The service on the other hand I called in my order to be picked up at 5:40 pm. i got there 5:45 paid the $3 more than the advertised prices on website. Asked if it was ready was told yes. Nope!! they hadn't even started it. When I told them I was going to be late for work and asked why they just started it, suddenly there was a communication error. The food is good but I'll find somewhere else to get my gizzards that I know the prices are consistent and a place that shows they appreciate my business by respecting my time.

I was told to leave my number and that Ray would call me to get my order set up, NO CALL! I came in again and was then told to call him and leave a voicemail, multiple voicemails left (until his voicemail was full), NO CALL! I came in to order yet again, and was told to come back when Ray was in, I did just that but yet he could not see me! If you don't want the business then just say NO!! I came in from May through August doing what was asked to set up my order to be met with different issues every single time! I met his wife today and she "apologized" and told me she was unsure if she could fulfill my order or not and wasn't sure when she would know! AND THIS IS HOW Y'ALL DO BUSINESS?! Just close already because you clearly don't know what you're doing and don't know how to do business and it gets to the point where it becomes disrespect to play with your customers!! She made it very clear that many catering customers were displeased! Now I see why so many people don't fool with y'all!! Shut this mf DOWN!! And this is Why it's so hard to do business with unprofessional Black owned businesses because they have poor communication, poor business practices, give customers the run around, and lack integrity to do right by people!!

Nostalgia! I haven't had snoots in a long time and it was…read morenostalgic to me to bite into one for the first time in almost a decade and a half. It's crispy and saucy. The snoot and rib tip combo is so worth it. All combos are $10.70. It's a lot of food for the price and it is well worth it. Next time I will get the brisket. The trick is to order inside because you do get your food faster. The drive thru line is super long bc all food is to order! There's not much seating inside but people mainly order and take their food to go. If you need a snoot, this is the place to go to! No frills, just great food.

Why did I give this 5 stars? Is it the best BBQ in St. Louis? No. It's the kind of BBQ that BBQ…read moresnobs would turn up their noses at. Heck, they don't even have brisket there. This is St. Louis barbecue, and by gosh, they've got the pig snoots to prove it. This is a place where you can bring home drive-thru BBQ for the whole family, and not feel like you just spent the better part of a day's wages. That's why. And did I mention they've got snoots?

I usually don't write reviews unless the place is bad. Well, this place is getting a review because…read moreit was just that, bad. We had eaten here before and the food was okay and we decided to give it another try. Well, this time, we were not pleased at all. I ordered a beef brisket sandwich and my husband ordered the half slab rib dinner plate. My beef brisket sandwich was embarrassing for a restaurant to serve. Not one slice of brisket on the bread at all. More like shreds of tough brisket loaded with sauce. I scraped all the shredded meat together and it filled only half of the bread. For the amount of money we paid for the brisket I was very upset. It was not worth my gas or time to return the sandwich. We will not return. And, they listed four desserts on the menu and only had one available. They were out of all of the others.

The food looked like it would be good. Today was the day. I made up my mind I'm going to try it. It's a small place. The person taking the order was very nice. We took the food home and it was delicious. I couldn't eat it all. We tried the turkey rib sandwich and the sweet and hot wings . Both came with fries. We subbed the fries for the side on the ribs. The food was cooked to order. I can definitely try this place again.

When I read some of these Saint Louis area reviews on food trucks, I laugh because a lot act like…read morethe food trucks just came this area around 6 years ago and it's a new hip thing. I also have to remind myself that a lot of the people saying this in their reviews may not originally be from the St Louis area (which is ok) or they have grown up in an area in St Louis that never had them. As far as I can remember, there were food trucks around my way back in the early 1980's. However, when I talk to the old heads, they go even further back to the 1960's in St Louis (and again that all depends on where you lived). So while the industry itself is not new to Saint Louis, my food experience with Street life is. When the Street Life truck pulled up at my location, I decided to do something I never do: try an oyster po'boy sandwich other than my mother's. ) It's just something I never would do, until now and wow the oysters were fried to a caramel brown perfection. The roll was fresh and nicely toasted. The pickles onions and aioli sauce complemented the fried oysters extremely well.  Fries were hot and crispy. The staff was courteous and nice. The wait time was about 10 minutes. 5/5 If the Street Life truck is ever in your vicinity, don't act brand new... Check them out!!!

We've eaten at Shortys since it's opened and other than the Gouda Mac and cheese being luke warm…read moremost of the time it's been awesome (I mean c'mon you're really there for the Q anyway) Not last night....four of us ate around 5:30....3 ordered ribs and 1 turkey w/sides. The ribs were horrible.....dried out and sparse on meat. Now I've had ribs here before and they've been great but it's been lunch time. ‍ The previously mentioned Mac and cheese wasn't good either ....they used to have noodles separate and then spoon cheese sauce on em. This version is sauce and noodles mixed but they were pretty void of sauce and also gummy. The slaw I had which is normally very good was mostly just dry cabbage. So let me reiterate EVERY other visit has been awesome I hope the fact that Shortys ownership has changed or their extended hours isn't causing this. I'm going to chalk it up as a bad night for them but my future visits will be earlier in the day to compare.

Let me just say--the pork steak was hands down the most tender I've had in Missouri. Everything we…read moreordered was absolutely delicious. We tried the smoked wings, pulled pork sandwich, those huge buttery baked potatoes, and the pork steaks... every single item was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because one of my items--a burger--was missing from my order. It was a small hiccup in what was otherwise an amazing experience. I also love that this establishment gives back to the community, which makes supporting them even better. Great food, great purpose, and a great vibe--I will definitely be back!
