Smoking Barrels BBQ

I ordered delivery so I can’t say anything positive/negative about the service or atmosphere, but I think the food has a long way to go to be a respectable BBQ spot in this city. Ribs were crunchy dry and were just very disappointing. The brisket was cut super thin, but lacked a crust and didn’t really have any flavor. The sausage was similar, it wasn’t bad but just lacked anything worth mentioning. Midwest sauce tasted good, but was very thin and couldn’t save the ribs from how dry they were. There are better places in the area to get BBQ.

This is without a doubt the worst bbq ive ever had. It was so dry to the point it wasn't even edible. No seasoning. $15 for a small amount of meat, and a baby cup of bean. Go somewhere else this place is not worth it at all. We had the pulled chicken and pork, both horrible. Never going back

Recent got a $500+ catering order from this location. Not only was the entire process easy, start to finish, but everyone complimented the food during the party. The staff here were so welcoming and appreciative of the business, which was in stark contrast to our other attempts to solicit catering orders from other local BBQ restaurants. Would recommend this place to friends and family, as well as others who are looking for catering BBQ for their event!

I ordered two brisket meals, to go, with slaw and fries on both. Got home and both were missing fries. Called back and their solution was for me to come back to the restaurant. Hot fries with a cold meal . Not worth going back for. Matter of fact I don't think I'll go back again.

The food was absolutely dry and flavorless. Got the ribs. My wife got the brisket. The beans were Bush’s. How this place received over 4 stars is a wonder to me. So many better places for BBQ in St. Louis. This isn’t it.

I would have rated this place five stars on the food months ago but something happened with the chef or something. The waitress was interesting. She told us all about how she had worked there for 30 years on and off lol

If they get your order wrong they will take 0 accountability for it. They will insist that either you made the mistake or a driver did. Then they will proceed to talk down to you....so no I dont recommend.

I really wanted to like this place as it's close to my house and I love to support local, but I just cant. I went twice, thinking the first time was just a bad day but second time was even worse. They're passing off roasted chicken as bbq. This chicken absolutely never touched a smoker, not a hint of smoke flavor on it. Its terribly dry and under seasoned. Sides taste canned other than the green beans which were way too saltly. Even the buttered toast tasted dry, tough and old. The folks inside are very friendly and the service is quite fast but the food is just terrible. I have no clue how theyre still in business.
