Amazing experience! One of, if not the, best patios in St. Louis. Service was spot on, very timely and friendly. Our waiter was extremely personable. Brisket sandwich rocked, and the Mac lived up to its praise. My wife had the falafel sandwich and it was surprisingly delicious...I may have finished it for her as well! Great pair-able beer selection, whiskey list looks very fun. I'll be back to explore that for sure... This place is EXACTLY what Main Street needs! read more

Meh. Its was just okay for me. Would have been just as happy with Bandana's and saved around $20.00. Staff and atmosphere were nice. Food just didn't blow me away. read more

Bland and no flavor...had hush puppies....baked beans...half rack of ribs and fries...the best flavor came from the fries.....no seasoning on anything...this place is all hype..Hendricks down the street or suger fire are both ten times better. read more

I called in an order and everything seemed fine. What the person on the phone forgot to tell me though was there was a festival going on and I needed to park a mile away! (Parking anywhere close was fifteen dollars or more) After getting my order and driving home I couldn't even eat the pulled pork. It was sooo salty. I know the place is called salt and smoke but jeez this was over doing it. Completely inedible! No sauce was included but I can't imagine anything would hide the taste. Creamed corn and Mac n cheese were good but that was the only saving grace. I'll be hesitant before going again. Edit: after cooling off a bit and receiving a response from Salt and Smoke I've added another star. If/when I revisit this location I'll update my review/rating. In terms of the pulled pork I tried using it in a potato soup recipe but it was still over seasoned so I'll probably not order that again. I added another star since my guests that ate the ribs said they were acceptable. read more

Bourbon selection was ok. Food and service were good. Actually the service was great. I recommend the brisket filled ravioli. Very good. I would go back read more

I've been a fan of Salt + Smoke since I moved to St. Louis a couple of years ago. I just went to this location this past weekend for the first time with a birthday party group. This place was BUSY! The birthday man had tried to call ahead since we had a larger group, but there was some miscommunication as when we got there, we were kind of standing around in everyone's way. We were able to sit on the patio which would be a much better option in warmer times, because we were all freezing. As soon as an employee (or angel, you decide) came out to turn on the fire for warmth, we were told our table was ready. Sooner than we expected for sure! Food was good as always! You cannot pick a bad side at this place. One of our group members didn't get what he ordered as they had run out of burnt ends. He wasn't notified before they served him with another meat option, which he was a little upset about. Beer selection was decent, although the bartender was a little less than helpful with letting us know the draft selection. He just pointed to the tap handles even though many of those only said the brewery.. Our server Brandon, however, was outstanding. He went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. Super nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend coming to this spot in St. Charles. Especially when it's a bit warmer and they can have that extra seating outside. read more

This was our second trip to the St. Charles location. We sat outside and it was delightful. Liz, our server, took very good care of us. She even got me a new drink when I didn't care for the one I ordered. I am wondering if you all have considered making bread pudding for a dessert. You have such a great selection of whiskeys, bourbons and ryes that could be used to make a lovely caramel sauce (just and idea). We'll definitely be back again soon. read more

We had eaten at the Delmar location once & it was good, but not amazing so decided to try their new St Charles location. It was AMAZING! We had the Burnt End Toasted Ravioli, Brisket plate with potato salad & cracker Mac n cheese, salad special, pecan pie & chocolate pie. Every bite was as good as the last. The restaurant was busy with only a small indoor eating space so we chose to eat at the bar. The food came out super fast! We are so excited to have Salt N Smoke in the area and will definitely be back soon! read more

One time the ribs were perfect, juicy and tender, the next time the ribs were dry and over cooked. Take your chances.

I walked in and was greeted with the sound of pleasure! After that, I asked to put playoff hockey on. It was on within less than a minute. The sounds of pleasure were still banging my ear drums, but was immediately reimbursed with chill music! Great experience and will be back very shortly! Thank you for that Smoke + Salt! Lastly, the bartender, Paul, was absolutely phenomenal! He was a great server/bartender and hope to get him next time! The food came out literally faster than I could say SEX! I cannot believe how great this place was! Thank you again Salt+Smoke read more

The place is aptly named because you will taste smoke and a LOT of salt. The fries were a sodden lump of grease and garlic. They have a good selection of whiskey. read more

The season salad with goat cheese add brisket is amazing!!! The salt and smoke cocktail with laphroaig is also great!!

