This location in midtown is the original (I believe) and has a lot of charm and a great staff. There was no real line as I showed up in the first 30 minutes of their opening and on a Monday so I'm sure that made a big difference. I was helped by a super nice man up front who assisted me with my order and gave me the lowdown on the ordering and seating process. Pappy's has a large staff that were constantly clearing tables and delivering food. The manager (?) even stopped by the dining area and checked in with how our meals were. He also told me about the fried corn on the cob cooking process. Very interesting. I had a half slab of the ribs and chose the fried corn on the cob and baked beans as my sides. I filled by drink and found a seat and my meal was served shortly afterwards. The tables have 4 sauces to choose from if needed. Honestly, I loved the flavor of the ribs just the way they were served to me although I did try the sauces as I love to try these things when in a new place. The ribs had a glaze of sauce already on them and man were they good! The ribs were perfectly prepared with the iconic smoke ring around the edges. They were meaty and fatty just like they should be. These rate in the top 5 ribs I've ever had. I enjoyed the fried corn on the cob as it was super unique and finished with a sugar and salt coating but not too much. The BBQ beans were also good with pieces of pork mixed in. I highly recommend trying Pappy's when in the St Louis area. They really do a wonderful all around job.

So good, a must try!…read more Line is already long at 11am but they move through it. Plenty of spaces to park. They have you order and then get a table so there is enough seats. Brisket - my husband's favorite. Sliced thin. I also enjoyed it because it wasn't overly fatty. Pork - also delicious! The original bbq sauce was our favorite. Baked beans - hardy and delicious Fried corn - way better than regular corn on the cob Potato salad - more mustard/mayo based. Large potato chunks. It was delicious with a subtle flavor.

Now I am not a big fan of BBQ, however Bogarts may have changed my opinion. This was absolutely A M A zing! I had the pulled pork sandwich and Mac and Cheese. I added the sweet BBQ sauce to mine....so moist and good. The Hubby had the ribs and pastrami. Now my husband is a grill master and said the ribs were better than his...that is a bold statement coming from him, however I had to agree. If driving through Saint Louie, this place is a must!

The hype is real. I…read morehaven't written a review in ages. Bogart's has compelled me to write a review. First I want to say I was not sold on STL BBQ. I went to the recommended "good" places and walked away disappointed. I happen to be in Soulard one day and noticed Bogart's closed because they sold out. That's a big green flag to me. Not open Sunday and Monday, green flag. Primarily open for lunch, green flag. I just knew I had to check it out. Finally got the opportunity to check it out and boy was it delicious. I got a two meat plate with two sides. I got the tri tip, ribs, baked beans, and deviled potato salad. The deviled egg potato salad taste like it sounds. It taste like potato salad and and deviled egg had a baby. Never seen such a creation but I knew I needed to have it. The baked beans were out of this world!! Top three baked beans I've ever had!! A little smokey, a little sweet, and just the right consistency as far as thickness for me A1 . The ribs by far the best ribs I've had in STL. Very flavorful and tender. The tri tip it was ok. I've never had it shaved before and couldn't really get a good grasp on the flavor. It wasn't bad, just not the way I've had tri tip previously. All of their BBQ sauces were fantastic as well!! My favorite sauce was the pineapple express. Bogart's has restored my faith in STL BBQ. I was a non-believer for some time . HIGHLY recommend

Salt and Smoke is soooo good!…read more I got a side dish and an appetizer and they both delivered! My favorite thing at a BBQ restaurant is trying their BBQ sauces with french fries. So I ordered a side of french fries which were beef fat fries giving it a unique flavor. The titles for the BBQ sauces had me googling them to ensure they weren't too spicey, even with the titles the spice levels weren't too high. I tried them all and settled on Hotangy. I also got the toasted Ravioli which is a must have! It's so unique with the flavors and best fresh! Service: Excellent! My waitress was very attentive and kept my water filled. Reservations Needed: It seems like walk in only. Happy Hour: Available on weekdays from 3pm to 6pm (I came outside this window). Outdoor Seating: There's a patio outside with some seating Parking: Downtown garage and street parking

The snoot and rib tip combo is so worth it. All combos are $10.70. It's a lot of food for the price and it is well worth it. Next time I will get the brisket. The trick is to order inside because you do get your food faster. The drive thru line is super long bc all food is to order! There's not much seating inside but people mainly order and take their food to go. If you need a snoot, this is the place to go to! No frills, just great food.

They had a unique crunch. I had half BBQ and half buffalo. So good. The sides were eh, but that is a seasoning choice for me.

Loved their Mac n' Cheese (kinda tasted like Bread Co's but elevated), and the bite I had of my bf's Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes was delicious. Service was quicker than we expected after seeing how busy they were- even if it took awhile to get our check.

JUST GO!…read more Incredible food, super friendly servers that smile & fast service! My dad treated my sister and I to lunch at one of his favorite places, Sawmill. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with an enthusiastic hello. The place is very clean! The menu is pretty large and written clearly on the wall. Priced just right, in my humble opinion, for the great experience. We got our own drinks and were brought sauces right away. I think we received our order within 5 mins, if that. I ordered the turkey platter with French fries and applesauce. The turkey was so tender, absolute perfection! The fries were crispy and barely salted - but win! I'm a sucker for a great applesauce and Sawmill wins -- chunky and unsweetened. Amazing food, all around. My dad loved his BBQ pork, fried okra & baked beans. My sister complimented the delicious beef brisket several times as the best she's had. She loved the baked beans and green beans. Such a wonderful dining experience and really a cool place. I'm also impressed with the cleanliness - if you look up at the decor above you on the beams, not only is it super cool and vintage, but clean; not a cobweb in sight. We loved this place & I'm sure you will as well! Excellent food, service and light music for a relaxing ambiance. Bravo, Sawmill! Keep up the great work, you're truly a gem!

Brisket was tender but i felt a little dry. The ribs are holy ribs. Tender and very beefy! Oops I should say porky. Lots of meat on them! They have 4 different sauces to choose from. The ambience is very country and fitting the location. Not fancy but an experience. I gave a 4 for the ribs, potato salad, sauces and experience. I almost went a 3 because of canned green beans. Go enjoy and get stuffed. There is a camper site right behind the place. Maybe bring a camper, eat a ton and pass out in a food coma!

The smoked wings were good but not great. They offer a spicy BBQ sauce and a sweet BBQ sauce. Both were delicious, but the sweet was my favorite. I got an apple Margarita. It was good.

I have several BBQ places to revisit and The Stellar Hog is my first. Glad to say, things really haven't changed that much. The pit beans here are some of the best in the metro area. The spiciness gives them an extra kick and that is what I like. I ordered an extra side of them to enjoy the next day cold and they did not disappoint. The Mac-n-Cheese as an additional side was extra creamy and cheesy. I like that they use the traditional elbow noodles to make theirs. I did not use the BBQ sauce they provided for my ribs, I'd dip a forkful of mac-n-cheese into it for an extra burst of flavor. Of course, the ribs did not disappoint me. Their Baby Back Ribs and they are way better than that restaurant that sings about how good theirs are. I like the fact that they are a dry rub and not soaked in BBQ sauce. I like the ability to be able to add my own sauce in the amount that I like. Many times, I just enjoy the seasoning of the dry rub. I'll be going back soon, so I can enjoy an order of Cheesy Pulled Pork Fries. They are best enjoyed fresh. I don't think they'd be a good carry-out option. Staff is friendly and they keep a good attitude considering the high volume of traffic they experience. The Stellar Hog is stellar and I'd rank it in my top five STL BBQ joints.
