Great Mac and cheese and green beans. Meat had a pleasant little kick to it. Sweet tea was perfect. Service wasn't the best. They weren't busy and they messed up both orders of nacho appetizers and forgot our corn bread. read more

The food was good but portions were small for the price. But the worst issue we had was they some guy up on a stage, murdering Elvis songs. The audio kept feeding back we finally just left. read more

Today was my first time and I was pleasantly pleased. Sat at the bar. Was not greeted right away but once she saw me she was very attentive. The bartender recommended a great local beer...the Honey raspberry. I ordered the smoked turkey club...WOW!!! So very good!!! read more

Fries were terrible. BBQ sandwich not tasty & came out cold. Soda very flat. Ok service.

Jesus!!!!! The food was amazing... best bbq I have ever had. Ribs fell off the bone , corn bread was moist and sweet. This was my first time here and I will definitely be back whenever I am in town. Thumbs way up.... read more

Hendricks BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

Absolutely delicious. I was eating my way through St. Louis barbecue and this was by far the best place that I found. I would give it six stars if I could. The staff were great. The restaurant sits on a charming brick road. I highly recommend this place to anyone searching out some shoe stopping barbecue. The portions were nice and the prices were completely reasonable. read more

Picture it. Lunch with co-workers... So a co-worker suggested this place for lunch and said, "they have great BBQ." That alone had me thinking this place would deliver on flavor...sadly, it did not. Now, I'm no BBQ snob...but I've had my share of BBQ in the St. Louis area. For starters, my pulled pork sandwich arrived a bit on the cold side (the actual BBQ itself was cold, not hot like BBQ should be) ...and adding cole slaw for $1 was NOT a "game changer" as the waitress touted. In fact, the cole slaw was rather bland and I scraped it away from the BBQ after realizing such. The variety of sauces were okay until I actually tried them. None of them had good flavor. The sides I chose were potato salad and baked beans. The potato salad was also bland and oddly, the potatoes were diced in small squares...and...they lacked that starchy flavor and texture of, you know, a potato. The baked beans are frankly (no pun intended), an embarrassment. Too sweet and totally taste like they are canned (and I've had some tasty canned baked beans). The co-worker who suggested this place ordered a Philly Brisket sandwich and I'll admit it looked good but alas my lunch was below mediocre and I doubt I'll revisit anytime soon. Service was alright. We did have to remind the waitress a few times for items and when the other co-workers asked for a to-go box, she returned with the smallest boxes ever...resulting in another request that she bring bigger boxes. I did not pack mine to-go (nor did I finish it). read more

The BBQ here is very good. A fun funky atmosphere with good service, mostly. I ordered what I thought was a selection of 3 different meats and 2 sides for $15. Turns out the server thought I wanted the 3 meat that cost $21. The menu is confusing and this was too much food and more than I wanted to pay. This brought a bad end to what otherwise would have been a very nice evening. FIX your menu so your staff and guests are not put in an auqward position. read more

I am not one to give reviews. Matter of fact this is my first review given but if I could give a zero I would. We were seated and 20 minutes passed and were never acknowledged. Three waiters walked by our table and looked at us and kept walking. There were only 4 other tables occupied. The food is most certainly not good enough to be ignored for 20 minutes. The food was average at best in our previous experiences. I certainly understand restaurants being short staffed these days. However, it didn't appear to be the case in this instance. I have been to plenty of restaurants where they were short staffed but acknowledged that they would be right with us and we gladly waited. read more

Terrible. The brisket was tough as a boot, the beans tasted like they came from a can, and the grits were cold and disappointing. Others in our party had similar experience. Beer list was poor, and many were not available. I ended up with a Budweiser. Waitress was pleasant but knew little about the menu. We were passing thru on our way to Busch stadium but will not be back on our next baseball trip. read more

Great barbeque. Catering is excellent as well. And great blues bands downstairs

When the meal came it was excellent. Getting there was a little tough. When we first arrived we were told we had a 20 minute wait. No big deal, we'll get a drink. After sitting at the bar for 10 minutes and no service we were called to our table. At the table, my wife tried to order 4 different beers off the menu and each was out of stock. She finally asked what do you have? And ordered one which then took 15 minutes to arrive. If the service was better and faster this would be a good place read more

Dirty table and menus. Waited up front for 5-10 min before anyone addressed us, should have left then. Slow service, no refills. No AC in the restaurant during our visit on a hot summer day. Food was eh. Unfortunately this was our first and last time going. read more

If you're in Historic Downtown Main Street, St. Charles, MO head south on the road or you might overlook this great BBQ restaurant. It's been there for about a year and it's the first time I've been since I just did not see it. Since I usually order pulled pork at any BBQ place, this was no exception. It had the smoke flavor I love so much and I would have it again. Two sides came with it so I chose sweet potato fries and cole slaw. read more

Hendricks BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

Good... The service here was great. The servers were friendly and kept our drinks filled. The Onion Ring appetizers err some of the best I've ever had. Bad... Portions were extremely small for what they charged. The turkey was dryer than the Griswolds in Christmas Vacation. Highly overpriced and i probably won't be back...unless someone else pays read more

Hendricks BBQ - small servings, high price, not worth it - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

Brisket was a little dry but the sides were great! The greens were delicious, corn casserole moist and flavorful. I love the fries and unique ranch. We also had the BBQ Nachos - PHENOMENAL. read more

Hendricks BBQ - Brisket, French Fries, Bacon Braised Greens, Corn Casserole (+mustard/ranch for fries - so good) - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

This place is 10 mins from where I work and from where I live but it's really in the cut. I spent a lot on food and I'm full with enough left overs to feed two. The ribs where falling off the bone and the chicken biscuit almost took me out. My cocktail I should have saved to the end cause it tasted like a dessert. I'm coming back with fam. read more

Let me start by saying I'm a regular Hendricks supporter, often suggesting to friends they dine here. But my experience last night (June 30) was disappointing. The service was very slow (1 hour and 45 minutes start to finish). The brisket had a wide fat cap that couldn't be chewed. The corn casserole was dry and tasteless and the sweet potato fries were tough. In addition, the restaurant was super hot. On the positive side, the biscuits were delicious, as usual l, and my friend who ordered a large salad enjoyed it. I hope management works on service, food consistency. read more

Very tasty rum drinks and awesome pork nachos!! Our service was quick and outdoors tables overlooking the Katy Trail were very nice!!

