The actual meat was great, but could hardly taste the barbecue sauce. Our server didn't check in much, which was disappointing, overall, I'm glad we went :) We are not local, so completely relying on yelp reviews for best places in the area. read more

Slow and Low Bar B Que - American Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

What an amazing experience! The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal!!! Some of the best pulled pork we've eaten. The homemade desserts were amazing. If you visit Cocoa Beach, this stop is a must! read more

I can understand the mixed reviews, if you are coming here just for barbecue, you might be disappointed. The barbecue is good, but not the best I ever had. But remember, you are a block from the beach. This place is all about laid back atmosphere and great prices. I stop here for lunch almost daily when I'm in town. You really need to sit at the outdoor bar area. An excellent mix of locals and tourists. The staff is outstanding. Happy hour is a must with draft beer about 2 bucks, and 2 for 1! They really do have the best burger on the beach. Menu prices are very reasonable. I have been here 20+ times and never had a bad experience. read more

Good find. Who would think you would find a delicious homemade brat in cocoa beach? Their brat was as good as you find in Wisconsin. Ribs were fall off the bone tender. read more

Came here for dinner after work. The BBQ was pretty good. The ribs were tasty but the brisket was a little bland. The sides were fairly good. Our server was very attentive and helpful which was a nice thing. Slow & low is a pretty mellow, casual place to eat. I liked that. They had a full bar which is always a plus in a BBQ joint. I liked the place, but I think I will also try other places the next time I'm back. If you haven't been to Slow & low, I suggest you give it a try. It's worth a try. Nice job folks. read more

This is my go to place when family is in town! The outdoor atmosphere is awesome! Love the food and drinks. Ask for Shyla, as she knows the menu, is prompt and very attentive! We eat here probably three to four times a week and never tire of it! read more

Two words, The Hog! Best BBQ sandwich around. Mixed pulled pork and beef brisket in a spicey sauce. Great sides too! Outdoor area is great for Sunday football. All the games are on and they have beer specials. I've been here 100 times and never ate inside. If the smokers would leave it would be perfect. read more

Slow and Low Bar B Que - Bucket full of Rum makes a great drink on a hot day! - American Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Well, Yelp, you let me down. Decor: I guess they're going for a laid-back beach vibe, but it just comes across as run down. Service: Relatively friendly but slow and inattentive. No refills, had our credit card out and waiting for a good ten minutes before server came to bring the check. Menu: All the basics you'll find at any BBQ establishment. There was a lot of focus on "fun" drinks in souvenir glasses, that should be a clue. Food: Just terrible. All of our food came out at room temperature. Absolutely nothing was hot! The cornbread was dry and no butter was served with it. The toast was literally black on one side-completely burned and they served it like that. Green beans and baked beans looked and tasted like hospital cafeteria food. The pulled pork was more of a messy chop than pulled, and was FULL of fat pieces. Bland and dull, and all four sauces were unappealing. I definitely would not return, what a disappointment. read more

This place never fails! I had the brisket and it was very good. The atmosphere is cool, there's normally someone playing music out on the back deck which is nice to enjoy during dinner. The staff are very nice. This is once place that should not be missed during your visit to Cocoa Beach. read more

Slow and Low Bar B Que - Great Drinks! I chose the Blueberry Lemonade. - American Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

It seems like a local hang out ... bartender was super sweet Stephanie ... portions were on the smaller side .. everything was just ok.

Loved it! Highly recommend and very good value! One downer was the sauces. Not very good, but the meat is great!

