Drove by this place a few times and finally stopped in. So glad I did, the food is on par with any of the better known BBQ joints here in town. We ordered: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, baked beans, green beans (wow), garlic bread, and slaw. everything was well done. The Carolina style vinegar style sauce was really tasty. We didn't try their White BBQ sauce but will next time. Well done and since they are close we will be hitting them again. read more

I discovered this place the last time I went home to St. Louis and I was so glad that I did. I would put it up there with Adam's and Bogart's for sure. I got some pulled pork, a few ribs, garlic cheese bread (I think that came with it iirr), a cheesy broccoli casserole, and some other sides. The ribs were very smoky and tender and the pulled pork was pretty smoky too. The sides were all excellent. I was so impressed that I bought a gift card for my sister's husband's parents for Christmas. read more

Very, very good. I got the turkey sandwich with potato salad. I purposely got the potato salad because it's hard to get a really good potato salad in a restaurant. The potato salad is the best I've very had from a restaurant. It was tasty with all the right seasoning and no skimping on ingredients. The turkey sandwich was tender and moist. There were 5 different sauces to chose, ranging from sweet, smokey, mustard, spicy and one other. My kiddos got fries with their pulled pork sandwiches. They liked their sandwiches also, the fries were seasoned and delicious. The eating area was very neat and clean, looks new with amply seating, nicely decorated. I want to go back and try some more tasties. read more

Love this place it is hands down the best smoked Bar b que anywhere. Try it you will not be disappointed at all. I crave there Pork Steak it is a total addiction!! read more

Finger kicking good. The twice baked potato is a little piece of heaven! The pulled pork melts in your mouth.

Everything I've tried has been amazing and the employees always seem to be having a great time. I love coming here!! I especially recommend the pulled pork nachos and the brisket. YUM!! read more

We have enjoyed their food BUT... we placed an order for Memorial Day weekend and the order taker entered the wrong date. My wife repeated the date but still entered for Monday not Sunday! When I went to pick it up a man insisted that they do not make mistakes. SURE. He said they could fill the order which the did, including two large slabs of FAT on the brisket. We go elsewhere now. read more

Always great food! Love the Mac and cheese and ribs there. Definitely one my favorite bbq places

Decided to try this place for take out and man I tell you I'm quite impressed.... I ordered the large brisket sandwich and it came with one side. The brisket was as juicy and tender as I have tasted EVER and had the perfect amount of smoke on it..... BBQ sauces were good as well, I only wish there was one with a bit more heat but most will find that they like what is here just fine..... I am anxious to see what else is hiding behind the rest of what is a very good looking menu. If your thinking BBQ in Arnold this is it, you will like what you see. read more

Good BBQ is hard to come by in this area. These guys do a pretty good job. I'm a brisket fan and their portions are much better than other places. The brisket is a 4/5 and I'm a pretty tuff judge on brisket. I've only had a 5/5 brisket before and that was in Naples Florida off a food truck surprisingly. Their sides seamed bland the first few visits but it appears they revamped them and are now definitely better. The homemade sauces are ok. The baby back ribs are good as well, I would prefer a more flavorful dry rub and the membrane removed but I'm not sure if any BBQ shop does that due to time constraints. That's just a personal preference at that level. Go there and enjoy, you won't be disappointed. The employees are very friendly and willing to help explain their products. They did a great job designing the place. read more

Very good barbecue! They give us the hook up at work on Saturdays. For about 200 bucks they bring us food for 20 people it's great!!

Delicious!! The pulled pork was pulled out of the oven and "pulled" apart as we ordered. Doesn't get more fresh than that! All of the sides we have tried were excellent too. And very easy on the wallet. read more

For starters, their sides are unbelievably flavorful and delicious! Not to mention better than Sugarfire!!! The smoked meats were very tender and well seasoned. And the Owner/manager was very friendly and came and sat down and talked to us. Thank you, Frank We Will Be Back for More!!!! read more

Outstanding BBQ! I loved the pulled pork. It had the perfect amount of moisture and burnt ends mixed in. The best baked beans I have ever had. I love the little kick in them. read more

went here for the 1st time for fathers day dinner... and cant wait to go back again! the pulled pork was amazing... and the sweet potato casserole? well, if they served this in 9x13 serving dishes... not sure if even THAT would be enough for me!! I have a great recipe for this... but they have a BETTER one!! add to that the staff being so very friendly... and we were happy campers! read more

Raw chicken,not impressed at all. I spent almost $100. On 4 people. Will never go back!

My 1/2 rack of ribs were great. My brother raved about the last time he had their turkey but said this time was way to dry. My other brother liked their smoked pork steak. I would go back. read more

First time here! The Mangia Bene was super good!! Friendly staff clean dining room and bathrooms!

