“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!“

“Salt + Smoke Ellisville recently hosted a Southern Wine pairing event that was nothing short of exceptional. One of the two owners personally hosted the evening, even taking the time to refill drinks, which added a personal touch to the experience. The intimate setting, with only 14 guests at the table, made the event feel exclusive and cozy, allowing us to connect with fellow diners and share plenty of laughs. The menu was a delightful journey through Southern flavors, featuring cheesy jalapeño cornbread with hot honey, a hearty seafood and sausage gumbo, smoked chicken with grits and greens, and a decadent peach cobbler with bourbon butter pecan ice cream. Each dish was served in generous portions, ensuring no one left hungry. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Salt + Smoke provided an unforgettable evening filled with delicious food, great company, and a genuine sense of camaraderie. I highly recommend attending one of these exclusive events the next time they have one!“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“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“

“This is my second time getting some food from this facility. The first time the food was cooked to perfection but it wasn't seasoned. This time the food was fesh off the grill but not cooked all the way. I don't think there will be a third time.“

“I love Bandanas in Arnold! Today when I walked in, I was watching how quickly everyone was moving to keep people served, and it occurred to me this restaurant works with more urgency than any emergency room I have been in. The wait staff and kitchen are quick and friendly and the food is wonderful! Always a great experience here.“

“Always amazing food and outstanding customer service!“

“I came by yesterday with a friend who had never been. I got a rib tip combo and potato salad. I ate some for lunch, went by a friend house, she ate some, ate for dinner and I will eat the rest for lunch. My friend couldn't stop talking about how fresh and food it was.“

“Tips, Greens and Spaghetti!!! 🙌🏽“

“Tuesdae was our waitress, she was very kind and accommodating. My child loved being called the “captain” of the table! Thank you for a great experience!“

“muy sabrosa la comida recomendado....“

“Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! I'm from the south so that says alot!“

“My family and I have been going here weekly for years. The staff is awesome and kind. The selection of beer and Liqour is amazing and the food is delicious.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“Not only was the food amazing, but we received first class service from our server, Travis!!! VERY fresh & delicious food with a large menu, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 100% recommend.“

“I ordered the corned beef sandwich with french fries and a pickle spear. I received a thick stack of corned beef which was nice. The corned beef had more fat in it than I like. The french fries were not cooked enough. I could tell by the color then confirmed when I bit into them. The french fries did not have the crunchy texture although they were seasoned well. I received great service at the bar. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it. They have a very large parking lot in front of the restaurant.“

“food is amazing and they have great service( shout out to Paige!!!)“

“As usual they won’t failed their costumers, our waitress so nice which I forget her name to asked🙈 but the time she noticed I am devouring the rolls, she asking us if we want more and yes she really good of her job.🙌🤓🥰 highly recommended“

“One of the best bar's and grill in stl great food drinks and bartender“

“The chicken tenders are large and very tasty!“

“The food is always amazing!! I try to go there every time I visit St. Louis.“

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

“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!“

“Very good food. I try BBQ in my work travels in every city and some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Love the sauce!!“

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

“I had the brisket Delicious! My husband had the Steak brisket. And he said it was delicious! I always love this place. It’s so fantastic! And the one in Arnold is like a little gem. Hidden away from all the other restaurants and there’s not tons of people in here all the time. The service is fast and the people here are so friendly!“

“i have been there several times and always call ahead for a table in the bar area. i love the bartender my drinks are always fast and taste good , i alway love the bands because it is a older group of peeps ,like me , but they are loud ,sit in the bar at the high tops and you can see all the bands and the peeps dancing and the girl bartending i think is jamie is so friendly“

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