11-20-15. Evening meal. Food was so-so. Service was iffy. Drinks were ordered for two of us. It took three tries to get it right. Our food was ordered first, in our group, but delivered last. Ribs were dry. Pork was plain. Sauce was typical. Took FOREVER to get the check. Then Cassandra took it back and over charged us an extra $20 dinner. I pointed out the error. It took FOREVER to get it corrected. Then I noticed an extra charge for Mac and Cheese. The meal came with two sides and that was one of them. I was told it was extra. That was not pointed out at time of order. I didn't argue. I just wanted out hours ago. But boxed Mac and Cheese wasn't worth the uncharged. The rum and cola was ridiculously priced also. Unfortunately the server ends up losing in this case. Neither I nor my wife intend to eat here ever again. read more

The food is quite good. Recommend the brisket and pulled pork. The sides seem like they come from a can or a box though. They are not tops in service as they're seemingly understaffed. Rare appearances by wait staff seem to be the norm, at least on the night we visited. So it is a great place to eat if you are on vacation and are in no hurry to get anywhere. read more

Awesome BBQ. My family and I go here as much as we possibly can whenever in Cocoa. I am originally from SC, where we have mustard based BBQ sauce mostly. slow and Low has a great one. Reminiscent of Maurice's in Columbia. If youve been there then you know what I'm talking about. You have to try the fried okra too! read more

I first have to say how wonderful our server was. His name was Joseph, and he was so polite, courteous, and on top of things. He was excellent from start to finish, and we have 2 small children so it can be hard to dine out. But he was fantastic and our drinks were refilled quickly, our food came out fast, and overall was a great experience. The live music was nice as well! I'd say the food was 4 stars, but Joseph more than made up for that. He's a true asset to their company and we will be back for sure! Thanks Joseph, you're a great server, keep up the good work! read more

Getting bbq on the beach side is very hard. I hate to say this but you might have a better chance going to Sonny's in Merritt Island and they are not great either. I have been here twice and they let me down again....the location in Viera is better far as service. read more

Staying in Cocoa Beach for a launch, I once again turned to the collective wisdom of Yelp and was once again rewarded! The food here is some great southern barbecue packaged in a very cool restaurant. The waitstaff is attentive and really accommodating (my friend has a gluten allergy and she checked to see if their biscuits would be OK for him). The pork here is the real hero, but I am sure the other meats hold up nicely. You know you're at a good bbq spot when they have 4 sauces on the table, and we were very pleased with all of them. They happened to have some live music out on the patio, too, and it was some great background (and good song selection)! If I ever find myself back here, I'll be back for sure. read more

Spent the day at the beach with the family. We decided to give this place a shot because we pass it all the time, on our way to our secret beach spot. ;) The decor is very cool and prevalent throughout the restaurant. It's very entertaining to read all of the little quirky signs throughout. :D After reading some Yelp reviews, I had to try the Joel's Crazy Pork Sandwich. It was VERY GOOD!! Nothing special about the fries, but the fried green tomatoes, corn fritters and fried pickles were also very good. I will definitely be back soon. I would love a crack at the 6 lb. Pulled Pork Sandwich! Lol! Do I get a t-shirt? read more

Slow and Low Bar B Que - American Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Came here during a week long vacation with a big group of people who do yearly and they always talked about coming here, so we came here the first day. We were sat outside at a huge round stone fire pit table which was really cool and had plenty of room for our group of 11 people. It was so good we came back a second time, some of us a third time! For drinks: I had a Surf Rat. I liked it a lot and got to keep the glass. We all ordered a few rounds of shots off their awesome shot menu, I tried something that I think had dragonfruit in it and it was really good and also got an Oatmeal Cookie and it was delicious! I also tried a Raspberry Kiss martini which was pretty good and something else that was made with peach liquor and champagne, it wasn't anything great but it wasn't bad either. Appetizers: We all got something different. I tried the fried jalapenos which were very good and not too spicy. The fried pickles were also excellent. I got onion rings and loved them, the regular ranch went better with those than the tiger sauce did. Entrees: The first time I got the combo because I couldn't decide what I wanted to get and it has a little of everything. It comes with ribs, brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and sides. It was all SO GOOD! The BBQ sauces were of course so good too. For my sides I got loaded garlic mashed potatoes which were amazing, and corn. The corn was literally swimming in butter which is gross but it was still edible. The second time I got a half rack of baby back ribs and they were so good it just fell right off the bone the way it should. I tried the green beans for my side and hated them, whatever they were seasoned with was not good. I tried both the garlic bread and corn muffin and recommend the garlic bread. Can't wait to come back next trip! read more

