It was my first time at L&S last night and it was terrific. Firstly, the service is a real standout with attentive and friendly folk helping with drinks and food suggestions. Between two of us, we had the feed me option which was more than enough especially with the four slides. Everything was delicious - please open a venue in the city!

Just has dinner here. Their food is very yummy. Beef and port ribs are tender. Salad is fresh. They asked about allergies. I didn't expect they would ask about allergies. So it was very warm-hearted.

Date night and we were in the mood for some old fashioned American BBQ, so we headed down to Port Adelaide to Low and Slow.. the service was great.. they made sure we were enjoying the night by checking up on us to see how it was going and if we wanted anything else.. I started off with a moonshine lemonade which packs a punch.. was very tasty while my husband had a very smooth whiskey.. we ordered the “ let us feed you “ which was great.. the tastes were amazing from the sauces to the brisket.. we did order the bread and butter pickles and it was a let down.. as we only got 1 pickle cut in half.. the tater tots and the gravy is a must.. we will be ordering more of these next time.. the plate looked small and we still felt a bit peckish so we went with the cheesecake of the night for dessert.. and omg.. it was a PB&J cheesecake.. and I pretty sure it was a grape flavoured jelly topping with the peanut butter base on a very nice firm yet soft cookie base.. by the time we left we could barely walk.. the whole meal was fantastic.. the atmosphere is different with odd things on the walls.. but we didn’t mind.. highly recommend and we will be back for more.. ( make sure you book a table as it gets busy )

Had an indoor table last night. Venue is cosy, warm and inviting and very well thought out, from the tables to the wall decor. You can smell the smoked meats, but it isn't cloying or overpowering. The limited indoor tables make for a more attentive and intimate dinner service. The staff are great at their jobs, service was impeccable, they're extremely friendly. We got the "let us feed you" selection of 5 meats and 4 sides for $62 per person. The portion sizes are decent, we had a table of 3 and the amount of food left us adequately stuffed lol. While the food was pleasant, it didnt quite hit the spot. We chose the apple slaw, mac and cheese, potato gems and corn bread from the list of sides. The apple slaw was average, and you couldn't taste the apple. The corn bread was dry and crumbly. On the other hand, the potato gems were satsifyingly crunchy, and the breading? Had decent seasoning. The mac and cheese was a real winner, thick cheese sauce and flavourful, the pasta is the straight cut short noodles, rather than corkscrew or typical macaroni noodles, but it works. Our favourite of the meat selection was the pork ribs, they were flavourful, juicy and melt in the mouth. The brisket was also decent, I enjoyed the crust, but was a little dryer compared to when we last had it. Still a solid option though. The pulled pork had decent flavour, but was on the dryer side. I do believe that its a fine line with pulled pork being dry or not though. The sausage links had great flavour, but the links weren't as snappy as i was expecting? The casing almost seemed stale in a way? And tough. I cannot personally attest to the buffalo chicken wings as im not a spicy girlie, but they were thoroughly enjoyed and rated in the top 3 things of the night. By far my favourite thing of the night was the American pie cocktail I had, I even ordered it again before we left lol. Very well balanced and the cinnamon rim really tied it all together. Overall, we'd come again due to the amazing service and venue vibes. And that delicious cocktail lol.

We just had one of the best dinner. Definitely coming back. Great food and even better service! Every dish was packed with flavor and served hot and fresh. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and warm hospitality!

I went on Saturday night and had to sit outside in the heat due to me being a party of 1. There was a lot of fly's. Unknown to me was the online reservation system they have, I recommend utilizing that through their website. I was also informed they were short handed, which I understand. The food was really good. I had the brisket, pulled pork, Mac 'n' Cheese, and corn bread, with the Lemon Cheesecake to go. I wanted to get the platter where you sample everything, but they said I needed a second person to be able to order that. I just do not understand why you guys could not do half portions and half price.

We booked for 2 on a Friday night and from arrival the service and atmosphere was great. We were seated and our drinks taken, with our meal out to us within 15 minutes!! We got the serve us platter and it is well worth it at $59pp. Honestly I was surprised at how good the whole experience was. I wouldn't bring my kids here, but for my wife and I, it was excellent! We took the leftovers back to the hotel for a late night feed! We were a 2 minute walk away at a nearby hotel.

Brisket was delicious. A must order item. The Rib was good too. Pork shoulder however was just okay and mac n cheese was too salty unfortunately. Super friendly staff!

