Nice atmosphere, good service. I like my spiced bbq but the entire meal was just overpowering with their bbq rub spice. Everything from my collard greens, green beans and even my wife's macaroni and cheese was overpowered with their same spice which was so much salt. As far as their meat, I could taste the flavor of the ribs for the spices. My son said he couldn't taste his brisket for the amount of rub. I am sorry, not again..., read more

Had been here one previous time with my family for some sort of occasion like Mothers Day or something. So this was the second time coming here, as a group of friends and I had a concert at the amphitheater. Right from the hop the service was bad (I don't say "bad" lightly when I talk about service either). We waited maybe 7 minutes to get seated when there were plenty of empty tables and no other patrons waiting to be seated. The crew was standing around talking around the bar while we stood. Once we were seated the waitress, fairly promptly, brought out our drinks but then rarely checked on us throughout the early dinner. She was also not the most pleasant person in the world as you could tell she'd probably rather be anywhere else. I get it. We all feel like that at our jobs on occasion. But it was frustrating that our experience suffered because of that. The food was good. We ordered the pulled pick turnovers to share amongst the 4 of us. They were light and flaky with well seasoned pork in the middle with a thin jalapeño jelly as a dipping sauce. Good start. I ordered the turkey club which was made with smoked turkey and crisp bacon with a really good mayo. For my sides I got fries (typical, I know) and sweet potato casserole which was pretty creamy and sweet. Overall both sides were very good as well as my sandwich. After we finished eating we were in a hurry to get out because we needed to get seats for the show we were going to. Unfortunately our waitress was nowhere to be found for a good 15+ minutes while we were trying to get our checks. The bottom line is that I probably won't come back just due to the poor service because the food was actually really good. But the deal with eating at a restaurant (in my humble opinion) is that you are paying a premium to go out and enjoy a meal and that service is on par with food in terms of importance. Unfortunately Hendricks only met one of those two standards. read more

Hendricks BBQ - Turkey club with fries and sweet potato casserole. - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

I wish I could talk about the food, but never got a chance to order. We were seated at 7:22 pm on a Sunday evening. The table was a little dirty, the paper table covering had a few grease stains on it, but I was willing to let that go. The real difficulty began when apparently I and my wife became invisible after being seated. Went through the menu several times, figured out what we wanted and set the menus down. Plenty of people walked past acting like servers, bus staff and food runners, but nobody even greets us. I got up and went to wash my hands, came back and still no one comes by. When the clock hit 7:30 pm we decided to try to go to a restaurant. When we were leaving I stopped at the host stand and told the young man I was sorry we couldn't try the food and he might want to be more careful when seating people at dirty tables. He looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my head. If I did I would have eaten it! As we left, a server said have a good a night, I said it would have been nice if we had been allowed to eat, but no one ever came. When I worked in a restaurant the proper response would have been, I am so sorry, would you please wait while I get my manager. Sadly, I really wanted to try their BBQ and the fried chicken special. We are now a few doors away at Trailhead Brewing, walked in, was seated immediately and within one minute a server greeted us and asked if they could get our drink order. Salvation!! Thank you Trailhead!! read more

This was our 3rd visit to Hendricks over the last year. The first 2 were good so it deserved another. However, this visit was not up to par. Could it have been due to Covid fatigue? Could it just have been a bad day? Whatever it was, it says it all when the only food item we liked were the french fries. Both orders were piping hot and very good. The baby back ribs (the only kind they have anymore) were small and tasted like they were the last ones in the batch. Both orders of bacon green beens were not enjoyable. With all the great bbq places in St. Louis, I don't think we will be back. read more

Had the Sunday fried chicken special and it was disgusting. The breading on the skin seemed overcooked and the chicken meat left an aftertaste in my mouth. The green beans were simply nasty; the smelled like they would be good but that was not the case. The mashed potatoes were hard and pretty dry. The biscuits were heavy and crumbly. I did enjoy the butter, the gravy, and the water though. The dining room layout made it congested and awkward. The room temperature was too hot; which could be attributed to the old fashioned light bulbs in the chandeliers. The prices are a pretty high but that is business on historic Main Street. I would not recommend. read more

