IMHO the key of good coleslaw is to have the just right amount of mayo.... not too much else it becomes way toooo heavy. Good quality vinegar is also important.

Forgive me... I thought the stuff required some vinegar in the mix...

Oh, and to answer the OP's question, you should probably get between 4 and 8 ounces depending on the generosity of the food preparer.

Ask how large the side is and order accordingly. Maybe by the pint (I'm old), or cup. For a side--maybe 4-6 oz. I just picked some up at Fresh Market, and 14 oz. is supposed to be 3.5 servings. At a BBQ place, usually means 2 sides/person for takeout--the containers are tiny.

In Western North Carolina - any maybe the rest of the state as well, I avoid BBQ anywhere east of Shelby - the slaw is red and referred to as BBQ Slaw. I'm not sure what's in it - I don't think the red comes from BBQ sauce since it isn't that tangy. Get a pulled pork sandwich with that slaw, some hush puppies and a big ole glass of "ice" tea (never iced, ICE) and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven. Maybe some 'nana puddin' for desert if you have room.

Tons of people do in fact enjoy it with vinegar, it's a regional thing I suspect
I thought I was right....
