Who doesn't love a good BBQ place? Unfortunately South County doesn't see much BBQ loving restaurants so when this one popped up, we were ready to see what was going on. Its an order at the counter, seat yourself and they'll bring the goods to you type of place. Extremely friendly folks are ready to help you with your order. You get to see everything done right in front of you. I had a few questions about the menu and they answered everyone the best they could. We both finally settled on the Mangia Bene, one of their specialties. I'm picking about my condiments so I did not get Mo's sauce however my husband loves to try it all and said it was good on the meat. They cut the brisket right in front of you, get the fries going so they are fresh and hot and you are on your way. They do offer desserts and drinks as you make your way to the register. Sauces and general drinks are on both sides of the restaurant and some sauces are at your table. It truly was a good atmosphere and dining experience. read more

Our maiden voyage into this BBQ restaurant close by our home. FANTASTIC. I had the pulled pork & brisket platter with twice baked potato & broccoli casserole. My wife had pulled pork with twice baked potato & mac and cheese. Both platters come with delicious garlic bread. Everthing was delicious. We ordered the larger portion servings and were pleasantly happy with the portion sizes. My wife inquired about an offering in the food preparation line and was told it was the burnt ends. The preparer gave her a sampling. That is her order on our next visit. Which will be soon. The icing on the cake. The Three Stooges on the tvs. It's a win win enjoyable location and dining experience. read more

This is one of the best BBQ places I have been to, and I've tried BBQ all over the country. I tried the Brisket and the Pork Steak and they were phenomenal. The Pork Steak was incredibly tender and the Brisket I had on the Mangia Bene sandwich which had white sauce, Brisket and cheesy garlic bread. Amazing. The sides were also great - try the corn and the Texas potatoes. We finished off with Maple Bacon custard which was great. read more

Smokee Mo's Arnold BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Arnold, Missouri

See all

Every time we go we are never disappointed. When you walk in, take a second to just stand a moment and take in the smell. They are always friendly and have gone out of their way to please when we had one small problem with our food. It's a nice little place that I always recommend to my friends. read more

Stumbled on this place and thankfully I did. Great meats and enormous servings of sides. I want to say there were 5 different sauces. 1 I didnt care for but the rest were all great. Choice when it comes to sauces is a crucial part of a good bbq place. Highly recommend read more

I must say...best bbq I've had in the area outside of what I cook own my smoker/grill. :) I'm a hard critic when it comes to food but their bbq was on point. Worth the drive. The next time I want a break from cooking I will venture back here. Keep up the great work folks! read more

As you walk in it has such a beautiful aroma and welcoming atmosphere...then the fire nation attacked ruining a beautiful brisket by over cooking it to a dry standard. The chicken had a beautiful colour but once again petting the temperature get away causing a dry outcome. Ribs ended out as an over salted mess. This was a sad day for manhood may their grills be turned and the ashes cooled. In the end what saves them are tr here fixins and sauces. The carrots danced upon my palate like sugar fairies long since passed. The beans ever so savory with a beautif ti l peppery finish. The sauces bringing moisture back to the food referred to as a scorched earth policy. If you like sugarfire you'll love this place. Both fall in mediocre bbq in a westerned midwest establishment read more

Beat BBQ ever, highly recommended! My family loves to eat there whenever they get a chance.

I can't say one bad thing about this place it is delicious and the service is outstanding! The restaurant is always clean as well and the ambiance is amazing. read more

We love coming here. Smoked Mo's is as good if not better than the other bbq places in the city.

Just great food and service. Excellent place to go for bar b que!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walked in, saw that none of the employees were wearing masks, and walked out. What is the excuse for this? We're in the middle of a pandemic. I've been supporting a lot of local businesses lately, but I do so hoping the staff and owners are doing all they can to protect their customers. Not wearing masks is a blatant disregard for people's safety. read more

We've been here a few times. Everything we've ordered has been wonderful! This is a local, family run business. Their sauces are all good and they have a pretty varied selection, but I like their traditional. I, personally, am not a rib eater but I have heard they are fabulous! We love the smoked turkey, chicken, Italian sausage and the smokey burgers but their sides are all homemade and wonderful too! They have this amazing sandwich that I crave called the Mostrami STL! It's a pile of their fantastic pastrami, on garlic bread, with swiss cheese and coleslaw and this homemade mustard dressing that just pulls it all together. They also have some beautiful desserts. I wouldn't know how good they are because I've been too stuffed to try any. Not complaining! Lord help me, it's worth the drive! Go check 'em out, I think you'll be glad you did! read more

