    Brisket Sandwich
    Faith R.

    Sooo yummy!! Stopped here for lunch while in Missouri for a work trip. I placed an order to go and ate it at the restaurant at the bar. I got the brisket sandwich, toasted ravioli, and fries chicken skins. All were soooo amazing. They have about 5 or 6 sauces to choose from in big bottles on the table. The chicken skins come with a mustard seed sauce too which paired well. My absolute favorite was the pimento cheese toasted ravioli and it was also the best toasted ravioli I had being in St. Louis. I would definitely come here again.

    After a long day at the conference we finally got a chance to get free. The other day it was Creole but today it was BBQ The Cardinals were in town so it was a bit crazy and crowded around the Ballpark village, but we were able to get in at Salt + Smoke. The smell in the air drew us in like a cartoon character floating in from the aroma by the nose Once seated instantly had to get a Missouri-style old fashioned cocktail that was just what we needed after a few blocks walk to get there. Seldomly, do you see deviled eggs with bacon on the menu so had to order some while we waited on our food. They were good but the yolk was heavily whipped and wasn't as flavorful as you would think, but overall still above average Because smoked food is often prepared well in advance, the good thing is you didn't have to wait very long. Jake was great and quickly delivered our food and immediately got to work I had the three meat platter which consisted of three ribs, three smoke wings, and brisket. The sides were creamy corn and coleslaw. The meats were good, but the brisket was rather dry and the ribs were the all-star. The coleslaw was nothing to write home about as it was pretty average but for me I loved the corn My wife got the smoked wings meal and they were just as delicious as mine, obviously because they were probably from the same batch, but they were meaty and not anemic wings like some joints. The beans w/bacon were so-so but better than average however not like going to the family reunion beans. Her favorite side was the mac and cheese which I concur was very good. They had some popovers included which the outer crust was good but the inside felt like they were undercooked and very doughy Overall we'd rated a B+ as it was right across from the Cardinals stadium and you get the ballgame vibe, the convenience + atmosphere which being in town for only a few days gives an opportunity to check out the other bars and multiple activities in a confined area

    First of all, it's not a full 4 stars, it's more like 3.75 stars. Hubs and I were in town to go to the Arch and after driving for quite some time, we happen to find this place. Since we're completely tourists, we we weren't sure where the door was. I found a gate leading to a patio and entered that way. As we got into the restaurant there was a man leaving and as he noticed we came in via the gate, gave us the dirtiest look and proceeded to lock the gate. Now on to the restaurant itself. Hubs and I shared the "Bestie combo" with pulled pork and brisket, fries and coleslaw. Fries were yummy. Hotangy BBQ sauce YUMMY! The meat was good. Probably could have used more, but live and learn. Local soda was a substitute for diet diet coke and it tasted like Pepsi. You all know I'm a Diet coke drinker. Service was a little slow, he was busy. We'll try a different BBQ place if we're ever in town again.

    1/2 Kale Crunch Salad

    First time ordering from here and it was okay. I ordered the bestie combo with burnt ends and pulled chicken. For my sides I got a side kale salad and mac and cheese . The mac and cheese had rave reviews , it was good but not outstanding. The chicken left a lot to be desired but the burnt ends were tasty. I loved the sauces you can get. The Alabama Ranch and Mustarolina were my favorites , so good. I loved the beef fat fries - those were super good. I was disappointed the staff is stingy with the salad dressing, who wants have a cup filled of dressing.

