"A roadhouse-style bar and restaurant known for its chili, this Georgetown favorite is closing after February 20 as its owners prepare to move to California." - Harry Cheadle
"This is a pretty convincing replica of a Southern-style roadhouse, complete with sticky floors, six shooters mounted on the walls, and clunky-but-energetic bar bands that occasionally battle with feedback. The party energy is cranked up even on dreary nights, so grab that draft of Shiner Bock and embrace it." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"This bar located on an otherwise sleepy stretch of First Avenue South is a pretty convincing replica of a Southern-style roadhouse. It has sticky floors, six shooters mounted on the walls, and clunky-but-energetic bar bands that occasionally battle with feedback. The party vibe is cranked up even on dreary nights, so grab that draft of Shiner Bock and embrace it. Just note that you may need to eat before most shows here—Slim's serves a decently sized menu focused on chili, but the kitchen closes at 8pm." - Gabe Guarente
"Like the Central Saloon, Slim’s is a place where the menu and the music feel thematically aligned. In this case, it’s rockabilly and chili. Now, chili can either be a haphazard collection of cans opened up and poured into a crock pot, or it can be a deeply warming, scratch-made stew that derives rich flavor from dried and fresh chilies, rendered fat, and patient reduction; a dish that takes time and real effort to make. Slim’s is bringing the latter, of course, and in four different varieties: There’s all-beef Texas Red for purists, a smoky brisket and red bean version, pork chile verde, and a much less Southern turkey and white bean chili, all served straight-up, or atop a choice of white cheddar grits or jalapeno mac and cheese. There’s no wrong answer there, but if you aren’t up for chili, the crawfish po’boy is an excellent alternative." - Mark DeJoy
"The owners, Michael and Celeste Lucas, say they will be focusing on Slim's Last Chance, the roadhouse next door, after Pig Iron's closure." - Harry Cheadle
