We’re letting the smoke fly five days a week!

Slow Hand is now open Tuesday through Saturday 11am-8pm for indoor dining and carryout.

 Family Meals and A la Carte

A BBQ JOINT IN THE HEIGHTS DISHING UP SMOKED MEATS, GOOD EATS, GREAT BEER AND JUICY DRINKS.

We smoke our barbecue the old school way with plenty of oak wood and time, adding the right amount of salt and spice to let that lovely marriage of process and product evolve into something transcendent.

Our barbeque is served market-style alongside a full bar & a Jones Soda/Cheerwine fountain.

[ Subject to change at any time due to the local, seasonal nature of our sourcing ]

Slow Hand proudly serves up slow-smoked Midwestern BBQ, paired with housemade sides & desserts in our from-scratch kitchen, with ingredients that are almost entirely locally sourced.

Our full bar features great domestics & craft beers, an impressive wine list, carefully crafted cocktails & adult slushies. The bar menu is infused with seasonal ingredients that complement the high-quality smoked meats, housemade side dishes & sultry desserts.

We are fortunate to have partnered with some amazing local farms to bring you the best product you can find anywhere. Our partners include Spence Farms and Kilgus Farmstead of Fairbury, Illinois, and many other local providers and producers.
