    Ribs 1/2 Rack, brisket, Pit Beans w/Bacon Side, White Cheddar Cracker Mac Side. Popover
    Robin R.

    First time visit to Salt+Smoke restaurant, and brought family from out of town. Way to represent, St Louis! We joined the waitlist online and headed to the restaurant when our approximate wait time ended. Easy peasy! Tidy and charming dining area, not too visually busy. It was full when we dined late Saturday night, but our wait time after ordering was surprisingly fast! We were all extremely pleased and full with our brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. My sister's salmon sandwich was equally awesome and flavorful! Our sides - Mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and pit beans - were excellent. The Mac cheese was good, but lacked depth. (A little smoked Gouda might do the trick.) All told, I love this place. It's comfort food, like bbq should be, without a ton of fuss. Theres so much more to try on this menu: of course I'm going back.

    Wings and fried jalapeno + cheddar bologna

    In town for a volleyball tournament, we had a "parents' night out" and decided to grab some BBQ. One of the top recommendations we received was Salt + Smoke, so we gave it a try. We arrived around 4:30, and there were plenty of seats, but the place quickly filled up as the evening went on. Our waiter was very patient with our large group and offered helpful suggestions whenever we asked, which made the experience even better. I ordered the walnut Old Fashioned special along with the three-meat platter. The drink was solid, and the portions were generous. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the wings were large with a great smoky taste, and the fried jalapeno + cheddar bologna --while a bit different--was surprisingly delicious. For sides, I had the potato salad and mac and cheese, and both were excellent. Overall, a great spot with good food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in St. Louis!

    I had much much better BBQ in St.Louis before so compared to that this place was a bit of a disappointment. The food looks very good and the portions are quite generous for a great price, but the flavor profiles were either lacking or just not meshing with my taste buds. Outside of the food, the location and vibes are good and great for a nice casual dinner. Our server was very nice and helpful in making selections. Unfortunately, I just wasn't the biggest fan of the food.

    I visited her on a business trip. As someone living in Texas I have to say that Missouri BBQ doesn't compare to Texas BBQ. Salt and Smoke was tasty and I liked their menu but it wasn't as good as my favorite spots in Texas. I would try other bbq before I came back here but overall not bad.

    BBQ Bologna!
    Matthew O.

    Salt + Smoke was a super solid place to get BBQ. Since I already had ribs the day before, I wanted to try other BBQ items. I was not disappointed. The BBQ bologna was super unique. Loved how the edges got crispy and smoky. The bologna was also unique in that it was studded with jalapeño and cheddar cheese, adding an additional layer of flavor. The smoked wings were solid as well, but they were a little dry. However, I was blown away by the side dishes. They were some of the most unique sides I've had at a BBQ restaurant! Loved the Yorkshire Pudding/popover and the Mac n Cheese with the Ritz Cracker crumble on top. That made the crust so buttery and crunchy compared to the creamy noodles and cheese. Absolutely stunning sides I've dishes. Service was awesome, with super friendly staff and the ambiance was what you would want to see in a BBQ restaurant, one that is slightly quirky but also historical. All in all, another great place for BBQ in St. Louis! :)

    Wow, wow, wow! There's nowhere else to start with the description for this place. From the start of my arrival I was seated quickly, water brought right out and overall service was solid throughout. I ordered the combo plate with brisket, wings, Mac and cheese and the pit beans. Let me start with the wings and beans. Both of these items were the best I've ever had in their respective categories. Best wings ever! They were smoked in their dry rub which seemed like it was a cinnamon BBQ rub if I were to take a guess and they were incredible. The beans, were filled with meat and almost had more meat than bean and it was smoky, savory and incredible. I think I went to heaven for a moment when I ate these. Everything else was very solid and respectable. Good brisket, wasn't dry, but wasn't the best either, popover was a nice touch, and the Mac and cheese was wonderful and unique with a cracker crust. I'm not often in St Louis but next time I am, I will be coming back. 5/5

    Menu (04/2026)