The restaurant is really nice, the food is okay, the waitstaff isn't good at all. Took so long to get one drink that we didn't even have time to order a second (ordered apps and food, and half way through our main course we got our drinks) It was okay. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's okay. read more

I am a huge bbq fan so wanted to try this place out, kinda wish I didn't! The best thing about my meal were the fries, from a bbq place that says a lot. I got the two meat with ribs and brisket. The ribs were cold, pink in the middle, and tasted like they had been under a heat lamp for many hours. The brisket was good but still like warm. The meat did not pull off the bone and for good bbq that is what you want. We picked this spot because we had family in town but will not be going back! I left two ribs on my plate when we left and didn't even want to bring it home....... plenty of better options out there! read more

Cool atmosphere, and generally a busy place. Lots of craft whisky offerings. BBQ is not bad either. Right down the street from the busy old town Main Street St. Charles. read more

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

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

Hendricks BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

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

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

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

Hendricks BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Hendricks BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - St Charles, Missouri

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

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

Every time we go to Festival of the Little Hills, we try to find a new restaurant to try. We were excited to learn about Hendricks and because of how busy I knew Main Street would be, I was even more excited to see that I could make a reservation. Parking is limited, even with the festival, but luckily we were able to get in at our reservation time. We used the Yelp coupon and got the BBQ nachos to share amongst our group - delish! I got the pulled pork with green beans and french fries and wasn't disappointed. The portions are big, and everything came out ready to eat and looked great. I loved the atmosphere. Who doesn't love drinking out of a mason jar? I can't wait to go back and try other menu options while enjoying a day, or night, on Main Street. 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

You know it wasn't a good experience when the first thing you and your wife simultaneously say is, "Well that was disappointing!" Which it was. We were super excited to try this place because we've been to Sanctuaria, and the food and drink there was awesome. So we figured the same would apply here, but with the BBQ. Not so, not so. The place was decorated really neat, and has a cool outside seating area which would be great to visit on a cool summer evening. That's about where our liking of this place ended. We started with the BBQ nacho appetizer, free if you check in on yelp, which we did. I'm glad we didn't pay for it. It was like they tried to make a nacho, pulled pork salad. There were big chunks of lettuce that made no sense in it. Not to mention we asked for the baked beans on the side, instead of in the nachos. Of course the beans still came in the nachos. The pulled pork that topped the nachos had no smoky flavor, for all I knew it was roasted in a rotisserie or in an oven. No semblance of and BBQ or smoke flavor in it. Also did not love the sparse bit of cheese they put on it was already hard and congealed by the time it made it to our table. Which was a long time. In fact everything that we ordered took forever. We must have waited 15 minutes for our beers to arrive, and equally long for our entree's after our appetizer. My wife ordered a burger with cheese and sides of fried potatoes and potato salad. Hey, she likes potatoes. I ordered the turkey dinner entree. Usually entree would indicate your meal comes with a side or two. Usually the term "meal" means you get a main dish and at least one side dish. Well sadly your turkey entree comes with no sides at all, you have to order them ala carte. When my food arrived my wife actually said, "They should be ashamed to serve you an entree with no side!" And it was a just a sad little plate with a small portion of turkey on it. I ordered the large size, but was I got felt like it was the small. I can't imagine if I had ordered the small size, the plate would have looked HOOGE. So upon seeing my sad little plate of tiny turkey breast, I asked for a side of sweet potato casserole. If took another 15 minutes for that to arrive. My turkey was just like the pulled pork. No smokey flavor, no BBQ tasty goodness. If this turkey was smoked or BBQ'd you could have fooled me! Was it juicy? Yes. Did it taste like over roasted turkey? Also yes. Even if I saw them smoke or BBQ this turkey with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Lets talk about sides. My sweet potato casserole was fine, just fine. No strong flavors, it was very mild and borderline bland. My wife's fried potatoes were no different than what I could make at home, in fact I could definately make those at home, but better. They had very little seasoning. My wife described the potatoes in the potato salad as "Barely cooked" and "a hair away from crunchy." My wife said her burger was fine, but not worth ever going back for, let alone you don't go to a BBQ place for a burger. Shall I discuss the sauces? I shall. The 'sweet' sauce was sweet but it was very runny. In fact all the sauces with the exception of the 'spicy', were very runny. And they all seemed loaded with paprika. That's how it tasted to me. The spicy really wasn't very spicy and I got more paprika taste than anything. The 'house' tasted more sweet than the sweet. The 'STL' was fine. All in all they were nothing special, IMO. It was a completely underwhelming experience, and I do realize that St. Charles doesn't have many options as far as BBQ goes, but for serious...no side dish with my entree? This isn't a Ruths Chris steak house. My wive's prediction- They won't be open long. My predication- they've got a lot of work to do to be as good as Sanctuaria. Or even Pappy's or Bogarts. read more