    Came here while visiting St. Louis since multiple people told me I had to try the BBQ. It's also right next to Busch Stadium, so the location is great and the area around it feels lively and fun. First impressions were honestly fantastic. The inside is clean, cozy, and has that polished BBQ picnic vibe with the red-and-white gingham wrapped silverware and warm lighting. Think upscale backyard cookout energy. We waited around 10 minutes for a table, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how popular the place seemed. The service was excellent the entire time. Staff were attentive, friendly, and constantly checking in to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. Atmosphere and service were genuinely 5/5. Unfortunately, the food itself was a huge disappointment for me. I'm from Texas, so I fully admit my BBQ standards are probably unfairly high, but I still expected more given how highly recommended this place was. I ordered the two meat platter with ribs and brisket, plus fries, a popover, and a kale salad. The ribs were incredibly dry. Not "firm bite" dry. Actually dry. I had to pull the meat off the bone manually and even then it wasn't tender. The brisket was even rougher for me. Overcooked, overly charred, and chewy enough that my TMJ literally started clicking while trying to eat it. I know I ordered dry rub. I did not order dry meat. The fries also let me down because they came out soggy instead of crispy. If I'm committing my daily calorie budget to beef-fat fries, I need them to crunch. The popover was just okay. Nothing memorable. Oddly enough, the kale salad ended up being one of the better things on the table because it actually tasted fresh and balanced. The sauces were probably the strongest part of the BBQ itself. I especially liked the "I Can't Even" sauce, which honestly matched my emotional state while eating the brisket. Sweet, tangy, smoky, and actually flavorful. I will say the pricing itself seemed fair for BBQ portions. My frustration was more that the execution didn't match the reputation at all. Maybe it was an off night or maybe being close to closing affected things, but I don't think that excuses serving meat that dry. I ended up boxing most of it up because I couldn't finish it and gave it away afterward so the food wouldn't go to waste. Overall, this place absolutely nails the atmosphere and service side of dining out. If I were rating only those, it'd easily be 5 stars. But for BBQ specifically, especially as someone raised on Texas barbecue, the food really missed the mark for me.

    Stopped in St Louis for a ball game during a road trip from Louisiana to Michigan. We had a pre game bite to eat at salt and smoke - and the most delightful cocktails.staff was great, food was delicious - and the location... amazing. It's situated right next to the baseball plaza and is a perfect place to begin a game day. Floor to ceiling windows all along the street so you can take it all in. Highly recommend.

    Two meat plate with pulled pork and ribs with baked beans and Potato Salad
    Christina A.

    Located in ballpark village and one of the only things open later when a game is not going on. The deviled eggs and sides were the best part of the meal. Bbq is different depending what part of the country you're from but the original sauce was too sweet for me and the other ones just weren't to my liking. The service is what gave this place low stars. The hostess were very friendly. We were told 25 minute wait but watched another party walk in and ask about the the tables outside that they were able to just sit down at. We asked about the other table and were told we could sit after waiting thirty minutes, not sure why they weren't using those tables to begin with and weren't asking if people wanted to sit inside our outside. Our waitress was just terrible. Took her forever to come to our table, we were ready when she finally showed up but would only take our drink orders. We heard her tell the other table as well who was ready to order they'd have to wait until she came back with the drinks. She also didn't come around to check on us and only offered the table next to us refills. A bus boy also passed our table asked to remove empty plates but left ours.

    Ribs 1/2 Rack
    Jason C.

    Got the half slab of ribs, and it was all so tasty! Sat at the bar which was super chill. Bartender was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Loved the nice range of sauces for my fall-off-the-bone ribs. Can't point out a single fault in my dinner experience.

    BBQ sauces

    There are multiple locations and locals told me this one wasn't the best. Maybe don't let this review completely put you off if you are headed to one of the other locations. This one was the most convenient from my nearby hotel and a nice walk through town, so we went. We also visited nearby Sugarfire Smokehouse on this trip and it was a no contest win for Sugarfire. My overall impression of Salt & Smoke is that it is all style and no substance. Beautiful smoke ring on the ribs that was very pleasing to the eye. The meat pulled clean off the bone like it should, but it was tough to chew and the smoke flavor was completely missing. Sides here were just fine, but not noteworthy. My favorite bite on the plate was the Mac and Cheese. The popover looked cool, but tasted like nothing. Beans were beans. Sauces were all forgettable. Thinking back, I don't even remember them enough to describe the differences. Contrast all that with Sugarfire whose Honey Badger sauce I meant to buy and take home and whose ribs had delicious smoky flavor and my choice is easy. Travel another five minutes for much better BBQ.

