Been a customer of Charlottes Rib for nearly 40 years. Although they have moved locations the food is just the same – excellent. This is a hidden BBQ secret if you are not familiar with this restaurant. They employees are family and you will certainly get to recognize them every time they are in. My favorite is their sliced beef brisket. Keep up the good work!

Best St.Louis style BBQ in the area! Family owned and operated for 40+ years and some of the friendliest people you will meet. Named after their famous grandmother Charlotte Peters.

I thought I was back in Texas for a moment. Friendly people, great atmosphere and some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The beef brisket was tender and had a great smokey flavor. The baked beans and cole slaw were equally as good. You wont be disappointed!

I had the brisket plate with their fries and slaw, and everything was just excellent. We were able to get extra sauce for our meat, and it was just a very good meal all around. The service was outstanding, and prompt. Overall, I have to give Charlotte’s Rib 5 stars. We will be back, again.

First time customer. Just left after eating my meal and had to write a review because of how great my food was. Opted for the smoked hot wings and baked beans. Beans were classic smoke flavor with bacon, not much heat at all (suited me just fine). The wings were phenomenal! The hot sauce is special. Can easily be identified as postmaster crafted sauce. Perfect use of lemons in the cooking process to tame the nostrils but still offer heat. Well done! I will definitely be back soon.

Friendly, good service, nice atmosphere…it’s just too bad about the meat. “so bad and such small portions!” The restaurant smelled of smoke (a good sign), it’s just too bad it didn’t carry over into the meat.

We had a long drive and decided to try some St Louis bbq and we were not disappointed. We tried the ribs, ham, brisket, chicken, bbq Sammy with fries, potato salad and finished with the blackberry cobbler. It was delicious. Lisa was great and helpful and a real pleasure to meet!!! When on a long journey it makes a big difference to be treated like you’re at home, and she did that for us. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Service was very prompt/good. Online ordering was easy and order was accurate. Food was ok. If you’re looking for traditional bbq – this is it. Coleslaw was very good, but was underwhelmed with other parts of the order – that was the consensus from our party.

Happen to need a restaurant when we were not to far from Charlotte’s. Very small, family run place, lots of awards for their fare on the walls and shelves. The half rack and a portion of other smoked meat/pork was more than enough for two. We initially thought it was way too much to eat in one sitting, but it was so good and tasty that we ploughed through it all. Of course, it was too much, but what the heck, it was goooood.

We were pretty excited to get some ribs, but when we had questions about our options that the young woman behind the register didn’t have answers for an older woman with a pretty awful attitude came out to “help” us. By the time she had put our order in we were no longer interested in giving them money. Cancled our order and went to great rib house with happy service.
