Yum. My brother got the red bird, if I come back I'll get that. I got the whitewall and added arugula. I also got pretzels and cheese. I think the pretzels were what made it so grand. My brother thought it was the cheese. Either way, I'll do it again. read more

Everything was wonderful! We had ribs, chicken wings, pulled pork and corned beef brisket. All were moist and delicious. It's a cool dive neighborhood restaurant just out of downtown among some really cute houses with pretty gardens. read more

This was a great find! I visit a different BBQ place every year for my birthday. First place we have been to that everybody loved what they ordered! Amazing food & owners were super nice and made us feel at home! Definitely coming back! read more

OMG, everything we had was amazing, corned beef, ribs, turkey and brisket . The sides we had were, chili, beans , slaw, and creamy cabbage all were VERY good. Beet salad ALSO wonderful. Our waitress Kelli was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and friendly read more

Very good bbq. One of the best brisket in town since they were able to keep it moist and tender even with a to go order. The dry rub was very good and fat was rendered well. The chicken sandwich was good but wasnt seasoned as well as poultry from other bbq places like dalies or sugarfire. I liked the ciabatta bread and pickled peppers. Their spicy bbq sauce was more like a Hooters wing sauce but not bad. The sweet sauce wasnt too sweet, kind of neutral. The baked beans were mild and savory. Lots of big pieces of pork belly. The mac and cheese was very creamy and mild flavor. read more

I've been to this place a couple times now. I would say that the food is good but that the prices are extremely high for what you get. I'm not talking about High barbecue prices because that's expected. I'm talking about spending $50 for a person for lunch. I had ribs and brisket and sausage and a couple sides. All were decent and maybe better than decent but the cost just didn't seem to be any kind of value at all. It probably is one of the better barbecue places in St. Louis to be fair. So, maybe that's why they price things where they do. I just don't think it's for me read more

Stellar Hog has THE best ribs in town! SOOO meaty! And their wings are huge. The glaze is delicious so use the bread to sop it up. creamy cabbage might not sound like it, but it is one of the best sides. read more

Great BBQ at an awesome neighborhood restaurant. You won't regret going to Stellar Hog.

Visited this last nite with a good buddy of mine...we are always on the lookout for new places and especially BBQ oriented places. First off, seating was quick and the overall mood of the place is perfect for the food that is served. Waitress was quick to serve our drinks and explain the menu and her favorites. Everything on the menu looked very appealing! I had the White Wall brisket sammich and one side along with a cold Busch on tap. I'm typically not a big brisket fan because in the past I have found that is to greasy for my liking. This however was smoked brisket, smoked gouda, horseradish cream, and pickled red onion on a toasted hoagie....deeeelish!!! I had the pit beans for my side...all for 20.00 which included one beer and the tip. Overall a great eating experience and I will most definitely be back with my bride. Great place...The Stellar Hog...TASTEE!! read more

Good bbq. Fun atmosphere. It's never been busy when we've been there so I don't know if there is a time to avoid.

The food quantities were worth the prices. The brisket had a really good smoke ring along with great flavor. Their signature sauces paired very nicely with the pulled pork. read more

Great food, stellar food and kind service. First time there today. Smoked Rubin was to die for. Not really but just dang it was delicious. Love it. I'll be back. read more

This place is the real deal!! Hidden gem in south city. Came here with my mom and brother and all of us were thoroughly impressed. Key word is FRESH. We could tell from our apps (fried pretzel sticks and smoked/fried wings) that the items were freshly prepared. Same for the rest of the items in our meal. They clearly take pride in what they're putting on the table! We had the beef brisket and corned beef brisket. Both were tender and extremely tasty. The creamy cabbage with corned beef was unique and by far our favorite side. Again everything prepared fresh and we could tell. Dessert was a s'mores bread pudding. It sounded interesting, so we tried it. Unsurprisingly, this also knocked our socks off. Crispy outside, soft inside, graham cracker crunch with freshly warmed marshmallow and chocolate. Yum. Absolute homerun, can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

We were told by someone that this place had the best ribs they had ever eaten. Well they must've caught it on a good day. We ordered the 1/2 Ribs, 1/4lb Brisket, Fries, and Pit Beans. After waiting for over an hour and still no food, we asked a dining room attendant (they do not take your order) for the status of our food. She seemed shock that we'd been waiting that long. She went back into the kitchen and returned to say that it would be out shortly. About 5 minutes later the food was served. The Fries were fresh out of the frier, and the rest appeared to be right out of the microwave. The ribs were barely room temperature, over cooked, dry and tough. I can normally eat a whole slab of ribs with no problem, but after two ribs I'd had all that I wanted to eat. A man that we assumed was a manager came out and said they'd give us a 1/2lb of Pulled Pork to go, for the wait. I have served as a judge at multiple Bar-B-Que competitions, and these were some of the worst ribs I'd eaten. Presentation = Good Temperature = Bad Cook = Over Cooked & Dry. We will not return! to waste another $40. read more

The food is decent and my brisket was perfectly tender. The absolute biggest issue is their ordering systems and back of bar. I was prepared to have a couple of drinks on the patio; we ordered through the QR code. Drinks never came. Waitress brought out our food (that was our first time seeing her) but never got our cocktails and then when we finished and I mentioned again I never got my drink or our sodas they couldn't figure out how to use their system to issue a refund. I get times are tough after Covid but what I saw were people behind the bar more interested in talking than working and had no perception of customers needing service. We had been several times before Covid and sat inside, but I think that's the last time I'll go back there. read more

Great food and great service. The pulled pork was amazing as well as the white wall sandwich and the Mac and cheese.

