About

Slows Bar Bq Grand Rapids opened in 2015, the first expansion outside of Detroit for the Corktown landmark. Slows GR features slow-cooked barbecue favorites like beef brisket, ribs, pulled pork, signature sandwiches & sides. As in Detroit, Slows is dedicated to craft beer with 30 taps available by the glass or growler. In addition Slows GR has a full bar with expertly crafted cocktails.

In November of 2017, Slows Grand Rapids responded to consistent customer demand by converting the entire dining room to full service. Slows Grand Rapids still offers call ahead carryout and can be found on your favorite delivery apps.
Slows Grand Rapids is a full-service caterer, able to host events on site or at your location. We'd love to discuss your event. Our catering and events staff can be reached at 616-454-1588 or email: events@slowsgr.com In 2020, we enclosed a portion of our dining room for a private event space.