This place has great BBQ ribs and pulled pork, a decent selection of beer on tap and oftentimes live music. What more could you ask for? Indoor seating is quiet, so I usually head outside for the action. The waitresses are friendly and the service is prompt. I keep coming back every couple weeks or so... its the best BBQ place in cocoa beach. read more

In short: delicious, truly fall-off-the-bone BBQ, with good, cold beer. Prices were a little high but fair for the quantity and quality of food. We went around for a late lunch and ate at the outdoor bar tables patio. The bartender was our server, which I thought might go badly, but she was surprisingly friendly, attentive, and helpful. She even changed one of the tvs so we could watch a match. The outdoor area was very well air conditioned, such that I was actually chilly outdoors in 90 degree weather! Cold beer only improved that, but I thought it was pretty impressive in itself. The ribs were SO GOOD. I got the full rack and promptly inhaled it. I didn't get to try what my s.o. had, because he ate it before I could have a bite. That said, don't misunderstand me, the portions are very well-sized. You will not likely leave hungry. We actually went here because I was home all day and the Dustin's BBQ commercial kept playing over and over (THAT SONG!), so I was hypnotized into needing short ribs through absolutely no volition of my own. I have no idea where there's a Dustin's nearby, but we knew someone who worked as a server at Slow & Low, so it just fit into place. We got the inside scoop on this place through said friend, in that they really do slow cook their BBQ, take very good care of their ingredients, and have a care about their food. Next time I am "thinkin' barbecue," and have a little money to spend, I will look forward to heading to Slow and Low. read more

The staff is great, Kara was prompt and very attentive. The bbw was good, brisket was the best. Good spot to come eat, didn't blow me away. Still good food. read more

Good food, great atmosphere, sometimes the music can be a bit loud and the wait times for food is a bit long. If you want to pick get your food to go they take longer (I once waited over an hour). Other than that it's great! read more

Nice casual place with excellent barbeque. I tried the smoked turkey and Brunswick stew. Both were great!

My friend recommended this place. The prices are decent. It was $1 for draft bud light that day :) I got the pulled pork with, corn bread, and something else. my friend got some kind of beef. The food was just ok. I wouldn't order it again. Cornbread was really dry.. It's sooo quiet in there, they need music. I felt like I was eating in a ghost town with barely anyone in there and it being so quiet. read more

My mom has been raving about this restaurant for a while, so my boyfriend and I were excited to finally try it with her. As BBQ connoisseurs, we have some pretty big expectations when it comes to BBQ taste and flavor, and this restaurant meets them! To start, we were all in the mood to drink, so my mom ordered Cruzan Voodoo Juice for us to share. It came in a tiny 20 oz. bucket you get to keep and is one of those sweet, potent drinks where the alcohol can't be tasted. One of my disappointments was that there was nothing special about the bucket you get to keep. It wasn't branded with anything (the restaurant's name, alcohol, something!) and was just a generic bucket. The waitress said it used to be a Malibu bucket, but they stopped giving those away (probably to cut costs). If you are going to charge $12 for a specialty drink that comes in a bucket and advertise that you get to keep the bucket, at least make it exciting for the customer and have some type of branding on it! Afterall, souvenirs like that make for interesting stories and can lead to positive word of mouth marketing! The Cruzan Voodoo Juice also had a lot of ice in it, so we felt a bit ripped off. We did end up ordering a second one though because it was so good. When it came time to give us the buckets to take home, the waitress did make them cute by tying a little ribbon on each. For my meal, I ordered the Slow Smoked BBQ Salad with pulled pork. The waitress offered me Texas toast, cornbread, or one of each, so I chose one of each. I picked Oil and Vinegar for my salad dressing. My boyfriend ordered The Hog (minus the onions, add jalapeños and cole slaw), and my mom got the to-go LB Beef Brisket special and fried okra. The manager had to approve her ordering this in house since it is a to-go item, and ultimately let her do so, but the exception meant it had to be served in a styrofoam cup. I really enjoyed my salad, and I didn't even really use or need much dressing on it since the flavor of the pork was so good. The Texas toast was like any other, and the cornbread was actually a muffin and pretty good although I've had better. I tried my mom's brisket and also liked that. The fried okra was homemade and some of the best I've ever had. I didn't get a chance to try my boyfriend's sandwich, and he said he liked it but it didn't quite meet his expectations. He was trying to mimic a sandwich we both like at another BBQ joint in Daytona, and this one didn't do the trick because the coleslaw was different, and the sandwich was served on a hoagie roll over bun which he wasn't fond of. I will definitely be back since I plan to spend some more time in Cocoa. I also hear they have a good happy hour here. Anyone who doesn't like this place just can't recognize good BBQ. The only things preventing me from giving it 5 stars are the experience and fact that my heart still belongs to another BBQ joint that is just a tad more special (Charlie and Jake's in Melbourne). read more

