I was looking for a place where I could take my dog. Not only did they bring him a bowl of water and some bacon, he could actually go inside. Mind you, he is a very well behaved and leashed gentleman. Beyond taking good care of my dog, we had some sliders that were amazing and perfectly cooked including buttery fillet mignon add garlic infused burger, well seasoned, crisp green beans, and my kid loved the chicken tenders. Finished off with some flourless chocolate torte that was rich and dark. It's on a corner in the Central West End, so sitting outside offers awesome people watching.This is going to be a new go+to.

We were looking for a fun place with good bbq and we found it. The staff made our night a great experience. The food made it an amazing night. The bbq pork slider was probably the best I’ve ever had. BBQ Parmesan ravioli has the best flavor. Everything our group ate was exceptional. Definitely recommend!

I arrived at 12 noon and they were just taking out the barbecue ribs. I was served by a very nice bartender named Yarold. The service, quality and flavor were great ?

Tyrone was amazing! Recommended the best food we had in a while!! Highly recommend.
I came here for the 1st time. I ordered 10 rib bones and when I got home I tried one. I was impressed because I love sauce. The rub was so good that I ate the ribs without sauce. Thumbs up guys.

My husband and I went here with our 2 year old about 730p. Excellent service, very inviting, went early enough before the bar started getting busy. The best pulled pork sandwiches, the pork was the most tender I have ever had! They make their Mac n cheese in house, also the best, great flavor and truly tasted homemade. Good fried cheese curds, and even better old fashioned!

For whatever reason they made my order to go when I was planning on dining in. Why would I ask if I could sit anywhere if I was ordering to

Was able to get a menu and order water after 10 minutes. Left 10 minutes later without water or being able to order. And it wasn’t crowded.
This has to be the coolest place ever! I just came for the St. Louis Ribs but I also saw they serve the Whiskey from the Band of Metallica. I never had a chance to try it till I went there. I was so happy to have food and the Metallica Whiskey. Also the staff is super friendly and you feel very welcomed!Go and check it out! The food is amazing, Whiskey was good and the people are just the best!

Ok buckle up, because this is one of the unique reviews I've penned in awhile. And I really hope the owner reads this.My friends and I were in St. Louis last weekend for the two Metallica concerts. Absolute bucket list, both shows were incredible. We stayed in the Central West End and BBQ Saloon was a few blocks from our hotel. We walked by a handful of times, but never ventured in.Turns out the dive bar a half block away we went to a few times was closed. Well, we were still riding high after the concert and we wanted to grab one more without the night coming to a close. What to do, what to do?As we approached BBQ Saloon (it looked closed), the owner walked out and said, "We're closed, but we're drinking," and welcomed us in with open arms.Was this...destiny? Quite possibly.We sat at the bar, the owner Phil turned the TV's back on, and asked what we were drinking. A beer for the friend on my left, a whiskey for the friend to my right and a classic American Bud Heavy for me. $21 for the three? In this economy? He could've charged us triple since we essentially reopened his bar.I'm not going to go into painstaking detail about our lengthy conversation, but this guy is a person who's meant to talk to people over a drink. Turns out he was a world champion bodybuilder in a previous life and had some fascinating stories to share with us bar rats.Our flights were less than 12 hours away. But before we decided it was quitting time I asked, "By the way, how's the food here? I'll have to try it next time I'm in town." He said it was damn good, and was disappointed we couldn't come back for lunch tomorrow before we departed.Then he goes, "Stay right there." He proceeds to walk into the kitchen and seconds later, returns with a dinosaur-sized rack of ribs wrapped in plastic wrap. I kid you not, a FULL RACK OF RIBS. He then tells me how to prepare them for when I return home. Obviously I'm ecstatic at this gesture.I asked how much I owed him. He said, "This one's on me." I said don't be ridiculous, that's completely unnecessary. We reopened your bar for god's sake. He replied, "Please I insist, I enjoyed talking with you guys."IF THIS ISN'T 5-STAR HOSPITALITY I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.So there we were. The three of us who already had one of the most amazing nights of our lives, only one-upped by Phil the bar owner who handed us a full rack of ribs at 1:30am. Has this happened to you? I promise you it hasn't.Considering I packed those ribs in my suitcase and they made it all the way back to Denver, I was honestly surprised they tasted as good as they did. He said they do a true STL-style rib. I can't deny how meaty and savory those ribs were.Thank you Phil for the engaging conversation and world class hospitality. I will never forget BBQ Saloon in St. Louis, Missouri.

Service was great. It was a very clean and well decorated place in a nice spot. The ribs for me were too fatty and chewy, and the bourbon baked beans were too heavy in the bourbon and light on the baked beans flavor. The Mac n cheese was decent. Probably wouldn’t return here despite the cleanliness and fantastic service.
