned. He did add sauce which helped but thought it would have been better if the meat had been seasoned with some rub to make the flavor deeper. The fries came out hot and crispy with no seasoning. My daughter had chicken tenders and fries. Said they were ok. Service was good and attentive. Lots of options for sauce. read more

We had a group of 25 people come in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The service was phenomenal!! Super friendly and always made sure our needs were met. The food was hot, fresh & delicious! And it came out super fast for how big of a party we had! We would definitely return in the future and recommend to anyone who asks!! read more

We went to Slow & Low for a family dinner (party of 7!) while on vacation for a baseball tournament. Three of us ordered the pulled pork sandwich, a full rack of ribs, Dino nuggets for the 2 kiddos, and a burger. Every single one of our plates had cold food!! Everyone! We all got 2 different sides to choose from for our meal, and those were also cold. One of our persons got a baked potato and the butter never melted. The Mac & cheese was so cold it congealed, and multiple people got this side. The kiddos both got kids meals, Dino nuggets & fries. Dino nuggets were perfectly crisp and hot, fries, not so much. The ribs & baked potato plate, were the worst. Everything felt like it came straight out of the fridge. We told our server and she did NOTHING about it!! She came back & asked us how things were and we told her the cold food situation and she said "she would be right back," 3 TIMES! The last time she came back she asked US what we wanted her to do. We were all mind blown! We told her, again, for the 4th time, and she said she would tell the kitchen again. Finally when the bill came and the rib plate wasn't eaten she asked if we wanted it taken off the bill or made a new one, to-go. We told her multiple times that we would have to go home, and heat the food up, to enjoy the food, at the temperature it's supposed to be. She never took the food off the bill and she gave us the same rib plate order, to-go. From an actual food taste standpoint, it was the worst bbq I've ever had! I eat out A LOT and have experienced several restaurants, with lots of different types of food, in lots of different cities. The pork was extremely dry and not seasoned, the bbq sauce was sitting in the heat and was very vinegar-y, not Carolina style at all. The Mac & cheese was very mushy (noodles & sauce), the turnip greens were very bland, the baked beans were decent and tasty, the green beans (canned) were over cooked and the ends of the ribs (both orders) were burnt & dry. All & all, the only thing good there was the Dr. Pepper! read more

Food: Just okay. Missing the mark on the sides. The meat was flavorless and dry. Especially the pork. Service: It started well, but by the end we left feeling as if we did something wrong. Mid meal I found hair in my food...clearly not my hair (my hair was braided to the back and I wore a ball cap). Mentioned the hair to (I assume) an owner and he did right by asking if I wanted anything else, and removing the meal from the bill. I didnt want anything further...I paid the bill, still tipped fairly, however was ignored when exiting. No "Thank you for coming", or "Have a good day"...just a look and turn away continuing to converse with whom I assume was a supplier of sort. Ambiance: Definitely could use a monthly deep clean. I hate when restaurants go cheap in the bathroom. This is a commercial business, get industrial toilets and sinks. The booth is patched with black duck tape. The TVs in the booths are filthy. If the hair in the food never happened, it would have been 3 stars because the person I was with enjoyed their food. They went down to 2 stars for the hair on my plate...and down to 1 for the lack of customer service when they had to remove the meal from the bill. The place was empty (literally)...so the servers were a guy and girl, of whom I assume we're the owners. So my expectation for a goodbye greeting, is not unreasonable. He was standing 2 feet from the door. Sucks to have to comp a meal, but you did the right thing. Why lose a potential return customer over one bad meal? Keep up the good customer service throughout the experience. We won't be back. read more

My family was very excited to take us all to this restaurant because of the great experiences they've had here in the past. Overall, the evening started off well--the server was very friendly and the food was delicious. However, the margarita I ordered didn't taste like it had any alcohol and didn't resemble a typical margarita. It wasn't a big deal to me, and I politely asked for a different drink. Unfortunately, the situation took a turn when the manager, John, came to our table and argued about removing the drink from the bill. I found his attitude unnecessarily confrontational and unprofessional, especially given how minor the issue was. It was disappointing to have such a negative interaction in what was otherwise a nice evening. A little more understanding and professionalism from management would have gone a long way. read more

Food is always good. Very pleased with the atmosphere and level of service! Thank you!

