Salt + Smoke is amazing! Sat at the bar and the service was great! Also the trashed ribs are a must have. Great cocktails too. I had the Smoking Gun cocktail. Very good pairing with the ribs. read more

Salt + Smoke - Trashed Ribs platter with beef fat fries and Mac n Cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

The staff were so friendly and helpful when ordering. The brisket itself was kind of dry but very flavorful. I'd say the wings were better than the brisket. But the best thing all night was the loaded fries. I will say the sides were pretty bland. The white cheddar Mac and cheese really didn't taste like anything and the coleslaw didn't have a lot of flavor. The Cesar salad was good but felt like 50% cheese. The vibes inside were great though and I enjoyed the ambiance. read more

Everything was amazing. The outside dining area was a great atmosphere. The service was very good. The spicy ribs were excellent. The old part is St Charles was a beautiful area of historic architecture. read more

An excellent STL BBQ joint opened a spot in historic St. Charles, so stopped for lunch at their outdoor patio on a bike outing. It was casual, tasty food, with friendly and fast service plus simple and plentiful menu! If you like BBQ, it's a solid 4.0+ for me, with sandwiches ~$10-14 and combo meal plates ~$15-25. Good apps and salads ~$6-12 too! Today tried the Deviled Eggs as a starter, then shared the Kale Crunch Salad and Double Bacon Cheeseburger. If you are a deviled egg fan, don't miss these flavorful egg and bacon bites; light and not too heavy. The Kale Salad (large order) was a variety of green veggies, walnuts, goat cheese, dried apricots, onion and tomatoes - awesome salad and plenty for 2 or more if just wanting a small dinner plate starter. The smash Cheeseburger was tender and tasty with smoked bacon and melted cheese; opted for the beef fat fries (not healthy but worth trying) as a side, but they also have options. S & S was a great pick for a meal; they also have indoor dining but their patio is the way to savor a cold craft brew and some great food! Enjoy!! read more

I have never once had a bad experience here (st Charles) or any other location they have. Jen was spectacular and helpful! I typically get the BLT or the pulled pork sandwich, both wonderful choices. As a very picky eater, I focus a lot on the texture of the food I'm eating- they kill it every time! Coincidentally they happened to be playing Pink Floyd's "The Wall" Album straight through. So. Good. I cannot recommend this place enough! Don't forget to try some sauces! I love the Alabama ranch! read more

Good food and it comes out very quick! The different sauces are fun and it's a place you can eat inside our outside.

Ordered through door dash -- food was Luke-warm, incorrect and just so so. Don't order through door dash. St. Louis has wonderful bbq. Sadly I'd not put salt + smoke on the list. This is the third time I've had salt + smoke, St Charles. Twice in the restaurant and once by door dash. No time met my expectations. Serving size for price point was surprisingly small. Food was just ok. Though when I reheated the fries and the fried pickles in the air fryer they were great. St. Louis has so many good bbq joints to chose from. We'll not be back to Salt + Smoke. read more

Salt + Smoke - I got for the Two meat Bestie Combo 2. $25.00 - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Ordered door dash - and loved what we had! My friend and I split a 3 meat dinner and there was enough for another person! Amazing flavor - but overall, was super impressed with how they packaged it up so carefully for delivery! We live out of town, but can't wait to go back! read more

Foods always good. It was downtown and we've never been to that one, it was also St Pattys weekend so it was super busy. Considering all that service was great. They were working hard! read more

The food at Salt + Smoke never disappoints. I'm very particular about my bbq and if you're looking for some great food then Salt + Smoke is it. I started off with the Eldest Uncle and it is so tasty! It's so tasty in fact, that I get it every time that I come here. The hush puppies are also so delicious and that maple butter goes with them perfectly. For my entree, I got the smoked wings with the white cheddar cracker Mac and pit beans with smoked bacon as my sides. Ya'll.. it was so good! I literally left no crumbs. lol The wings were smoked to perfection and I also love that Salt + Smoke has different sauces you can try. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. They are fast with getting your food out, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and the prices are fair. This particular evening we sat outside next to the fire pit. I love that you can bring your dog and they offer water bowls. They unfortunately were out of Merlot but provided me with samplers until I found an alternative. Definitely a whiskey or bourbon place but they do offer other options. The price with tip for a group of three and drinks was under $150.00. very reasonable for the food selection. There are a few locations of salt and smoke. I love the one in st Charles because of the atmosphere. Great small town. Can be romantic, groups, or even if dining alone. They offer all the spaces and comforts. read more

