snoots so fire
I'm about to go get one now
I haven't eaten there yet. But my sister has and she said they are way better than Sandy's and Big Mama's BBQ
Yeah, I definitely recommend Cal's BBQ. My wife and I have searched for awhile for some great BBQ between Estl and St. Louis, and Cal's most definitely hit the mark. I don't even eat potato salad, but I tried it here and was amazed. Must return to try other food. 9/10.
