Navin’s is what we’ve been waiting for in the St. Louis BBQ scene. Don’t walk, RUN! Come here regularly now and often get both the brisket and the burnt ends dinner as well as the sliced smoked turkey to take home. All their meat is offered by the pound and their sides are delicious too, especially the mashed potato salad. Also highly recommend the wings and any daily special they’re running.

If you’re on the hunt for an unassuming culinary gem in St. Louis, Navin’s BBQ is a must-visit. Tucked away in an ordinary-looking establishment, this place is the epitome of the phrase, ‘don’t judge a book by its cover.’ One step inside and you’re greeted by an inviting Southern/Midwestern ambiance, reminiscent of a scene straight out of House of Cards. The decor is modest, with regular wooden tables, chairs, and wall art that evokes a sense of homey charm.

Fantastic restaurant, I had the beef burnt ends and coleslaw and both were fantastic! The protein was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of smoke letting the beef flavor not get overwhelmed. My dining partner is a vegetarian and had the sandwich which was very good according to them.

1st timer and the atmosphere was great the customer service was horrible and the food was worst than horrible. No one greeted as we entered no thank you for your order just a stale face while ordering like we were bothering them. Food was fast but EVERYTHING super over seasoned Veggies and Meat!!!

I think the shinola melt is the best vegetarian bbq-esque sandwich I’ve ever had. The mac n cheese is a city hall of famer for me as well. I crave this meal often!

Went to try their special for Burger Week. The Smoked Pit Beef Sandwich was tasty. I plan on coming back for pulled pork. I did try their summer slaw and it was just ok.

A small restaurant that serves some tasty barbecue. You know it is good when you can see and smell the smokers. The meats are tender and juicy. The sides are a great compliment to the entrees. Service is minimal, but the employees are there if you need them.

The best bbq meat in the city (the meat is so good that I can’t highlight a favorite, they’re all highlights.) Chris and his team couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. When it came to my wedding reception, my wife and I both immediately thought of Navin’s.

Ok let’s just say the food was amazing!!! So delicious . When we pulled up and got out you could smell the bbq cooking and actually see someone outside cooking it ! (Big Plus) The chicken wings had good flavor and was cooked perfect. The Mac and cheese was soooo perfect! The crunch they put on the mac and cheese makes it even better (which I don’t know how). Got a Texas Twinkie and it was good. Also got a half pound of the burnt brisket ends. I never had them before and they were too fatty/chewy for me. I like my meat well done/tough lol. Staff was super friendly and nice. They threw in some Texas toast on the side. Bought a Groupon so I really got a great deal for everything! Would definitely be back and try some other meats. Next time a larger order of that Mac & cheese . Thank You Guys !!

♀️I saw this restaurant while searching for lunch today. I googled their menu and liked what I saw. I read the reviews; not one review less than 4 stars…so I went inside.
