Food was ready in less then 5 minutes after ordering. We ordered a full slab meal, a frito meal and a baked potato meal. It was all amazing!! Would definitely go back if I’m ever in town again!

We showed up about 1 and it took us about 30 minutes to get in but once we did we had our food in less then 5 minutes! We had a 1/2 order of ribs that were amazing! I see why they are the best in America by food network. They don’t even need sauce! We also had the chicken. Being a chicken lover I was not disappointed so flavorful and NOT dry at all. The brisket was ok not bad but being from Texas it was not my kind of brisket, it was lean and needed sauce for flavor but not bad… just not Texas brisket. Everyone was sooo kind we greatly enjoyed this place!

Nice local BBQ joint. We waited 40 minutes to get into the dining area. This is a popular place and the lines were long so plan accordingly. We talked with a couple ahead of us in line which was nice. We received our food about 5 minutes after ordering. The atmosphere was pleasant and I loved the decorations. The burnt ends were delicious and I didn’t need any extra sauce. I recommend getting the sweet potato fries, they were very tasty. I wish they served Mac N Cheese that would go great with any of the meats. I would eat here again.

If you’re ever in St. Louis, this is a must-try restaurant. I went on a friend’s recommendation, and a line of people were waiting to get in because of how popular it was.

Waited close to one hour to actually go in and place our order and be sorted, but it was definitely worth the wait! We ordered the ribs and they were soooo good, as for sides we ordered the fried corn on the cob, potato salad and fries (we have kids). I can see why they were voted Best Ribs in America by the Food Network. I like the system they have of waiting in line to order and pay but beforehand there is a staff member taking the number of people in your group to prepare a table. It’s very organized. I highly recommend coming here to have ones craving of ribs fulfilled.

Let me first say, we travel A LOT and we eat at restaurants often … This is by far the best BBQ we have ever had!!! Some places are ranked “top” this or that and don’t necessarily live up to the hype … This place DOES!!! My husband got the ribs and burnt ends and they were amazing!!! I got the pulled chicken and brisket … Delicious!!! Our kids got ribs and chowed down!! We made sure to order extra so we had leftovers and we are so glad we did!! Don’t walk, RUN to this place!! If we had to rank them we would say the ribs are #1, brisket #2, burnt ends come in on a close #3 and pulled chicken at #4, but really they were all amazing!!! The service was fast and friendly as well!! Unfortunately, we were just traveling through (we live in Ohio and were coming through on a road trip) otherwise we would definitely be eating here often!!!

Ordered the combo because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. The brisket was delicious. The ribs were so good and the bbq sauce options were a bonus. This place is very popular so be prepared to wait. Parking gets full really fast. Thankfully if you park across the street you just have to pay the meter. Stop by and check them out.

First rate. Ribs are always a great choice. The staff is so friendly, accommodating and professional. The portion was so big that it took me 45 minutes to finish the ribs, beans and a baked potato. Large portions and great flavor. Great staff.

The ribs!!! Oh my the best tasting ribs I’ve ever ate they fell off the bone.. I could cut through them with a plastic knife. And the flavor was amazing it didn’t even need sauce. But if you’re up for it the Carolina vinegar! It was my first time trying a vinegar sauce and it was delicious with the ribs. It was definitely worth the 5 hour drive

Everything about this place is awesome. The workers were super nice and helpful from the get go. The food may seem a little pricey but it’s definitely worth it. The ribs were the best. Each one of the sauces were great too. I highly suggest if you’re in the area to stop by. You won’t be disappointed!