Salt + Smoke satisfied our BBQ craving and some! This tasty restaurant is situated right in the heart of Historic St Charles district, the ambiance was so perfect. I am already making plans on coming back to this cute little town during Christmas! This place pleased us from the moment we stepped inside. We had the option to either sit outside on the spacious, cozy patio or inside the restaurant. We chose inside because it was a little to humid for my boyfriend in Missouri in August! ;) Everything was perfect- from the trashed wings to the hush puppies to the ribs to the burnt ends and the pecan pie- all of it was so delicious! This was exactly what we needed after a long drive to St Louis! There are a few locations around the area, please stop in and give it a try! Salt + Smoke served the best burnt ends we have ever tried. We are still talking about it. :) read more

Good food, good wait staff, outdoor area nice, dogs were allowed. Indoors may have been. TV but I was outside

Midwest Barbecue will give it a 7/10. The meat is always tender and has good levels of smokiness. The sides are always pretty good and my wife is very fond of their vegetarian offerings (surprisingly). They have a really nice well kept facility and the servers and staff make it wonderful. The location is the best part as it's in the heart of Saint Charles. read more

Very nice BBQ joint. Modern seating area. Fast friendly service. Kid friendly. Food was really well done. Nice tap list. Parking is a bit challenging. This is a place worth checking out. read more

Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. We couldn't get past the appetizer. Ordered Buffalo wings, but they were sweet. Not what we expected from a Buffalo wing. Decided to just try the french fries. They were just ok. We had to find someone to seat us and find someone to pay for our food. Service is lacking. The food came quickly, but we felt as if we were a bother. And don't dare ask a question about the menu.... How ridiculous of us! We will not be back. read more

Best fries in St. Louis. Fried in beef fat instead of some terrible poisonous vegetable oil or palm oil. Makes a huge difference in both flavor and the nutrition profile. The meat is good, you can find better bbq in St. Louis for sure. Can be a bit spotty sometimes. The choices of sides is excellent, including the fries, green bean and tomato salad is top notch, even the cole slaw and the potato salad are far above average. Good beer menu, enormous bourbon/whisky menu. Very, very nice patio seating, and great service. read more

Salt + Smoke - Sauce!! - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Had a chance to visit this restaurant while on a recent trip to St. Louis, Missouri. I'm particularly excited that I got a chance to not only try the restaurant, but to experience the whole vibe of "Main Street"! Visiting the cobble stone street was very cool and not like other "main streets" that I've been too where they just go on for like two blocks, no, not this one! It had a ton of restaurants, boutiques and all kinds of other places on at least 10 blocks! Walking into this location of Salt+Smoke was very loud and the young lady at the desk definitely needs some training in customer service techniques! She could not smile, was short, and really had an attitude like "why am I at work"! She took my cell number and when I asked about the patio she said "it's closed", mind you this is 6:30 in the evening on a very busy night and she gave no further explanation until I asked why and again, in her short version, she said "we pulled the servers"! Come on, if you don't want to be at work, then go home! When we finally sat down at our table inside the server "Travis" was fantastic! He had a great attitude, was helpful and very easy to speak to! I ordered the 2 meat plate with brisket and ribs, and they were delicious, along with the side of mac n cheese! The side of beans was so-so and I'd probably skip them next time! The cheddar "popover" was to die for, especially dipped in their sweet bbq sauce! I highly recommend Salt+Smoke, just skip the young lady at check in!! read more

Yummy!! Needed a place to stop midday for a drink and some good food and came across this place. Perfect for a small bite to eat and yummy drinks. The Apple cider, pineapple margarita and beef fries are the way to go! read more

I ordered food through their website to pick up and take home. I was not formally greeted in what was a very empty restaurant. The lady just pointed at my food and wasn't pleasant whatsoever. I didn't care because I was taking it home. After I got home I realized they didn't put a single sauce in my bag that I had asked for. BBQ with no sauce.. Unbelievable. The food is decent but at this rate I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Before spending the afternoon shopping on Main Street, my parents are I decided to eat a little BBQ and decided to visit this location of Salt + Smoke. When we arrived, we were seated quickly and our server was at our table within minutes. We ordered our drinks and then looked over the menu before ordering. We ordered a few different items to share at the table and knew that we would have enough food for all of us to try. The chicken wings were so good and the macaroni and cheese was perfection. My parents enjoyed the ribs and pulled pork and they each got to try a popover! We also had the sweet potato chips some beef fat fries and the green bean and potato salad which were also so good. Everything was just so great! Our server was super friendly and the food was really good so I am glad we were able to enjoy a nice lunch before shopping. read more