Skip it. Dark, loud, poor acoustics. Food eh to disappointing. Ordered the burnt ends. Yeah, they weren't. There was no burnt ends on the plate. It was some pork chunks in some gross runny sauce slopped on top of mashed potatoes that were slopped on the plate. Both the potatoes and the meat sauce (how gross is that, meat sauce) were dripping off the side of the plate. The most unappealing dish I've seen. Dog food would look better. Served with Cheese garlic bread and baked beans. Beans slopped in little paper boat that was overflowing down the side. Again, very unappealing. Garlic bread was hard, had little to no flavor. I tasted neither cheese nor garlic and was overcooked. I did taste everything. It tasted as good as it looked. Ick. I returned it and asked for a hamburger. Burger was good, but again was served with crappy baked beans overflowing in a boat. Cheese on burger was bland and tasteless. Guy served burger, walked away, saying nothing about the $5.50 cost difference between what I paid and what I got. I had to ask cashier. Somehow magic math told her the difference between $13.99 (cost for burnt ends) and 8.99 (cost for burger) $4 even. No, its $5.00 plus tax. Not only am I disappointed in this place, I'm disappointed in friends who recommended it to me. I guess if you like slop, this is your place. read more

Tender and yummy BBQ! Hubs had turkey sandwich, coleslaw, and Texas potatoes. He enjoyed all of it. I had porksteak (HUGE!!!!), Texas potatoes, and carrots. Potatoes and pork steak (soooooo tender!) were delish. Sadly, while tasty, the carrots were rather over cooked. Would I recommend this place? You BETCHA! Go there and enjoy the BBQ! read more

Today was my third time in and I had the smoked brisket sandwich and it was to DIE for!! It it was fall apart tender and the flavor was FANTASTIC!!! Home made sides, definitely will be back!!!! read more

The nachos are bomb. You pick what meat you want on them. Hearty portion.

Food is always delicious. However, some items are often cold. We have been here multiple times after being recommended and the temp of the food has always been consistent-not exactly warm. Sides on the line especially and some of the main entrée items. Maybe better temperature control of the food is something to look into for management/ownership. It's always been very fast, even if there is a line, and staff is always friendly. We will try again soon. read more

This is my second time enjoying the awesome food at Smokee Mo's. This visit i had a pulled chicken sandwich with the best green bean casserole i have ever tasted as my side. The chicken was very tender & had a nice flavor, i added some of the house Mo's sauce to my chicken along with some BBQ sauce. The Mo's sauce is a horseradish Mayo combo. My friend & I split an order of the nachos with pulled chicken on it. The nachos are covered in baked beans & spicy cheese, i added a bit of the St. Louis sweet BBQ sauce to my side. The owner was here this evening & was handing out samples of the home made Italian sausage, it was so good that after we finished dinner i went and got one to take home for lunch tomorrow! My friends Large brisket sandwich with a twice baked potato was so good he could not stop talking about it through the whole meal. Cant with to go back I heard people in line asking if they had any meatballs today, definitely want to try that! Today's specials were burnt ends, Thanksgiving Thursday, & a steak burger which they make with some of the brisket. read more

Brisket was fatty and rubbery. Do they not smoke their meat here? Potato salad had no flavor but the beans were okay. Basically cafeteria quality food with a lot of online hype. Overpriced. Bandana's is a better bet for meh food. read more

Amazing!!! Nice look on the inside and absolutely wonderful smoked brisket!!! I had the mo's nachos loaded down with the brisket and it was awesome. The only down side to this whole place is the limited parking. We were in a large moving truck so we parked at auto zone next door and it was well worth the stop. read more

Definitely deserves 5 stars in my book. First off the theme of the restaurant with the Three Stooges had me sold. Then I tried the food and wow... blown away. The meat had enough flavor by itself, whether it be beef or poultry. The sides were yummy, and the bbq sauces were out of this world. I will definitely be back. read more

I am an out of towner that found this restaurant on a random Google search. And it was the best thing I've done in a long while! We walked in close to closing, but were welcomed by a warm, social staff. The food came to us quickly and was hot and fresh. In a word, this place was PHENOMENAL! The meat was perfectly smoked, the sauces were unique and delicious and the sides were amazing on their own. The portions were HUGE and the atmosphere was great, with old episodes of the three stooges playing on the TV. As we told the staff how amazing the food was, the owner came out and we chatted for awhile. Not only did we enjoy an absolutely perfect meal, we were made to feel very welcome by the owner of the restaurant!! The only sad part is that we live 6 hours away Thank you Smokee Mo's for an awesome welcome to St. Louis!! read more

This is St Louis's best Bar-B-Que restaurant. This is known for the sandwich: Mange Bene. It is too big to eat and I like to eat. The meat is very tender and the garlic cheese bread is the Bomb. The sides are made from natural ingredients. Every detail is taken into consideration. This is a great place to eat!!!!! read more