Salt + Smoke is my favorite bbq in St. Louis. And not only is their meat amazing, but their sides are great as well (mac and cheese, brisket chili, potato salad, etc.). The St. Charles location also has one of the best patios to grab a bite and hang out at when the weather's nice. Highly recommend! read more

They don't take reservations so we had to wait for about an hour and a half before being seated, but they offer to text you to let you know that your table is ready. We thought that was a nice option as we got to walk around main street while waiting for the table. We went there with about 8 people and everyone really enjoyed their meal. The portions were big enough that my fiancé and I shared our food. If you enjoy meat, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The ribs were the best I've ever had dining out! The drinks were fresh. The prices were definitely fair. I couldn't finish my dinner, so two meals for the price of one! I'm lazy so I microwaved my leftovers the next day. I won't make that mistake again. (They lost that crispy outer edge) I can't wait to go back again, and WILL use an oven to re-heat. read more

Just passing through town. So glad we stopped. Not your ordinary BBQ PUB. Had fried jalapeno and chedder bologna sandwiches with a side of white cheddar cracker mac and a dark draft. Everything was out standing, I highly recommend your taking the time to pay SALT + SMOKE a visit. read more

Great bbq, will definitely be back. I had brisket(chose point), pulled pork and STL ribs. Excellent sides also-fries/cheddar mac. Everyone I ate with also enjoyed their meal. Salt+Smoke and Beast Craft are the kings of BBQ in the metro area. read more

Wow! I admit my expectations were low bc it's a busy Saturday but the food was very good and the service was amazing! I see they're opening soon in the Central West End. Great! Can't wait! Hoping they'll consider expanding to the Shiloh/O'Fallon Illinois area. No doubt they'll do great. read more

Two of us visited for lunch and had the following experience. The atmosphere is great and the staff very friendly. We were served by Sally who was truly outstanding. The service was super fast and the food was delivered in a very short time. I ordered the brisket sandwich and brisket chili for the side. My companion had the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. We split the sandwiches and both had the same opinions. The portions were quite generous, the buns very fresh and the sauces were wonderful. The pulled pork was really exceptional. Very flavorful and melt in your mouth texture. The brisket was good but not memorable and a bit tough to chew as it suffered from being cut much too thick. The brisket chili was good with a lot of meat. The beans were a big disappointment as they had some strange flavor that ruined them. With the staff they have and mostly very good food to offer, this place will be a success. read more

Amazing food, great service, good atmosphere! The brisket was amazing but don't forget the chili and the cheddar macaroni!

Great food, nice portions. I highly recommend. I've eaten here 3 times and can't complain... well, I guess I can, I wasn't really impressed with the chicken, but the other meats were fantastic. The patio is great. read more

Hands down best BBQ. Toasted Ravs and Deviled eggs for appetizers. Brisket, pulled pork, best beans and the BEST Mac and cheese ever for dinner. read more

So on a dinner visit we were very disappointed. A beautiful Indian summer night their patio was perfect. Liked their waiting line function of texting when table is ready. Didn't take long. We ordered fairly quickly as Morganne was on top of it to start. First warning- food was out in less than 5-min after our order. Wife had pulled pork with the highly recommended Mac n cheese. It was dry. Mac n cheese tasteless. Coleslaw looking old. Wife said best thing on the plate was the pickle. I had a salad and brisket smoked wing combo with side of smoked beans...beans were tasteless. Wings were decent. Salads was excellent and mixed with brisket chunks quite good. Popover had nice texture but no taste. Needs a sweet butter to put on it. Sad when a bbq restaurant the salad is the best thing. Shame. They have great bourbon selection and prices. I'd like to see this place survive but I won't be back for dinner read more

Food was pretty good, we loved the atmosphere and the waiter we had. However there isn't many options for food and it's pretty pricey for the options. Sadly there are a few places that are cheaper with better, a little disappointed. read more