As I live only two blocks from Hendrick's & love BBQ, I've been waiting anxiously for the opening ever since they put the sign up many months ago. The atmosphere & decor are great. Kind of a cross between a blues bar & country restaurant (checkered napkins & mason jars for beverages.) Having seen the inside of the building in its previous incarnations, they really put a lot into it and you can tell. We sat on the deck overlooking the Katy Trail & except for the smoker right beside us (even outside it was a brutal experience to breathe in cigarette smoke) it was a great place to eat. I was surprised by the variety of the menu in that there were many things that were not BBQ related. The selection of sides was impressive. My wife & I ordered a sampler platter, which had three meats (turkey, brisket, & pulled pork) & two sides (fried potatoes & corn casserole). By all accounts the sides were excellent. The meats were fantastic as well. They are cooked with a dry rub & you put your own sauce on. Speaking of sauces, my preference was the "mild" as the others were very spicy. My only complaint was that I thought the portions were small for the price. I imagine that the owners are trying to create a little more upscale environment rather than a typical BBQ chain, and that was reflected in the prices. Everything is a la carte, which typically pushes the bill higher. With no complementary appetizers to snack on while you wait, I left feeling that it was a little overpriced. Overall, I'm thrilled that Hendrick's is in St. Charles. It will be a great addition to the Main Street restaurant environment. read more

The family units and I decided to try Hendrick's because... well, you know... BBQ :) We were greeted and seated quickly as they were not busy at the time we arrived. TIP: Check in via Yelp and receive a free appetizer! We did so and ordered the fried green tomatoes and the cornbread. The tomatoes were just a hair too thick which made them a bit tougher than I'm used to. Plus they had pretty thick breading on them. Taste was just ok. I've certainly had better elsewhere. The accompanying sauce had a decent flavor. The cornbread is on the sweeter side, and had a good flavor - albeit dry. More of an opportunity to slather on some of the honey butter that accompanied the order along with some honey Chipotle sauce.... let me warn you now, the Honey Chipotle is quite spicy. On to the meat! I ordered the 'Pick Three Sampler' at a price of $24. I chose baby backs, pulled pork, and brisket. Let's break it down: Baby Backs - Good flavor, moist, good dry rub and smoke, but the portion was quite skimpy. 3 ribs which were no more than 2 1/2 inches in length. Pulled pork was moist, larger chunks/not shredded, but again... maybe a small handful portion at best. Brisket was sliced thinner than it should've been as it lost its moisture. It had a very slight smoke ring which did not translate into much flavor. Portions included 3 small slices about 5-6 inches in length. Sides ordered were sweet potato fries and cole slaw. Fries were great, but the cole slaw was very bitter and inedible - perhaps some ingredients were missed? Another order at the table was the pulled pork sandwich. This came with a better portion size, but it was dwarfed by the huge bun and massive pile of cole slaw on top. 4 sauces are on the table: Sweet, House, STL, and Hot. Sweet - very sweet with a heavy molasses base - good flavor. House - vinegar base with a punch. STL - another vinegar base with a strong cayenne flavor. Hot - I didn't even attempt this one - haha. Overall, I'd say it was overpriced for the quality and quantity received. I would pay their asking price if it was amazing BBQ, but I was not all that impressed. Would I go back? Perhaps. Would I go out of my way for it? No. read more

