This is easily a five-star review, and it's coming from someone who isn't a true BBQ lover. This…read moreplace was suggested by a local, and I am so glad that I went because it was the best BBQ that I have ever had. 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!

Join the line when you walk in, when you get to the front of the line, you tell the counter person your order, the guys behind the counter were upbeat and friendly. You move on down the line and pick your sides, proceeding to the register. Paying and getting drink cups. Go pick your table with your food if its ready or just yourself if your food isn't ready yet and they will come out and call your name. Raise your hand and they will bring it over, friendly as can be. At the location in Valley Park my standing order is brisket and tater tots , so good! But I didn't see tater tots on the menu so I switched it up and got smoked salmon with fries, and an order of hushpuppies. I got the salmon and fried up first and both were great. Salmon was smoky and flaky, the fries the hand cut style with skin on. Both tasted great with my favorite coffee BBQ sauce. The hushpuppies came out piping hot with a sweet sauce on the side. The hushpuppies were so good! I will be craving them, thinking about them now, mmm. Line moves quickly, friendly staff, good food, fantastic hushpuppies :)

Hubby and I arrived into St. Louis on a pleasant Saturday afternoon and decided we wanted us some…read morebarbecue! We heard about the DelMar Loop and also heard about this place so decided to drop on by! One of the best parts was free parking! OK, we saw they had a patio and that was perfect for us because our puppy needed a place too. They seated us quickly, brought us some menus, and took our drink order. We both had 0% beer because, you know, it was just 12 noon - a little early for the hard stuff! We both ordered some barbecue! I ordered the brisket and pulled pork, along with the potato salad and chili! OK before the food review I got it put in a great word for the waitress. She was very friendly, and gave us some good pointers on things to check out while in town - very cool. Oddly enough, we were the only one sitting on the patio, even though it was a very pleasant day, indeed. When the food came? I thought the brisket was a little odd because it wasn't chopped. It was cut into little cubes but paired with one of the sauces? Very nice! And pulled pork was great. The potato salad? Yup! The chili? Yup! The fried bread roll? Well, it was a little unexpected, but it was very nice as well. As we had heard that St. Louis barbecue was uniquely different from any other barbecue, we had to have it! I'm not gonna say it was spectacularly different, but it was good! We ordered a lemon gooey bar for dessert and shared it! Apparently it's a St. Louis thing? Yes! Would we come again? Oh yes, indeed! And you should try it too if you like good barbecue.!

Salt & Pepper is definitely an establishment worth visiting for dining and enjoying. My buddy and I sat on the bar where we were able to get a great view of the bar with all of the various selections of whiskey. Recommended dining selection? BBQ meat - we both ordered the three meat special and ensured we ordered different selections so we can try the various selections. Pass on the BBQ bologna - it's okay, nothing spectacular compared to the other meat selection. The brisket chili is well flavored and filling. The best part of the place? In addition to the great BBQ, it boasts of local brews and an awesome selection of whiskey - one not easily found is Weller and it was at a very affordable price point. Located across the street from a landmark, Bluedberry Hill, parking is available next door in the public parking. Not quite an easy drive of the other BBQ establishments closer to downtown, Salt & Pepper is nonetheless as good, and because of the well stocked bar, I would give it a slight edge to them.

The food is not the best BBQ in town, but what upset me is, I ordered and they guy that took my to…read morego order asked me for a tip, I have never been in a restaurant in St Louis where they verbally solicited me for placing a to go order. They usually have a tip jar out and if you contribute great and if not it's all good. I did contribute, but I did not like being solicited for a tip before ordering and receiving my food. The restaurant was clean, and the person that took my order was nice, I guess he was in need of money and as they say closed mouths don't get feed. But it would be nice to just let me decide on a yo go order rather I want to top or not. I will say they are a bit pricey also, 19 wings with 2 sides $42 with tax. They gave plenty of parking and kike most Batlr B Que places, they were out of several items towards the end of the evening, it was around 7:30 pm or so. This was my 2nd time here, and this time I didn't like or appreciate the process, I am pretty sure I will not return.

I opted for "the luch combo" with ribs tips and two sides (potato salad and green bean). Service: Was ok, nothing really spectacular. Received "matter of fact attitude" while placing order. We opted to dine in. A great touch- The cashier checked in and asked if we were ok after approximately 30 mins into dining. That was nice, didn't really expected it. Food: Green beans were room temp however flavorful, with pieces of turkey and a lil kick! Would have been much better served hot! Potato salad- good, made with sweet relish and on the sweeter side. I tend to prefer tangy instead, however it was a nice change to have. Ribtips- OK, some portions hard to chew, other tender. Definitely required some flossing lol lol. Ambiance- Music playing in the background, slightly on the louder side, which will make it a little difficult to converse. Cost- A little pricey if just buying meat. I was not informed that if I pay with debit card, prices are higher. I realized it after I had already rung up and received my receipt and I questioned it. More transparency would be nice. Recommendation: Try them out if you are in the area!

Very basic interior, decorated for Halloween right now, but you aren't coming here for the ambiance. You're coming for the food. And this place does it right. The young lady who took my order asked me some questions and helped steer me in the right direction. I got the loaded baked potato with pulled chicken. HUGE potato with a good amount of meat. Came with a side of bbq sauce and a tube of sour cream. Everyone was very friendly and clearly all get along. I ate inside and got to hear their conversations, which were all friendly and fun. Sounds like a good group! Seems like a lot of regulars coming in and getting their "usuals". Would suggest stopping in and trying if you are up that way!

It is hidden across and down the hall in the corner. It looks like an express stand. Don't be fooled it is amazing. They have tables off to the side you can dine at or take with you to the gate. I got the biscuit and gravy deal. It comes with 2 huge warm buttermilk biscuits. And a good size portion of gravy that is similar in taste and consistency to Bob Evans gravy. This was a meal in itself. Since I did not realize the bng was so large I ordered a breakfast biscuits with egg cheese and bacon. I got the same delicious biscuit but it was larger that the filling and kind of overpowered the egg flavor. But it was great None the less. I highly recommend this place
