I love really creamy coleslaw. But I pretty much only eat it with fried catfish and occasionally with BBQ. I can't stand the crunchy less creamy stuff. I seem to enjoy it most from KFC, Charlestons and Grill on the Hill.

Don't usually eat it except with BBQ, but Jack's BBQ on 39th has some really good garlic slaw (supposedly "famous").

I always prefered the slaw that was served at HERMAN'S. Vinegar based, no mayo.

Yes, I will second this, never had the original, but have eaten the version that Uptown Grocery has, which is spicy and really awesome. Can be inconsistent, but when it's on, it's great.

Hefner Grill on the lake. Best I've ever had from a restaurant.

Jersey Boss,
You're showing your age, I think they closed in the 70's.

The Garage serves "Herman's" slaw. It is vinegar based.

The Garage serves "Herman's" slaw. It is vinegar based.And it is pretty good. We're gonna have to start going back to The Garage.

IMO, the Uptown Grocery version of Herman's slaw is better than The Garage's. I've had Uptown's about 4 times and The Garage's twice, and both times The Garage's wasn't as juicy nor as tasty/spicy as Uptown's.

Beware, it may take a few trips to get it, the one in The Village doesn't always have it in stock.

Ok. I go by that way fairly often.

I believe it was in the late 70's shortly after I relocated here.

OK. And I’ve been cheating a bit lately and going there for groceries.

Thanks for the suggestions! I bought Herman's at UpTown today and really liked it. It was a nice change of pace from a more creamy-based slaw. Appreciate you all for weighing-in!

Cole Slaw might be my number 1 food for the GIF where it says "How to best prepare/eat ______ food" and then you just open up the trash can and throw it away.

I'm repulsed by the fact that this thread exists :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
