Slow & Low Bar-B-Que (Cocoa Beach, FL)




Kyle's Order: Joel's Crazy Pork Sandwich w/ Fried Okra & Sweet Tea ($10.38)
Doop's Order: Low down and Dirty w/ Baked Beans and Sweet Tea ($8.67)



Kyle's Take: Slow and Low BBQ is located right off A1A and just across the street from the beach. They have an awesome and spacious patio and bar area right in front to enjoy the ocean air. However, we sat inside to avoid the 90 degree heat. The family environment was easily shown when the hostess's little daughter wanted to seat us all by herself. It was pretty cute. On the menu there is a large and somewhat unusual variety to choose from, ranging from Fried Pickle Chips to BBQ Nachos to Mahi Mahi. I decided to go on the unusual side and order a sandwich I'd had never seen before. Joel's CRazy Pork Sandwich consisted of pork, coleslaw, pickles, onions, cheese and special sauce......all together on a bun. It was a pretty good sized sandwich. The first few bites were a little different, but after that it was absolutely delicious. When you think about it, if you like coleslaw and you like pork, why wouldn't you like them together? The sandwich along with the fried okra filled me up completely. They had 4 sauces even though I didn't need them, Hot, Mild, Sweet and a Mustard sauce. They all seemed a little vinigary to me. The service was great as well, my tea never ran out. I'm a big fan of traditional style BBQ, but it's nice when a small place can put their own unique twist to it. Therefore, I'm a big fan of Slow and Low Bar-B-Que.

Doop's Take: If you enjoy BBQ and the beach... this is the place for you. Slow and Low is right on A1A in world famous Cocoa Beach, FL. As you walk in there are beach memorabilia all around. From surf boards on the roof to signs that point out which way the beach is. Slow and Low is a very friendly place to eat. We had a little girl seat us which was probably the cutest thing i've seen in a while. Our waitress was very cute too. She had an answer for every question we asked and was very helpful. I ordered the Low Down and Dirty which is like a sloppy joe type of sandwich with pork. The sandwich was good, maybe had too much sauce, but it was sloppy, which is never a bad thing!! The beans that came along with it were not the best. Very dry and had no taste. The sweet tea also wasn't that great. You could tell that they brew their own tea and they must have just brewed a new batch when they gave us tea because it was not sweet at all. As for the sauces, just like Kyle said, it had a little too much vinegar. Also, the hot sauce was not hot at all, it had a mild kick to it. All in all, it was a good place, it is always good to go to place that is not your ordinary BBQ joint. If you enjoy a friendly environment, cute waitress', and the beach right across the street, Slow and Low is the place for you!

Kyle's Beef: The Sauces had a little too much vinigar.
Doops' Beef: Tea wasn't that sweet and the beans did not have any flavor to them

Kyle's Rating: 8/10
Doop's Rating: 7.5/10 (. 5 cause the cute little girl who seated us!)