This place has been open for awhile and somehow I missed it. Ordered 8 oz of brisket with 2 sides - cole slaw and baked beans. Talking to the man at the counter about BBQ and he gave me a free side of chili. Also ordered a 1/2 slab to share at the table. The place looks very similar to Sugarspice, even the location of drinks before you get to the counter. The food was exceptional. Brisket was smokey and hand cut into thick slices. It was very tender with a nice smoke ring. Beans were chock full of meat and sweet. The ribs were dry rubbed, nicely sweet and little spicy. Several home made sauces on the condiment counter, including Carolina vinegar, and white BBQ. I was very pleased with the portion size, quality of food was very high. Great effort goes into every product. I was able to find the owner, Eva, and we talked BBQ for a few minutes. She is very proud of her restaurant and it was fun talking to her. Family behind the counter, including several young people. Very happy with this place, very accessible for those of us who live in south county. read more

I was looking forward to having bbq on the 4th of July. First time here and I ordered the burnt ends platter. The meat was way too salty. I tried putting lots of bbq sauce on it but that salty taste could not be tamed! Also there was too much fat to cut off the meat. The slaw and twice baked potato were blah tasting. read more

As I read through some of the other reviews I shake my head and ask myself, "Did I really go to the same restaurant as these people?" I love BBQ and haven't ever been so let down as I was by Smokee Mo's. My husband and I had been looking forward to checking it out, and we finally got the opportunity last Saturday. It was very crowded, which I took to be a good sign. We both ordered the pork platter. He ordered a large, while I ordered a regular. We both got the same size scoop of greasy, fatty pulled pork. (Of course, that didn't stop the cashier from charging us for 2 large portions.) For sides, he had the twice baked potato, I had the broccoli casserole, and we both had baked beans. Everything but the broccoli casserole was cold. Not lukewarm, seriously cold. The portions of the sides were so small they seemed more like a sample. The food was quite expensive for minuscule portions, with a bill totaling over $30. Needless to say our experience was bad enough, I won't try it again. read more

Super awesome BBQ! Pulled chicken and twice baked potato are so good! Love the white BBQ sauce....can eat that on everything! Staff was super friendly. Burnt Ends were super too....and the Mac n cheese..yum! Will be back when we come to the area again! read more

Great barbecue with rotating specials and sides. My entire family can find something they like here. It's become one of our local favs. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Perhaps we went in expecting too much. Pulled pork and pork steak were good, that's all I can say for the pros. Like others have said, the sides are cold and lack flavor. Ribs were dry. Service is so bad!!! The guys who serve the food were personable but the young cashier and the lady bagging the food were incredibly rude! Not sure why. We watched guest after guest being treated like they were a burden by these two. Food isn't worth being treated like a nuisance and the price certainly isn't! read more

Hands down one of the best BBQ joints in the country. Atmosphere is COOL, staff is ultra friendly, cakes are homemade delicious, spinach salad is the real deal, and Pork Steak Platter (awesome) is just one of the "you can't go wrong ordering" selections. So until the next visit (soon)........ Mangia Bene !!!! read more

Took the kids here, and they loved it as much as we did. We have been there 4 times now, and will keep going at every chance. We get great deserts, and always take them home for a late treat. read more

I had heard great things about this place so I thought I would try it out. We were surprised to see no one in the restaurant at 6pm on a Sunday evening. We then ordered our food, by a man who was less than pleased he had to help us. Dinner for two cost us $30ish, coupled with the great things we have heard we were expecting some pretty good food. We were VERY disappointed by the quality of food we received. ALL of the food was lukewarm, who wants lukewarm Mac & Cheese or baked beans? Save your money and go to Bandanas, much better quality and hot food. read more

So very excited to have a great BBQ option in South St. Louis County! Have been here several times and have never had a bad experience. They have rotating sides, including cheesy broccoli casserole and green bean casserole, garlic bread, and all the more typical side items. I've always gotten the turkey sandwich or plate and the meat is always perfect and tender. Whole family helps out with running the place. Beyond the food, the people who run this are just NICE. I usually come in with two small kids and meal is passed out on a tray. Three trays, two hands, right? I've never had anyone not notice that I can't get all our stuff to our table and offer to help. Kid drops his cookie down the back wall of the booth, I go up to buy another one, and they gave it to me for free. Multiple sauces to try--there's a jalapeño and a vinegar-based spicy one that's great. read more

Walked over here after watching the eclipse in Arnold City Park. The only reason why I gave Mo's a 4 instead of a 5 was that the brisket wasn't as tender as it could have been (or even as my wife and I cook brisket at home). So, I could've used a knife, although knives were few and far between. But, the macaroni and cheese was great. As were the collard greens. And the cheese bread was fine. I kind of liked serving the meat slices on a sheet of paper (butcher paper? although brown). The bottles of sauces I could take to the table were very good: Carolina (kind of sour) and the BBQ (kind of spicy). Thought the prices were reasonable. I was filled on just the regular portion of meat. read more
