This is BBQ done to perfection. Hole in the wall in a strip mall, walls covered in the awards they have won. Cowboy-themed. I got ribs and brisket, both were delightful. They earned the 5 stars from me. Just enough bite, sauced just the right amount. Fried mushrooms and onion ring appetizer was deep fried to perfection. The only weak link to me was the coleslaw, which was drowning in oil and vinegar dressing, with too many conflicting herbs for my tastes (and this may be a regional thing because I like my southern style coleslaw--for all I know this is the best St. Louis style coleslaw around).

I thought I was back in Texas for a moment. Friendly people, great atmosphere and some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The beef brisket was tender and had a great smokey flavor. The baked beans and cole slaw were equally as good. You wont be disappointed!

Service was very prompt/good. Online ordering was easy and order was accurate. Food was ok. If you’re looking for traditional bbq - this is it. Coleslaw was very good, but was underwhelmed with other parts of the order - that was the consensus from our party.

Wow! They catered an event for us a week or so ago. Food, sides, and dessert were beyond anything we expected! Thank you Lisa for such a terrific job - we thoroughly enjoyed it all.

If you want a grandma home cooked style meal. Here ya go! They do everything in a ‘light’ manner. Very good bbq. Family style service.

I had the brisket plate with their fries and slaw, and everything was just excellent. We were able to get extra sauce for our meat, and it was just a very good meal all around. The service was outstanding, and prompt. Overall, I have to give Charlotte's Rib 5 stars. We will be back, again.

This place exceeded my very high expectations. The reason why my expectations are so high is I have family out in Kansas City. I realize that St. Louis is to Italian cuisine what Kansas City is to BBQ.

My husband and I enjoy everything we have tried at Charlotte's. Mostly to go. Efficient and fairly priced. Ribs and chicken especially good!!

My family has been enjoying Charlotte’s Rib for forty years and it consistently impresses me! The coleslaw is the best that I have ever placed in my mouth, hands down! The beef brisket as well as the pork steak, and baby back ribs are all family favorites! And by the way, try their French fried mushrooms and Jalapeño Poppers, both excellent. Charlotte’s Rib has catered numerous family gatherings for my family and out of town guests have consistently complemented us on the food. If I was on Death Row and was ordering my final meal on this earth, it would most probably be Charlotte’s Rib! Family owned and run, exceptionally sweet people to do business with.

Happen to need a restaurant when we were not to far from Charlotte's. Very small, family run place, lots of awards for their fare on the walls and shelves. The half rack and a portion of other smoked meat/pork was more than enough for two. We initially thought it was way too much to eat in one sitting, but it was so good and tasty that we ploughed through it all. Of course, it was too much, but what the heck, it was goooood.
Took a little trip over the holiday and a few places were closed or closed early but luckily this place was close and nearby my hotel. It didn't disappoint! I got the brisket dinner with a side of baked beans and their seasoned fries. Everything came out hot, fresh, and tasty. I'm happy I stopped by!

We had a long drive and decided to try some St Louis bbq and we were not disappointed. We tried the ribs, ham, brisket, chicken, bbq Sammy with fries, potato salad and finished with the blackberry cobbler. It was delicious. Lisa was great and helpful and a real pleasure to meet!!! When on a long journey it makes a big difference to be treated like you’re at home, and she did that for us. Thanks so much for a great experience!

I was starving and rather than getting my regular meal, I dropped by this place and got Pulled Pork BBQ lunch plate. It was very good and sure did hit the spot! I cannot wait to come back again.