We had a nice sliced beef Barbecue sandwich was very good! Service was good as well

Nice indoor/outdoor space. Attentive and pleasant service. St Louis ribs were great. Brisket tasty but a little dry. Very convenient in Viera. Will be back. read more

Cafeteria quality food. I bet most of the business comes from out of towners visiting the stadium. Portions are tiny but didn't want more of this. Meat was not very tender and there were no knives provided. Waitress dropped food and disappeared so we couldn't ask for one. Warning if you sit inside it's no cooler than being outside. The restaurant is open to the outside. Booths are tight and the seats in rough shape. I don't see this business lasting very long here. This is a one and done. read more

Just had lunch there had to leave right after ordered. Paid $3 for a tea with lunch, had I stayed would have had 2-3 as my normal. ask her to go box and a tea to go. Brings me a tea that looks like it's in a kids cup. Tells me that's all he's allowed to give. I don't make the rules. I so I would like a bigger one., he said have to charge. I said didn't get to finish my whole tea cause of leaving. Proceeds to charge me another $3.20 for a big tea to go. It tells me again I don't make the rules OK you do not. I don't have to like them and I do not have to frequent your business again to pay extra for mediocre barbecue. read more

Dined in late on a Saturday night and it wasn't bad at all. Our food was good and very tasteful. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and they were good.. I had the exploding potato w/brisket and it was delicious. Service and ambiance was very nice even though it was late. My daughter had the brisket sandwich, and my husband had the brisket plate both enjoyed their meals with no complaints. Overall it was a good restaurant to eat at but not the best BBQ (brisket) I've eaten.. will go again if wethe area. read more

Best pulled Turkey I ever had!!! And if the turkey is good, I can only imagine how good the other meats are. The coleslaw was fantastic as well. The water tasted weird, but maybe that's because I'm from out of town. The service was friendly and fast and beautiful and great. It was packed a little tight, but the main reason I took off a star is because we got 2 kids meals... 1 cheeseburger with applesauce and 1 Mac cheese with French fries. We were charged extra for the French fries. Does the $5.99 Mac Cheese meal not come with a side? Either way it was a great experience, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Fantastic. Me and my roommate are brand new to the area and wanted to get some lunch because we just moved in and don't have groceries. This place did not disappoint! Our server, John, was super friendly and punctual and he made our experience all the more impressive. We were both more than satisfied with our lunch menu specials and that goes with the taste, price, and portion size. Some must tries include the cornbread (that is NOT dry) and the homestyle Mac n cheese (it is worth the splurge). The drink specials are also INSANE. I enjoyed everything I tried at this place and so did my roommate! This place will definitely be seeing us again. read more

Food was amazing catered for26 people. Everyone asked where I got it from. Chicken, brisket and pork had great flavor.

Being from Texas; I have the highest standards for BBQ. A few friends recommended this place so I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed the sides, the flavor of the brisket was good, but the brisket itself was quite dry. Maybe a bad day, so I'll give them another shot in the future. read more

Yikes. Very disappointing experience last night and did not even get to eat! First and foremost, I am a very patient. I walked into this establishment expecting a wait and a little chaos even with the crowds from the parade. The restaurant was full and maybe 15 people waiting for a table. Honestly, this should not overwhelm a prepared staff. My complaint is not related to the food. This is a management/ staff issue. I walked in, approached the hostess podium, an older lady stood there appearing to figure out tables and who had what. She never looked up. She's busier than normal, so understandable. She then walks away, comes back, a server joins her and complains about the crowd. Still, she never looks up. I waited about 5 minutes and never received acknowledgement. This is unacceptable. I am not complaining about waiting for 5 minutes. I expected to wait 30 minutes minimum for a table. I am complaining that I stood in front of your staff and no one could bother to say , " hey, we'll be right with you!" It is incredibly rude. This is the impression customers receive- that they are in the way, not welcome, and you could care less if they walk away. Will not be back. Ever. read more

My family and I ate at Slow & Low when they first opened years ago. At that time the food was average, service was "ok", and price to portion ratio was terrible. Well we see decided to give it another shot. Wow, what a difference a few years made. Food was great, portions and prices were great, and most importantly was the service. We sat at the bar and Donna treated us like we were VIPs. Bottom line is that we had a great time and will be back. read more

Ashley was the only server today and she was so good. She was friendly, professional and polite. Being by herself she was on point and was ready with sauces, napkins or refills before we could ask. The manager was also helpful with cleaning and customer care also and we thought that was great. The service was great, the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, so was the large glasses of Pepsi. The restrooms were very clean also. This is a great dining and gathering place nestled near the beautiful neighborhoods in Viera. read more

