Pork steak!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! You can tell these guys REALLY LOVE MEAT! They honor the meat. This has to be on your "must try" list. Even their cheeseburger was great!! Jermaine, (shoutout!) was awesome, personality for miles!

Nice pit

Great flavored smoked meat, but other than the excellent white chicken chili... the other sides leave me wanting more of the meat & chili was my impression of this BBQ pit tent with no seating next to a Pink Elephant & gas station. Two brothers were there running the business. The quality shows the guys really care about the smoked meat. Even the name emphasises the idea about knowing about real smoking because you are suppose to be able to pick bones & not have meat "fall of the bone". http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/are_they_ready.html I ate this two days in a row. The first day was the pulled pork & the amount & flavor was great. The cole slaw & beans both tasted store bought. The second day I ordered the St Louis tradition Pork Steak. BUT, this was not the traditional Pork Steak. This was a thick cut & smoked variety that had a personality unlike off a normal backyard BBQ grill. While I missed the seared grill flavor, the tenderness & smoke flavor of their version had me in awe of the skillz. I was able to pull the pork apart with a plastic fork yet was not overcooked. Again, I was highly impressed by the amount of meat for the price. I, myself, went to order for the second lunch. I am glad because I saw "white chicken chili". When I said something about it... The guy in an apologetic tone stated he knows that chili does not belong in a smoke house. However, he agreed to offer it because his wife won an award for it. SERIOUSLY, F tradition & get the chili. I, also, had the mustard based potato salad that visit & it was nothing great. The two brothers know smoking meat & saying yes when a wife is right. Now they need help with the other sides.

Pulled pork sandwich on the left (with enough pork for three sandwiches) and 1/2 chicken on the right.

Visited again for a simple, quick dinner before an evening concert in downtown Wildwood. Service…read morewas friendly and efficient, similar to previous stops. Cocktails for the night featured a classic old fashion, not the one on the menu. Really well executed with Knob Creek rye. Also had a special Paloma which was tasty and perfect for a summer evening. Dinner included: - Cuban with fries. The missed orders this and she called it one of the best in town. 4.25 - small barbecue salad with pulled pork. This dish, priced at something like $8, is a nice "lightish" meal. Ordered fries because I can't help myself. Salad and fries: 4.25 each.

I ordered a half of slab of ribs and I chose green beans as my side and the meal comes with…read morecornbread. I can tell by the size of the ribs these were not baby back ribs but traditional pork spareribs. The ribs were tender which is crucial for ribs. I like it when ribs are cooked the last 30 minutes with bbq sauce which gives the ribs more flavor. These were not cooked this way and is why they give you eight sauces to use. I tried their Sweet, Carolina, Memphis and Jalapeño Carolina. I think the Jalapeños Carolina was the best of what I tried. The green beans tasted like they were cooked on the grill then seasoned. They tasted good. The corn bread was the right consistency and tasted good. I received excellent service. This is a cute little bbq joint in Ellisville. There's a large parking lot in front of the restaurant.