Great local hang out. exellent local entertainment. Has had a history of havng best bartenders in town. If you want to go and have a few drinks and enjoy the Florida weather than hang out at the tiki bar. You can eat outside or have a quiet meal inside. Friendly service with good southern smoked bbq but you will be in for a treat if you never had smoked baby back ribs. These are hand down the best ribs in Brevard county if not central Florida. I strongly suggest them. Briskit is dang good too. Trust the locals. this is the place for good dinner and drinks. read more

Slow and Low Bar B Que - Live music by Matt Riley every thursday. - American Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We vacation in Cocoa Beach every two years and religiously stop here a few times throughout the course of the week. I've had a little bit of everything so it's hard to provide a favorite. The ribs are amazing! My sister's go-to is the southwest burger. The combo is awesome because it's a nice "little" sampler. You can't go wrong with the appetizers! We've had fried jalapenos, coconut shrimp (omigawd!), onion rings, wings, and fried pickle chips. The jalapenos and onion rings are always a must for us. This place is definitely one of the things we really look forward to while vacationing, so much that we talk about it throughout our 12+ hour car ride down! read more

Total crap! Disgusting old dried out food. Sauces are watered down. Blue cheese dressing was watered down and had no flavor. Won't be back. My husband got the rib dinner. It was like jerky. Meat would come off of the bones. I got the burnt ends. Horrible. No flavor. Dry. Don't waste your time or money at this location. Never came back to check on us after getting food. No refills on drinks either. read more

Great stop right off the main road! The food was great! We had the buffalo shrimp, baby back ribs, and buffalo chicken sandwich and it was all fantastic. Would definitely come back if we visit again! read more

Best BBQ in Brevard County by far. And we've tried them all. Get the St Louis Ribs. Smoked perfectly every time. The Joels Crazy sandwich is just down and dirty. The smoked turkey leg! Yum! The 1/2 chicken us my go to standard. Always perfect, tender and juicy. And try some fried jalapeños! read more

Turkey leg was dry, chicken needed a sauce also dry, we wanted burnt ends but they were out of those. Too many other great establishments to bother going back a 2nd time. Server was nice. read more

Just got in from Orlando and looking for a place that would fit our dietary needs, BBQ is always a go to. Tried the ribs- they were phenomena! Feel right off the bone and tender and moist, great flavor. Plenty of different sauces to go with it. The only thing that might be an area to work on, the sauces were a little mild, and even hotter option would be great! Will return any chance we get! Recommend the Baby Back Ribs, the turnip greens, and the green beans! Suzzie was a fabulous waitress! read more

Definitely one of the better BBQ places in Cocoa Beach, as I've been there a few times, and will continue to go back. The sides are great too. I've tired all of them at least once, but I really like the Turnip Greens ! Sorry, I'm a rib fan, the St. Louis Style Ribs and Babyback Ribs rock are my typical orders. And of course BEER !!!!!! read more

Wow! I ate at "slow and low" for the first time today! Amazing barbecue pulled pork so tender and great flavor! You don't even need the barbecue sauce even though the sweet barbecue sauce is phenomenal! Also the baked beans and coleslaw were Yum!!!
