Absolutely amazing! We came here last night and returned again today. We had the 3 meat plate and we ordered a 2nd 3 meat plate to share (both times) pulled pork, smoked hot wings dry rub, and brisket burnt ends, side of burnt chili, fries, and coleslaw. read more

This restaurant serves very good barbecue, and some unique dishes. My only drawback was my server wasn't very attentive, I had to ask another server to help me. Overall, the food was very good. read more

Through Google Maps, you can join the waiting list, which is a nice feature. It said there was a 10 min waiting list when I came on a Thursday night, but they were able to seat our party of 6 right away. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I had mostly appetizers and enjoyed everything that I tried. There was seating at the bar, downstairs and upstairs. Deviled Eggs $6 - 3 deviled eggs. They were tasty, but pricy. Smoked Wings $14 - 7 wings, moist on the inside. Kale Salad - Half size $8 - Good salad and decent portion for half size. Beef fat fries $6 - Crispy and perfectly cooked. Hush puppies $6 - 5 hush puppies, good flavor and texture. Popovers $3 - These deep fried mushroom-shaped bread things were pretty good. I didn't see them on the menu, but you can order them ala carte. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2023 read more

The best BBQ I have ever had. Ordered pulled chicken, brisket burnt ends, and smoked wings were phenomenal.

My boyfriend and I came here today. It is on the main strip in St Charles. There is street parking. Inside and outside seating. Upstairs and downstairs. They have a beautiful bar inside with the high shelves. Adam was our waiter and he was great and attentive. We sat outside and it was a little chilly but the do have some fire pits going to keep the guests warm. I wanted to try the whiskey flight for $26. And to be honest I didn't like any of them. My boyfriend loved the local soda they had! But honestly, this was the BEST BBQ I have ever had. My boyfriend had the S+S double bacon burger. He really enjoyed it with a side of white cheddar Mac which I thought looked great. They use shells instead of the tradition elbow noodles. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. It comes with a corn relish on it and it was so so good with their BBQ sauce. I tried all the sauces on the table with the side of fries. I loved them all. The mustard was my favorite I think. I also got a side of brisket chili, and I will come back just for that alone. Loved the experience and loved the food. read more

One of our revolving favorites. Have had several things on the menu all good. If you like Old Fashions their house made walnut is off the charts! Highly recommended. read more

Great place. We joined the waitlist on yelp and by the time we got to the restaurant we got right in. There is seating inside and outside. You will get served fast! Which is very nice. I had the burnt ends ravioli, maybe a little over fried, and a side crunch salad. My husband couldn't eat his popover because of dairy so I had that. I wished there was some honey butter or something to put on it, it was a little dry. The sauces on the table were nice with the meats and the secret sauce with the ravioli was good, a creamy garlicky sauce. The drinks are good as well, prickly pear sangria. There were many other things on the menu that looked tasty! read more

We got there and the staff ignored us for a good 10 minutes before we were seated. Then we waited 30 minutes without a server and had trouble getting any of the staffs attention. I had to ask our waiter if we were even assigned a server then he miraculously could serve us. The food was flavorless, cold, and our rolls were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Rude staff. Terrible experience. Do not go here. read more

I'll make this very short and quick, the only reason I'm posting this is a five star review is because Tom S, obviously one of the owners or managers always replies to these multi star reviews and does not respond to one or two star reviews at all. It really shows a lot about how they run their business in my opinion. That being said this is the second time our takeout order was terrible. The brisket was stringy and dry, and considering it was fatty brisket this should not be happening. The only thing they make good anymore is their mac & cheese. The size of their sides has shrunk for sure since when they first opened. For the price of this meal, I will not be returning back here. There are too many excellent options in this city, and I certainly hope that Tom S replies to this review with some type of comment that would make me want to come back again otherwise it's Sugarfire from now on. read more

Disappointing, shrinking portions, bad service & huge letdown. We spent over $95 for dinner with our family, only to receive extremely small portions that left everyone still hungry. For the price, I expected much more. What happened to this place it use to be so good!?!? To make matters worse, the BBQ was dry and lacked flavor--definitely not what I'd expect from a place that used to be known for great food. The service was equally disappointing. We sat at our table for 20 minutes before anyone came by to take our drink orders. Throughout the meal, we had to flag down the server just to get refills and, later, the check. It felt like we were being ignored the entire time. This place used to be a reliable go-to for our family, but it has clearly been declining. We won't be coming back. For the cost, the poor service, and food, it's not worth it anymore. Left feeling really ripped off. read more

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

Cool little BBQ joint in a historic downtown area. Staff is polite and friendly. Barbecue was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.

My new favorite BBQ in StL. Won't get BBQ anywhere else now! Besides having great ribs and pork, try the pulled chicken which is super tender. And the fried chicken skins are great! 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

One word: AMAZING! Stopped at the one in St Charles, Missouri while on a business trip with 3 other colleagues. The ambience was really cool. It was located in an area of town that has a "colonial" feel with cobblestone roads. There were both indoor and outdoor seating and either option is extremely cool. Was a nice evening so we sat outside. The service was very good and made perfect recommendations. I had a meal with the burnt-end brisket, green bean and tomato side, fries and a popover. To start the popover is really good ( bacon and cheeses baked in), and the green bean/ tomato salad was very good. Fries were perfectly made. The best for last; the brisket was absolutely transcendent! Perfectly smoked with different notes of smoke in/ on the meat; very tender and just about melted in your mouth. I actually had a moment when I had my first bite of the brisket as it may have been one of the best brisket I have had. If you are looking for a cool place to eat and love smoked or bbq meat, then definitely check it out, you will thank yourself for it! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Outstanding, food was delicious and service during a very busy day was very good! Need more characters.....

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

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

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Accommodating for people with dietary restrictions and food allergies. The ribs had good flavor...but were dry unfortunately.

Came in here for lunch on a work trip recently. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. The food came out almost immediately which at first impressed me but then I realized it was somewhat sloppily thrown together. The sandwich wasn't bad but it had some random grisly pieces of chicken and stuff I had to pick off which I didn't really dig. It has some pimento cheese / corn topping on there which again seemed like it was kinda dropped in haphazardly. The roll was nothing special. Overall not a bad sandwich just not something I'd order again. The ambiance and service was friendly and welcoming but aloof. This place thinks it's just a bit cooler than it actually is. read more
