THE BRISKET! Amazing! Great stock of whiskey too. My husband got the St Louis ribs. They were ok,.....BUT THE BRISKET WAS EXTRA. Great sides. Fast service. Also served with a heavenly popover! Only minor point was they didn't have enough servers outside so we had to sit inside on a beautiful day. read more

Salt + Smoke - Brisket Plate, string beans and potatoes salad! - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

Salt and Smoke is located on historic Main Street in St Charles. Due to this, while there is street parking, it can be difficult to find at times. The restaurant is located in an older restored historic building with both downstairs and upstairs seating. It is nothing fancy on the inside, but it is comfortable. There is also a very large outdoor patio that is great when the weather is nice. We came on an early Friday evening and there was no wait. I'm sure this is not always the case. All of the employees were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my crunch kale salad with pulled chicken. The burgers were also good, but the sides, especially the cole slaw, were disappointing. Overall our experience was pleasant. But I wasn't overwhelmed. I would maybe come back to try more of the barbecue items. read more

Being from Kansas City, I often crave barbecue, but I don't really know many places to get it from. I got the combo with three entrées and two sides. I got the dry wings, sweet wings, and sweet ribs with the white cheddar, mac & cheese, and baked beans. The sauce used for the wings and ribs was really good And the mac & cheese was delicious. The baked beans weren't really sweet, but I think that's a personal preference. The wild berry sorbet was amazing, but I didn't care for the popover. For a Tuesday, it was kind of busy which I love for them, but it didn't interfere with my service (which was just a pick up order that I placed online).I popped in and out but it felt like a welcoming vibe, kinda like that local lunch spot everyone goes to. read more

Got the combo wings and ribs. Both were great, ribs were the winner. They quickly fell off the bone. Extremely tender. Great flavor. Slightly fatty. The wings were also good, juicy and tasty. Baked beans and cole slaw were solid, may try other sides next time. Cole slaw had apples so that puts its ahead of the beans. Beans were good but my preference for a slight more sweetness. Excellent service, patio seating, street parking or the lot by the river. Great BBQ option. read more

Salt and smoke is some of the best bbq I've ever eaten. The burnt ends were amazing and the ribs were fall off the bone tender. The sides were fantastic too, I would definitely eat here again. read more

Order via uber eats, the Bbq Sandwich along with the baked beans and potato salad is absolutely crap. Sandwich had little or no taste with stringy meat inside. The beans were straight from the can, and the red potato salad was full of undercooked potatoes. All of this was packaged poorly and fell apart in the delivery persons car. Bottom line avoid this nonsense and seek food elsewhere. read more

We came to St. Louis and I was on a mission to make sure I had some St.Louis style ribs before we came back home (LA). From the front of the restaurant to the back everything was amazing. It is not such a huge establishment but it's perfect in size. Our hostess helped me get a high chair for my son. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and very professional. The food was perfect. My son had the pulled pork sandwich and I swear he could have had another one. His creamed corn was delicious and different. I got the half rack ribs, st.louis style with the Mac n cheese an do Caesar salad. I loved the ambience, it's in a beautiful location. I have highly recommend the restaurant to our family in Missouri and California. We are definitely coming back next time we're in town. read more

I ordered the double Oklahoma bacon cheeseburger with the beef fat fries, which was amazing food also tried the white cheddar Mac the food was great, the service was great they checked in frequently and it was a very welcoming place.

The service was excellent. Five stars for service. We were seated and waited on immediately. Food came out fast and was hot. The food was actually really good and would have been 4 stars if not for the quantity of meat provided. The two meat platter (brisket + smoked wings) came with only a half slice of brisket. And the pulled pork sandwich barely had enough pulled pork to cover the bottom of the bun. It is about half the amount of pulled pork I would have expected. read more

Visited St Louis for 1st time in 20 plus years and this was great great food. The service in the bar was very good!! Hats off to the chef and overall team at these facilities. Please support great places like this. Hope to enjoy again when I'm back. read more

Came in for lunch, split the 2 meat combo with my mom...burnt ends and chicken with baked beans and coleslaw along with a regular old fashioned. The baked beans were great as well as the meat. Make sure you ask for butter with the bread because it's also great. Our server was also quite nice. 3 stars instead of 4 because the old fashioned was waaaaay too sweet. For a place that has so many bourbon and whiskey offerings, this old fashioned was below average. read more

Salt + smoke has one of the best patios on Main Street. They are also one of the few places that seem to be open on a Monday night which led to quite a crowd. We were still seated quickly and a waitress came to take our order for drinks and let us know our waiter had just seated a large table so she was helping him out. She ended up taking our food order as we could still be was still dealing with his large party. He later came by and apologized which was unnecessary but very nice of him. I had the pimento chicken sandwich. It was good but had a very small amount of pimento cheese which was disappointing. The Mac and cheese was ok but not as tasty as I remembered before. All in all it's a great place and we tend to frequent it pretty regularly. All of the staff is very friendly and the service is quick. read more

Yum yum yum. Always a favorite BBQ spot in STL! Burnt ends are my fav, but mixed it with some lean meat this time. So good! Fries are so good. And always love their sauces!! read more