Best ribs I'd had in St Louis can't wait to go back in the spring and take advantage of the outdoor seating.

Lives up to the hype! We did brisket plate and pulled pork fries- both were amazing. Generous portion sizes and I personally thought the pork and brisket were both perfectly cooked. Brussel sprouts were amazing as well. This is our new go to BBQ joint in STL. read more

VERY GOOD!!!! Can't wait to go back. These ribs were the best I've had and we loved the fry's.

We were looking for some good meaty ribs after being disappointed at some other places on the South Side. Oh man. Stellar Hog is a home run. Baby backs were huge and full of meat, really tender and great flavor. Great sauces and the bread is so much better than the Texas toast at the other place. Friendly staff, easy take out experience. You guys got it going on. We'll be back! read more

Really good smoked meat and great sides. Service was good and a nice atmosphere inside and out. Beer garden with plenty of room.

They're doing things the right way. We started with a (rather large) order of the pulled pork fries. Eight minutes later the last glob of cheese sauce was claimed by the baby and the rout was on. The rest of our meal was just as enjoyable. The ribs have a slightly sweet and salty rub, great smokiness and ever so tender, but with great chew. The best part, they are not boiled! The brisket was tender and mildly seasoned, perfect for a dip in the mustard-based BBQ sauce. Fish and chips were classicly done as well. If we're ever back in St. Louis we will be sure to seek out this neighborhood gem. read more

Was house sitting in South City. Heard great things. Tried several times to visit. Closed Thursday even tho website said open. Arrived at 8:20p on Saturday (5/7) Closed. Just arrived (Tuesday, May 10) at 5:30. Facebook and website say they are open. Closed. Oy. Disappointing. read more

I read that The Stellar Hog is well regarded and decided that BBQ Wednesday should hold its next field trip to their location. Mr D and I actually went on a Thursday, at noon and found the place to be nearly deserted. I certainly hope they are doing more business at night. It is a little obscure in a neighborhood bar-type place. It has a good amount of seating including outside. I was tempted by the smoked corned beef brisket but let Mr D sample that for us. I tried three meats; pulled pork, regular brisket and ribs. The Stellar Hog makes very good barbecue, with some comments. I have been recovering lost sense of smell from this year's flu so I will not comment on things that I could not taste fully. I can comment on juiciness, texture, salt seasoning and appearance. The brisket is not the best I have had in St Louis (Big Baby Q and Salt + Smoke get that honor) but it is better than pretty much all the rest I have tried. It was tender and not dried out, but maybe not quite as moist as the winners. Certainly not to be sneered at. Very few outside of Texas get this close. I wished for a little more aggressive rub. Bear in mind, I ate this un-sauced as always and it did not need it. I sampled Mr D's corned beef and found it too salty. I was glad I ordered the regular brisket. The pulled pork is a medium coarse pull and appears to be very lightly sauced since it has a reddish tinge. It was also better than most pulled pork I get. It was not dried out roast pork and Ms T liked the leftovers, saying that it had good smoke. Despite the first two meats being very good, I actually thought the back ribs were even better. They were cooked perfectly with a light glaze of sauce baked on. I don't mind saucing ribs this way if it get's some time to cook on. They came clean off the bone but were not mush. I am not in the fall-off-the-bone camp where the rib meat can be fed intravenously or through a caulking gun or easily gummed by toothless meth heads. But they should leave the bone clean and these were perfect. They had great color. I would have liked a bit more salt in the rub, but it was not a deal breaker. My only complaint is that these racks need to be cleaned up after they are sawed. I had unpleasant little bone pieces in about half of my bites especially when cleaning up the ends. I had a little pile of them when done and I only ate three ribs. They need to pay attention to removing these before rubbing and smoking. I have to do the same thing at home. To accompany, I ordered slaw, which was a creamy (not sweet) version that I really liked. I always complain about slaw that is sweet but flat, meaning no vinegar. This was a little tart and I highly approve. It is not freaky creative but does break away from the run-of-the-mill. I applaud that. In summary, The Stellar Hog is very good at a strong four stars. It is a bit of a hike for us and Big Baby Q is closer. On the other hand, I discovered that The Stellar Hog is AAdvantage dining so I was pleased to see the airline miles show up in my account. It also is a better place to dine-in than Big Baby Q. I need to return if and when my sense of smell fully returns. read more

Good ribs, brisket, turkey, Mac and cheese and Beans. Bartenders were friendly. Pretty busy inside.