Great BBQ location in St. Louis area. The outdoor dining location has lots of character with nice umbrellas. Great tree with a waterfall. Love the savory sides. The creamed corn is not what you'd expect but complements the BBQ. The beef brisket....very good!! Smoked wings....loved them. read more

Salt + Smoke - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Three years ago, I ventured in here. A few good choices, and the food was good. From memory, the smoke theme was rampant then, and my wife wasn't enthralled. Good, but... Today, that changed. Our son suggested we go for lunch as a family, and while the place hasn't changed, the food was amazing, and subtle changes changed opinions. Distinct favorites abounded across the table. Entrees: The pulled pork was brilliant. Burnt ends, brisket, and more were great, and we choose around the choices of heat and sweet. Appetizers: The hush puppies were amongst the best I've had in years... and changed my mind in then as a viable option. The burnt end toasted raviolis were good, and a fun twist on the STL favorite. Sides: Creamed corn was fantastic. Some sweet, heat, and corn for a brilliant and complex mix of flavors. This was top notch. The bacon and cheddar pop-overs were light and fluffy, and yet abounded with flavor through the roof. Mac and cheese was the talk for a while later as we tried to figure out some of the secrets. Customer service was amazing, including the interaction with the five year old. Will be back soon... read more

I'm visiting from Washington, DC, so perhaps I've never had a good barbecue, but the people ranking this low are tripping. I got the three-plate platter with short ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. My were beans & bacon + Mac & Cheese. This was the best mac & cheese I've ever had anywhere, and the barbecue was delicious, to the extent that I don't think I will be able to have barbecue where I live anymore. read more

Salt + Smoke - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

I love eating here when I'm in town. The barbecue is very good. I like the wings too. The sauces are the "bestie"! You should try the chili, and beef fat fries. My two favorite sides. read more

Great food and service. Will definitely visit again. Lovely outdoor seating right on the cobblestone street

Please plan ahead and try to make a special seating reservation or go to another location if you are unable to walk up stairs. The Salt + Smoke in St. Charles only has a few tables available on the first floor, and the majority of the seats are upstairs. (Outdoor seating was unavailable due to rain). So those who are unable to take the stairs will need to wait extra long for a table. It was already difficult for our grandmother to wait for a seat due to the chairs available for waiting guests were filled. After about 30 mins, we were told a table was free upstairs--even though we already informed them she had a hard time taking the stairs. Maybe their short response was due to how busy they were, but we were told to either wait even longer or take the table upstairs. It was getting late, and we were all starving at this point. So a few of us were able to help her upstairs slowly. On top of the inconsiderate seating situation, we also had to pick our way through burnt and overly salted dishes. It might have been an off day for them. But it was just another addition to our already difficult evening with them. The only plus was that our server was so kind and nice. She is the only reason I didn't rate this experience a one star. She made the experience a lot more bearable. read more

I've made no secret that I LOVE the BBQ at Salt & Smoke, but I'm one of those who almost NEVER takes pictures of the food I'm eating! Until this past week! Once again in St. Louis, went to the location at the Ballpark! Must say I meant to go back & take a photo of the bar menu because that Eldest Uncle cocktail was awesome! Now, for an update to a previous post... let me recommend, get your ribs "Trash" style!! This means they will get smothered with whichever BBQ sauce you choose & then still get broiled a bit more & can we talk about PERFECTION?!?! And I hate using that word, but these ribs were so perfect, THANK GOODNESS I ordered a full rack! I enjoyed my takeaway box for breakfast in my hotel the next day & then home today for lunch! YUM YUM!! I can't rave enough either about the fries (cooked in regular oil, not beef fat which is offered but I know my stomach wouldn't handle) and the green bean salad WAS AMAZING!! Seriously... fabulous meal! My friends had chicken & brisket & a piece here or there may very well have landed in my leftovers too & may I say... OMG even days later, they were delicious! Use the YELP site to get on the Wait List or better yet, GET THERE EARLY, enjoy an Eldest Uncle at the bar & let them call you when your table is ready! read more

Loved the brisket and the French fries. Cozy sitting by the fire outside. Everyone was nice.

