“We came here for the snoots (pig nose grilled to a crisp and covered in bbq sauce).“The secret is in the sauce” is painted on the wall outside the restaurant, and I would agree this is the case! The tomato based bbq sauce is wonderfully tangy and also has a molasses like a quality with subtle hints of garlic, brown sugar, and onion. I do wish the pig snouts were cut into smaller pieces, as the large size can make them difficult to chew; some of the smaller pieces were absolutely perfect ?! I do recommend eating snoots fresh because once they get stale they can lose their characteristics crunchy quality“
“A little too small for me, but I always still find myself going there ... ? The food has been famous for years, if you are down for a challenge, go there and order the big mama burger , it is the most massive thing that I have ever encountered, and it's always good! The atmosphere around the bar side , is always a dope vibe, if you are looking for a nostalgic good time, I suggest you go and place a visit.“
“Wen't for the first time today because of the good reviews i read an i must admit the food was fyeeeee lol. Im not from here but when im back in the area i will make sure i go back. This place is a must try folks you will not be disappointed!!“
“I've never lived in IL but I do work in IL and have been around this area all my life. I used to eat at Big Mama's when they had a Belleville location and we carry out from the Washington Park location every now and then. Today I ordered the Snoot Tip Combo with spicy sauce. It's a full snoot and 1/2 lb of tips on top of two slices of white bread. The sauce is basically Maull's BBQ but spicier. It doesn't get more St. Louis than this folks! Anyway about once every year or two I'll order this. Today it hit the spot. I'm also a fan of the pulled pork which is my regular order. Don't skip the desserts here!“