The atmosphere was great! They had live music and the musician was not only really good but great crowd interaction. It definitely made the cold rainy night enjoyable. It was pretty busy and we had about a 45 minute wait and the waiter only came to see us what seemed like 3 times the entire 2 hours we were there. Again, I think it was due to being busy but still important to note. Overall great experience and look forward to going back. Great food and entertainment.....how can you go wrong?! read more

Kind of pricey on the BBQ. The sandwich with the coleslaw was really good. Would get that again

My husband has been craving a pulled pork sandwich, so we tried this place for his birthday dinner. Their curbside pickup runs so smoothly and from when I called in our order to when it was ready for pickup was only 15 minutes. The pork sandwiches were huge (you really need two buns for the large) and the meat was cooked just right. We tried the Traditional and Hickory sauces....both excellent. Will definitely give it a try for dine-in once COVID19 dies down... read more

Arrived in the Lou and was hungry so found this place, one word AMAZING!!!! Moist meats, local ingredients, the bread! Their bread is fresh baked with cheese, so good! We got the 5 meat platter, I loved the broccoli casserole, cole slaw and did I mention the bread! The smoked sausage is the only thing I thought was fair but my husband loved it! Definitely a must try! read more

Funny that they talk about curb side during Covid yet no one had masks on when we went to get our food Wednesday night. To top it off the meats were fatty and greasy not seasoned or flavored plain. The BBQ sauce was mandatory for it to taste ok. Sad I love BBQ and wanted to love it. Even if the food had been amazing I'm not supporting places that will eventually spread the virus just by default. Please please please wear mask, it's the least you can do, it makes me wonder if anyone is washing their hands or doing other needed things to stay safe and sanitary read more

We love this place! The food is excellent and always a great variety. The price point in great too. Actually I like it more than a more popular similar BBQ option. read more

I can wholeheartedly recommend the pulled pork here. It's well smoked and perfectly tender. A six ounce sandwich is piled high and delicious. Unlike a lot of barbecue joints, they serve a good variety of sides. We tried the greens and twice-baked potatoes. The greens were good, but the potato was just OK. I would suggest you look at some of the other interesting-looking sides. We want to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Wow! We are consistently amazed at the mouth watering delights created by the smokin hott geniuses at Smokee Mo's in Arnold! My personal favorite is the Manga Bene, but when they have their Smoked Burgers I am happy to switch it up. The Burnt Ends are delish as well!! Pretty much any choice you make here is a winner!! If you haven't tried it yet, you are definitely missing out!! read more

This is supposed to be the best bbq in Arnold. It may be, but I found it just OK. Not much in the way of vegetative sides, the kind I prefer, but they do offer the meat unaccompanied. The ribs were very meaty and rather dry. The rub they're cooked with was not enough for good flavoring; the sauces on the side were necessary. I liked the sweet bbq and the mustard sauce better than the Carolina vinegar style. read more

Delicious and friendly ... carry out and dine in. My teens love it and so do I! Staff are on top of it and give great customer service.

Arrived too late the first time because they ran out of food. Tried again and we were less than impressed. Hyped up to be a great bbq place but we were disappointed in the food and the method of serving it. I've been to many bbq places and this was by far NOT the best. read more

Their bbq pork steak is to die for ... tender and succulent. I loved the beans and potstickers salad too. I just wish he used a delivery service. I'd get it more often. read more

Pretty impressed. Got our two meals to go and everything was still tasty at home. Wife didn't care for the baked beans because they had some onions and peppers on them but I enjoyed. Crinkle cut fries were good as well. I had pulled pork and she had chicken. Both portions were good. For $30 it was a little pricy but it was filling. Will come back but not often. read more

Excellent bbq. Will be coming back when I'm in the area. Great sides and the ribs are falling off the bone.

Great selection of proteins and sides. Friendly and helpful staff. Turkey is very good. Sauce selection is good too.

