We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it! If you think this is anything other than spectacular there is something wrong with your pallet. We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.

The kitchen was inundated with to go orders per the manager. They sure don't focus on their dining customers The chicken was the best of my 2 meat combo; the pulled pork did not have a smoked flavor. Hubby's ribs were just ok, again not with smoked flavor, Corn casserole was dry and had no sweetness. The sauces on the table were all with a vinegar taste, even the sweet & smoky sauce. We had to flag down someone to refill our drinks. Overall, the prolonged wait was not worth it. Moving on to a different barbecue restaurant!!!! The bread pudding was okay.

Everyone was very nice while taking my order, payment, and the handoff. The rib tips were extremely tender, the Mac and cheese was so creamy and had a hint of sweetness which made it so unique. The chicken was fried perfectly. I wish the beans and rice had a little juice or sauce with it, next time I'd add a little gravy, and a more butter to the corn. Thanks for a delicious lunch, we will be back.

This is St. Louis barbecue, and by gosh, they've got the pig snoots to prove it. This is a place where you can bring home drive-thru BBQ for the whole family, and not feel like you just spent the better part of a day's wages. That's why. And did I mention they've got snoots?

Nostalgia! I haven't had snoots in a long time and it was…read morenostalgic to me to bite into one for the first time in almost a decade and a half. It's crispy and saucy. The snoot and rib tip combo is so worth it. All combos are $10.70. It's a lot of food for the price and it is well worth it. Next time I will get the brisket. The trick is to order inside because you do get your food faster. The drive thru line is super long bc all food is to order! There's not much seating inside but people mainly order and take their food to go. If you need a snoot, this is the place to go to! No frills, just great food.

I stopped by Sugarfire Smokehouse for lunch while exploring downtown St. Louis. Even though it was…read morebusy, the line moved quickly. It's counter service, and you get to see all of the meats and sides while ordering, which makes it tough to decide what to get! I went with the Brisket Dip Sandwich and a side of banana pudding, and both were fantastic. The brisket was tender, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the au jus really brought everything together. It was great on its own, but every table also has a selection of BBQ sauces to try. The Coffee BBQ sauce was the most interesting one, but it was fun sampling all of them to see which I liked best. If you're in St. Louis and craving BBQ, Sugarfire is definitely worth checking out!

Anything that tastes a little bit more time to prepare they will bring out to you on the floor. Keeps things flowing very well. I got the four bones (baby backs), broccoli salad (premium side, one dollar up charge), and coleslaw. I also grabbed a piece of sweet cornbread with honey butter, and fried green tomatoes with a lemon aïoli. The bones were not rendered as much as I would've liked, the fat layers were still too thick. But the flavor was good. And every table has six different sauces and you can have as much sauce as you want. I tried them all, and my personal favorites were the Carolina mustard, and the Texas hot sauce. The white barbecue was also very interesting. But they're all good. Fried green tomatoes were terrific! Broccoli salad and the coleslaw were pretty tasteless. As was the cornbread. Really wouldn't describe that as sweet cornbread. It seemed a mostly just wheat flour cornbread. The honey butter on its own was really the best side. I'm not unhappy that I came here, but would I seek it out again or try something else in the area? I would try something else in the area. And for that reason I am leaning toward 3 starts. Although the staff is terrific and really hustles here, and that is why I have to bump this up to four stars.

Being single, I did not want to go to all the trouble and expense of preparing myself a BBQ meal…read morefor Memorial Day. So I drove over to E-ville and had mine at, Edley's Bar B Que. They did a great job and the portions were so large, I got two meals out of my Ribs and Brisket Combo Platter. Brisket was fork tender and the Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Both were good, but my fave was the Ribs. Edley's is an order at the counter establishment. Once you order, you're given a table marker number. When your food is ready, a runner will bring it to you. If you're a soda or tea drinker, you'll order them with your food. If you prefer an adult beverage, you order them separately at the bar. I aways sit at the bar any way, so it's easy to order a beer while waiting for my food. Edley's now has their very own, Hazy IPA made by Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. I gave it 4 out of 5 Stars on my Untappd. I liked that a local STL brewery was the one who made it for Edley's. My Combo Platter came with two sides and I chose, Baked Beans and Red Potato Salad. I have always said, if you're eating BBQ, you've got have a side of Baked Beans. Another of my crazy rules is, Potato Salad must be made with Red Potatoes. So when I saw that they advertised their potato salad with red potatoes, I knew I had to have it. The Baked Beans had chunks of brisket in it, which added extra flavor. Even though the potato salad was made with red ones, it needed more white pepper and some more seasonings to make it kick. In addition to the two sides, the platter came with a piece of Jalapeño Cornbread. I'm a jalapeño addict, so it was a winner for me. It was moist and had plenty of little pieces of jalapeños to give it the perfect kick. The young lady at the counter was very perky and made the ordering process easy and smooth. My bartender was friendly and hustled taking care of bar customers and guest who showed up at the take-out window. I arrived around 11:30 AM and soon after, the restaurant filled up inside and on the patio. I was surprised how busy the take-out window was. I guess some folks wanted an easy Memorial Day, too.

They told us it's counter service only, and to head to the opposite side of the dining room (where the exit is located, not the entrance). OK, annoying, but no big deal. I had looked at the menu ahead of time, and we chose this place in great part because they had fish. I knew I wanted the catfish (I'm pescatarian), but it turned out they were out. So we left. There was nothing else I could eat besides the French fries and maybe the slaw. The atmosphere felt nice, though, while we were there. That gets a star.
