Local Spotlight – Slope’s BBQ

The BBQ That Keeps You Coming Back

From the moment you step inside, the aroma of hickory smoke greets you — a signature of Slope’s style. They hickory-smoke their meats to get that beautiful smoke-ring and deep flavor.

Whether it’s the chopped chicken plate with two sides, the hearty beef brisket, or the fall-off-the-bone ribs, Slope’s hits the mark. Their sides — from mac-n-cheese to Brunswick stew — round out the meal. According to one local review:

“Their hickory‐smoked meats are tender and flavorful…and collard greens and banana pudding for true Georgia comfort.”

It’s that combination of premium meat, smoking technique, and welcoming atmosphere that has made Slope’s a go-to for BBQ lovers in Roswell.

Family-Built, Home-Style Heart

The story behind Slope’s is as authentic as the flavor. Founder Bob White began in 1990 with a simple take-out spot in Hickory Flat, Georgia — a converted two-chair barber shop no less. With his wife, Marlene, Bob turned his passion for cooking into a full-time BBQ business in Roswell by January 1991.

Though the franchise expanded over the years, the original Roswell location remains rooted in that same family-run spirit. That means when you eat here, you’re not just getting good BBQ — you’re eating where the community knows your name, where lunch-bunch regulars gather, and where the team treats you like family.

Why Slope’s Stands Out in Roswell

  • Consistency & Quality: From the smoke-ring to the leaner cuts and the variety of signature sauces (classic, mustard, hot, sweet & savory), Slope’s doubles down on flavor without going overboard.
  • Warm, welcoming setting: The vibe is family-friendly, with parking, wheelchair accessibility, and a local feel, making it ideal for a casual meal or a hearty take-out.
  • Community Favorite: Featured among Roswell’s top BBQ spots, Slope’s has earned its reputation for satisfying plates, encouraging customer loyalty, and capturing that Southern comfort-food essence.

Tips Before You Go

  • Arrive hungry — the portions are generous.
  • Try one of their signature sauces; they give you a variety of flavor profiles to match your mood.
  • Don’t skip the sides — things like banana pudding and Brunswick stew get high marks.
  • If you’re planning for a group or event, ask about their catering options. Slope’s does catering and has experience serving larger orders.

If you’re in or around Roswell and craving real Southern BBQ — the kind you’ll remember — make a stop at Slope’s BBQ Roswell. It’s more than just good food; it’s a local institution built on smoke, flavor, and family-fueled hospitality.
