“We were in town (from the Twin Cities) for the 2025 President's Day Classic, and had Hogtown Smokehouse cater a team (and parents) dinner for 30 in our hotel. Rico was fantastic in helping us out. Quick to respond to calls and emails. Gracious, and just wonderful altogether... and that's just the service. The food? The empty pans, told the story. Brisket, Turkey and Pork for meats. Mac & cheese, potato salad and beans for sides. EVERYTHING was amazing! I never right reviews, but Rico and staff deserve this one. If you're reading this, don't hesitate to give them a try. Thanks again, Rico!“

“Been driving passed this place for 5 years on my way home from work. What I learned is I been missing out for the last 5 years 😭. Just got 1lb of pulled pork and some sauce. 🔥 I purposely don’t order pulled pork at restaurants because it’s always dried out. Now I finally have a place to get delicious pulled pork. Does recommend! Can’t wait to try the other stuff!!“

“We just went for the first time tonight & hate we’ve missed out on going sooner! We are from Southern Indiana & it’s going to be hard to find anything to compare at home! Greg, Louis, and Eddie who were working the smoker when we left were so nice, told us all the ins and outs of the place, and truly take pride in their work. That pride is reflected in the delicious meal you’ll get! 10/10 recommend!“

“Red is the greatest“

“First time there the food was really good I got a double cheeseburger, my mom and her friend got a whole Jack plate too and it was really good they didn't really add no salt to the whole Jack plate though so, my son got a Philly cheese steak and he only ate half of it so wow and he can eat“

“Great BBQ just a short walk from Busch Stadium. I had the brisket with the green bean salad, and both were excellent. The brisket was tender, smoky, and full of flavor without needing much sauce, though I couldn't resist trying all four. The green bean salad was fresh and a nice balance to the meal. The bacon cheddar popover was also a great addition. Friendly service, quick food, and a relaxed atmosphere.“

“We love going to Bandanas! Always friendly service, and great food 👍“

“I eat here often bbq tips are fire, chili 🔥and the potato salad is off the chain. Go find out for yourself. You get your money worth“

“Pretty dang good. I've had their congee and their beef chow fun. BCF gets 5 stars, congee gets three; there was a considerable amount of hard, old-tasting, whole rice grains in it, and it was really lacking in flavor.

But the beef chow fun was great! Good presentation and reasonable prices. I would order their Beef Chow Fun again.“

“muy sabrosa la comida recomendado....“

“We've been here a handful of times. The new ownership made improvements to the interior and added more food options. The drinks are well made. The food is average and a bit overpriced. Staff is friendly, although a bit slow. The atmosphere fits a saloon/bar except for the smell of nail polish--from the nextdoor salon--that occasionally wafts through the vents.“

“Shoutout to Mr. Luis for being extra kind to our large family! We had a huge order but I never felt like we waited long! The food was delicious and I’m so bummed we do not have one closer to home! Our kids loved their sandwiches and everything else we ordered!“

“It’s a great experience with the spouse and for a small group of friends. Grilling is a most with the soups. 10/10🔥🔥🔥“

“The best BBQ! You won't regret it“

“It’s an iconic music venue! It’s a fun atmosphere- terrific music, friendly staff, good food- wonderful bar. No other place like it in the world!“

“This place is a neighborhood gem. It’s been our new place to have family birthday parties and the staff is always so welcoming. Some days I pop in for a quick lunch - the service is always great and the food is even better. So happy to have it in the Florissant community.“

“Loved the food. Drew had a fabulous musician, JD Hughes. And comedian, Phyllis Shulman. I will be back!!“

“First time here and it was DELICIOUS!! Staff is wonderful and the brisket is so tender and flavorful. The pulled pork was soft and awesome.“

“Atmosphere is friendly and very family oriented! Food is great and affordable! Owner does so many things for needy families and Veterans! Carry out available and ready quickly when cooking isn’t on your agenda!“

“One bite mannnnnn. I'm one bite in and writing this review. When I say this food is ridiculously good. Rib tips straight out of a dream. I've never had more tender than this. Sauce just A1. And it don't stop there. The baked beans???? 🔥🔥🔥 The potatoe salad??? Like your grandma's. I wish I could leave 10 stars.

And for the bougie people, this is not a corporate joint. Don't come here expecting what you'd expect at a chain establishment. Appreciate your local business and how it helps humanize and bring together the community it serves. Embrace the atmosphere just as we do the Chinese places on ever other corner. I mean this in the best light. & I will be back!“

“Love it here!! Great food and wonderful service!!“

“I came to visit St Louis and saw a video of this place on TikTok, and we got the oxtails with cabbage and yams which are so tasty the meat is very tender. My wife got the rib tips, Mac and yams and the Mac was amazing very cheesy. Definitely the place to check out“

“Amazing bbq sauce. It has been the same since I was a kid!“
