It was so disappointing, that I didn't even eat it all. I threw half of it away and I rarely waste food. My Two Plate was a Pork Steak and Brisket, with Smokehouse Beans and Spicy Cheese Corn. The Pork Steak was good, but the Brisket was dried and tough. The Smokehouse Beans have disappointed me before, but I wanted to give them another chance. Again, they were to runny and had not enough seasoning to give them pizzaz. Their Spicy Cheese Corn was just okay, it was cheesy, but did no live up to the "Spicy" name. What was most disappointing was the customer service. The young lady taking my order was friendly and professional, so she gets a thumbs up. The disappointment came when I was presented my order at the counter. As I waited for my for to be prepared I took a stool at the counter, just down from the register. When it was ready, the owner brought it out and dropped the bag in front of me and turned to walk away. No thank-you, no nothing. I had to speak first, to get response and it was just faint grunt. It is a sad day when a business owner cannot thank a customer for supporting his business.

I wasn't sure what to order, but the friendly staff recommended that I have the brisket, and I'm so glad I heeded their advice. The brisket sandwich was the most tender meat that I have ever had. I had never had brisket before having that sandwich, now my mouth waters any time I talk about this restaurant! The cole slaw that I had as a side provided the perfect crunch and balance. My mate had the pulled pork sandwich, which was also very tender. I also loved having a variety of barbecue sauces on the table and was able to try each one. Everyone has a preference, I'm sure, but after trying each one, I am completely sold on the Carolina gold. Also, I do not typically have a fountain soda, but the cola that was on tap was some of the best that I'd ever tasted. 10 out of 10 for Sugarfire, and I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in St. Louis!

Join the line when you walk in, when you get to the front of the line, you tell the counter person your order, the guys behind the counter were upbeat and friendly.

But I didn't see tater tots on the menu so I switched it up and got smoked salmon with fries, and an order of hushpuppies. I got the salmon and fried up first and both were great. Salmon was smoky and flaky, the fries the hand cut style with skin on. Both tasted great with my favorite coffee BBQ sauce. The hushpuppies came out piping hot with a sweet sauce on the side. The hushpuppies were so good! I will be craving them, thinking about them now, mmm. Line moves quickly, friendly staff, good food, fantastic hushpuppies :)

My wife and I were visiting my niece, and on our way out of town we came across a little BBQ spot…read morecalled Sugar and Smoke. It's a neat-looking place--nicely decorated, inviting, and full of that good smoky aroma that hits you as soon as you step inside. We were welcomed immediately, told to sit wherever we liked, and our waitress followed us over to take our drink orders right away. My wife ordered the meatloaf special, and while I teased her for choosing meatloaf at a BBQ joint, I ended up going with the Smoked Reuben. They brought her an entire meatloaf, along with green beans and mashed potatoes. I'm not exaggerating--this loaf easily could have fed three people. It was so good she nearly hurt herself trying to finish it. She almost made it through all the green beans, too, but I managed to snag the last one--and it was delicious. Then came my Reuben: a massive, five-layer monstrosity. I actually asked the waitress whether they made it that way just to impress me (since I had announced upfront that I'm a bit of a Reuben snob, lol) or if all their Reubens are like this. She swore they're all made exactly the same. You've got to see the photo. The marbled rye was sturdy and didn't collapse under the weight of two layers of thinly sliced smoked beef and a thick layer of juicy, tangy sauerkraut. I'm a kraut lover, so I really appreciated how generous they were. The house-made Thousand Island-style sauce tied everything together perfectly. In the nearly 17 years I've been posting on Urbanspoon, Zomato, and now Yelp, this Reuben easily sits in my top three--maybe even my #1. The smoky flavor made it unique, and I loved it. My only regret was not being able to finish this monster of a sandwich--it was delicious but messy, and I went through a handful of napkins. A lovely lady came out to ask how I liked the Reuben and introduced herself as one of the owners. (I apologize--I've forgotten her name!) My only suggestion would be to keep the meat thinly sliced--shaved would be even better--and maybe offer a half portion at a lower price. As it was, I could barely touch my perfectly cooked French fries. To top off the experience, my wife ordered the bread pudding. She has a "gold standard" bread pudding from years ago that she compares all others to, and she said this one was just as good, if not better, than her all-time favorite. I wish we had a Sugar and Smoke closer to home, because it would absolutely be a regular stop for us. It's so refreshing to find an establishment that cares this much about its food and its customers.

