There is a new place in town for meat lovers and foodies. 

SlowBones Modern BBQ recently opened it's doors at its first location at 80 Mall Road in Burlington. The fast-casual restaurant is from the founder of Boston Market. 

The restaurant offers entrees including St. Louis Barbecue Ribs, grilled chicken, pulled pork, BBQ braised brisket, flame grilled shrimp burger. Sides include sweet potato pie, Panko Crusted Mac & Cheese, cornbread, smokey BBQ beans and maple smacked quinoa. There are also wraps, sandwiches, salads and desserts. 

Plates, which come with an entree and two sides, range in price from $7.50 to $11.95 for a small and $9.95 and $15.25 for a large. Most sandwiches are in the $7 to $8 range. 

"Slowbones focuses on making and providing food that is of the utmost quality, made with fresh, quality ingredients —never canned, no high fructose corn syrup, cage free chicken, natural pork and black angus beef," a release on the opening states. "Slowbones strives to fit into your life, with online ordering and a comprehensive yet easy to decipher menu adding to the ease of enjoying outstanding barbecue whenever you are in the mood."

“Barbecue is a genre that is really missing from the fast-casual game right now,” says founder Kip Kolow. “Slowbones will satisfy your craving for barbecue but also honor the way you want to eat. The exceptional quality of the ingredients and recipes, and our desire to honor your diet and lifestyle, is what makes Slowbones stand out.”

Slowbones uses only certified USDA Black Angus brisket, cage free chicken, all natural pulled pork. 

The restaurant also does takeout, catering, and bulk BBQ by the pound. 

SlowBones creates all sauces in house. The flavors include traditional BBQ sauces, in both mild and spicy, honey mustard, as well as specialty options like horseradish cream, tzatziki, and buffalo blue cheese. Bottled sauces are expected to be available for purchase by early 2014.

The restaurant will be open seven days a week, Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
