We were looking for a BBQ option in Florissant and Sugarfire popped up. We walked in at 1:55 p.m…read more and noticed they had a Happy Hour special from 2-5:00 p.m. ( buy 1 sandwich get 1 free) . I ordered a turkey sandwich with coleslaw and my husband had the combo sandwich with brisket and pork, with beans and coleslaw. By the time we ordered it was 3 minutes to 2, and we were not eligible for the special. Service was ok, not great! They have a variety of sauces, but were out of a few of the selections. The turkey was very good, but the bun did not seem fresh. With so many BBQ options available, I am not sure I would return.

But what really makes them stand out is who they are beyond the food. They consistently show up for their community and surrounding communities in both the good times and the hard times, and that says everything about the owners of the business, Bob and Holly Mannecke. Florissant is so lucky to have a place like this and although I have moved across the river, I make sure to stop in every time I am in the area -- because it's truly that good!

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!

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.

**disclaimer: I am visiting from California and reviewing different food spots in Missouri**…read moreWith that being said... Food: I know why this place got recognized on tv! It's really good! Fall off the bone meat, plenty of different sauces to try, fun drink options. What we ordered: Big Muddy - 10/10 had brisket and smoked sausage in it. Had to add more horseradish sauce to it but that's just my preference. Brisket Plate - 9/10 brisket was delicious but knocking off a point because the sides were...ok. Coleslaw had NO flavor just like mush and the Potato salad was nothing to write home about. Needed more flavor. Brownie pie slice: 10/10 moist and crumbly crust. I want an entire pie! Service: There was no one there when we arrived so we had no experience with any wait time. Just went right up to the front to order our meals and they chopped the meat up right in front of us, placed on a tray on top of the counter and we took it to the register to pay. Self service and self seating establishment. The lady at the register was very nice and happy. No complaints there! She was interested to know where we were visiting from and how we liked the food. Ambiance: this place looks cool! With hints of retro vibe inside! The ceiling says the name in a cool work of art. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Final review: Yes! I liked it and would return!

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.

Went on a long road trip this past holiday season and made a pitstop in St. Louis for a few days…read more Did some research on what restaurants I needed to check out, and I found a local chain called Salt + Smoke. We were on a tight schedule, so we got it takeout. We got a combo platter to share, and everything was really good. Pretty standard meats. One stand-out, though, were the smoked wings. I totally recommend those. Just enough smoke flavor, tender and fall of the bone, these were excellent wings. As for what really set this place apart, it was the sides. Extra special, above and beyond sides. Pit Beans with Smoked Bacon that were so perfect. Softer than whole beans, but more bite than refried beans. Just the perfect balance, and with nice, hearty chunks of that bacon. And then, the White Cheddar Cracker Mac. You could absolutely taste the white cheddar here. Very unique compared to everywhere else's mac. And they used shells, so inside most shells was a nice little pocket explosion of that cheddar. And if that wasn't enough, it was topped with crumbled butter crackers that added a pop of crunch and salt that really made this my favorite mac 'n' cheese of all time. I'm not kidding. Also, side note, not sure if this will work for you, but at the takeout station, I asked for one of each sauce, and they gave me two of each! Astounding customer service. I kept most of them and am still using them to this day. Overall, the unavoidable cycle of life for good BBQ joints is be good, open more locations, open too many locations, become bad. That's just the way it goes. But right now, Salt + Smoke is still in the be good phase. I was very happy and would definitely come back.
