Can you say YUM! Staying with friends and they ordered BBQ from BEAST I enjoyed the food very much…read more My first time ever trying pork steak (ever hearing it was a thing) it just might be my favorite bbq cut now $19.99. It was a thick cut very tender and full of flavor. We also enjoyed their brisket which had a nice char and was tender and full of smoke flavor. I would def dine there again.

Today's visit was based on internet suggestions. I'm stopping over for the night in STL and all the…read moreBBQ places rated above Beast were closed. Coming from the city with more Michelin star BBQ joints than any other, I was ready for some BBq and, Beast was the next best ranked on the STL List, so I jumped in my car to experience the hype. Upon entry I was underwhelmed by the setting. The ambiance immediately had me doubting the food, but the optimist in me was hoping it just meant all the money went into the food instead. The place was pretty empty, so my wait time for the food was longer than expected. My order was turkey and brisket, my two favorite meats at my favorite BBQ joints. My verdict on the brisket. It was dry and lacked flavor. The turkey was no different, I had to reach for the sauce. I thought I was being adventurous to drive out of my way, turns out it was a waste of gas money. Finally, the staff. They were amazing. Friendly, helpful, and patient. This staff paired with good BBQ would have been a killer experience. Onward, the search continues.

The grits, beans, potato salad and slaw were all really good and we are particular. I would definitely come back. Only problem was we got there right after they opened on a Saturday and they said they were out of ribs which was disappointing but the food we got made up for it.

On this occasion I ordered the half chicken platter (which was sold out on my first visit). The service was good on my first visit and even better the second time. The guy behind the counter's friendliness was almost contagious he went through describing the menu with patience and a smile. I enjoyed my food again the second time. I do not have any complaints it was a solid bbq plate I will say I am not the biggest fan of banana pudding, but I enjoyed it here.

The meat sampler with 5 different meats was really good and big enough to share. The sides were…read moredelicious but the coleslaw was on point. Cole slaw is one of the most important barometers for a barbecue spot. If the restaurant is phoning in their coleslaw, you can imagine everything else will be mediocre. The staff were quick and friendly. Ambiance Indoor and outdoor seating with sauce and service stations throughout the restaurant. Fun place.

I tried Sugarfire tonight and it was enjoyable!…read more Ordering was super easy and the young man behind the counter taking our order smiled, was very friendly. Everyone behind the counter smiled at my father and I, which was so welcoming! The man that took our payment was also friendly. I ordered the turkey plate with baked beans and French fries. My father ordered the brisket, baked beans and asked for unsalted fries. He raved about his brisket being tender and the fries actually tasting like potato. We absolutely dislike salt so we appreciated the unsalted fries. I don't normally order baked beans but didn't want any other sides listed on the menu -- beans did not disappoint! So flavorful and not overly sweet. Super yum! I agree the fries are very good. And the turkey, so tender. I think the only thing is that I am not used to eating room temperature meat. The first bite was warm and then the rest of the turkey was not, losing a little flavor. But honestly, the BBQ sauces are excellent & still worth it. :) I would definitely recommend the root beer! It's like that old school, make ya hiccup kinda flavor -- it's stronger than any root beer I've ever had. It's amazing! Even my dad loved it. I just don't think they make root beer like that anymore. I'm impressed! Overall, the place was clean and the staff were actually cleaning all around us as there weren't many patrons present. The music isn't blaring, which I really like. It's a must chiller ambiance than I thought it would be and I do love the whole counter ordering, set yourself concept. The art on the wall is cool too! Overall, I'd recommend Sugarfire. And I will definitely go back and try more menu items, even the turkey again. Friendly staff, tasty food & drinks, chill atmosphere & very clean. Well done, Sugarfire. Cheers to you & your wonderful staff! Thank you so much.

It was delicious. You can order the chicken with French fries, sweet potato fires, steamed rice. You can also order their chicken as a sandwich. There are a lot of different choices. I don't know for sure but it seems the chicken is maybe cooked in blended rice paper to make it so crunchy but whatever they do, it's so good!! I will be going back and trying different flavors!! It's a small place with a few tables. This is an Asian type place so it had an Asian TV show on one TV and Asian music videos on another.

My wife and I have driven past the place 100 times and she finally talked me into trying it out for lunch. WOW. Awesome food. We both had ribs, I went for a double order of spaghetti as my side, the wife went with green beans and yams. The portions were large and came with a cornbread muffin. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and the spaghetti was very good. I am normally not a green bean fan, but I tasted the ones my wife ordered and they were delicious! It looked like small pieces of potato and I don't know what else in them. I never eat yams but these were great. Too sweet for my taste as a side, but I had them for "dessert" after finishing my meal. Tasted more like sweet potato pie than anything and dipping the cornbread muffin in the sauce was sinfully good. EVERYTHING was home made from scratch. We were way too full to try any of the desserts (cakes, peach cobbler, sweet potato pie) but I will sample them next trip. The menu is not large but be sure to ask as there are several items available not listed. I was craving some fried chicken, which I was told was available, but I'd already ordered the ribs. I'm going for the chicken next visit....collard greens were an option (not listed) as well but I am not a fan. My ONLY con would be no butter for the muffin..but it was moist without it and after I figured out how good it tasted dipped in the yam sauce, I would not have used it had it been there !We were totally stuffed for less than $20. We are already planning to head back next week. Give this place a try...you won't regret it!!!
