- SPShelby Procko2 days ago5.0The BBQ was phenomenal! I had the cornbread, sweet potatos and brisket. It was a great find and smelling the meat on the smoker right outside was so enticing. I will mention the restrooms were a teensy bit scary. But the food was incredible. Will go again.
- BTBeatrice Torralba-Shakal4 days ago5.0A must visit when you come to STL! The ribs are fall off the bone. They’ve got a good selection of sauces. We left satisfied.
- BBBryanSep 26, 20265.0On top of the Smoked Philly with Brisket and Collard Greens, everyone we came across was super friendly and kind. We usually like trying new places wherever we go, but if we come back to St Louis, we'll be sure to find our way back here
- SSSeaWaSep 26, 20264.0The place is older inside but it gives it some charm. Everyone was very nice who works there. The BBQ ribs tips and brisket were delicious and so was the BBQ sauce. The greens were ok, not a ton of flavor. I didnt care much for the mac and cheese. All in all I would recommend trying this place.
- MMMackSep 12, 20265.0Family-run business, which I always love to support. I got the Sloppy Joe and my husband got the Philly with brisket. We both really enjoyed our meals! The owner is also very kind and his children (or extended family) are adorable and help with the place. The place itself is also really cool. Thanks for the yummy meal!
