White Cheddar Cracker Mac Side
Sammy K.

I've had it all thanks to my job. KC, Texas, Carolina, Alabama, but I feel like I've been lied to my whole life about what bbq is... This was amazing! St. Louis BBQ is THE BEST. I will be flying here just to have dinner! I cannot begin to describe the EXPERIENCE I just had from Salt + Smoke. Ambiance is 10/10 bec the smell seduces you!

Pulled Pork Sandwich
Jessica H.

We stopped in for lunch while out enjoying the beautiful day on Main Street St Charles. Aiming for the patio, but didnt want to wait so we settled for a spot inside next to the bar. Service was attentive and helped with the beer choice of the meal and with any questions about the menu we had. Thinking we got here right in time because the inside soon was full as well and it definitely can noisy if you are sensitive to that type of setting. Food was FANTASTIC, really wish my plate auto refilled but guess maybe someday in the future we can figure that out... Pulled Pork sandwich for myself with a side of the soup... honestly dont recall what it was but thinking black bean something. SO GOOD,so try the soup lol

Chicken Sandwich with Mac n Cheese and Potato Salad Side
Leah D.

Fun BBQ spot with tons of gluten free, vegetarian, and of course classic BBQ options! I had the chicken sandwich which was a little too plain so make sure to add some sauce. My family ordered a variety of other foods such as brisket, chicken wings, and sandwiches. I thought the mac and cheese was a fun side. The lemon cake is a must for dessert! Our server was hilarious so maybe you'll get lucky to have him serve you. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating.

The was fine. I wouldn't pick to eat here again but wouldn't turn my nose up at it if I were hungry. Staff was great and it was clean.

This was my first time to this location and it did not disappoint! It's located on main st St Charles a historic shopping and dining street perfect to walk around before or after getting a bite to eat. We got the burnt end roasted ravioli and they were pipping hot and crunchy on the outside with a smoky meaty inside that was balanced nicely by the ranch. We also got the wings and the ribs both were tasty but the wings were the star being both smoky and crispy was a perfect combination with the mustard BBQ sauce they used. The popover was hot and delicious as well perhaps you would say perfectly cooked. Fried crisp. Staff were stretched thin but did a good job keeping everything smoothly run and there as needed.

I always have such a great experience at any Salt and Smoke location. The food is consistently good and I appreciate that they don't have too many options, so they can really focus on making their food high-quality and delicious. I always get the green bean with tomato side, which is super fresh, and this time I went with their mac & cheese! It's always a winner. All of their meats are amazing, my choice this time was the pulled chicken and brisket. The patio here is awesome. There are a ton of seats outside and if it's a chilly day, their outdoor fire pits will be on. There are also a ton of seats, so it's nice that many people can be accommodated out here.

Came for a pre-game luncheon LOCATION - right in the heart of the historic district among all of the very quaint brick stores and buildings PARKING - this can be an issue as we only saw street parking , but at least free ENTRANCE - when you walk inside you have to go to a counter where a host can help AMBIANCE - it's total bohemian looking and cool. There is a sweet BBQ aroma everywhere They have a small downstairs and an upstairs for seating. It seems popular so at peak time there must be a wait The tables are wood and they have glass jars of sauces to select from. Unfortunately the bottles are kind of sticky to the touch MENU - not large but enough for the BBQ meat crowd SERVICE - a little on the slower side getting menus and getting table bused before our group of 7 The gentleman was nice but not very engaging FOOD - try the eggs good. However, the dish could be improved with Spanish paprika. The apps that we shared included ribs and wings. Some of the wings were a bit undercooked but not poisonous. The ribs were good but tended to be overcooked a bit. I had the cheese burger that was very good But a bit on the greasy side. VINO - limited list but for red the federalist was decent but had a sharp after taste. The other options would fall into the bar stock category PRICES - are very reasonable at least by New York standards. RESTROOMS - speaking for the men. It's not awful but could use Intermediate cleaning

The food was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was so clean and cute. Paul's service was top tier! He was so kind, so accommodating, great with checking in on us, all over the restaurant doing the bar things as well! You can tell he genuinely cares about the service people are receiving which seems to be a rare commodity these days, so to be given such excellence service was really refreshing and made this place 10 times better! Great job Paul!

