Slows Bar BQ is no stranger to press. This beloved barbecue joint has appeared on multiple Travel Channel shows, including "Man v. Food" and Adam Richman’s "Best Sandwich in America". One of the most popular menu items at Slows Bar BQ is their Yardbird. This pulled chicken breast sandwich was selected by Adam Richman to compete on his "Best Sandwich in America" show. The Yardbird ranked as the best sandwich in the Great Lakes but ultimately finished second overall in the inaugural season of the show. Regardless, we can all agree this is a hell of a sandwich. Another notable sandwich at Slows Bar BQ is their Triple Threat Pork sandwich. Served on a poppy-seed bun, this whopping 1-pound sandwich includes applewood-smoked bacon, pulled pork and grilled ham. Staying away from their sandwiches, the Texas Style Beef Brisket is a must-try. This certified Angus beef brisket is dry-rubbed and smoked heavily before being sliced thin to order.
