We recently payed A visit to low and slow and we were very surprised by the food. We ordered the tomahawk steak and I was skeptic because I’ve had some bad experiences with other restaurants cooking my steak incorrectly so I mentioned it to our server Summer, she she quickly consoled me that the steak would be cooked to perfection and what do you know, it was A perfect medium rare just as I ordered it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great food and A nice clean environment! Last but not least our server Summer was very polite, very attentive and A master at her craft 10 out of 10 service. We will definitely be going back to try something different on the menu.

Low and Slow never misses. The barbecue? Absolutely incredible—just like always. Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Huge shoutout to April and Nicole, who were outstanding with their service—friendly, attentive, and full of good vibes. Juan and Tiffany were holding it down in the kitchen, serving up that smoky magic we all love. And as always, Kim greeted us with the warmest welcome that instantly makes you feel like family. If you’re searching for mouthwatering barbecue in a cozy, family-style setting, Low and Slow is the spot. Consistent. Delicious. Unforgettable.

The most amazing BBQ! The corn bread is like a light cake, yummy! Our family of four with a grandson shared the Texas Size Sampler and the Texas Trinity! Everything was prepared deliciously and I can’t believe I am saying this the sausage was my favorite but that does not diminish how wonderful all of the food was! The Green beans, collards , french fries, coleslaw and beans !!!!! What is really cool is they start you off with Pork Rinds with a really nice seasoning. Summer,our server, was a delight. Very knowledgeable about the food and very attentive! Highly recommend if you love BBQ this North Carolina Style BBQ is some of the best if not the best I have ever had!

Low and Slow Smokehouse is hands down one of the best barbecue spots I’ve ever been to! The food was absolutely amazing—especially the ribs, which were perfectly smoked, tender, and literally falling off the bone. Every bite was packed with rich, smoky flavor, and you could tell the meat was cooked with care. Our server, Laura, was fantastic—so kind, accommodating, and always ready to help with a smile. She made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make our experience great. And the heart behind the food? That comes straight from the incredible chef, Tiffany. Her passion and love for what she does truly shine through in every dish. You can taste the dedication in every bite, and it makes all the difference. If you’re looking for top-tier barbecue with amazing service, Low and Slow Smokehouse is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Recently we stopped at Low and Slow Smokehouse to check out their food and drinks. Our server, Tammy, did a great job in taking care of us. She took her time to explain the menu and the buffet that was available. We chose to go with a few menu items - brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The brisket was served without any sauce on it which allowed us to be able to taste the terrific smoky BBQ flavor. It was served with baked beans and cornbread. The pulled pork was very tasty and tender. It was served with coleslaw, Mac & Cheese and cornbread. The Mac & Cheese was so delicious. We enjoyed tasting the multiple BBQ sauces that were served on the side - Alabama White, Spicy, Georgia Peach and their regular BBQ sauce. We liked all of the sauces that were offered. We definitely will be returning to Low and Slow Smokehouse for their delicious food.

This place is amazing! It was our first time here and surely don't plan on it being our last time. You can smell the smoke grill in the parking lot as you walk in. Stacey is amazing&was our server! She recommended the Dino Rib which 10/10 recommend. It does take longer to get the food because it's freshly made to order. The brisket was really good as well. I finally found my go to place for Brisket. The mashed potatoes were home made&flavorful. Ask for Stacey if you go..your drinks will be filled, she'll consistently check on your needs. Very well pleased.

Me and my husband were just driving down the road and we saw buffet and we pulled a hard right into the parking lot. We were greeted by a lovely waitress named April. She went over and beyond to show us awesome hospitality. We also met Tiffany the chef and Kim the owner. They all showed us so much love and respect. We didn’t want for anything. Aww let’s not forget the banana pudding which you must try before you leave. 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend.

By far the best steak I’ve had in a long time.. maybe ever. I typically get the same food to keep everything consistent. I’ve tried restaurants from New York to Florida.