I wanted to give Hendrick's a few chances before writing a review. My first two trips were during the "soft opening" phase and my most recent was on a busy Saturday evening. Being a new restaurant, I know there are going to be challenges. However in the case of Hendrick's, things have seemed to go down hill since my first trip rather than improving. (Now the latest blow since my last trip is that their chef Chris Lee has announced he is leaving just months after the place opened? That just doesn't look good for business). Hendrick's BBQ is situated in the old water works building on Main St. in St. Charles. The ownership group has done a phenomenal jobs of renovating the space and transforming it into a Bluesly BBQ Joint (with a soon to be opened moonshine bar in the basement). The main dinning room is on the first floor (which if coming in from the back is actually upstairs). The dinning room is VERY large and features a good mixture of banquettes and traditional seating. Additionally there is a raised seating area in the center of the dinning room which does a great job of breaking the space up a bit. Also there is a small bar and a "chefs table" however in my three trips the chef's table does not seem to be used. I am giving the dinning room and decor a 5+ star rating. The small bar would typically be a knock against them, however I understand that they are still waiting on the larger basement bar to be completed. (With the drink menu that Hendrick's offers, it should be easier to enjoy a cocktail in the bar area before deciding to grab a table) When I am new to a BBQ joint, I try to order a tasting menu of sorts (or in BBQ speak, a platter/sampler). The BBQ platter at Hendrick's gives you the full offering of their smoked meats and your choice of 4 side dishes. In each of my 3 trips here I have ordered this sampler, and from visit to visit the consistency in quality was less than stellar. Here are the meats that are included on the sampler/ whole shebang and what my experiences have been with them: Pork Ribs (STL and Baby Back) - These appear to come from a fairly nice pig as the quality of the meat is better than most BBQ shacks. The flavor is pretty much overpowered with smoke and the rub is on the bland side. These ribs are both served dry which tends to be the trend in town right now. The Baby Back and STL both have very similar flavor and texture (little bit more bite than I would prefer). With 2 rib options it would be nice if there was more difference between them. All in all these are middle of the road. First time I was in, both ribs showed promise. However over time they seem to be dryer with each visit. Beef Brisket - Like the pork, you can tell this is a high quality piece of meat. The natural beef flavor of this product is very nice. Additionally from a flavor stand point, I can appreciate the fact that they leave a touch of the fat cap on their briskets (too many places cut this off saying that customers dont like fat, fat is flavor people!). From a tenderness stand point, my first two trips in the brisket was close to being nailed (my last visit it was dry, not jerky dry, but just dryer than before). I would say that the brisket is one of their strongest offerings. "Pulled" Pork - The pulled pork is middle of the road (as many places are). For whatever reason it is served in more of a chunked or tubed fashion rather than the tradition pull. The texture and flavor are somewhat bland. On the pork there is nothing that leaves you wanting more but at the same time your not going to send it back to the kitchen. There was no noticeable difference from visit to visit in terms of the pork. Sliced Turkey - The smoked turkey is thick sliced turkey breast meat. The smokiness is great and compliments the dry rub nicely. My first two trips in, I was floored by how moist this turkey was (3rd time they missed the mark considerably). If I could trust the quality of the turkey, I would have no issues sending someone here specifically to try it. Smoked Sausage - This appears to be a beef link that lacks the bite of a traditional hot link. While there are noticeably a few mustard seeds for heat, this sausage leaves me wanting more from a flavor stand point. While the texture has been good on the sausage each visit, the flavor is uninspiring. I can't really knock this dish, but it doesn't blow me away either. The side dishes are all above average but there are none of them that stand out as having to order. The appetizers that I have tried sound better on paper than what is actually served. I have asked the waiter why Hendrick's appetizers lack the wow factor that I am used to with Chris Lee's dishes and I was informed that Chef Lee does not necessarily have a hand in all of those recipes (now it is a moot point anyways as he is leaving for a new project). To sum it all up, Hendrick's has shown promise early on but still has a long way to go... read more