This is honestly the best BBQ I've ever had in STL, maybe even ever in my life. I got the Meat Plus 3, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and cheddar grits. The grits were AMAZING. I was worried i made the wrong choice by getting the grits and the Mac, but i didn't regret the grits at all. The Mac and cheese was very good, but I'd probably pass on it in favor of a veggie to accompany my grits next time. The brisket was also very good, no sauce needed. The coleslaw is an interesting consistency, but i liked it. Good flavor! I also had a glass of the smoked sangria as a starter, delicious and effective. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich, and was very happy! The service was decent, not too intrusive, but attentive. I can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back, and tell everyone who will listen how good it was!! read more

I had reservations for 10 on Father's Day 6/19/22 @2pm. We all arrived and were seated promptly. Our server Jessie was very attentive with drinks and our appetizer order. Our party was ready to order entrees when Jessie approached our table and informed us there would be no ribs for order. My concern is that this information should have been presented to us prior to us being seated. Who doesn't want ribs at a place that prides themselves on BBQ ??? Unacceptable to be told we could wait 4 hours for more ribs to be done. We paid for our appetizers and left. Not a good first impression/experience at Hendricks BBQ. read more

Food was bland. Potato salad, creamed spinach & cole slaw had no flavor. Ribs were tough and underdone. Veggie burgers were seasoned well but possibly not even cooked or barely heated up. At the least. Hush puppies & fries were good. Kids mac-n-cheese was OK. Wait staff was very friendly and did a great job. Expensive considering the poor quality. read more

This place used to be pretty good. I liked it, I want to still like it. But, I just can't. I understand that bbq restaurants can be hit and miss. It's understandable to have an off night when the restaurant has a slow night or two. Food can't be cooked to order because it takes time to prepare. Holding cases are used to keep meat "fresh" and when the restaurant has leftovers, they get repurposed in sides (leftover meat in beans, greens,, etc.). But, you can't use those leftovers as a main course and expect customers to be happy. I had a two meat combo tonight, brisket and sausage. Neither was fresh, neither was good. The brisket was tough and the sausage was just bad... really bad. I'd guess it was several days old. Both were slathered in a spicy and flavorful sauce, but it wasn't good enough to cover how bad the meat really was. Portion sizes have gotten smaller. The server was nice, doing her best, but the quality of the food was unforgivable. Again, nice people but unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Really delicious and fast! I wanted like 5 sides. I ended up getting beans and sweet potato casserole, fantastic! I also got the pork steak, it was very tender. The sauce is vinegar-y which I usually don't like but it was really good! We will be returning! read more

First time eating there and was very disappointed. The BBQ sauce had no texture what so ever. Looked like colored water. The meat was good would have been better with good BBQ sauce. The cole slaw was kinda bland and the beans tasted like they were out of a can. Was also overpriced for what you got. We did have good sevice. Don't think we will be going back. read more

Reservations needed or you could be waiting a long time. Friendly helpful waiters and a bustling kitchen equals yummy St. Louis BBQ and choice of 2 sauces. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and loved the flavor. read more

Hendricks BBQ - Pick two platter. Blackberry moonshine with tea. - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

Kind of Pricey but delicious. Everything had flavor and I would return. Nice atmosphere

Stopped by for lunch with a few friends before going to see a movie. Got a sangria, which was gross. The flavor was very artificial and not good. I ordered a brisket platter with three sides for $13. It was only 3 strips of the brisket, which was dry, with collard greens, baked beans, and sweet potato fries. The collard greens were disgusting, but maybe because that's my first time trying them. The baked beans were mediocre - I've had better beans out of a can. The sweet potato fries came 10 minutes after my food, which took longer than I had expected to come out. However, the fries were delicious. There are 3 sauce offerings: house, STL (spicy and good), and sweet. They are a little pricey for the quantities given and it took a long time to receive my food and check - I almost missed my movie. read more

The restaurant by itself was so cute but the brisket that I ordered was so dry. I had better than this. Sides was ok and Service was good

Worst ribs of my life. Waitress came by and asked us how things were. I mentioned it and we sent them back (her idea not mine) they said we had eaten enough or them that they wouldn't do anything- I had taken one bite. took half off the dessert. When we posted to opentable about the odd experience they gaslighted me like it was my fault. Don't waste your time. New mgmt and menu are a waste of your money. read more

Some of the best bbq around. Had the brisket and sausage great smoke flavor and the best part you can add your own sauce or not. Pulled pork was delicious as well and the sides we very good. We had a party of eight and as soon as we walked in the bar tender took care of us, nice selection of beers. Kayla our waitress had her hands full but she did an excellent job taking care of our needs, most excellent, my hats off to her. The best surprise was they offered a substantial military discount, thank for taking care of us veterans. read more

I don't dine out in St. Charles often, but I'd definitely eat here again. The decor and location are great. The menu is good, too. Some standouts include the bacon braised greens and deviled eggs, although I thought the meat and house made sauces were average. This will sound odd, but I liked that the portions weren't gigantic. I feel better about indulging on a small amount of very good food than gorging myself on something mediocre. Anyway, this was a great place to meet friends for lunch. read more