I took the hostess' recommendation since I was torn between the adobo pork tacos and the 2 meat platter. She suggested sampling just 1 of the tacos and then also getting the 2 meat platter; allowing a good perusal of the offerings there. So delicious was the taco that I was genuinely sad I only had the one. The cilantro crema really highlighted the smoky pork perfectly. It was a short sadness though since I dove into the platter next. I got the pulled pork and shrimp platter with 5 cheese mac-n-cheese and coleslaw. The only better pulled pork I've had is made by my husband. Really impressed with the hostess, the food, and the quickness for takeout. The store is spacious and set up nicely without pretension. The only complaint I can come up with is the location/parking area isn't the best. It's tucked away behind a crappy roadway and parking can be a bit tight for bigger vehicles. Overall... a definite addition to our restaurant visit rotation.

Waited 30 minutes when I noticed only two tables had food delivered since we sat down. I looked around and counted 18 tables that were sat before us patiently waiting for food.

Docs items are not cooked to order. Owners don't walk out when 80% of their patrons are experiencing extended waits on food, and one new employee should not be the excuse given at Doc's Smokehouse.

My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum.

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

When I moved over to the Riverbend area, I was worried about finding a good BBQ restaurant. After…read moreall, I had so many to choose from living in the city of STL. There it was like finding a Walgreens, there practically was one on every block. After a few misses at other restaurants, I thought I'd give Fire-n-Smoke a try. Actually, I was driving back from STL and my go to in STL was closed due to a water pipe break, so I had no BBQ in the car. When I programmed their address in the GPS, I was shocked how close it was to the intersection of 111 and 255. This was going to be an easy pick-up and back on the road to home. First impressions count and this place was super clean, practicing social distancing and everyone was wearing mask (correctly) and the staff were also wearing gloves on both sides of the counter. Win! Being a first time visitor, I'll admit I went overboard with my order. I ordered way to much food for one person, but I got to sample many things and I divided it up into additional meals. Not only did I have today's lunch, but I also have lunch and dinner for tomorrow. To sample multiple meats, I ordered the Three Meat Platter. I choose; Baby Back Ribs, Burnt Ends and Pulled Pork. The young cashier recommended the pulled pork, she said it was one of their most popular. Out of the three meats, it was my favorite. The ribs had good flavor, but did not totally fall off the bone the way I like it. I had to do some work, to get all the meat off the bone. The Burnt Ends were good, but a little fattier then I am use to. However, I'll give them another try. My platter came with two sides. Everyone raves about the Mac-n-Cheese in the Yelp reviews, so it was a no brainer to choose it. Again, I asked the cashier which other one I should choose and she recommended the Fried Potato Twisters. I didn't want two heavy carbs, so I asked if they did the BBQ Beans in house and she said, yes. I know it's another carb, but it just seemed a better choice. Also, easier to split up into another meal than cold fries. I liked the Mac-n-Cheese. I really appreciated that it was baked and served in its own separate tin dish. Could have had more seasoning for me, but that can be resolved with a pepper shaker and spices from home. The BBQ Beans were pretty standard and had good flavor and lots of brisket pieces in it. In addition to the Three Meat Platter, I ordered 6 Chicken Wings and I'll tell you now, these little babies will be a go to for me. They are smoked over oak before being tossed in the fryer and tossed in the sauce of your choice. I had the Buffalo sauce served on the side for mine. No sauce needed, these little beauties tasted divine, just as they were. Best of all, they also packaged them, 3 flats and 3 drums. If you know me, you know I want the numbers to match. Service was friendly and as stated earlier, they were following CDC guidelines to the max. So glad I finally gave them a try and realized it's only a 12-15 drive from home. Not bad for good BBQ.

Ordered a 3 meat platter, ribs, burnt ends & brisket, sides were Mac & cheese & twisted fries. Platter took a few minutes to make while we freshened up, got our drinks and found a table. Food was delivered and first off everything looked yummy, everything was also hot which is important to me. Ribs were lightly smoked, had good bark on them & were seasoned well. Burnt ends were delicious and so was the brisket. Platter served with 2 slices of bread & garlic butter, this was a nice touch. Sides were both yummy as well. Tried a few of their specialty sauces and they were delicious as well. Now I may be nit picking here, but they lost a point for how the platters were served, 2 identical platters should be identical. One platter had thick cut brisket, the other thin sliced. One had Mac & cheese with crunchy crumbles, the other no crumbles. Also the ribs were dry, I know with baby back there is not much meat, but these were overdone.