    Bestie Combo 2
    Money F.

    I ordered the Bestie Combo (2 meats, 2 sides). My choices were brisket and spicy ribs. I had 3 ribs and 3 short slices of brisket. The meats were very well seasoned and tender! My sides were the mac and potato salad. Both were also good! I rarely order mac but today I said why not? I actually liked the crackers on top. (I'm not a breadcrumbs on mac person.) The portion was small in my opinion. If this were for my husband and I to share, it wouldn't be enough. I haven't purchased bbq in a long time so I don't know what the cost should be. Hopefully $20 wasn't too much. The inside is beautiful! Not sure that the food made me want to visit again but I am glad I tried it.

    I thought I had tried salt + smoke before but I DEFINITELY would've remembered this! I didn't feel like getting too messy so I ordered the Oklahoma bacon cheeseburger and oh my god... one of the best burgers I've ever had. Full stop. The place was getting busy around 11am and by the time we were leaving the place was packed. I don't think there was an empty seat left. The service wasn't anything special until toward the end, the waiter started to let their personality show. They were so great with the two kids though! Definitely need to come back and try their ribs next!

    Bestie Combo 2 with 3 dry ribs
    Kris G.

    Located in the Ballpark village area somewhat near the arch, I ordered takeout from here on a recent trip between visiting the arch and heading back for meetings. I placed my order online via their website which uses Toast at 12:55pm the estimated time it would be ready was 1:14pm. I walked in at 1:16pm and picked up my order which was already waiting for me. Nice and smooth. I walked back to my hotel about 10-15 minutes and then unpacked my meal. I ordered the "Bestie Combo 2" with the Combo Dry Rib 3, Brisket Combo as my meats and the White Cheddar Cracker Mac & Beef Fat Fries as my sides. I also got the Mustarolina sauce on the side. All this also comes with a bacon & cheddar popover as well. I'm going to be honest, it was all pretty cold by the time I got it back to my room and microwaves or ovens or air fryers are really not a thing in a lot of hotel rooms. So room temp or cold is the way I had to go. Stand outs. The ribs and the fries. The fries came in a special container that was "sealed for my safety". Not sure if that's so in delivery people don't steal some of my fries or it's supposed to keep the hot fries from burning skin while still giving them a vent to stay crispy or what, but it worked. The fries were still crispy and flavorful even while being room temp. They must be amazing hot. I love that they were still crispy as takeout which is really hard to do. The St Louis Cut ribs. Their menu describes this as "St. Louis cut is a combination of spare and the baby back cut, think middle of the rib." I had the option of sweet and hot but I went with the dry rub. I want the meat and its spices flavor and smoke to standout before any sauce. Three came in an order, and even cold they were good. I liked the spices. The mustarolina sauce was good if you like the mustard style bbq sauces. I used it very sparingly as my fav items didn't need any sauce but I did try it and it could definitely be addictive. I don't know anything about any of their sauces before so perhaps there was a better choice but this one was good. Just ok The brisket was ok. I got 3 slices in this combo as well. I think it may have been better if it was fresh. I also prefer fatty brisket to leaner brisket as I find lean brisket to get drier faster. The Mac and cheese. The crackers added an interesting twist but again it's probably 10 times better fresh and warm. The popover probably faired the worst in the time from when my order was prepared to when I could eat it. I'm sure it's better on site. But really nothing could save it. I would give this place a try. Get the ribs and the fries. And try to eat in there.

We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper.

