This place low-key broke our brains. We walked in thinking one thing and then found ourselves rethinking everything we thought we knew about burgers and BBQ.
If you’re the type of foodie who loves discovering hidden gems before everyone else does this is for you.
Enter the SLAB Burger. It’s their #1 seller, and for good reason. At first glance you’ll be questioning if it is actually a burger but just you wait until you take a bite. Hiding under a massive stack of BBQ baby back ribs is a juicy burger patty. It’s truly the combo you didn’t know you needed. From here, it is topped with onion straws and their signature SLAB sauce. *Chef’s kiss.* Honestly, now we’re wondering why this isn’t the standard everywhere.
Needless to say…SLAB is seriously redefining what a burger spot can be in Columbus.
But wait! You didn’t think this is the only reason to visit right?
Here are 4 more must-try items at SLAB:
1. Fall-Off-the-Bone Ribs
If some good old fashioned fall-off-the-bone ribs are what you’re craving, look no further. These bad boys will melt in your mouth and require no fighting to get to the tender meat. Choose from 1/3 Rack, 1/2 Rack, or Full Rack and get ready to grab a stack of napkins —you’re going to need them after all this sticky BBQ goodness.
2. Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich
Don’t sleep on this one. This beautifully blackened mahi mahi is bringing major flavor without feeling heavy. It’s layered spring mix, tomato, pickle, red onion, and dill tartar sauce for a fresh, bold, balanced sandwich you didn’t expect to fall in love with. Pair it with crispy French or Sweet Potato fries.
3. Seasonal Cocktails
This place doesn’t play when it comes to seasonal cocktails. Fan favorites? The Apple Butter Old Fashioned is a dangerous combo of Bourbon, apple butter, and honey crisp apple cider. For tequila drinkers, the Cinnamon Paloma is the seasonal fix you’ll crave again and again.
4. Rib Dip Sandwich
If you search “best French dip sandwich near me” a photo of this bad boy pops up. It’s cheesy, chewy, and flavorful. When you’re craving something savory and satisfying, you gotta give it a try. It’s a beloved sandwich around the world for good reason. SLAB’s version is slow roasted and served on havarti, toasted Bolillo bread, with plenty of pork jus for dipping. It’s messy in all the right ways.
Your New Go-To Date Night Spot
The vibe? Sexy but chill. It’s a perfect place to meet up for date night with your special someone, your bestie, or your entire friend group. Plus, there’s plenty of TVs if you’re trying to catch a game.
