This place is a must try. The food and service were great.My wife and I both ordered the Burnt Ends Sandwich with fries and wings for an appetizer. The Burnt Ends Sandwich was nice and tender. The wings were very good. I had to stop eating them so I would be able to eat my sandwich.The only negative thing was the sauce. I was not a big fan of the sauces, although the sauce that came on the sandwich worked well with the Burnt Ends. I'm not a fan of peppery or spicy sauces, and that's what they featured.I would visit this place again. I definitely would order their Burnt Ends by themselves and add a different type of BBQ sauce.

We came in with a party of 6 people they told us it would be 1 hour no big deal as we where waiting the lady working the door starts talking to the other worker and said that's a party of six so I told them a hour because I don't want to deal with that big of a group right now even though we have the room. That's when we left. They missed out on are money. You work for the customer it pays not to talk about them before you even let them in to eat. I'm in construction in stlouis and I will never recommend this place to anyone

Flavortown certifiedCame here to try the wings and wasn’t disappointed. Smoky, crispy, and not those terrible jumbo wings that a lot places use. These were the perfect size and of tremendous quality. Nothing necessarily special or unique about them but they really hit the spot due to their overall preparation. 8.4/10 Clucks.The ranch tasted and smelled like some basic, store bought, mass produced stuff which is surprising considering the level of effort put into everything else on the menu. Luckily I didn’t even need to use the ranch because the house made BBQ sauces are all SPECTACULAR. Every single one is vastly different from the next. A myriad of different flavor profiles to suit any palate. My favorites were the 7 chili and the ghost pepper.My girlfriend got the duck confit and the meatloaf. She loved them both.The fries were bland and limp, lacking a desirable level of crispiness.The peach cobbler tasted store bought and made with Pillsbury biscuit dough. A tad disappointing. Something in the dish, possibly the cast iron pan, made one of my bites taste abhorrent. I’m not sure what it was but it ruined my whole dessert experience. I’ll chalk that up as a fluke and won’t hold it against them.The cornbread was a bit sad because it had whole pieces of corn in it. I know some people like that but it just isn’t for me. I prefer a sweeter, homogenous, cornbread like they serve at Grace Meat + Three. That being said it was expertly crafted and if you like a more savory cornbread filled with whole pieces of corn then you’ll love this.The bacon was probably my favorite thing I ate all night. Thick, candied, and covered in walnuts. I wish the portion was larger considering the price but it was phenomenal nonetheless.Would recommend.

The outside was a little sketchy but the inside was very nice. Our waitress Charlotte was excellent. Recommended the burnt ends (my favorite) they did not disappoint! However, I could have made a meal on the Brussel sprouts. My daughter loved the pulled pork. The Mac n cheese was very creamy but needed a little more flavor. All in all I will be returning to this establishment. Not a fan of the cole slaw, once I covered it with BBQ sauce, it wasn't bad. I do wish you could substitute it for something else.

Fully smothered ribs were amazing. I could pass on the baked beans and coleslaw, too savory. 3 of the 6 bbq sauces were unique and great flavor. One was the cherry, the bourbon and the one with bigger pepper flakes.

Charlotte was a rockstar today! Due to some sick staff she was the only one working the tables. Once we got seated the food came out just as fast as if we were the only one in the restaurant. Kudos to the chef as well. He cooked great food and cleaned our table of dirty dishes. I think they had a total of 3 staff working and made everything run smoothly. Really impressed. Will definitely eat here again next time I am in town.

My husband and I came here on a date night and it was divine! Our server was Charlotte and she did a wonderful job ensuring we had everything we needed. Charlotte also did an excellent job explaining the various barbeque sauces and answering all of our questions. Beautiful atmosphere with romantic lighting and charming live music. Hope to come back very soon!

I know you lying! They must have ran out of salt. I didn't taste not one granule of seasoning, whatsoever. Mash potatoes? Wrong! They put chilli beans in watered down honey glaze and called it BBQ beans! Then they decided to offer fizzy syrup as a fountain drink. Then brought someone else a Coca Cola. I am totally disappointed. I think even more than when they cancelled the TV Show, Friends. We tried majority of the menu...