I came with my parents and husband and we all agreed it was a great idea and a very comfortable space, perfect for what was needed. I was surprised at how relatively ample the parking was here despite its proximity to the city. We found a spot with no problems. There were discreet signs that directed us up the stairs to where the event was held. It was spacious, airy, and cool, with a decent number of tables and a very nice large bar, as well as restrooms for both men and women. Our family members who spoke were able to stand on a small stage and share their thoughts. The food was served buffet style in front of the stage. Although you'd think it might be hard to hear given the acoustics, they worked out a way to make it so their speeches could be heard easily. Even visiting with other folks after they spoke, it never became too loud to hear each other. There are also nice TVs which displayed photos of the family. Although we used the space for a celebration of life, I can imagine it would be a good fit for all sorts of events, from corporate parties to just a chill hang out space when it's open to the public. It did get a little bit hot in the space as the event wore on, but it wasn't intolerable. The food and drinks were also quite tasty, especially for catered/buffet style food. There were pretzel bites and cheese dip and three different types of slider burgers: a standard/original burger, a taco burger, and an Impossible burger. The pretzel bites were crispy and buttery. I had a taco burger slider. It was a tiny bit dry but had a great flavor. The bartenders were great -- friendly, answering questions, working efficiently, and very kind to all the guests. Husband enjoyed the beers he tried and my mom and I both ordered the "Cranberry Crush," which was a yummy (and strong!) cocktail that was bright and perfectly sweet. They also serve mocktails, which I love! Glad to include folks who are sober. Thanks, 4 Hands, for creating a welcoming and comfortable space for us!

Upon first glance, you'll notice the hanging lights above the entrance and then after a few feet, the bar is immediately to the right. The tables are all along the left side as to make a walkway for the bar (super convenient). Due it being their anniversary, it was a bit crowded but not too bad where you couldn't get a drink or walk through. My usual go-to is a flavored vodka (three olives grape) and sprite. While they had a plethora of spirits, sadly this wasn't one of them. They had other flavored vodkas but I opted to get a simple Cosmo while my friend got a makers and coke. The Cosmo was just what I needed and might I add, well made!After we got our drinks, we did a quick walk through of the other side called The Oddities (coming soon), as well as the upstairs that overlooks the entire place. The stairs are steep, so it would behoove you to hold on to the railing. While I love trying new places, I was a bit apprehensive because I thought I'd stick out like a sore thumb. Turns out, everyone was friendly, the drinks are great, and the music wasn't bad! They had different acts going on for this particular evening (I'm not sure if this is the norm), but I know my friend is a regular on Tuesday's for karaoke. I do intend to come back and try out some more drinks and food and check out the other place once it officially opens.

    I took my three daughters here on Memorial Day weekend. They all had cheeseburgers, I had a plate…read morewith ribs, brisket and pulled pork. They got fries and Mac and cheese. The pulled pork is some of the best I have ever eaten and the Mac and cheese was delicious. The burgers are exactly what you should expect from a good BBQ joint. The line to order was different than my kids were used to and we could have done a better job. Luckily it wasn't crowded and the customer service was extremely friendly.

    I really like the layout of this restaurant. You get in line, order your food, get a tray, pay, get…read moreyour drink and utensils, and then park yourself at a table. Anything that tastes a little bit more time to prepare they will bring out to you on the floor. Keeps things flowing very well. I got the four bones (baby backs), broccoli salad (premium side, one dollar up charge), and coleslaw. I also grabbed a piece of sweet cornbread with honey butter, and fried green tomatoes with a lemon aïoli. The bones were not rendered as much as I would've liked, the fat layers were still too thick. But the flavor was good. And every table has six different sauces and you can have as much sauce as you want. I tried them all, and my personal favorites were the Carolina mustard, and the Texas hot sauce. The white barbecue was also very interesting. But they're all good. Fried green tomatoes were terrific! Broccoli salad and the coleslaw were pretty tasteless. As was the cornbread. Really wouldn't describe that as sweet cornbread. It seemed a mostly just wheat flour cornbread. The honey butter on its own was really the best side. I'm not unhappy that I came here, but would I seek it out again or try something else in the area? I would try something else in the area. And for that reason I am leaning toward 3 starts. Although the staff is terrific and really hustles here, and that is why I have to bump this up to four stars.