Sweetened Iced Tea
Ruby S.

Location in St Charles has plethora of free street parking. Roads and structures known for bricks and cobblestones exude a charming, carefree setting for rest, relaxation and conversations. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating under umbrellas are available. No res needed. Our server, Eric made amazing recommendations and provided impressive customer service throughout the evening. Bestie Combo 2 meats w/ 2 sides $20.99. Trashed Ribs: Sweet which is also St Louis ribs, Brisket, Bacon & Cheddar Popover, Pit Beans with Smoked Bacon, White Cheddar Cracker Mac, and sweet pickle. Everything tasted fabulous! Loved how there's four other bbq sauces that you're able to try from sweet, hot and tangy, not even, and mustarolina. Besides hearing music, few fireflies are entertaining. Highly recommend.

Bourbon flights and burnt ends ravioli...so good. Bartender, Drew, was super accommodating and a pleasure to hang with.

Drink Menu
Javi S.

The service here was great; We were seated immediately and the staff was communicative with us the entire time. Our server also was proactive in helping us split the check, which was nice. The alcoholic drinks all tasted amazing, and the price was overall affordable for the amount of things we got. The brisket grilled cheese was the highlight. I didn't love the creamed corn; I was expecting a sweet flavor and found out it was more a cajun flavor. The low point was the vegan option; The falafel burger was quite disappointing.

Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wrap
Shannon O.

This was the best wrap I've ever had. The service was so friendly and kind. The atmosphere was great, a lovely patio!

Menu
Angela S.

Fonte was our server, and absolutely excellent! Really cool patio table, multilevel outdoor seating. Loved the vibe! Drinks were thirst-quenching and meats were juicy & tender, compiled in thoughtful dishes.

Delish! Brisket (fatty), cracker Mac, and beef fat fries are definitely the way to go. It's our go-to for barbecue!

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 33 - 4/18 of Missouri…read more Popped in here for a brew and a bite before heading to the zoo event. It was our first time in - we bellied up to the bar, where there were drink menus and a food menus for the browsing. We were advised to order at "the window" for food (clever) & did so. (Reviewed separately) The barkeep walked us through some of his favorites. I opted for the orange cream (sour spin) & found it to be absolutely delicious. The beer was nicely balanced, not too sweet or sour & no strange tastes. The hubby was very happy with his as well. We'll certainly stop in next time we're in town to try a few more & maybe grab some cooler beer!

*** HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! *** This review is based…read moresoley on treatment, exclusion, and frankly a questionable violation of ADA regulations, based on having a trained service animal with me. We walk in the door with 3-humans and 1- service animal (with identification on). * Manager on duty: "If you have a dog you need to sit in the room." *points to private dining space where no other patron is sitting, the room has the lights off, all the chairs are on the tables, and the heat is off* * Me: "Pardon? This is a service dog, and we'd like to sit with everyone else." * Manager on duty: "If you have a dog, you need to sit in this room, because we have a kitchen area in the main dining area." * Me: "Okay, but this is trained service animal and we would like to sit in the same space as everyone else." * Manager on duty: "These are the food and beverage regulations." ... he is now saying something even more asinine than before, clearly not understanding that the ADA exists for inclusion purposes. We did not want to argue with this man any further, as his attitude and lack of knowledge was already frustrating enough. The Manager on duty turned on the lights in the room, and then had the audacity to leave the room, while my boyfriend was left taking chairs off the table so we would have a place to sit. We stayed for about 45-minutes, ordered food and had a beer. Prior to us leaving my boyfriend's mom (who frequents this place and even helped them stay open during COVID with purchases and donations) went to have a conversation with the Manager to help clear things up and educate him a bit... he responded to her with, "There are no exceptions, a dog is a dog." To the owners of Third Wheel Brewing: I am truly saddened and disappointed in the lack of empathy, education, and understanding of individuals who need accommodations, and use service animals. I would HIGHLY recommend you provide additional education and training to your staff about ADA regulations, and the treatment of patrons in relation to such. While at times, certain accommodations are acceptable, this one was isolating and intentionally exclusionary. Please do better.