We were a group of 12. They did a good job of taking our order and keeping up with our drinks. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food.

We had a great curbside pick up experience and lunch from this restaurant last weekend. My parents were visiting so I set up a table outside so we could have a social distanced lunch. I called Salt + Smoke directly from their phone # on their Facebook page. In case you didn't know, if you order through the Yelp GrubHub online system, they take a percentage of that sale away from the small business. Also, if you call the restaurant from the number on Yelp instead of going to Google or the restaurants Facebook page to get the phone number, it's tied to GrubHub and they still a commission. Small businesses are struggling enough as it is. Whenever possible just call the restaurant directly using their phone number on Facebook. My parents arrived to pick up the order Curbside and it was ready on time but I called and added a pulled pork sandwich and french fries for my son at the last minute and they had that ready for my parents in less than five minutes and they were on their way to me. We ordered a couple of racks of ribs, salmon, potato salad, coleslaw, pulled pork sandwich, deviled eggs, and french fries. The ribs meals came with pop overs that were hot and fresh. All of the food was wonderful - the hot food was hot & the cold food was cold. We like their sweet barbecue sauce but honestly the food didn't need it and it was great without it. I like their dry rub on the ribs because it's not too salty. We will definitely continue to order from this restaurant and support this small business. This is the second time we have eaten here and both experiences were great, give them a try! read more

Nice outside seating with some tables close to fire places. Great drinks - old fashion and Paloma. Server was good. Food sadly was only ok - a lot of potential but just didn't do it well. In fact across the street is an another small bbq place whose food is lot tastier. Any ways they had good sauces, Mac and cheese was good. Chicken and pork sandwiches were just ok. read more

Very good BBQ spot near the city! We came here when we were in town for a work conference and were suggested this place by a local. The drinks were okay. Definitely not the highlight of the meal. We started with the toasted brisket raviolis for an app. They were as good as expected! A St. Louis speciality for sure. I got the 2 meat combo with the pulled pork and ribs with the Mac n cheese and coleslaw! The meat was delicious, perfectly smoked and went great with all their sauces. The popover was super light and fluffy! The Mac N Cheese was the highlight of the combo and the coleslaw was pretty good as well. All in all, I would highly recommend this place for good BBQ while in St. Louis. We have to come back on a month and probably will be back again! read more

Good Service & Nice Place & TV's & Bar and good food items. Nice for Groups dates or Singles

The service was top notch. Started with the local whiskey. Then had the bbq ribs which unfortunately were like warm and on the drier side. The sauces were just ok. The baked beans were very good, sweet and salty with a Smokey flavor. The pop over was just ok. I had bourbon pecan pie with vanilla ice cream on top which was delicious. I came here for the ribs which unfortunately did not impress. read more

Great outdoor seating on a beautiful patio with string lights and a water/pond feature. They gave paper menus, asked to wear masks until you got to the table and kept tables very spaced out. Definitely use the waitlist feature online to avoid a wait as there were quite a few people on a Wednesday night. Food wise the double bacon cheeseburger with chili was tasty and the bestie combo platter is a great portion size for one (and to share a little). I got the burnt ends and ribs but would probably get the fatty brisket and trashed ribs in the combo instead as they would be more tender and saucy (our waitress said we could get any meat on the menu in the plate so hopefully can do this next time). We dunked the meat in the sweet bbq sauce which was delicious, and loved the fries and Mac n cheese (must get). Also get the apple barrel cocktail! read more

Nice location ~ 8/10 Food quality 8/10 Solid atmosphere ~ 8/10 Food Preparation ~ 7/10 (slightly dry over-cooked) Service ~ 7/10 (bar seating, one of three guests at bar, mid afternoon Friday August 1st) Price Value ~ 6/10 The restaurant is not what I'd call a "find" or discovery. It's a premium priced retail establishment, located in a busy touristy town. The restaurant features solid food, and drink, with smaller sized portions. If I owned a restaurant and could execute at this level (the entire operation), in this location - it'd look like this place. And be priced the same. So - yes it's a safe bet for you. They know what they're doing, in a sea of so-so Midwest blah Sysco supplied restaurants, these folks stand out. But for me, prob not a spot I return to, because I really like to be surprised with unique food, of high quality and well portioned - at a great value. Not here. Smaller portions. Premium priced. Great setting and location. Predictable product. I wish them well, and I'm glad they're here in St Charles. read more