A fab find on our Sunday outing. The Young Henry's beer was fab as always. But the food was just to die for. Mine was pulled pork, kransky and Mac 'n Cheese. Just fab. I also tried some of the too beef brisket and it was fab too. If I lived near here this would be my local go to food place!

Mac n cheese, pulled pork and apple slaw... oh my! Went there with friends and had the banquet ($35 per person and they bring out trays of food) and left a very happy lady. I absolutely loved the pulled pork, thought it was the winner out of the meats, and it went so well with the apple slaw. The mac n cheese was great, but serving sizes for the sides were a bit small (I ate 4 'serves' of mac n cheese and could easily have eaten more). The potato tots were salty and crispy and tasted great with the blue cheese dipping sauce. I absolutely hate blue cheese, but this sauce was great. The only disappointment for me was the beef brisket. It tasted nice but hadn't been cooked long enough so the fat hadn't broken down properly. Not a huge deal though as I was happy to keep going back to that delicious pulled pork. The staff were really great and the store itself had a really good vibe. If you're thinking of going I have two pieces of advice for you: 1. Book a table! They are really busy so you'll probably miss out if you don't book 2. Go as soon as they open! They only cook a certain amount of each item and sell out quite regularly. My husband went there once at 7pm and they'd already sold out of the beef brisket (they have a count on the wall that tells you how many of each are still available that night).

Places like this force me to over eat and roll outta there one happy woman! We had a group of 8 and opted for the banquet menu option - all the meats and 4 sides. This was a huuuuuuge amount of food. What we didn't eat we got to take home with us too! My picks were the ribs, chicken wings with blue cheese sauce, mac and cheese and the fried donut dessert. Like I said over eating is required in order to sample everything! Ill be back for sure!!

I FINALLY made it into Low and Slow, and man oh man I was not disappointed. They were booked out for two seatings, so I highly, HIGHLY recommend booking in advance. We were greeted by Angus who ran through the menu with us and got our drinks. The store is decorated with lots of cool bits and pieces hanging on the walls. We were taken care of the whole time we were there, with different staff checking in on us. Despite being busy our food came out on time and was so.damn.tasty. Being in a group is ideal as you can swap and taste each others meals, but the pulled pork and smoked kranksy are especially winners. Get some blue cheese sauce for the side and some potato salad (probably the best potato salad i've had since Berlin) I'll be back here very soon, not only is the food tasty and a good serving to price ratio, but Low and Slow has the tastiest barbecue in Adelaide -- a food truck success story, and they really deserve all the business their getting.

Low and Slow have got meat worked out. The ribs were the best I've ever eaten. Meat just fell off the bone. Not dry. Succulent. Delicious. Had the 3 sliders to taste. All were good. But the kransky was amazing. Next time i go back in just going to get link upon link of that smoked kransky. I never knew a sausage could be so fricken good. Apple slaw was light. Tots were yum. Had some of the burbon. Drinks on offer were crafty but nice. Want to go back and try Young Henry's cider. Will be going back. Inside if busy (which ìt mostly is) is loud. Would recommend sitting outside.

Carnivore and Hopps lovers unite! The name might be Low and Slow, but the food came out Fast and on tables (appropriately!). I went here with my housemate for her birthday dinner, and can i just say, this was a huge treat! Very naughty meals, but who eats like this everyday?? If you did, you might have some artery problems with the cholesterol and fats ----excuse my nursing brain, but who needs to talk about those in this review? We found making a decision on what to eat remarkably hard --- so many options of what to eat. But there is a saving grace: pay $75 in total, get a selection of all the best bits like the ribs and pulled pork, but you also get to choose 3 sides to accompany this. And 2-3 people could do this comfortably (the two of us took up about a meal worth of left over). Good old fashioned Americana food that has been deliciously cooked in all the bad-goodness that makes this food warm the belly and sedate the soul! Theres also a count down board that shows how many ribs are left in the place - so you know if they are still available or not... excellent! We paired our two plattered meals with a Young Henry's Large Ale - again, we generously shared this between the two of us. What more can you want? An additional fun feature - when mentioned that this was for my housemates birthday (get birthday goodies when you can I say!), they brought out a complimentary shot of bourbon with sweet pickle juice chaser. She did the whole lot!!!! I was so impressed. A great special treat or a blokes weekly feast!

Great Southern American BBQ style food, it's definitely worth trying the sides. The service is alway friendly and quick and they do take away. I always book, especially for a weekend because it gets packed. The earlier the better because first in best dressed and sometimes they get eaten out of the best stuff like the ribs and hot wings. They have a pretty good website where you can check out the menu and make a reservation.

