Low & Slow American BBQ

Low & Slow American BBQ sits on Commercial Road in historic Port Adelaide, and has become something of an institution for authentic American-style barbecue in the city. As the name promises, the focus is low-and-slow smoked meats — the kind of barbecue that takes hours of patient cooking — served in a relaxed, characterful setting in the old port.

The appeal is that dedication to proper, slow-smoked barbecue, a genuine point of difference that's earned it a devoted following well beyond Port Adelaide. Set among the heritage streetscapes of the port, it's a destination for barbecue lovers and a great excuse to explore one of Adelaide's most historic and atmospheric areas.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 1,600 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its many fans. Menus, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular barbecue spot can sell out of slow-cooked items and get busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking or arriving early before you head down — particularly if you've got your heart set on a specific cut or are coming with a group.
