Old Slo BBQ Co. generally receives positive feedback for its friendly service and unique self-serve beer and wine wall. Many visitors enjoy the casual atmosphere and the novelty of sampling various local drinks at their own pace. The pulled pork sandwiches are frequently highlighted for their quality, particularly the soft texture of the buns. However, opinions on the food can be mixed; while some praise the award-winning tri-tip, others have found certain dishes like the sandwiches to be dry or the fries overly salty. There are occasional reports of inconsistencies with order temperatures and side dishes during busy periods. Despite these occasional critiques, the attentive staff and interactive dining experience keep it a popular destination in San Luis Obispo.
