“I had heard about Pappy's for years before I actually went, which is embarrassing because it's not like I live that far. You hear enough people talk about a BBQ place like it's a life experience and you start to think they're being dramatic. They're not. The line was long when we got there, moved faster than expected, and everything after that was just really good food.
The baby back ribs are what this place is built on and they deserve the reputation. They come out dry-rubbed and slow smoked over apple and cherry wood, no sauce on them by default, and they don't need it. The bark has this slight sweetness from the wood and the rub and the meat underneath is tender without being fall-off-the-bone to the point of mushiness. There are four sauces on the table and you can go ahead and try them, but honestly the first rack I ate without any sauce at all and didn't feel like I was missing anything. The burnt ends were just perfect little caramelized cubes of beef that I kept eating until they were gone. The fried corn on the cob is a weird thing to talk about this much but I'm going to anyway because it's excellent, just a whole cob lightly battered and fried and it's hot and crunchy and a little sweet. We also got the baked beans which had plenty of meat mixed in and a good kick to them.
Counter service, seats yourself after ordering, loud and fun atmosphere. The place closes when the meat runs out so there's a hard daily limit. They're not going to reheat something to serve you the next day and that's the right call. Show up when they open if you can. I went back the following morning for an early lunch before driving out of St. Louis and had the pulled pork sandwich this time, which was simpler and still really good. There's something about the consistency here that you notice across visits, nothing feels like an off day or a rushed plate. The whole operation runs like they take it seriously but nobody in there looks like they're stressed about it, which is a hard combination to pull off.“

“Great food and great service. We had a very large group there for lunch after a funeral recently and it went really well. I’d recommend for lunch or hosting a large gathering. Thanks for the hospitality.“

“we moved from Knoxville Tn Olney IL a new months ago. When we came to st Louis for an event. A quick Google search lead us to the BEST BBQ we have ever had! living only 2and a half hrs away, st Louis has become our new favorite hang out. And Adam's is a must.“

“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!“

I had the pulled pork sandwich and my husband had the wings and potato salad. The food was wonderful and the service was great. We can't wait until next month!“

“Great bbq. Will be back. Great service“

“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.“

“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!“

“So I’d recommend Coy B Que but I was disappointed in my order today. I always get the tips sandwich. I was disappointed in the presentation this time. Usually the tips are chopped in a uniform manner and that’s how I like to enjoy them. This time it was just the tip meat pulled and I couldn’t tell if it was tip or not. My husband confirmed it was tip but just ripped apart. We didn’t care for that at all.“

“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.“

“The best BBQ! You won't regret it“

“Yes the food was great and I will be back thank you.“

“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!“

“The salmon was cooked very, very well, but could have used more seasoning. The rib appetizer came with the meal. It had good flavor, but was tough, maybe that’s St. Louis style(?) The server/bartender was great, but he needed more help. The girl that came in to ‘help’ was mostly talking to one customer while he handled the rest of the place, bar and tables. The cheesecake was delicious!“

“muy sabrosa la comida recomendado....“

“Absolutely fabulous fantastic BBQ even though they were out of sides other than fries those to were amazing. I had carry out so I can't speak about atmosphere but the rib tips and burnt ends where amazing. $17 a plate a ton of meat well worth the price.“

“Sawmill BBQ is located very close to our house, yet we’ve never tried it. Well, we just did the other evening, and LOVED it. Everything was bursting with flavor and the meat was beyond tender. Even the Cheeseburger was above average! All of the sides were devoured in minutes (green beans, fries, creamy coleslaw, garlic bread). Safe to say, we’d totally pick up from Sawmill again - or dine in (they have a large dining room, with live music sometimes I’ve heard!) :-)“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had the best experience the night before Mardi Gras. The staff was wonderful. We asked if they had boudin balls which was technically on the next days menu and we were not disappointed. Everything was soo good. Thank you for an exceptional meal. We will surely be back soon.“

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

“Awesome food and very warm on a cold day. Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.“

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

“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!“

“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 chicken tenders are large and very tasty!“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and our server Dina was the best!“