The food is great. We ate on the patio and had a party of six and it was wonderful. I will come back and try other items. I got pulled pork and a salad and both were wonderful. read more

Delicious!!!! Can't wait to go back! Fall off the bone ribs are amazing and so are all the sides! Oh and I love thief bbq sauces! I will be back a lot! read more

This place is magnificent! Service is great always plenty of servers. The food is off the chain

I'm wondering if I need to give this place another shot. We ordered online and the first time available was 40 minutes, but when we picked up our food it was lukewarm. The chicken smelled like feet so I had to toss it. The rest was ok. I think we need to go back once everything is back to normal and dine in is an option. read more

Best barbecue in St. Louis. Hands down. Best brisket I've ever had. Had the fatty brisket with cracker Mac and cheese and it very well could be my selection for my last meal should I have to choose one. I recommend Salt + Smoke to any of my out of town friends who want to try Barbecue. Also, their patio is AMAZING. Definitely try Salt + Smoke if you want amazing barbecue! read more

I went here for lunch and the hush puppies were to die for but do not get the pulled pork the only bad thing on the menu totally recommend if you are out on Main Street read more

Great food!!!! Great service!!!!! Great atmosphere!!!!! Absolutely love this place and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice place to grab some dinner. read more

Great outdoor seating area with lots of fire pits and tables distanced well. Server was great, excellent selection of bourbon, and fantastic BBQ. Nice spot to relax and enjoy historic Main Street! read more

Courtney was our server and she was truly incredible! She was so polite and she took care of us well. She even got a bowl of water for our doggo that we had on the patio! Great customer service. read more

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

The quality of all of our dishes was top notch and the service was very good. I realize Salt is part of their M.O., however, the amount of salt on the otherwise perfectly fine, tender rack of ribs was a bit overpowering. read more

I have been a customer of Salt N Smoke for the past 4 years and always have had a wonderful experience, however this recent time with a nightmare to say the least... I ordered on 1/12/2022 around 8:45 PM via a Call-In on a Debit Card. What I ordered was (2) Bestie 2 Combos, one with Sweet Ribs and Smoked Wings sides were Sweet Potato Chips and Mac n Cheese, the 2nd Bestie 2 Combie was Ribs, Smoked wings and for the sides it was the Fries and the Mac N Cheese. Total for the Order was $41.72 Charged to VISA Debit Card Ending In (4360) I recently moved away to Iowa in the past 1 year so anytime I come into town in Saint Charles to see my parents which is often I always get Salt N Smoke in Saint Charles, MO I wish I could get it from Delmar if it was closer because I have never had a bad experience at that location ever, however Saint Charles is a different story. When I got to my parents I noticed all of the food was cold, not even slightly warm, I was really confused on how that was possible because I arrived at Salt N Smoke in Saint Charles before my order was finished. I ended up warming up both dinners because I did not want to waste food but still could not get myself to finish the meal mainly because there was something very wrong with the chicken almost like it was spoiled, my girlfriend was trying to be polite and ate everything to her regret, 1 day later she told me she had the worse stomach pain she has ever felt and it was so bad where we had to rush her to the E.R Hospital at Great River Health Center in Fort Madison, IA where we currently reside. After waiting 2 hours, doing blood tests and urine samples the doctor came to the conclusion that my girlfriend had gotten "Gastritis" which is a bad stomach inflammation which the doctor recommended it was caused from the poultry at the BBQ place she ate which was Salt N Smoke on Saint Charles... Tried to write them via Email no response, they will be hearing from my attorney. read more

Good food but I've had better burnt ends at other bbq places. Love the popover cheese roll!

Salt +Smoke has incredible toasted ravioli. Service is fast and polite. The beef sandwich has a great flavor to it.

Overrated, had beef brisket bbq sandwich, wife have pulled pork, nasty did not finish her sanswich

We were visiting from out of town and they accommodated a large group very quickly. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and fast. The portions on the combo plates are big enough to share but you will want to eat it all, it's so good! Also the historic Main Street area is very cute and a great place for pictures. This was our favorite restaurant of our trip. read more

Had ribs and Brisket. Folks were nice. Didn't understand the bread....Was ok, not life changing.