Simply put, the best brisket out there. I have toured texas to eat BBQ and I thought nothing would come close but this place does. Great brisket with a fantastic smoke ring and bark. The sides are a good compliment to the food. The BBQ sauce they have is home made and to be honest I would happily drink the sauce straight and feel no shame. Its AMAZING good work to the team there always A class service.

I've eaten there twice in the last month and it's been great both times. The banquet is def the way to go, the highlights being the kranskys, ribs, pulled pork, man and cheese, apple slaw and tots. Book ahead and starve myself ourself during the day.

From Food Van to Store, Low and Slow (with the help from Renewal SA) have opened an Eatery in Port Adelaide, Near the Light House. It's working well too. It's certainly pulling in the locals for a good feed. We ordered some Take Away to share from their selection, We ordered some of the Pulled Pork, Brisket, Cheese Kransky and some Hot Wings. along with sides of Beans, Mac 'n' Cheese and Tots, Other side options include apple slaw, potato salad and collard greens. It's all very tasty Southern American Food. No, we didn't have room for the Slow Cooked Pork Ribs. It all tastes all pretty good, like a nice slow cook BBQ, the meats were all juicy and tender with a nice flavour. If you are hanging out down "The Port" for the evening, you could do worse...

Been looking forward to going here for sooooo long, and wasn't disappointed. The four in our group went for the $35 banquet-style feed each. To say it was delicious, melt in the mouth, fall off the bone heaven, would be an understatement! I have a son living in Texas, so I think I'm well qualified to speak about how well this food stacks up against the real thing. Go there. Eat - lots. And enjoy a gastronomic experience unrivalled in this style anywhere in Adelaide!!!

Walking from a car service my boyfriend recognized a friend in a food truck, lucky for him it was a burger vendor. Having considered himself a seasoned burger veteran he grabbed a pulled pork burger. Being a vego I got pretty restless at the prospect of him eating his dumb burger in front of me but to my surprise it came with a a small side of coleslaw, potato salad and a pickle! It was a cheap price to pay for the lot (13 dollars from memory?) and it felt good supporting a small Adelaide business. Whilst the burger was just plain pulled pork, no lettuce or dressings besides a little sauce I'm sure it would have tasted even more amazing with the sides chucked in but unfortunately for him it was girlfriend taxed. Worth grabbing if you're on the run and a bit of a burger fiend!

Amazing American style bbq. Their brisket is something else and they're not shy with the pickles if you ask for more - which I definitely do. We popped in about an hour before closing with a group of 8 and they made space for us and were super friendly - they didn't rush us or try to get us out the door, smiled and joked. The decor is unpretentious and simple - as it should be. The food is really excellent, and they also hooked me up with a very generous pour of 10yr Old Man R.I.P. Van Winkle which was delicious and a perfect way to end the evening. Highly recommended.

Come here if your after great American comfort food. Sensational slow cooked brisket, pulled pork and mouthwatering racks of ribs all complemented by assorted sides. I've been here 4 times and don't plan on stopping. The service could be much better as I've had to wait for a drink a couple of times, but the beers are cold and the hard lemonade is delicious. Where the service may lack the food more than makes up for it. Try everything it's all wonderful.

We saw the write up in the Weekend Paper - Ribs! Port Adelaide! - so tonight we decided to give them a try at short notice and were lucky to get a booking for two at the first sitting. I could sit here and write a long review, but I would just be repeating all the positive things said in every other review here. Read them all, roll them all together, and they give a fairly good assessment of just how awesome this experience was for us. We did the banquet for two as it was our first time and it was worth every mouthful. We even took a couple of the ribs home for lunch tomorrow as there was just to much for my lovely wife and I to finish. The apple slaw was refreshing light and very tasty. If they were selling the dipping sauce for the wings I'd have bought some to take home. The Dry Cider I personally found a but bland for my own taste, but then after discussing it with Angus(?) behind the bar, I added a wedge if fresh lime (squeezed and dropped into the glass) and 'wow' it just changed the cider from 'Errr, Ok' to 'Thank you Sir, May I have another . . .' While the food was awesome, the staff made the night. For a near full house, they seemed to have little trouble stopping and having a chat with everyone as they roamed the tables. We will definitely be back, and am already planning to drag family and friends there to sample the delights. Next time I will try something specific from the menu so I have some space to sample the desert menu. Must be time to think up some challenges for the boys - lamb? I think low and slow may well need to look for a larger venue.
