The inside of Slopes has a good country feeling. You order at the counter and can also choose to pick up some pork rinds. During the week you can choose to add an extra rib to your meal for just $1. Good deal. The ribs were just OK with a very mild smoky flavor. The pork was also just average. The chicken was very dry and they do not offer Beef.

The sides were hit or miss. Great Fried Okra, but the Jalapeno Cheese Grits was a miss. Mac and Cheese was blah. The Brunswick Stew was pretty soupy and had bits of corn meal it in. It got mixed reviews. If they have a dessert special, you should go for it. The Blackberry Cobbler was great.

Overall it is a mediocre BBQ place. I would eat there if I was meeting a group out for a meal.

Sandwich (0 side) $4.25
Plate (2 sides) $8.75
1/2 rack - $11
Extra Rib with Meal - $1

Comments: It is located in a shopping center and packed for lunch. The atmosphere just really didn't seemed to be attended to. Kind of like a chain usually is. The biggest attraction to me was the ability to add 1 rib to any plate for $1 (Up to 3 ribs), and I added 2. The Brunswick stew had a very thin consistency, but very tasty. I liked it. Mac & cheese was mediocre. The ribs had a hint of smokiness too them, but also a baked taste as well. It took away from them and left them average. The pulled pork was good. The tenderness of the pulled pork and ribs was average. Overall, this is a mediocre BBQ joint. Go here for a BBQ sandwich and some fries, but nothing more.

Comments: Order at counter. No Beef :(. I like the extra rib for $1. The chicken was dry. The Brunswick stew was soupy and had corn meal in it. I stopped eating it. Mac and cheese was not very cheesy. Pie was good.