    Another four years have passed since I've stepped foot into Salt + Smoke on Delmar Blvd., but happy to see, and taste, it's just as good in 2026 as it was in 2022! A coworker and I Uber'd over around 6pm on a Monday and were quickly seated at a table in towards the front of the restaurant. Our waitress came over with menus and water and gave us a few minutes to peruse the menu. Our waitress was friendly, she had a cool, subdued vibe. Once the two of us had beer in hand, we placed our dinner orders and sat back and caught up for a bit. It took maybe 10-15 minutes and our meals were brought over, pretty speedy service! For dinner, I ordered two meats "Bestie Combo", going with brisket and pulled chicken and for my sides I went with the sweet pepper potato salad and white cheddar cracker mac, served with their signature bacon & cheddar popover. The brisket was so tender and full of flavor and the pulled chicken had a nice black pepper spice to it. Of course, I had to dip everything and of the four main sauces at Salt + Smoke, I like their "My Sweet Bestie" and "Mustarolina" the best. What more can be said about their white cheddar cracker mac - This is so cheesy, creamy and I absolutely love the Ritz-like crackers crumbled on top. The surprise of my meal was how excellent the sweet pepper potato salad was! The flavor was wonderful and had a pleasant zesty-ness, and had a nice creaminess to it as well - I wish the bowl it came in was bigger, I wanted more of it! And to round out the meal, the bacon and cheddar popover was the perfect "mechanism" to mop up anything left on my plate. When it comes to pricing, for BBQ, I thought it seemed pretty in-line for what the year 2026 is, so it may be pricier but for the quality, it's fair, to me at least. Salt + Smoke is a "must stop at" restaurant for me whenever I come through St. Louis! Over the last four years, I've seen a few more locations pop up in St. Louis, but I sit in the camp that the Delmar Blvd. spot is the best. My Salt + Smoke craving has been satiated for now, but I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Brisket, pulled pork, mac & cheese, fries
    Eric H.

    I'm not lying when I say they have the best mac & cheese I've ever had in my entire life. I might have to attend a detox program and complete all 12 steps of macaroni addicts anonymous after eating that. I'm not a local resident, but I'm definitely coming back whenever I'm around.

    4 meat bestie combo:  2 briskets, 6 ribs, beef fat fries, Green Bean & Tomato Salad Side, and a popover.
    Christopher Q.

    Regular portions, tasty food, and amazing service. We came on a moderately noisy Monday afternoon. We ordered the 4 meat bestie combo and the 3 meat bestie combo(with both, you can choose 2 sides and a corresponding amount of meat, or types of meat.) the brisket was drier than I would like but it was very flavorful. With sauce, it was amazing! The ribs were smaller than I would like but also very flavorful and extremely tender. Most of the sides were alright, but the beef fat fries were outstandingly good and flavorful. For dessert, we had the gooey lemon pie. The blueberry compote was my favorite. The service was top notch and our waiter refilled our waters constantly and provided us with recommendations. Overall, the food was excellent although it was a little pricey.

    This place is always a winner for my vegetarian food and my meat eating husbands favorite! We were unfortunately staying at the hospital early in the year and they were one of the best options to order delivery from- and let me tell you- when you have this as an option you ALWAYS take it! Service with a smile and plenty of space to feel welcome!

    When you are in the Delmar Loop area,you immediately smell the BBQ in the air from Salt + Smoke. This is their original location and they now have multiple locations thru out the St. Louis area. This location is always busy but we were lucky enough to get seated immediately on a Sunday night. They have a gluten free menu which is always a plus but we were in the mood for just a few appetizers. We started with the Deviled eggs with Bacon which were fantastic and an order of Cherry Smoked wings with Sweet Trashed sauce. The wings were meaty and juicy and the BBQ sauce was so good we ended up buying a bottle to take home. Their menu is extensive offering salads,sandwiches,plates of BBQ and dessert. They have a nice selection of crafted beers and bourbons as well. If you want good St. Louis BBQ,this is definitely a place worth visiting.

    Falafel Burger and Cesar Salad
    Howard M.

    Salt + Smoke absolutely delivered on every level. The food was phenomenal perfectly smoked burger, sides that tasted homemade, and portions that leave you more than satisfied. Everything had so much flavor, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. I tried the falafel burger with brioche bun. Our server, Austin, made the experience even better. He was attentive without being overbearing, had great recommendations, and made us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was spot-on too, comfortable, and the kind of place you can relax with friends or family while still enjoying a top-notch meal. If you're craving BBQ done right with fantastic service, Salt + Smoke is the place. We'll definitely be back!

    First time here, and I really enjoyed it.We got "The SPB" pizza. The crust looks thick, but it was…read morelight and crisp. The sauce had a really fresh, slightly sweet flavor. The pork sausage was seasoned well and ground up so that it spread well in every bite. The pepperoncini and bacon filled out the flavor. It was really tasty. I got the Tamno Pivo beer to drink. It was a dark lager. It had a nice strong flavor, but not as strong as an Ale. We'll definitely be back. The staff helpful and patient, and the food came out surprisingly fast. It is a fun location and will be a great place to hang out in the nice weather.

    Getting another stamp in our Pizza Passport!!!!…read more Advise that this place is located across the street from the Side Project Brewery.. There is no indoor seating so if it's Hot (like it was when we went) be prepared. The rain cooled it off a bit. I highly recommend the Fries with Parm and Lemon Aioli for dipping!!! We ordered the SPB Special pizza. It was a bit spicy for us with all the peppercinis. But we kept trying to think What is Missing?? It's cheese!! There is no mozzarella or pizza cheese!! Just Parm. So if you want your pizza with cheese.... This one is not for you. We would not order this one again but would go back to try something else. The service was friendly and fast!
