This cafeteria-style (lunch only) joint in the Design District dishes up some serious barbecue, where options run the gamut from hickory-smoked chicken to sausages, pork ribs and brisket. And while Slow Bone might be best known for barbecue, you'd be hard-pressed to pass up on some of the other specialties, like Frito pie and a smoked pork chop that takes 3 weeks to make. Sides are a big focus here, too, and their Brussels sprouts-cauliflower gratin is a must. Oh, and did we mention they churn out some of the best fried chicken in town? Whatever you order, don't skip the cornbread pudding. Expect a line, so get here early before they run out.
