St. Louis BBQ strikes again. This place was not good, from a food standpoint at least,…read more I walked in just before noon and there was no line. Red flag? You order at the counter, which was easy, and then pay at the end of the line. The cashier was super helpful and offered recommendations on sauces and offered pickles or jalapeños for my To Go order. I ordered the Big Muddy sandwich which came with brisket, sausage, lettuce and pickles. It was also supposed to have horseradish and bbq sauce, but it did not. Maybe because it was To Go? The brisket was sliced right in front of me, but it was bad. It looked tender, but it was supper fatty and could handle be chewed. I spit most of it out. The problem was probably a bad cut of meat and not the smoking, but they still served it to me. The sausage was great, but only had a couple of little slices. I added some of the sweet sauce which was very good. I chose the beans for my side. Fine, but nothing special. A little dry, so I added sauce to help it go down. Then they had some local soda option, so I passed on an overpriced drink. It looks like there are more local options in the area, I would try somewhere else if ever back in this area.

I must say that the prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. I tried the pulled pork and pulled chicken, both tender and flavorful. The sides deserve their own spotlight--potato salad is my personal favorite, the baked beans and coleslaw hit all the right notes. My brother ordered the burnt ends. Those were another highlight--smoky, rich, and perfectly cooked. They were sold out of brisket when we visited (which says a lot about how good it must be), but that just gives us a reason to come back soon. If you're looking for great BBQ with big flavor and a welcoming vibe, Heavy Smoke is the place. 5/5!

Went with some friends at prime dinnertime on a friday. Lots of laughs, smiles, memories…read more I was surprised it was empty, seemed strange. The food? Fine. I mean it's bbq. I enjoyed their turkey melt. It was simple. Not over complicated. Not overly flavorful either. It wasn't bad, but it didn't send my taste buds into a chasm of mesquite as i had hoped. The service was good. But, not in a well manicured way. More of a this is very informal dining and holler if ya need me way. Very polite, unpolished, and taken care of. But, it didn't feel like hospitality in the formal sense you imagine when thinking of a sit down dinner. I hope that doesn't come off as a knock or jest. I intend it to be perceived much more as ambivalent. Anyways, no rush to get back, but if my friends wanna go, ill oblige

I split a full rack with mom for my most recent birthday meal and I was not disappointed! Naturally, we each had plenty of leftovers. The ribs came out with that perfect dark, smoky bark that's packed with flavor. The meat underneath was oh so tender. For one side, I went with applesauce - a classic. Appropriately chilled, it was a nice, fresh component to a largely roll-me-out-the-door meal. It was topped with a very confident amount of cinnamon. Heavy-handed for my taste, but if cinnamon is your jam, you'll be thrilled. The baked beans, however, came in hot. And I don't mean temperature; I mean with a spicy surprise. The sweetness of the applesauce cut down the bite of the heat, but I longed for milk to put out the little fire on my tongue. I have a low threshold for spicy food, so you may be quite alright with it, but it was a surprise to me. Pappy's is, hands down, my go-to BBQ spot. First enamored by the location nearest downtown, and thoroughly thrilled when they arrived in my city.

The potato salad was dry and pasty. The baked beans were much too spicy. Their service was very fast but it was a workarant. You had to order sit and they delivered it to you.

I only had a few bites in the restaurant, and those pieces were closer to medium. My server did offer to have it cooked longer, which I appreciated, but I declined since I knew I'd finish cooking it at home. That said, it was still disappointing because it was nowhere near the medium temperature I requested. With cuts this thick, it may be challenging to consistently hit the desired doneness, so that's something to keep in mind. On a positive note, the flavor and seasoning were great. The service was also excellent, and I really enjoyed the baked beans and catfish fritters. Just a heads up, they charge for hot sauce, so you may want to bring your own if that's your thing!

Really you can't go wrong with any of the items here.

The seasoning here is wonderful and all of the meat was perfectly cooked. I was pleasantly surprised to get the chicken still on the bone, I was anticipating pulled chicken because that's usually what other places seem to have, but this kept it way more moist! I even liked their spicy barbecue sauce, and I usually skip barbecue sauce because it's usually too thick. For my sides, I got the mac & cheese and the potato salad. Potato salad is total fire, highly highly recommend! I love that they used sliced potatoes instead of big chunks of them. Mac & cheese was good considering how much cheese sauce was on it. I realize I'm strange and prefer a more dry mac & cheese, unlike the normal population, but this cheese sauce was flavorful enough where I didn't mind it too much. Again, a normal person would love this. It was kind of a weird vibe when I entered to pick up my food because they were filming something, but the staff who weren't doing that were all super friendly! They seemed kind and welcoming, that was my only impression of the actual location.

I wasn't sure what to order, but the friendly staff recommended that I have the brisket, and I'm so glad I heeded their advice. The brisket sandwich was the most tender meat that I have ever had. I had never had brisket before having that sandwich, now my mouth waters any time I talk about this restaurant! The cole slaw that I had as a side provided the perfect crunch and balance. My mate had the pulled pork sandwich, which was also very tender. I also loved having a variety of barbecue sauces on the table and was able to try each one. Everyone has a preference, I'm sure, but after trying each one, I am completely sold on the Carolina gold. Also, I do not typically have a fountain soda, but the cola that was on tap was some of the best that I'd ever tasted. 10 out of 10 for Sugarfire, and I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in St. Louis!

The giant pig statue in front of the restaurant was actually quite informative, as it described where the meat comes from on a pig. Anyway, as I entered the restaurant, I stood in line. It was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon. There are long tables with many seats, so seating wasn't an issue. It is a first come first served dining situation. I ordered the 2-meat plate: brisket, ribs, baked beans, and potato salad. The brisket and the sides were definitely my favorite parts. The brisket was so tender, it basically fell apart in my hands! It was delicious! The baked beans were tangy and sweet, and the potato salad was creamy. I didn't like the ribs, they were very dry and definitely not worth the money. The barbecue sauces are in bottles on the table; my personal favorite was the Honey Badger, sweet with a little bit of heat. I found the Coffee BBQ sauce to be the most interesting; I have never had anything like it before. The coffee notes were subtle and helped balance out the smoky flavors. While I enjoyed the majority of my food, I am not sure if I will be returning. It was a nice experience, but the dry ribs left me feeling disappointed.