Really fantastic food with the exception of a couple items. Everything was extremely well presented on the plate. We had a couple of 2 three meat Besties and 2 two meat Besties. We started with the fried pickles and deviled eggs. The Pickles were a variety of pickles including slices, gerkins, and spears with a tasty honey mustard. I liked the Deviled Eggs but they weren't anything special. I would like more dill in the yolk creme myself. The meats we all got were the Burnt Ends (Amazing), pulled pork (very good), puller chicken (great roasted flavor), trash ribs (hard pass, they were terrible), Brisket (perfection). I tried the "I can't even" sauce and it was definitely good but not even close to anything remotely hot to me. They have their own version of Carolina Gold that is quite good! I loved the white cheddar and mac that came with mine and the beef fat fries are primo! They served a horsey sauce with the plate that I'm pretty mich the only one who liked it. It's one of those things you like or hate. Prime Rib fans will appreciate it. I deleted the wrong pic or I'd have 4 plates, ugh. Also, Shawn our server was colorful in demeanor, entertaining, and on point! Definitely one of their top servers I'm sure and I was watching the entire staff work. In the end, a must try! 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

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

Cute restaurant located on Main Street. It was my first time in St. Louis and this is a great place to taste the local favorites. Fried ravioli - interesting. A bit greasy but a nice a nice change in texture. BBQ ribs - It was tasty with and without bbq sauce. Very tender and not an overwhelming charcoal flavor. Place looks smaller than it seems so there may be a long wait time. read more

Our first time here was Easter Sunday after church. It was absolutely DELICIOUS. I have a picky 2 year old, and he LOVED the ribs. Pretty much ate all of them lol. we sat out on the patio. It felt amazing outside. I'd definitely visit again. Service was awesome, we were seated quickly read more

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

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

When going to St Charles, a friend recommended Salt + Smoke. After reading the Yelp reviews, we decided it was a "must go." It was a delicious experience! We started with an appetizer of the fried pickles. The coating had a delicious crunch and we loved the variety of both sweet and dill pickles. I ordered the brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese. Absolutely delectable! My Sweetie had the 3 meats platter with creamed corn and baked beans. He was impressed! We have a smoker and he knows what it takes to get those incredible flavors. We will be back anytime we are in the St. Louis area! read more

Salt + Smoke - Lunch before Santana. - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

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

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

We found this place on Yelp when looking for barbecue near the conference we were working. The historic downtown with cobblestone streets and vintage buildings was interesting, as was finding parking. However, the place was easy to find and seemed very busy. Despite that, we were seated quickly at a table near one of the fire pits (being from AZ, I felt chilly when the sun went down here!) Our waitress was friendly and asked if we had any questions, which we did since we'd never been here. We asked for some recommendations and received definitive answers. (They were out of the pulled pork, but, to be fair, it was very late in the day) I had sweet tea to drink, though they had a good variety of cocktails and some beers. The tea wasn't "Deep South" sweet (if you know, you know), which was what I'd hoped this time. That popover was a spectacle and the taste matched the looks. The creamed corn had some heat to it and a smoky, complex flavor. Very nice. The brisket was good, though it was cut with the grain instead of against it. I don't know if that was intentional, but I've never done that myself. It had a nice flavor and good "bark" on it. I was conflicted about ordering the wings vs. another meat, but they were fantastic and I recommend trying them, though the bologna with jalapeños and cheese is also interesting. Service was attentive, our drinks were kept full, portions were large, and billing was correct and quick. "True" St. Louis BBQ? No idea, but I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again. read more

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Accommodating for people with dietary restrictions and food allergies. The ribs had good flavor...but were dry unfortunately. Brisket was ok...but a bit dry as well (be advised...It comes sauced unless you request otherwise). Cesar salad dressing was good. May try again on a different day...hopefully the meat will be more moist. read more

Salt & Smoke never disappoints, no matter which location. This one is in old town St. Charles right along with the old houses and small businesses - it's almost hidden. But you'll know when you're there when you smell the salt and smoke! I've eaten indoors and their outdoor area and either way, it's a great experience. All locations, including this one, have the same great friendly service and of course, the great mouthwatering food that keeps us coming back. Keep it up! read more

Salt + Smoke - Pulled chicken sandwich with fries and Mac - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Charles, Missouri

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

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

Interesting Place in Historic Area We were on a trip from Illinois to Florida with a stop over in the St. Louis area and needed to get bbq. We checked various review sites and decided on this one. We went there after sunset and sadly we didn't see much of the old buildings or décor that line the cobblestone Main St. It is a hot spot for locals and was quite busy for a Wednesday night. Most of the shops were closed, but Salt and Smoke was open and bustling. They have a great patio for outdoor dining, or just to share some time over drinks. We sat inside as it was just a little too cool outside for us. You can tell it's an old place with newer updates. The Bar Menu is fairly expansive that includes a good selection of draft beers and house special cocktails. This is the place to visit if you want to try whiskeys and bourbons. I suspect there's at least 200 to choose from. I started with a Urban Chestnut O Katz Marzen Lager and chased that with a Old Bakery Citrus Wheat. Both on tap at $8.00 per pint. As I think back now, we should have tried the Fried Chicken Skins on the Appetizer Menu. They are a fairly new foodie item and we have yet to try them. As it was late, we wanted to try a few things, but not eat a large meal, so we selected the Bestie Combo 2 ($20.99). We opted for brisket and ribs as our two meats along with Beef Fat Fries and the Green Bean and Tomato Salad as our sides. It also comes with a Bacon and Cheddar Popover. It was only a short wait until our meal came out. We wasted no time getting into the fries. It's true, fries fried in beef fat are excellent. They taste great. The Bean and Tomato Salad is cold and was tossed in a vinaigrette. A light, fresh taste. As for the meats, our server said this would be plenty for the two of us to share. Not for us - three St. Louis pork ribs and two chunks of brisket. While smoked and seasoned well, there wasn't enough of either to try bites with the different bbq sauces they have on the table. I found my finger to work well for trying their sauces and one sauce was better than the next. The popover was killer. I wish we could have ordered a basket of them. Order heavier on the meats if there's a couple of you and do an appetizer to have a filling meal. 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

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

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

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
