Arcadia roots
Slim's Bar-B-Q has operated since 1957. That history sits on S Brevard Ave in Arcadia, at 319 S Brevard Ave, Arcadia, FL 34266, United States. The address places the restaurant in town, with a fixed spot that locals and visitors can find for repeat meals and first visits alike.
The Arcadia location matters because it anchors the restaurant as a steady part of the city’s dining map. It is a barbecue restaurant Arcadia FL diners can return to for lunch or dinner without guessing where to go. The address is plain and direct, and it keeps the place easy to place in memory: Slim's Bar-B-Q on S Brevard Ave.
A stop here starts with the building itself. Guests arrive at the address, park, and come in for a meal tied to a place that has stayed open through long stretches of Arcadia life. Back to the home page

Open through the week
Slim's Bar-B-Q keeps a clear weekly schedule. It opens Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM, then serves Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Monday is closed.
Those hours fit lunch and dinner on most days. A midday stop works on any open day, and the longer evening window gives room for a later meal after work or travel. Sunday runs shorter, so it suits an earlier lunch. The schedule gives the restaurant a regular rhythm without stretching into every day of the week.
The service model is simple. Guests can dine in, take away food, order delivery, or use on-site services. That range lets the same kitchen work for a table meal, a meal to carry out, or food sent out to another address. It also gives a guest room to choose the visit style first, then the timing. A quick pickup fits a busy day. A sit-down meal fits a slower one.