Brisket and ribs were done well. Smoke flavor was decent but not my personal favorite. Everything had a good flavor in general however EVERYTHING was served about room temperature, and that was at lunch time...1230. I would expect it to be warm at a prime meal time. Sauces were original & unique at least & a good compliment to the meats. If in the area for a meal time, I would give it one more shot to serve warm food, otherwise I wouldn't be driving out of my way. read more

Ho-lee-smokes this place is amazing! I can't say that I've ever had more perfect ribs. Even when I cook them myself! The house barbecue sauce was like none other. Going to go back to see if I can't buy a bottle for home! The broccoli casserole was better than what the previous reviews described. Twice-baked potato was something I have never had before, gonna have to steal that recipe while I'm there as well. All of the employees were super friendly all of the way down the line, they are hospitality professionals! This place beats even the more popular places in St Louis, trust me. read more

We can find better BBQ somewhere else: As I walked in I was trying to smell the smoke.. None to be found... The wall has the menu all over it and I spotted a pork steak plate and that sounded so good until the guy behind the counter went in the back and came out with something wrapped in aluminum foil I thought OH NO... He asked what I wanted for my sides and set it on the counter ... It looked so unappetizing right out of the slow cooker.. (it pulled apart like pulled pork) not my type of pork steak... The first thing I did was tried it without sauce OH NO ... I grabbed 3 different bottles of sauce and drenched that poor pork steak with all the sauces , I looked for a smoke ring tried to find a smoke taste but never found it.... My buddies ordered pulled pork sandwiches , one of them has been here before and seem to like it the other agreed with never again will we come here.... The parking is small and one of us had to park in a lot next door. Sorry we really was hoping to find some fantastic BBQ... read more

Read the reviews and was excited to try. People were friendly, accomodations were ok. Same scenario as Sugar Fire BBQ. Brisket was lukewarm, pork was room temperature, beans tasted like they opened a can and tossed in some barbaque sauce, no meat in them at all. Supossed to be garlic bread was hard and stone cold and did not taste like garlic. It was inbetween lunch and dinner rush, so maybe they just didnt care for only 4 customers in the place. Very disappointing. Two meats, two sides and drink was $17. Not worth it and won't be back! read more

A++++++. Enough said. Everything is great! All of their meats are tender and fresh. Sides change daily but I always go for the BBQ beans or the Fries. Both are exceptional!! read more

We visited St. Louis for a few days last spring. The only thing that stopped us from eating here every meal is that they don't do breakfast. LOL We are planning a KC road trip this fall and will be detouring to Arnold just for this bbq. Their pulled pork is out of this world. You have to try the twice baked potatoes. My mouth is literally watering typing this. read more

Solid bbq joint. Got the mo platter with 5 meats, and the half chicken. I loved the dark meat chicken, pulled pork and ribs the most. The white bbq sauce is to die for. And if they have the shrimp corn chowder, get it. Its smokey and just hints at a spicy undertone but does not burn my mouth with heat. The Texas potatoes were nice and cheesy and the broccoli casserole was good, but I would like to have the option of no breadcrumbs for us people not having carbs. I would also like to see Sprite zero on the soda fountain for people that want no calorie and no caffeine. All that said, good job and keep it coming as we will be back to try the burnt ends and pork steak. read more

Tried this new place. It was really good! Loved the brisket. The dressing on the spinach salad was delish. Kids had the turkey and said it was better than Sugarfire and elena (4yr old) said their gooey butter cake cookie was even better than the cookies at her school. Lol. read more

Smokee Mo's Arnold BBQ - Sooo goooood!! - Barbeque Near Me - Arnold, Missouri

Food was desent will not be back until your labor issue is resolved.i support unions.

This is my favorite BBQ place in the Greater St. Louis area. My favorites are the pulled pork and Texas potatoes. Big portions, good prices, friendly service. The old 3 Stooges reruns are a cute touch too. read more

Food was delicious, even my picky 6 yr old ate their entire chicken sandwich! The staff was very friendly & asked if I needed help with anything as I WAS JUGGLING 2 young kiddos & trays. They went above and beyond to assist. Their desserts are also definitely worth getting! The carrot cake was phenomenal! First time there & we will be back. read more

I usually go to Bandana's but decided to try this place. All I can say is I'll keep going to Bandana's. For what you spend you're not getting your money's worth. I got the Brisquit platter. Meat was OK. Beans, OK only. Potato salad, pretty good and for the bread you get a half slice. Basically the portions were on the small side. Not worth the money. read more