This was a very pleasant surprise, great service and good food on a quite Saturday night... We came in to celebrate our daughter's engagement (a few months old now but nevertheless we wanted to mark the special occasion by having a nice, big meal) on what turned out to be a slow Saturday night for this place. We were sat quickly, found our seats comfortable and then started our experience. The entire experience was superb - the service was attentive and friendly (our waiter being the chatty kind which I really like), our food was made to order, came out hot, and there was plenty of it. Most of the folks around the table had their turkey special while I had the brisket (I can never skip brisket). All of it was flavorful and made even better with the homemade sauces readily available on the table. For desert we shared this behemoth of a desert with fried bananas and ice cream and though I would have loved to have eaten it all myself, there was really no chance - it was big. I've always wanted to try their beach-side location but just never have gotten around to it. I'm so glad we got to try them here. This was a memorable evening with the occasion enhanced by our experienced at this BBQ joint. Good job Slow & Low... read more

I love Slow and Low BBQ. Been going to the Cocoa Beach location for years now. Now that they have a location closer I was thrilled to give it a try. The pulled pork and sliced beef was moist and had a nice smokey taste. I really enjoyed the mac n cheese but the potato salad had way to much onion and made it somewhat unenjoyable. I was hoping the food would be as good as the original location, but no dice. Also the service here was a little off too and our server seemed very confused. When we arrived it seemed nobody knew who should seat us. Our server delivered plain tea instead of sweet. Forgot the garlic toast until the end of the meal. No butter for the sweet potato was ever delivered even after asking twice. I know that newly opened locations have obstacles. At least the food was good. I'll give it a try again after a few months. Hopefully much would have improved by then. read more

Service is terrible. Food is very mid. Not an enjoyable place altogether. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Honestly! As a food service professional I don't post reviews... I hate the negative ones! But in this case I MUST!! I will not be going back here! I was VERY disappointed! My pulled turkey was drier than a popcorn fart! I come from the belief that "good" BBQ shouldn't have to be smothered in sauce! It should be moist and tender as is... Hence the "slow and low" terminology! I had to drown the meat in sauce just so I could swallow it! See pic I posted! The sweet potato came wrapped in foil with a slit down the middle. Your potato doesn't really need to be cooked in foil, it's a waste of $$$ and labor! My potato had pieces of metal down inside of the part that was supposed to be edible!! WOW GUYS!! See pic I posted! Sadly, the greens were not very flavorful! And my corn muffins were dry AF! With no butter to moisten them up! Save time, money and the disappointment and go to Double D's, where the meat is moist and flavorful without being drowned in sauce!! Only thing I liked here was the shirts for sale up front! read more

The worst BBQ I have ever eaten. Meat was dry. Food was oily. Do not go here expecting good BBQ.

First time here we ordered the big pretzel came out burnt the burnt ends as appetizer for $9.99 had 6 small pieces in it. ( they weigh it she says) Brunswick stew is extremely spicy. Hubby ordered pulled colossal sandwich but got sliced instead server never came back to find out what was going. Till the end. She was nice but that's all.

Delicious food and good sized portions. We look forward to stopping by when we're in the area again!

Ordered for takeout. Spent $95 with tip for 3 meals and 3 additional sides/appetizers. Picked up and upon returning home I realized 1 complete meal and 2 of the sides/appetizers were missing. So after spending $95 including tip, have to drive back to restaurant, wait for the missing items and drive home and now the other 2 meals are completely cold. A simple checklist in the restaurant would have prevented all this mixup. I only wish I could have taken the tip back for my gas and time read more

Every time I order take out from them it is spot on! The people are so friendly and awesome! I tip well for such an awesome place!

i'm a local, I've been here many of times since my last review/visit. I usually come here for the wings. I came in on a Monday, 4/8/2019 after a call for a pickup order for 50 wings and waffle fries @ 8pm. Half was mild, and the other half was with the sweet fire flavor. Both of these flavors are the most popular out of all the flavors. When i got there about 8pm they were just getting everything together. As I was getting ready to pay the lady and she mentioned that the wings were fried a little hard, and asked if i wanted them to re-cook them. I said no, because i didn't have the time to wait for another 50 wings to be cooked. I requested a side of mild & sweet fire sauce because the wings did look a little dry in which they didn't charge me for. Therefore, i paid and left. Got home, we all was ready to eat, and begin to eat...but the wings were, not some but all the wings were fried hard, not just a little. Nobody liked the wings...they're still sitting in a fridge now. The sauce tasted great, but i never experienced this before here. I prefer my wings not be fried hard at all...but i didn't think it was a big deal when she told me they were fried "a little hard". Unfortunately this was not a great experience...I've had better here, and was a little upset we spent $55 for something we were not pleased with. read more