Popped in here randomly today due to hunger. Jill was our bartender, and she was wonderful! Just attentive enough, and knowledgeable about the menu and sauces. She also packaged our to go part so nicely (Saran wrapped each sauce individually!) We shared a half order of the pulled pork cheesy fries $6 and we'll worth it! Get these! I'm not much of a fry or pit bean girl, but I can recognize good ones when I taste them. The pork was soooo good. They have two bbq sauces: one kinda spicy Carolina mustard and one sweet. I liked the sweet, bf liked the spicy Carolina mustard. Both were so good! This place is so much nicer, and cleaner than it was when it was smoking inside. Love the ceiling. We had a drink and put in an order to go of 1/2 slab of ribs with Mac n cheese $13 and the white wall special (smoked brisket with smoked Gouda and pickled red onions). Tried them as soon as we walked in the door. I'm not a bbq girl really, but it was SoOOOOOoooo good! I will write home about it! The Mac n cheese is the usual, but I love that the seasonal veggies were asparagus and sundried tomatoes topped with goat cheese. I would suggest they mention what is in the seasonal veggies on the menu, especially mentioning the goat cheese. I looove goat cheese, but I know many who do not. All in all the food, service, and atmosphere is amazing. Reasonable prices, too! We'll certainly be back soon! read more

The food here is incredible. I'm so glad they are once again operational in Holly Hills. It's not only the best food in the neighborhood but the best in South City. Known for their BBQ but don't miss out on the salads and other items. read more

I have to say, my first thought when we drove up to the stellar hog was that it looked a little lackluster but I'm happy to say I have never been more proven wrong. It was very clean, had absolutely outstanding food and service, and was all around an enjoyable experience. Everyone we dealt with was committed to making sure we enjoyed our experience. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, wings, fries, cole slaw, and chili and every single thing we ate was absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough! One of the employees even opened the door as we were leaving just to say thank you and tell us to have a great evening, that's not something you see everywhere. read more

I had the brisket "white Wall" sandwich and a side of turkey breast with the seasoned fries as a side. Sorry to say, the best part of my visit was a very nice, cute bartender. The brisket was moist as well as the turkey. They both had a smokey taste and smell, but not a good kind of hardwood smoke, more a my neighbors house is burning down aroma. The horseradish sauce was overpowered by the unpleasant smoke smell. The pickled onions were barely present and tasteless. The turkey had a weird fatty skin that was just plain disgusting. The owner ( i assume) kept popping in and out if the kitchen watching me. ( very creepy vibe) he put 2 types of BBQ sauces in front of me. One was a thick Kansas City style reminiscence of Sweet Baby Rays. The other was a light Carolina looking sauce tasting like a very bad attempt at a remoulade. The menu is very weird. He has "Smoked Salami"and "Smoked Corned Beef Brisket" on the menu. Doesnt sound appitiappitizing at all. Who smokes cured meats? After my food came, some guy came in, sat behind me and proceded to shout drink recipes to the bartenders for the weekend specials to get rid of unwated overstocked liquor. Definatly a buzz kill of any fragment of atmospher in the place. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. Sorry guys. You have to do better. read more

The Stellar Hog - Cheesy Pulled Pork Fries - Beer Gardens Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This place is right in the middle of a neighborhood of Holly Hills. I wasn't able to check out the outdoor seating but looked cool from what I could see. Definitely not a fancy place but it's nice. From the Yelp reviews i figured I'd have to try the cheese pulled pork fries. For two people, definitely get the half order...and that might still be too much. Fries covered with cheddar cheese sauce, pulled pork, beans, and a mustard bbq sauce. It could be a meal by itself...but why stop there. My wife got the half rib. Very tender and juicy. I thoroughly enjoyed it as did she. I got corned beef briskit sandwich. Thick sliced corned beef piled high. I couldn't even come close to finishing...which is a feat to be able to accomplish that. For a side I had the seasonal veggie...creamy cabbage. Since I love cabbage it was a no brainer. It had bits of corned beef in it too. Get it while you can. In a city of lots of bbq joints, this one is worth checking out. Oh Yeah...i forgot to mention...the prices are good too. read more

Love their brisket and corned beef. I go here once or twice a month. My partner likes their bbq pork

SSLT Sandwich..current favorite with Brussels. The menu has so many options and I've probably tried nearly all since I live nearby. This place is a gem. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Relaxed service but also very good. Like the great BBQ and sides.

Stopped by this place just to try it. I wasn't that hungry so I only ordered three sides: the Bourbon-glazed green beans with bacon, the brisket chili and the street corn. Both side veggies were the seasonal veggies. Mmmm... WOW! The taste is stellar. I wasn't even that hungry and I ate every bit of what I ordered. I am wildly impressed and honestly didn't expect much. They have beers on tap and a full bar. The place has a huge outdoor patio with an overhead shelter. The building is a former residential home so it sits in the middle of a residential area that's nice. The staff and locals are very friendly. And neighbors walk here to frequent this establishment. Good stuff! read more
